I will let all of you judge, i know it's just a game and all but to me the only way to describe this is extortion.
Sorry jurgs, i know a lot of your actions and deeds on dice have been great for the site however my only reaction to this is

Jurgen -mod

extortion: 1. The act or an instance of extorting
2. Abuse of one's official position or powers to obtain property, funds, patronage or favour.

All mods should be enforcing the rules and the integrity of the game at all times on an equal scale. To say that Jurgz or any mod for that matter is needed over another goes to show that there are problems with the system.

All mods should be enforcing the rules but they have families and are not getting paid for what they do. They get no appreciation. I did not say that jurgen is more important than other mods, merely that recently he has been more active.

Moral of the story: You can't please everyone.


I'll concede that Jurgen shouldn't use "mod humor" in a game with another player unless he's absolutely certain they know he's joking. I wasn't there and I don't know derya, so I can't speak on that subject.

Mrs. M, I don't think anyone was dismissing Matt's screenshot here. We were dismissing the fact that the screenshot didn't prove anything and the conversation was lacking context without additional screenshots.

Being a moderator and trying to play KDice is difficult at best. People treat you differently, both bad and good. Some people won't attack you, some people will PGE you for no good reason. You constantly get interrupted during playing getting asked to "look into this" or "why did you do that". It truly is a thankless job that isn't particularly fun.

When there were no mods people here complained that we needed a mod. When we got one mod people complained that we needed more mods. When we got more mods people complained that we needed a wider variety of mods. Now someone wants "rotating mods". It never, ever, ever ends...

Jurgen currently takes the most heat because he is doing the bulk of the bans. That's how it will always be.

I do not understand what 'getting paid to be a mod, or having families' has to do with keeping the integrity of the game intact. If a mod has RL things to deal with and it is effecting the way they mod, then maybe they should not being doing it....

Forget the 'rotating mod' comment please...

Wwhy is that 'That's how it will always be'....?

Also, I understand the issues a mod faces when actually modding; it can be tough -I get it. But understand, that is your job on this site.

The mods of the site are volunteers and the players should be thankful they are willing to give their time to the site with no compensation whatsoever. The mods are extremely underappreciated. The only way I see RL things interfering with their modding is by a lack of time.

So, vIRGI, I assume you would be perfectly fair in every situation and always know the exact solution to every problem? I also assume you believe the rules are perfectly black and white and not open to any interpretation of any kind, right?
