Think about it this way, if my appearance, just my simple showing up and posting ONCE sparked so much unrest, something isnt right. Currently it seems you're living to closely to that "Mods are your Gods" crap, I never once acted that way as a mod, not ONCE, and none of you should either. Doesn't it strike you odd that I was a mod too and in that whole time nobody had debates with me like this? In power there must be compassion otherwise you're merely tyrants. That is my current opinion no those in charge, and my viewpoint should hold some merit to you guys considering I know whats it like to be in your shoes.
Lionheart, I have been a moderator at several different forums, and an administrator at one, in my lifetime. Over these years, I have gained a wealth of knowledge about how you must act in one 'position of power', as it has been called. When Sol mentioned in the rules that, 'mods are your gods' and whatnot, he did not mean that members are governed in an entirety by the moderators. You will not find one forum on this vast Internet, and I challenge you to try, that allows the contradiction and utter defiance of the moderators. Moderators exist in order to guide and help the posters. If every member on one forum was a perfect little angel, would there be a need for forum staff? No. But the fact remains, trouble sparks up; moderation is always required on all forums.
Compassion is a strong aspect of the moderation on these forums, Lionheart. In Kefka's case, I have not posted even once in that specific thread, so I shall keep my mouth shut on the matter. When it boils down to tyranny, what you must understand is that, on occasion, moderators must be a little more strict than you may like. It troubles me that tyranny would even be so much as mentioned on an easy-going forum such as this one. Your opinion, as does everyone's, holds very much merit to the current staff, as all opinions on these forums matter equally.

We have had a crapload of spammers on site lately who have obtained high post counts through wholly irrelevant posts icedragon being one of them his posts should be flat out deleted for the most part but aside from warning hes gone untouched but people who make intelligent but eccentric posts have them editted doesnt seem right at all
I will agree with you here, Kashima. This does not seem right, but please accept my assurance that the staff here at Ragol.co.uk are always working diligently to better ourselves and the community in which we surround.
