There is process of selecting a moderator, and many factors are considered. I can't provide specifics but Oberon or one of the CM can.
@ The Stormfall Community
The process of choosing moderator is complex, and always the best man/woman is selected. I might not be the Ideal SUPER MOD, but I like to think I am the Ideal member of these community. I was here almost everyday, and will continue to do so. Simply because I love the game, and I love helping people.
I too doubt my capacity and expertise. It wasn't my attention to apply, at first I nominated DJ, but latter I applied and I was chosen. And I will not disappoint you, because I work for you. I will continue to answer your questions, not because I know but because I care, AND I will continue to amuse you in all I can.

tbh, looking back at your posting history, you gone from somewhat been critical towards plarium and their actions, towards how far you can bend over now recently. So the question might rise did you become a mod due to the "rewards" a mod benefit of ingame. Or because you have some illusion of might make a difference? A certain farewell thread of a mod recently, describe very well that is not likely or possible due to how Plarium work.

wheres my pay off? i just get suspended. i got suspended once for posted the name and address of person who created Master.Jez, its just like the forums contests. I tested a theory after Jummy won sapphires for an incorrect answer during a contest..If you speak enough truth and it embarrass plarium they will try and pay you off.
My test was.... I went total ham here being the biggest ass I could then entered a contest and viola.. 10k sapps to my account, even tho my response was totally made up. :)
in fact.... my earlier post in this thread was deleted. lol.
If a post is deleted it is simply not visible for most people Moderators and Community Managers can still read them. They are archived with all other posts in the thread. That is how posts can be restored and closed threads can be reopened but normally are not.IronApex Turok said:

btw... when a mod deletes your post, does your post count remain the same? or does it drop?

can a moderator that actually knows the answer reply? does the post count under my avatar remain the same when a post is deleted?
The answer has already been provided by Brunson. Your post is just archived for a limitted time, Moderators CM and administrators can still see it. Your post count( topics) stay the same.
The reason for these is to keep the history of the forum, so latter on it can be restored, or used as evidence against you.

With comments, answer has been provided by Bioharzard. They stay the same, and Moderators, Community managers and Administrators can still see them on the topic, with a post deleted on the left.

Well being a mod also come with certain perks and rewards. If it seems like you undergo a whole persona transformation in the process of become a mod, People might start to wonder if there is any agenda behind it. Just sayingWhy all the angst about mods? As far as I know this is a volunteer position and they do their best, even when subjected to trolling.
Personally, Mods such as Brunson do a great job and don't deserve constant questioning of their decisions.
lately is seems its the opposite. We have moderators closing threads and taunting other players, admitting to having alts in other leagues has a history of name calling DJMoody during discussions. how is that keeping the forum clean?Forum Moderators are players, who are willing to help others with their knowledge and keep the forum clean.
We choose them from those, who apply. Also, we check their activity and answers they give on forum.

IF Plarium is honest.. this forum is not very active... yet the threads that are most active... are closed down because of "flaming" or "criticism".
There was 26 votes of no confidence for Oracle as moderator. My guess is that at most 200 people look at the forum on a regular basis and actually post something. that means that over 10% of the active forum community casted a vote of no confidence for him. And as we all know, the active forum community rarely agrees on anything. so 26 people agreeing on anything is almost unheard of.
Oracle is a forum troll. pure and simple. He has little to no knowledge of the game, and commands zero respect from the players of Stormfall.In 2 years and a half years of playing the game in server one.. he has only managed to get to level 77 and he commands a powerful league made up of himself and 14 alts.
You either picked an alt as a moderator or you picked a player who has no idea what he is doing. Either way.. keep it up and the forum will start to look like Atlantis... sinking farther and farther.
Fully agree here ...
You promoted a liar and a total nOOB that has zero skills ingame.
For the record I dont see the duplicate in this thread and mine that was originally in leagues where I planned and wanted it to be.
It seems abusing of powers is normal within the moderators team ... dont look suprised to be without a job at one point as you need an active community to support your game.

I only closed thread which I was asked to close by the person who started those threads/the threads is about.
I don't know why I would research, and place an article here saying the practice of alts is a manifestation of a disease while I have an alts. I don't know why I would have an alts while I tell people here everyday not do have alts. All my friends know I hate alts, and will report them, for using alts. Why would I have an alt ?
I believe alts are a manifestation of a serious physiological, maybe even Psychological problem, and I have placed a thesis here( Alternative accounts and DID), which people debated on, and reached a consensus on.
About DJ MOODY
He called me out on something that I didn't say, only to prove what I said, after the facts where laid down he didn't apologize. The apparent calling out was just to use me, then an Ex-member of UE to fight UE. DJ is a respectful member of the forum, and I have nominated him to became a moderator before applying myself. We have disagreement, and we debate at times, and will continue to do so.Really??
lol
Been a while since this happend but a very valid point Test :)
To the kiddo, yes you admitted having alts several times, best thing now is to just own up to it but then being honest was never one of you strong points.
is Trentos one of your alts since he seems all in love with you?
I don't see you neighbour, are you out of teleports.

I have dozens left, dont you worry little girl.
But since this is teamefford and I noticed you were already besieged by another KT member ah well...
You enjoying your game nowadays?
Or would you like me to explain few game basics to you?
There is no need to spam me with private messages on this board btw kiddo, you are blocked :)
Uncovering you in posts for the lying cheating nOOb you are is a totally different matter

Is this how you behave, or is it that Dutch personality you use as an excuse? I'm just a player that thinks best to give a guy a chance, rather than resort to insults like "little girl" and "kiddo". It's that simple. You should try it sometime
Trentos, you never cease to give me content to troll you with:
You've seem to have gotten your knickers in a tissy over the word "little girl" and "kiddo"...yet you have no problem throwing around "sociopath" and insulting what you believe to be people's real life.
Just the other day in another thread you're talking about how you 100% agree with DJ in regards to leaving RL out of the forums and how it's unacceptable - and yet, just a few days earlier, you're bringing what you consider to be someone's RL to the forums and attempting to degrade people.


Trentos, you really are pathetic.
