It’s a Mods Life

Posted by Stropp on March 21, 2007

Man, I’d hate to be one of the CM Mods on the World of Warcraft official forums.

Those folks must have the patience of saints, or at least the patience of someone with a lot of patience. Maybe we should change the saying to "someone with the patience of a Blizzard Mod."

One of the forum rules is for the posters not to cry out to nerf some other class. If you make such a post, there’s a good possibility of getting at least a temporary ban from the forums. Since all your characters are linked to one account, that means none of them will be usable to post during that time. Along with this, posting about being banned is also a bannable offence.

I find it hilarious to see posts like this and this. These posts may not be related at all, but the principle is still there. If you don’t want to be banned, obey the rules. Running full pelt at walls hurts, and it’s funny to watch.

Patient: Doctor, it hurts when I do this.

Doctor: Then don’t do it.

I hardly ever post, but I do read the forums from time to time and I reckon the mods do a great job with the Blizzard forums. They’d be unreadable without the CMs.
