ADAM, PLEASE DO NOT LOOK AT THIS SPOILER. But everyone else can. Sorry Adam :/ it's for your own good
Spoiler:
Okay okay, I know Mods haven't been confirmed yet. But if they're added, Adam should really be one!
If you know Adam, then I don't need to explain why.
But if you don't... Adam, AKA Azkkad, has been playing SuperMechs for three years now. He/ she's seen the good days of chat, and knows what it should be like. Adam is one of the nicest guys/ gals SuperMechs has ever had (okay, maybe maybe not), and he/ she really knows what's right and what's wrong in the SM Chat. He/she's always done everything he/she could to improve chat, and making him/her a moderator would let him/her do just that. Adam is one of a very small amount of people (besides admins here) who is experienced enough and is capable of making the online chat fun and nice to hang out in. So yeah, there's your explanation.
Adam if you read this I'm sorry The draft was too tempting to not post
If this post is breaking rules or something I don't care. It needs to be said for all to see.

Well I'm really tempted to open that spoiler... But I trust you Zoey, so I won't do it. Although I do have a pretty good idea what it's about... faith restored

Instead of doing... that (no spoilers for Adam)
Why don't we clean up the chat in general? A quick fix to this is making a clan requirement chat, for people who need more members in their clan.
Another thing is to hire chat mods, with capabilities of the following ~ 1. Chat Banning (For a preset time, maybe, 10 minutes for the first time) This is used for people who aren't speaking the correct language in a chat, and are spamming. 2. Chat Muting (For a preset time as well, but instead of speaking the wrong language they were just be obnoxious). 3. Chat Redirecting (For a preset time) The moderator can move anyone to a different chat. 4. Spam Warning (For Spammers of any kind) The moderator can give out spam warnings. Too many warnings means banned from any chat for a day or so.

Sorry, but if we do add mods at some point, we won't add mods simply because they're requested/voted on.
We don't do so for the forum mods, for the BD World Admins and certainly wouldn't do so for SM Game Mods/Admins.
The reason is that being popular doesn't mean you're good... Staff has to make difficult decisions, it's not a popularity contest. We hire people (for any position) who have proven to be reliable and have proven to work - to us. And who of course fit the job in question.

I absolutely agree with this. Even if mods are added, there's no way I should be one. Whether I'm worthy or not, it would cause an outrage with other players and cause a massive series of others wanting to become mods. It would be a really bad scenario.
Oh, and I knew what this post was about right when I saw the title. Kind of a dead giveaway, don't you think? xD
