I'd be fine with letting the long time vtns take over if there's no mods on; give them responsibility... We didn't promote them for nothing. If people(Zerg) doesn't think there should be mods anymore, then fine. But, I can tell you this.. The server will pay. Like mattchuu said, eve derps sometimes.
I'm tired, and full from dinner last night, and I might be.. Well, seem like I'm not making sense, but this is what I see. There are many vtns who would make GOOD moderators, this is coming from a person who's been one since May.. What I'm saying is.. And I don't meen to be rude, but some of you guys don't know what you're talking about. A lot of you thought italia wouldn't be a good mod, he is.. Isn't he? I know a few people who thought Dukem wouldn't be good, he is, isn't he? Unboxer too.. He might have changed near the end, but he was a damn good moderator.
My point is, most of you don't know what it's like to be a moderator, don't know how easy/hard it is; we do. I know of three... Three people who would make good mods, right now. And another who might make a good one. I might.. I don't know, lose some respect from this post, or something like that, I really could care less right now. The server is in trouble, we need more mods.
Con said that promoting people in haste is bad; well, generally he's right. Though, HovR was promoted, along with Reilem, because krisst went on vacation, they both turned out great, right? Dukem was also.. Now, I've got to admit, there have been.. A few mods on another server, that were hastily promoted as well.. Didn't go too well.
What I'm trying to say is, @Zerg, getting rid of moderatators and going fully automatic is a step in the wrong direction. At least now, it is. Now, eve is good and all, by eve I mean the rollback, etc.. But it does mess up sometimes, and when it does.. It's not good. Keep it the way it is now. @everyone who says they's noone to be a good moderators.. There are 3 prime candidates that I'd think would make good mods. I wasn't wrong on Udo, Dukem, Unboxer, italia, etc. Almost everyone I suggested in the past, has been an amazing mod. Believe you, me.. I know what I am talking about.
I.. Am tired of typing on my phone, on the bus.. So, I am going to 'shut up' now, and hopefully thi post makes sense.. If it doesn't, all is well. You get the idea.
