That's exactly my point! You're expected to do an excellent job, be fair, and make consistent decisions that objective people could look at and say "yeah that was the right thing to do." All the while you also have to be courteous and stick to your decisions (not flip flop when challenged) and be an all around helpful and decent person (think of a good policeman).
It takes a lot of time, devotion, and work to do it right and you will never please 100% of the people. It's one of the hardest jobs
Some games pay moderators but their pay is low for the amount of crap they deal with every day. As a result of low pay and high crap, those moderators don't have motivation to do a great job (unless they the type of people passionate about this kind of stuff, which is rare). It's a vicious cycle!
I could never work customer service again. Too many idiots in the world
I've played Runescape for over 10 years in the past, and I've learned a heck of a lot about real life stuff as well as play a pretty nice game. Now it got out of hand with botting that I stopped playing because of it. I just hope things dont go south for FT as yes, it does have potential to grow...it's how it grows that's important.
I'd prefer it actually if all mod accounts were level 0. It would remove the thinking that mods have an advantage if they play the game (which they do)
