(Anonymous) 2007-12-11 12:27 am (UTC)(link)Time zones, work loads, personal conflicts, and perhaps even a chance to have fun ON THEIR OWN TIME. The Mods are not PAID to run an RPG, they do it out of their own choice, and they have to, not only keep up and uphold their own Rules and serve as a role model for other players. It is not a Job where they are expected to meet certain quotas and only that, it is not a task given to them by someone, it is a full time, stress ridden hell that they must fit into their already cramed schedules. You can bitch and moan about getting it all in, but you have to come to terms with the fact that they are human. And Fuck, fate and time love throwing curve balls.
Yes, I understand, there are a few mods who do not seem to pull their weight, but this causes the others to strain and try to fill in that gap. It's not quite as fair.
The Mods for apps have a 2 mod approval policy, and often there is only ONE mod who knows the series well enough to make a call, especially with those animes or series that are obscure. If you say "then have that ONE mod do those apps" you run into yet another problem. Then the character is subject to their point of view, and the RP group becomes ridged and stale, and quite frankly BORING. At least with two, there could be two different views agreeing on that one fandom.
Even if you hand off the job to another mod, then you'll just run into the same problem. And then there is the 'getting used to period' and the other jobs, the taken character cleanup, character disputes, and 'hinting' and lazy asses to get back and active. You can complain and bitch all you like, but do you actually take the time to try and send them an email instead of some childish 'fandomsecret' bitchfest?
Also, consider that quite a few apps go along like so" They arrive, they go wtf, and go nuts". Not as descriptive as a "who I am, what do I want, and do I understand the goals of this character". You the player have a responsibility to the mod to provide as much info in one sitting, and they have to put it to their judgment if they think it is usable and enjoyable for the game, just like at a job, you are to provide to the maximum of your abilities and your boss will direct you to what you need to improve on. IT IS NOT AN EXCUSE TO PLAY BLAME GAME. Except the mods don't get paychecks.
Whine, bitch, complain complain complain, if that is all you are going to do, then take the driver's seat and see how well you do. It's like when you're a kid, you bitch and complain that your parents have let you do anything, and then when you grow up, OMG, SO MUCH RESPONSIBILITY. They were players who decided I wanted to help run this and fill a gap. When they are obviously failing, shouldn't it be the PLAYERS who then step up to plate, take SOME time out of THEIR schedules and try and Help? That's what I think a community is.
Not everything is fun and games, and if you think it should, go back to mommy and daddy for more childish pampering.

I'm just trying to explain the principle of the thing to people that DON'T SEEM TO GET that when you sign on as a mod for something? You're agreeing to take on responsibilities (OK, it's not life or death, but when 100+ people are banking on you to be there, I'd take that seriously). And when you have responsibilities, you should take care of them... or step down, if you can't handle it.
