Curious about this since I haven't seen any in a long time. Was wondering if we have actual law or if everything is the wild west right now.
You may not.Drathnoxis said:Yes there are. I got a warning for something silly a couple weeks ago. I can't say that there's anybody handling appeals though. Haven't gotten a response yet.
When you say "a long time", what timeframe do you mean exactly?Specter Von Baren said:Curious about this since I haven't seen any in a long time.
I, for one, thank all of you mods for what you've done. These forums helped me through a continuous tough time in my life.Gethsemani said:The mod team is most likely laying low right now considering that there are some really big changes incoming in the next few weeks/months. Not making too much of a fuss is a good idea when Pitts and his team are still trying to get the site off the ground again.
Now that the Ecapist is an actual gaming site with content updates again, the mod team is taking a step back and letting the owners sort things out. The days of a mod team that basically ran a defunct site from the kindness of their hearts are gone.
Damn... how what's the timeframe on that? It's only fairly recently that the forums haven't been either dead or infested with arguments over a certain topical issue.ObsidianJones said:I, for one, thank all of you mods for what you've done.

If I drank, I'd tilt one back with the lot of you
My mother had her stroke in 2013. At that time, I was already taking care of my father while trying to work at the same time. I had to take care of them both.Specter Von Baren said:Damn... how what's the timeframe on that?

Wish I could be so positive. I'm a bit too jaded by what I've seen on the net since then, not just on that subject or these forums but also in places like the League of Legends boards... so much illogical complaining and raging...ObsidianJones said:My mother had her stroke in 2013.

A lot of people saw only arguments. And to be fair, there were quite a few. But I saw life and discussion.

Some time last week when I stopped being a moderator. In the words of Ace Levy: "I am just here toElijin said:When did your name stop being blue?
I appreciate it (and I am sure the mods do too), for me it was always about paying forward for all the good times this forum has given me. I figured I could at least see the Escapist go dignified into that long dark. Thankfully, Pitts and his crew came around and revived the site instead, which is a much better outcome then a permanent 404 error one day.ObsidianJones said:I, for one, thank all of you mods for what you've done.

It's weird, and don't take this as a complaint, but I kinda miss those days. I of course appreciate that there is new content here, and that there is no longer the specter of a sudden and final death hanging over the site, but it was kinda neat having a little enclave of people with no ultimate oversight. We had mods, but they didn't answer to anyone, no corporate mandates and no safety net. It felt to me like an actual wild west situation, where we were so far from a centralized power base that it all belonged to each of us instead of "Them."Gethsemani said:The mod team is most likely laying low right now considering that there are some really big changes incoming in the next few weeks/months.
