would it help if you didnt accuse them of abusing their position?
Would it help the revenues of this site overall if the moderators would refrain from clearly abusing their positions?
Personally, I don't care one way or another; I chalk up the pettiness of the moderators here to being part of the nature of a rinky-dink, unprofessional little Mickey-Mouse game site. But still, how many people have seen this thread so far? I wonder how it has affected their decisions as to whether to pay the premium or not.
Food for thought.
EDIT:
On a more positive note, perhaps a solution to this serious moderator pettiness and abuse issue would be to give them slightly more money (if they receive any -- that I do not know), and slightly less power.
One good example would be to allow members to ban them from joining their games, but still allow them to send official (non-harassing) PM's. I know that the "non-harassing" part of that last suggestion will be hard for Wicked to swallow, but still, it has become necessary, unfortunately.
Also, if these petty moderators are to be given more money, then of course the premiums will have to go up, but I think that will be worth its benefits, as people who are happy in their own lives generally don't go out of their way to abuse the miniscule amount of authority that they have been given just to hurt other innocent people.
