Val Posted February 10, 2020 Share Posted February 10, 2020 I was a regular member and was told I got picked as moderator because my responses were helpful and polite. (Of course that all changed after I got to be moderatar. MUAHAHAHAHAH) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
adsii1970 Posted February 10, 2020 Share Posted February 10, 2020 5 hours ago, Arco123 said: How did this forum get to this stage. (Grow) Good question. It's because since the early days of the forum, the very beginning of the forum was to be supportive of those who play Kerbal Space Program. Sal once told me that he preferred it this way because this game has a steep learning curve. And he had the vision this forum needed to be there to help people get the most out of the game. Since then, this forum has been described as a "giant hug box" and this, I believe, has fed the expansion of the forum. You'll still find people coming here to get advice and answers on how to get stuff into orbit or how to get it back down - and everything in between. There are also those who may no longer play the game yet still come here because of friendships developed over the years (I've been here since 2012). Again, this isn't surprising because of the supportive nature of the forum. I just hope the forum will continue to live up to the dreams and hopes of Sal and Harvester. 6 hours ago, Arco123 said: And, (Slightly off topic.) how did you guys become mods?

Yes, seriously, I was a forum member for about seven years before I became a moderator. And I am thankful for having the honor. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I don't think he'd be allowed to change his name again. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Deddly Posted February 11, 2020 Share Posted February 11, 2020 I set up a bot to help with moderating the IRC channel, and @sal_vager said to me "Why haven't I made you a moderator already?" After the team reviewed my activity here on the forum, @KasperVld sent me an official invitation (also through IRC). Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Geonovast Posted March 5, 2020 Share Posted March 5, 2020 49 minutes ago, VoidSquid said: Question: do PMs have to follow the forum rules or not? Yes. And you can report private messages just like posts. If you have a problem with a private message, just go ahead and report it like you would a thread or post.

VoidSquid Posted March 5, 2020 Share Posted March 5, 2020 Just now, Geonovast said: Yes. And you can report private messages just like posts. Oh... It was more about sending PMs not following the official forum rules, in particular regarding "political correctness", things you prefer to discuss face-to-face, not to face an outrage of the oh-so-holier-than-tough.
