Alright, before we get this started, I'd like to thank Shishou for her input on the world design. Much love, miss.

Now onto business. It's been brought up a lot of times in my history of modding the chat here at theO and I'd like to bring this up to everyone so we're on the same page.. I'm a chat moderator theotaku.com's community chat. It's my job to do these things.
1: Watch the members and supervise them. If they have questions or need assistance, I'm more than glad to help.
2: Warn members who don't follow the rules and encourage them to follow the, rules. I don't make them up and I don't play favorites. You break the rules; I bust you; you get warned.
While I'm a very cordial person, I don't necessarily want to be your friend , nor do I consider myself to be one of yours. Sure, it sounds rather demeaning, but I don't know any of you personally outside a select few people. I like to get to know people on my own terms and when I get to know you, then I can call you friends.
Now, my job will always come first in the chat . I've warned everyone with out a any sort of favoritism or personal feelings. The rules are pretty cut and dry and they don't leave much room for interpretation. If you have any questions about them, I'd be happy to discuss them and bring them up to SunfallE, but I'm not about to take back any warnings because you don't agree with the rules. If you want to not get warned, don't break the rules. Simple.
Chat moderation may seem like a glamorous job, but in reality it's not. It's a boring and relatively uneventful job. You are ultimately responsible for keeping others out of the fire and behaving, and it's your job to keep order of the whole chat. Sounds pretty daunting doesn't it? So while we may look and talk like rock stars, we're really the roadies.
Sorry.
So now that the record's set straight, lemme point out some gripes I have with some of the things that go on in the chat.
Perversion isn't cool. No matter who you are, it's wrong and inappropriate . Making another room that you may think gets you away from mods actually doesn't . You are still responsible for your actions and if another member reports you, you're gonna get punished.
Mods can be leery of you if you have a reputation. This is another thing that really gets me. A member causes an action, by themselves, and they get upset because the mods get on their case and then watch over them. The problem is self inflicted and we have the right to question you. That's our job.You want us not to be watching over you, then don't do it. It's simple.
Mods are People too. We have the right to talk to whomever we wish, Whenever we want. We can go to different rooms. We have feelings. We are here to serve you members, but we are NOT here to be your personal help desk. Many problems can be solved by simply looking up the answer on the site. If you have issues with a m member, then bring them up. However don't be like this:
"OMG HE'S BEING MEAN TO ME"
That's not gonna net you anything. Look up the Chat rules before bringing up an issue.

Ok I feel better now, take care everyone.
