5. Let's envision a situation: You want to go AFK in the wilderness, but you don't want to leave your friends, so you turn on Infinite Hp, but you forget to turn auto-retaliate off. You go use the restroom, or check another page, or even leave your house. You come back to see your character killing people, but you don't die. Everyone knows, everyone assumes you abuse your powers frequently. It's all over the forums, people talk about you. Then it gets back to your superiors. They then come down hard on you for your recklessness. Sound like fun?
that before hehehe
it does get you into trouble

Why does it matter if someone said "I want to be a Player Moderator!" in the first place? I made a lot of people (not exactly not want to be, but notice they couldn't) think about how worthy of being a mod they really were. They were saying "How could i become a mod?" which almost automatically makes them un-modworthy (not always, but often). I said if they aren't happy playing how a moderator should, they don't want to be a mod for the right reasons. That's why people can't call me a wannabe mod anymore. :P
This really covered a lot of reasons why I didn't completely want to be a mod in the first place.. Glad to see someone pointed them out ;D

That doesn't really matter, but in writing this I gave many people insight into what happens after you get the crown, many think it's an easy job, they think you get free stuff. That's why they want it.
But hopefully this opens the eyes of all the suck ups, making them see what they "want" isn't exactly how they imagine it is.
Plus they don't get any free items :(
One thing I have noticed. Some people that become moderators start looking down on everyone else and think they are better than everyone.

Those who are moderators volunteer their time and effort, they are members of the community that help. Player Moderators are players that can moderate the server. Obtaining such crown is a high responsibility. We should not act as if we are better than everyone else, because we're not. Although being noticed from the crown shown every time we speak does over time make us feel as if we're gaining superiority over others which we are not.
Volcanic, you hit the target! This is so relevant to what people say often who are not moderators.
I don't know what else to say.
Those are some very good points; I'll be sure to keep them in mind.
I have seen this happen with me and my other staff in multiple servers I have been staff in.
I will still be running for mod later this year though so count on that!
Well put travis. I bet this changed some people's minds. You were a good mod. And this proves you learned from the experience. :)
We all know you loved muting me travis. :D
~Jack.
Good points there, I'm still thinking about if I want to be a Player Moderator or not. ;)
good post dude :)
you really worked hard on it to make other people understand that mod not only has good sides
but also the not fun sides (downs)
