My problem regards MOD_Calen directly. I know what MODs do and i appreciate every single selfless act, but when they start applying blames and start hating players,i think they need a little time out.
And i know how they should uphold the moral values of the game,as well as address any matters players have, i know that is suffocating and a bit too demanding, so i offer my answers,my knowledge of the game to leave them some room. I admit, i did answer 3-4 times wrong, and i apologized(to MOD_Calen, and to help chat) for what is only my own miss understanding of the game. I am sure some of the people that will read this thread will know what i am talking about, since i probably helped him/her.
I corrected myself and in return, MOD_Calen is shunting me from his guild, saying that he doesn't like me,because i gave wrong answers.
Are mods supposed to be mean to people,just because they offer help, as wrong as that help is?
Are mods supposed to hold grudges? Am i supposed to be afraid of MOD_Calen for as long as this game will run?

Again, i appreciate every single effort mods do for this game, And Mod_Calen,who helped a lot in help chat,but that does not mean that mods can do anything they want and hate everyone they want.
I admit, i did wrong when i said this in Global:" hands up who thinks calen should run for Grinch." and i deeply apologize,i was upset myself, since MOD_calen denied his guild to me and started saying mean things to me in whisper.
Also, MOD_calen threatened that i would get muted from forums and chat if i post this thread,but i don't care,as long as this message gets to the right people!

Thank you for reading,
The Funny G.!

Making fun of moderators is a very serious offence and you can get permanently banned for that. You're very lucky to still be here after you made fun of Calen. Forums are not the place for you to solve your personal problems. If you have any problems with moderators or feel that they're treating you unfairly, submit a support ticket here http://www.thesettlersonline.com/en/help-and-support.

At the end of the day you have to realise a mod is just like you a human being,in life we meet people we like and people we dislike,this game is no different.All of us try to be impartial but its not always easy,so many come into chat simply to wind others up by being stupid,and disrupt chat in any way they can,we have rules just like you that have to be stuck to,but few listen to a warning and end up being banned...

If you truly realised the role of the mod you would also appreciate the amount of stress that goes with the title,not only do we have to deal with players playing up in chat causing mayhem,but also the whispers we get which could more often than not be answered in global/help,the questions we get via mail,add to that the hate mail you have to deal with when you have banned a player for say 5 minutes for swearing/speaking in a foreign language.

What we dont need is someone like yourself asking in chat who in chat thinks MOD _Calen should run for Grinch,that in itself was nasty and uncalled for,just because you have bad dealings with a MOD or a player for that matter doesnt make it right what you did,it was inciting a flame war,and had more people actually been in chat when you typed that,it could have ended up in a free for all,which could have got you a ban from the game for X amount of time,no matter who banned which player that MOD would then be on someones "hate" list and being accused of hating players x,y and z.

You claim in your defence you were upset,is it not possible that we MODS get upset from time to time,we have a life as well remember,you also admit that you answered questions wrongly as well,sometimes its better if you dont know the full answer to simply say sorry Im not sure,that way they do know what they typed was read,and they werent ignored,very few of us know all the answers,so its better to leave it to those who do know than take a stab in the dark,Im asked many times in a day about adventures of which I know nothing about as Im not at that point in the game,so leave it to those to answer who can reply correctly.

This post shouldnt be posted on here Calen was right about that,any problems regarding MODS should go directly to BB,not be posted on the forums to start a hate campaign,he also has the right to accept or decline any member in his own guild.

If you have any grievenaces with anything I have typed in reply to you,please feel free to whisper me in game,as I am locking this thread to stop it going any further
