Pyritie, I think you are over reacting. Forgive me when I say this, but I don't think typing in caps-lock will prove your point any better. Just makes you look angry for a not small purpose. So calm down and take it easy. Rising_Dusk is entitled to his opinion as everyone else is - as he had also said so in his post too - and what he is trying to do is convince us all that things are wrong and is trying to pursuade us to make them right. Though in a lot of cases, he is right, perhaps he's not entirely correct about the type of power we should give moderators. This part, semi-agree with Pyritie. Rising_Dusk is implying we give moderators whom Ralle thinks can do the job well enough the power to ban, kick, and all that other stuff a great moderator can and would do... well, has Ralle not chosen people whom he believes is right for their position? If not, why the hell are they moderators? Thus makings that portion of the post a little confusing. And if Ralle isn't the one in charge of that - which is unlikely since he pays for the site/forum - who would be in charge of choosing the right people for the job? Users? Moderators? It's one big circle of jack-offs (no offense) who would rather vote for theirself or a friend. Honestly, corruption has reached the Hive and it is noticable, even by those who are not moderators or administrators such as Rising_Dusk himself.
However... I do agree that NEARLY the entire team of moderators (mini-mods, admins, global mods, etc.) should be purged and rethought by the king of the Hive, Mr. Ralle himself. Why? Well apparently the people - users - are very unhappy with moderators of choice and how they work and so, as the moderators are meant to clean the forum and keep it USER-FRIENDLY, this is crucial. People who I think deserve the right to stay - off the top of my head - are Bob27, Wolverabid, MasterHaosis, Brad.Dude03, and General_Frank. Not a very large list, but I've had only two hours of sleep last night so its hard to process the names of everyone who I personally think is fit for the job. I'd mention the people I am not comfortable with being moderators, but that'd just instantly lead up to flame war which I really cannot be bothered with, so I'll keep quiet as talking about that would do me no good.
Rising_Dusk seems to know what he is talking about. He wants to turn this into Wc3Campaings 2 - not literally... - by the way everything is ran, and that much I disagree with. Frankly, this is a discussion which should be spoken in an instant messanger conversation; not even in Hive Chat. At that, I rest my ranting case.
If you disagree with me to, flame me. Its just the type of behavior we are to expect now as Rising_Dusk, once again, mentioned and is somewhat true. He posts an opinion, Hive moderators put him down. Have we no civility nor decency around this forum anymore? We always talk about how great and helpful we are, then when the time comes - such as this - we totally blow it and contradict our claims. Meh... I'm a little sick of Hive Workshop to be totally honest and very tired, so I'll just shut the hell up right here.
