Bull****. You think there's just some weird coincidence that problems ALWAYS happen when mods aren't on? We had Venven the other day just alting it up, and no mods even ADDRESSED it. No one even came in and said "oh, we are gonna allow it". Nope, they just watched, despite everyone being confused.
Vee is a mod in particular that is extremely active, but most of them are either not very active, or don't really do much.
No, before someone who we all know gets on me, I don't want people to be infracted about every little thing. But things get out of hand in threads, or people get clearly offended or someone breaks a rule, etc, and it seems nothing is ever done, or even addressed. No, we don't need to infract people for everything, but staff posting in threads and addressing issues more often would be really nice.
I hear every day "this is the best staff group ever!!" How come? The administration is good, yes, and the freedom to speak our minds is good, but it seems like this "best staff group ever" is strange, when things are not much different than if we had no staff at all. I do agree with
@Matt hugely that staff need to be more involved with moderating by posting, that would be a good start.
