Argument: Lately threads are being made and mods have been locking it because they say it lacked effort to make. If I'm not mistaken most of these threads that are bing locked are being made in off topic. So, how do you decide if a thread was given effort or not? Every thread is different, like how every art is different. You can't compare a master pease to a third grade drawing, and criticize it on how bad the art is because art can't be compared, it only good be appreciated. The same goes for a thread. When a thread is made it was given effort to be made, so when you say it lacked effort than it makes you sound like an idiot, doesn't matter if the thread was a question, statement or an advise. Or is it just that you guys don't have nothing to do in your real life, that you spend hours in this game stalking and waiting for your next prey to screw up. No worries I know how it feels, and it feels good. Ummm.. What am I saying I started this game just this month. What a noob I am, or is it what a noob I shall become...... Wait that doesn't sound right.
As mods, we are here to determine what flies and what doesn't. That is the authority given to us by ATA. No one wants an AT filled with crap. We don't need masterpieces, but we also don't want litter. Ultimately, if you disagree with our decision to lock low effort threads, you may email support and appeal our decision. Support acts as a "check" on moderator decisions and gives you a chance to see if ATA agrees with what we do. Hope you found this helpful
but I do agree with you. lack of effort shouldn't be up to the mods discretion. if the thread contributes to the topic of the forum section then it is a valid thread. lack of effort should not be criteria for locking a thread.
Moose, Define your definition of litter please. Unless you think litter is a thread that's short and gets to the point or has a point to make. Or do you think litter is a long thread that has BB codes but no point or purpose.
Most of what I have you make is actually short and pointless. As a bonus you have thrown many of those threads out into forums. I'm actually surprised you haven't been forum banned for spam yet. However, I do understand that forums gets a bit more leeway than in-game does.
Litter is a thread that doesn't meet the standard of quality that we require here. Who sets that standard? Moderstors do. Who gave us thst right? ATA did. Who determines if moderstors are doing their job well? Support.
"no one wants ATA filled with crap" Says the guy that makes hate filled political threads every week.
So we're being graded on how well we make a thread, wow that sound promising. I should of went to forums school when I had the chance. So if I have a simple question to ask, like: What's better Xbox 1 or ps4? So I have to make an over achieved thread just to ask a simple question like that.... Wow
So by your thinking, is all art worth appreciating? I don't go to an art gallery to look at a garbage can, I go to look at works by Picasso, or Michelangelo. Same goes with forums. We decide based off of our ATA-endorsed judgement, to ensure that we keep forums clean and awesome. And no, we don't sit around waiting for people to screw up, we have lives too.
We just need to support the crap out of the mods. Of all the kaw players, these are the select few who have absolutely nothing better to do with their lives 99% of the time. They spent countless hours on this text based virtual reality..and those moments when they get to use their ATA given super power are the highlights of their day...this game is all they have..moderating is their life. Without kaw...they would have no purpose...so love the mods...appreciate them. They need all the online positive vibes they can get
Trip, Full Support!! Daphnia, Avatar, Ya-Eagle-Fi and LHL_LegendaryHero_LHL have worked hard too. Recognitions to them!!
