Moderator Application [Conquer Online 2]

[Kujiku]

I totally support your application and hope you the best of luck.

Pop off Gareth, you got this.

As one of the original community managers of Conquer Online since beta - having solicited the sale of and launch of the official servers in tandem with TQ - having experience in community management of other private servers and knowing of Spirited Fang's general history here on EPVP as a pro lurker; I concur with the sentiment that Spirited has shown a dedication to the community which has been slowly draining from the experience pool over a long history of the CO epvp community.

We could mince some meat and call out his past - or accept who he is today and what this means to the community today. A lot of vitriol in CO2 section comes from folks who are simply tired and done with the money grab tactics which result in an overall loss of player base.

It would be beneficial to the community if there were a policy in place and a requirement set not just for format but also to police exploitative and repeat offenders. If you haven't been here for years to get to know the names and trustworthiness of the devs and teams yet you wanted to get involved you would be burned right out of your desire to participate.

For some of us - it just took being hit over and over by others while carrying a torch of "I love CO, I love this community - I'm here for it" - This is called ElitePvPers - I for one advocate a return to the core of elitism - there should be less threads with more value.

I hereby vote yes - I want spirited to moderate my tone, my words, my posts and my efforts to reach the community so that there is a known concerted effort to protect the community that I may operate within and feel more connected to. Otherwise we can continue this cycle of abuse - your decision.

Well, I think elitism is more of a problem than a solution for our little community. I'd rather encourage members to be more elite - encouraging better code quality and enabling members to refine their abilities (whether that's in art, client modding, server programming, web programming, etc). I do agree that we could benefit from having a community member as a mod, though. I hoped I could help fill that vacancy since it's been years since having a mod, but we'll see. I'm grateful I have the trust of the community, but asking the admins for their trust is a big ask.

why is gareth not a moderator yet?

[Spirited]

It's been two months today since I started this application, so an update on my contributions to the section:

• I worked with our global mod to help clean up the advertisements section of violations and stale entries.
• I also worked to add a new stickied collective thread for looking for group / partnerships in the section which has already seen some use.
• Wiki revisions are still being worked on as I confirm details with active community developers.
• I updated my open-source project to .NET 6 and added loads of new documentation for getting started (supports multiple patches of Conquer).
• I released a that allows members to download assets for map creation.
• Started work with members on a new custom map.

To everyone who commented on this thread with their support, thanks a lot. Looking forward to hopefully hearing from the admin team soon. I know the work is pretty minor for that section, but I'd still love to help out and provide more prompt moderation for our dedicated little community.

I think you would do a great job as a CO2 moderator (especially with your background and experience), sadly after all what happened within your time on elitepvpers it is just not possible for us to risk adding you to a staff-position again. We always give a second chance, but this would be your 3rd/4th one, and we made it very clear in the past that this will not happen.
