Hey guys, just thought I'd share some information with you all, for those who don't know.
Moderators (otherwise seen in chat as MOD_) are member of the community like me or you, started playing the game as a bit of fun. Here in the forums there was a post asking for applications for moderators, these people applied and were successful. They are donating their free time, free game time, to have the extra headache of moderating chat in-game and in forums. They are there as a support to the developer team who cannot afford the extra man hours this would take to employ someone to do. So moderators are doing this for FREE, they don't get special abilities or rewards, and they do not get paid.
Please treat them with respect, do not expect.
Moderators have duties to fulfill, they may not know the answer to everything, and may not always reply. But they are doing their best. They receive instructions from the BlueByte/Ubisoft team that they must fulfill.
The "Help" channel on in-game chat is not a MOD_ support channel, if moderators are there they will try and support you with your issues as best they can, like every other game player who frequents that channel.
Remember, MOD_ were community players at the start, so we all are moderators in a way, its just they wield the might ban weapons of choice!
