I would like to say, just leaning in here that the Mateus HUB and the RPM are two different beasts on the Mateus server. The Mateus HUB tends to get most people because they have an open door but no real "moderators", thus people tend to speak more freely-- Though there was a heated debate over someone not using careful wording and then some words stated (which I believe was quoted here) that I wanted to slap the guy upside the head for. I also told him to have more tact, but they snarled back.
Thankfully things cooled down and calm heads prevailed by the end of the day, but yes, words were spoken. Things got heated-- and in truth, things were not handed well on the HUB... But it also could have been far, far worse as well.
Now I make no excuses for them, as I said, I wasn't happy with the way it was handled, but that is my place to overrule, nor is it the location I control. They did the best they knew how to do and the person who runs it, bless her heart, is also dealing with being a new mom and handling a new born child.
Where I do have authority at is on the RPM and I have been working to point of nearly giving myself an ulcer (along with several of the moderator team), to quickly act as humanly possible to track down those who do want to destroy the friendly nature we are trying to build and also want to disrupt the relations between the RP community. BUT, we are limited to do the RPM and sometimes, even then, things slip because we don't have enough people on hand to catch everything time someone decides to start something.
We are having growing pains. There are old guards who are not happy. There is also, however, excitement as well and motivation for what is being done. Its a mix community over on this server between two different mindsets.
But we are TRYING and we are doing our damnest. I love Balmung, I loved Besaid. They are my homes, perhaps Besaid more so than Balmung, but I am not someone to ignore a community and we ask, please, just take things with a grain of salt, help build the community to the best of everyone's ability and while we work together, as a team, we will eventually get things settled out.
Its going to be bumpy. Its going to be rough at times, but by the end of the day...
It will be all worth it.
