Is this a joke or something?

Honestly, I agree with the part about giving Head Moderator more responsibility. When I had it around the first time Swirlie had left and a few others were first stepping into the position, it was very difficult to get anything accross because of the fact that 1. it was a time where nobody saw anyone else as the Head Moderator before and 2. the rank wasn't looked at as one with great trust and it was as you said just a title. It was also very easy to establish everything like you mentioned because of the fact that most of the staff were experienced and already knew what they were doing.

Looking back, I feel like a lot of the Head Moderators who had the opportunity to become Administrator struggled with the role because they didn't have the proper training needed to perform all of the tasks and because they felt like they were being a burden to the current administration because they would have to constantly ask questions. I like your idea of having the Head Moderator take notes during their time as Head Moderator because I feel like that would elimate the constant questioning stage.

Hey Chase, I know I'm a bit late to this post but that's because I don't check the forums that much. I just wanted to say congratulations for coming out with this information. It takes a lot of courage to bring a topic like this to light, especially because I've seen the hardships that you have gone through within this community. I know we don't talk too much anymore, but I hope things have gotten better for you in the recent months. I remember first meeting you in 2017 and feeling grateful for the fact that somebody took the time out of their day to help me out when I needed it. Those times still remain close to me, and I still think of you the same way, no matter the circumstances.

I think this is a good idea because not only does it allow the issues present to be more manageable, it'll bring more users onto the DSGHQ sites to communicate with each other on a larger scale. I also think it's going to make the rules be followed more, as things will be more monitored.

Even though I'm not active in the community anymore, I'd like to be in this.

I didn't even see this as impersonation. I quit months ago.

I think it was just a lighthearted joke. Sled is a very nice person, and I doubt she'd do anything to be rude to anybody for no reason. Also I hate to break it to you, but I think you didn't get the reaction you wanted because some people didn't favor you as an Administrator. I'm not saying that to be rude; I'm just using what I've collected from my former time on the staff team to aid a point I'm trying to make. Anyways, welcome back it's great to see you again.

I know I only go on the oldcp discord but it would be fun to have political parties on oldcp and have like an oldcp election every 4 months or something ???‍♀️

Honestly, President would be a lot of fun to see again since the game isn't as serious as it used to be.

Good luck!

How would that work though? Wouldn't the candy corn rot and/or have a weird taste upon eating it? Let's just pretend it didn't rot or if it did, it was not very noticeable, wouldn't the candy corn eventually run out and there would be none left?

You have all of your ducks lined up in a row, but there's a bigger picture here that isn't being seen. I think that you have provided an exceptional idea, but there are a few barriers that are going to hinder the entire process.


Giving someone Warden of Database for OldCP requires a lot of thought and trust being instilled in a possible candidate. These are two things that aren't really given out too much within the community. Sure people have high ranks, but they are given little to no authority. The people calling the shots have been here for years and they continue to provide the leadership this game has. It may not be the best, but we're more focused on profiles and not who does the work and who actually wants the job. It'd be nice to have someone who is trusted and is willing to put forth time for the community to receive the position. I believe that we need to have a bit more faith in the right people if we want things to change around here. Sure giving someone new a chance isn't easy, but all of the old methods are simply not working. Everyone had to earn trust at some point.

Simple PSA to everyone: If you want the game to die, just stop playing it. Playing the game and coming on here to complain is just giving this game more attention. We all say how bad the game is and what's wrong with it, we've been doing the same song and dance for years. Nothing is changing, so if nobody is satisfied I honestly just recommend going somewhere else and continuing to talk to your friends on another platform. I understand the passion for trying to fix the community, but there's no point when it feels like your words are falling on deaf ears.

Upon reading your reasonings for quitting OldCP, I saw a lot of myself in your reasonings. I had left the community for most, if not all of the reasonings you have provided. Although 2018 and 2019 were not too long ago, they feel like they're a lifetime behind us. So much has changed in just two years that it's scary when you think about it. I couldn't have worded anything you have put into this post any better. I think that you hit all of the nails on the head with this one. I know we don't talk too much, but if you ever need someone to talk to about anything don't hesistate to contact me.

why do people get deleted instead of trialed or put on BOS/KOS/AOS?

It wasn't even in South. Nothing about this makes sense.
Right, because it was on Dorval. But knowing Damen, he gets upset when people die for no reason. Still, I think it's wrong to out right delete peoples accounts. If you are upset that the Dorval leader is allowing murder on their land then shouldn't they be warred, and shouldn't the murderer be BOS/AOS/KOS/Trialed in the South? Has it really come down with "I don't want to deal with you, I'm just deleting your account because of your actions" ?

You hit the nail right on the head with that last sentence.
