Look I know staff are busy with real life stuff and the various projects they are working on for the shard but it really would be nice to see some more moderating going on on the forums and world chat. If all staff had some form of access to do this (or in the case of forums, they don't even need to be staff, just a trusted member) then it wouldn't be too hard to cover all times slots without creating serious amounts of work for one (or a small few) person.

There seems to be way to much arguing, negativity, raging etc.. going on and nothing gets done even though there are rules in place. It can't be good for attracting new people seeing such things.

to put it simply..

In the forums and word chat there is far too much..

- Flame wars
- Abusing people who disagree with you
- Arguing
- Too many threads on the same negative topic (these could be merged and/or deleted)
- General negativity
- Non-English world chat

and it's not just limited to those things, there are probably other things too. I don't know much on how the world chat works but in another thread there was talk about maybe adding in a squelch to it, but if that does happen is it actually going to be used or just go ignored like it is now. It would just be nice if these negative stuff where stopped before they reach the scale that they do and the rules where actually enforced because right now it seems they are just shrugged off and not worried about.

Why do we have rules if they are not enforced... Some simple things like locking or deleting posts on the forums could stop a lot of it, nothing wrong with a little healthy debating but the flat out arguing and flame wars is crazy. Not sure what can be done about chat, unless a squelch feature is in place or can be added (though would require more mods in the IN channel to to stop them just logging in there and continuing).

+1 and Bump. This whole lack of moderation only is enough to make me quit personally , and im not the kind to get offended easily , but when every day the same 3 people bickers on public chat , while GM's are online, and that they do nothing , i just think this is a bit ridiculous to even have such rules to begin with. Then my imagination runs wild and i wonder , if those simple rules arent even enforced , what about more serious rules , like afk gathering ? ( COUGH COUGH AFK MINERS ) This just makes me think that the gms on this shard arent professional at all , or that you guys arent simply enough to cover the whole task. maybe you need more GMs.

All kind of players can be attracted by a shard like imagine nation , and personally with the current population , i think the staff should do everything in their power to make the whole experience fun for everyone ; and for alot of people like me who roleplay a bit , my experience is ruined when i see constant flaming and lack of respect from a few rotten apples.
