Deddly Posted June 4, 2022 Share Posted June 4, 2022 @SkyFall2489, moderators only enforce the forum rules, and none of the rules would be broken by such a thread, as far as I can tell. But just like there is no forum rule against forking and making your own version of a mod or bundling it into a mod pack (license permitting), that doesn't automatically mean it will be well received by some individuals. I don't have any insight into how people feel about this particular issue, but whatever the case, we don't enforce gentleman's agreements or forum etiquette.

kerbiloid Posted June 4, 2022 Share Posted June 4, 2022 In case of documenttion/help there is a risk that it will make erroneous statements, which will be making the mod authors react on questions and complaints. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Then I would see no issue with you starting the thread. You are not taking over the mod, you are simply creating a suplemental designed to help the average user overcome problems that they may encounter. A lot of modders lose passion for their creations over an extended time, and no longer feel like answering questions when people ask. I believe you should be appreciated if you are willing to put in the effort. It is of no threat to the modder and can only improve peoples reaction to it. I keep up with various threads and see question after question that are never answered by the author. So your thread would be a boon. It is in fact one of the core reasons for the forum to exist at all, that of the sharing of knowledge to help out fellow players, so that we may all get the best experince and promote a kind and caring community that we can hold up as an example of how the world should be. (Just make it clear that you are in no way anything to do with the creation of the mod, just another user sharing the insights you have gained over time.)

Vanamonde Posted June 11, 2022 Share Posted June 11, 2022 When we need people we sometimes invite them and sometimes call for applications. Candidates need to be good written communicators, helpful around the forum, and have a pretty clean record as far as warns and stuff.

StrandedonEarth Posted June 25, 2022 Share Posted June 25, 2022 I'm noticing that "The Daily Kerbal" subforum isn't getting much love lately. Does whoever wears the "Community Manager" cap these days need a kick in the SAS a friendly reminder or is KSP so mature that The Daily Kerbal should be deprecated?

We are unpaid volunteers, have day jobs, and don't have unlimited time to devote to moderating. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Misguided Kerbal Posted July 13, 2022 Share Posted July 13, 2022 What are warning points exactly, and what do they do? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Vanamonde Posted July 13, 2022 Share Posted July 13, 2022 6 hours ago, Misguided Kerbal said: What are warning points exactly, and what do they do? They're a way for us to indicate how severe we deem an offense to be. A mild infraction will usually have zero points. If the person keeps it up we may give 3 points, or 5. The points expire after a while but if a person has 5 active points, that person's posts then must have moderator approval before they are posted. If a person gets up to 10 active points, the account cannot post at all for a while. If you manage to reach 25 active points you are permanently banned, but that almost never happens.
