Knowing this kind of "Fix this" thread, it will flame over until it's closed months later.

I'll try to sum up my whole opinion on this in one post and not post here again after. I have no say in what actually happens with the forums so this is just my opinion.

All departments have rights to moderate forums because all departments have client access and are allowed to spend time in game, why not let them moderate the forums while they are at it? There is a "secret" staff subforum that has all the rules for deleting/editing/closing posts for each individual thread. And as far as I have seen all of these rules are being followed by all staff that are moderating the forums. Some may be a little more stricter than others (which is what I figure players dont like). And in all honesty I dont think the ZP team is large or active enough to do all the in game stuff and moderate forums at all times. There are times I log on late at night and not a single ZP is even online.

So to sum it up, it looks to me like there is just a few players getting pissy over being called out on not being allowed to "share their opinion" (harass a staff member through the forums) and claim its power abuse, when, like in past events similar to this it is just the staff member doing as they have been told.

As for 100k pk rewards, I do agree with you on that. I'll see if I can get a project started on that after I get some other updates out of the way.

Ono. im not mad about anything i just think that players should be able to discuss the game. And atm yeah there arent enuf zone patrol members. But i still think only zps should moderate the forums. The extra help may be helpful but its still not why they were hired and there would be too many moderators once(if) zone has more zps.

I didn't think you were. But Ive seen some people who wont shut up about this.

Anyway though, the problem with having a forums is that you need a lot more ZP than you should, that being since you really cant monitor the actual game and forums efficiently at the same time, especially hours where there are a small amount of ZP on. And tbh I don't think Cassie is going to hire enough ZP to have staff on all day moderating the forums and game (hey I could be wrong). So really I don't see an issue with having support for the forums at no cost. It's almost like saying devs shouldn't be allowed to answer player questions, because thats not what we are there for.

Forum moderation has been limited to only Zone Patrol members. However, if you suspect abuse, please tell me and I can remove their moderation rights. (After investigation, of course).

Thats true. But they can still answer the questions. just not close the thread to prevent further discussion... which can very likely lead to another question. Which is another reason why i dont understand this- Answer then close- thing. Nd yeah some players got a little carried away xd.
