Whatever happened to...

I hate to reply but feel I must. No matter what you do people will never be satisfied. It's human nature to want, want, want and take, take take. Now I'm not dissing anyone on AO or other paintball forums but take for example the person that recieves his welfare check, he will complain and say that it is not enough. I see this all the time since I work in an area that deals with these types of reactions.
No matter what is done there will be no satisfaction. You can give things away to people and they will look you in the face and say, "that's it!!!" I came to this forum because it is one of the best. I'm happy and I don't mind it the way it is. Could it be better? Yes. Should we throw a hissy fit because it's not? NO. Let's just enjoy the ride it gives us.

WEW!!! This is supposed to be a fun place...right...right?

if youre implying that the mods be replaced i dont think that should happen. the mods are a part of AO and i dont want to see them leave. the mods are doing a good job (brownie points) and if you want a solution just get 1 or 2 new ones to ADD on not to replace.

yeah right and this thread was not started for the sole purpose of "look at me let me be a mod"

what the hell are you talking about?
ther are already alot of people that agree with me on this, im not saying remove any the mods we have are great, i think that we could use more

i by NO means am saying anyone should be one, im just stating that alot of people aling with me think that AO would benefit from the addition of a few more mods, thats it, dont read any further into it than that chief

It seemed like AO had been going downhill for quite a while, but recently it has seemed to improve. Maybe i'm just on at the wrong time to see things going wrong, but it seems the forums have been improving. Or maybe i'm just getting used to it.

i think thats it, i know exactly what you mean


and to the person who said we will never be happy, is there something wrong with wanting to improve the AO experience? can everyone be happy with the same thing?

i just remember alot of people thinking it was a good idea to add a few mods, and i agree and it seemed to get swept under the rug for some reason, all im asking is why? do people feel we dont need them? because i feel that they are needed, not because the mods we have now dont do a great job, but with 39,000 threads and 346,xxx posts i think its hard for 4 and sometimes 5 people to do all the work, first off it can stress the mods out, im sure some of them wouldnt mind a little lighter load, they all have lives of their own to run

Triad, extremely bad misunderstanding on my part, I just ment for the people who want to come to AO to flame mags, or just to stir up trouble. I'm sorry for the misunderstanding.

And BT I agree keep the mods we have now, maybe add 1-3 more because AO is growing daily.

It is said that humans are never satisfied, that you give them one thing and they want something more. This is said with negative connotation, whereas it is one of the greatest talents the species has and one that has made it superior to animals that are satisfied with what they have. Enough said about that.

I agree. There are way too many people (I won't say any names) who come on here for the sole purpose to diss mags ... through and through. In my humble opinion I think more mods need to be brought to AO in order to police the number of people who get to post such things or restrict them from posting at all.

You know your opinions on what should be here and not is your opinion. Just because we disagree on what to leave or not does not mean a judgement has not been passed or no moderating has occured. You may not agree with if but thats our call to make. Army makes a valid point that a lot of our work is done privately and you will not ever now how large that is. Daily I get reported post that have no validity and some that do. Everyone seems to moderate from his own perspective. We try to be lenient as we can while still keeping things under control. We will never agree on every call. It's easy to arm chair Quarter back! A few of you are a bit overzealous with the control hard arse aproach I think. Relax and read what you want or ignore it. No ones making you nit pick every single thread. Moderation means just what it sounds like "Moderate". Too much of it makes for not a fun place, too little, the same. So we MODERATE that...
