Just talk to me or SuperWaffle if you don't respect or agree with their decisions. Now. MY personal definition of a good Forum Moderator is, as you said, to not only mediate an issue or solve a problem, but to take it that extra step and make sure it doesn't happen again, by any means necessary. A permanent peace-keeper, and not a temporary one. This, isn't in the rules I've created nor the rules that were posted before me. The reason nothing is done about them is that they've done nothing wrong. The way I moderated was the way I personally wanted things done. I wanted to keep everyone happy. I don't have time for that now. Now, I have time to take care of Forum Reports, stalk the Shout-box, check threads with names that catch my eyes, and moderate threads on a lower scale. We didn't hire the Moderator's to work just as hard as them, so we'll have to get used to things working different now that my time is past. They've done their jobs alright from what I've PERSONALLY seen, I can't judge anymore than what I've seen, but if anyone would like to compile a list of items of theirs I can personally look at that is positive or negative I'm more than willing to take a look at it.
