catfishing is a major problem, and DOES need to be spoken of, hence the fact that elements of the activity could be covered by different parts of the law. for example, someone using a fake profile to post offensive messages designed to humiliate could face criminal action, which in a way fits in to the same category as bullying.
just because catfishing is a 'hot topic' right now does not mean that other issues throughout the community are being disregarded. if you have an issue with bullying or 'toxic players' i'm sure staff would be more than happy to solve your concerns.
no need to have an attitude about it

Hey! I agree with you when those people that catfish use there fake identities to do bad things ( be offence ect. ) but in these cases that I'm hearing about so often it has little to nothing to do with it. In the case of Sadie/Scott that I'm hearing so much about and that people love to talk about there was nobody harmed and no damage done ( which that is the case that sparked this all ). Also, there was no attitude shown throughout this post, those are just my opinions. The way you interpret it is beyond my control, thank you for sharing your thoughts!

I completely agree with you, even though I believe that this community was much more toxic years ago (especially due to drama). Indeed, a lot of criticism has been directed towards the Staff and I feel personally offended sometimes. I've worked hard during 6 years until I became a Moderator on Forums and on OldCP, however, some users despise all that effort in a few seconds.
Although feedback is welcome, lately, the criticism hasn't been very constructive. I notice that by the suggestions because people rarely suggest practical measures to be taken. When they do, all they say is "demote the inactive mods", "make them moderate more closely", but these are only vague suggestions and they won't help us at all. Also, they easily make generalizations out of incomplete observations, many said "I have never seen x moderating" and that instantly becomes a judgement.
Honestly, this is a very recent situation and I don't understand how we got here. A few months or even weeks ago this wasn't happening like now, but I still hope people understand our side.
Thank you for writing this post, Dancebear, this is an excellent example of empathy and of our community values. Thank you for this.

Although I feel bad b/c nobody deserves to be hated on, but this is your job and a plus is helping people but on the downside you are obviously going to face criticism. Just like in a government you may not like the people in charge and that's okay, but at the end of the day you signed up for this job so take it or leave it.

To be honest, there is a difference between being "fake" and being respectful. I may not like someone and I might make that VERY clear but when they talk to me I could act very nice. Why? Because it's called respect for other human beings, and I hate how people call it fake. Fake is completely becoming friends with someone with hopes of getting some sort of personal gain ( which that is not something I would do ) . But I will not hide the fact that I say I don't like others but I will always treat everyone with the same respect they give me. If I don't like someone but they are kind to me, I will be kind to them. If I like someone and they are mean to me ill be mean to them. Its what goes around come around, so in this case I don't feel like that's toxic. I have never seen actual FAKE people on this site other than one friend I used to have. But I will say I've seen a lot of people do the same thing that I do. And from the outside looking in it seems off but at the end of the day why are we gonna hate on people being nice and respectful to others EVEN if they don't like them?


And also you have to realize the people on this game are TEENAGERS there is gonna be gossip,trash talking,and you name it, if you can't take the heat get out of the kitchen.


( PS: I do not condone bullying or tash talking these are just facts and personal thoughts but it does depend on the situation, I do agree with points made in this post . )

I totally agree about the outcome of GOM almost always the winner has nothing to do with how well they completed the tasks but only on the bias of Damen that's why the same people win over and over and over again and at some point it becomes terrible painful to watch. But on the flipside GOM is still hella fun maybe instead of competing for a mod which Damen already chose before the games even started and waste our time, we can compete for gold or a different lesser rank? But I still the moderator rank is still needed just not so many. I think 7 SOLID moderators would be good ( 2 of them must not be from the US due to time zones ). Also I agree with some of your remarks about the moderators some of them straight up just are childish. When you are a mod you have an added amount of responsibility meaning you have to step up your game and handle situations more logically but I'm seeing time and time again the mods act with bias and emotions. They think of situations how it makes them feel emotionally and not the straight up facts. If mods are angry at someone previously they just ban, but if its someone they like they are less likely to ban. I used to be friends with a lot of the mods during the time when Ariana was a moderator and I can tell you I said a lot of iffy stuff and did not get banned b/c they were my friends ( not complaining tho ).

I think siddy is the cutest

Negus will win again! ( Post coming soon! )

not denying this at all other than the banishment of the word simp. you're right, activity is a struggle and and people miss a lot of things. I'm pushing the mod team to do more now and if they can't handle it then that will be a problem.
simp is banned because of the meaning of the word and the way it's been used ingame.

Its not activity most of the mods are pretty active after school was canceled b/c of corona so currently atm that isnt an issue. It's simply just the mods being obsessed with cz to the point were they forget why they are mod in the first place I think the mod who is good at balancing both is Loki, but others like SG are literally ONLY there for cz. Cpbiter is a great mod who does his job along with Hamil, Joseph, Rouge. That is only 5 mods out of all the staff that we have and that's not okay.
