Mini-Modding

In the same way that complimenting someone of the opposite gender is OBVIOUSLY just an attempt to get laid

Is that not how you get laid

It depends on how proud you are of your fedora collection.

In all seriousness, the intention of that similie was the entirely false assumption of causation. You can compliment people just to compliment people, but people seem to falsely believe the motivations to be less than suitable.

Kaylie | Holidays xD I know I seem really hypocritical right now Kaylie, but my opinion has changed. I honestly think mini-modding does help a lot now, and it takes tons of stress off of moderator's backs.

What was embarrassing about it? I was just showing how great a community member is doing and all the good he is doing for the server.

Always disliked the term "mini-modding".

I personally don't see a problem with someone wanting to help out the community/staff by enforcing rules and whatnot. It's only improving things around here rather than making things worse for everyone. It's actually quite sad to see people who try to help out get hate for it.

I think "mini-mods" are just trying to help and that's great, people should respect their helpfulness towards the server.

But..there are some people who "mini-mod" all the time just to get mod, and it's usually the case that they don't want to help the community, they just want a free rank. (Plus it helps with hackers I guess.)

And this is why, we need a Helper Rank, but enough of that, that is a topic for another time.

As for mini-modding, technically mini-modding is not what helping others out is. Mini-Modding is pretending to be a mod when you clearly aren't, and pretending to have that authority over someone else just because you're telling them the rules isn't right, now, I don't see that happen very much, but apparently it happens, so I'd like to address that.

For the people calling out others for being "tryhards", the point of moderators is to help out, I feel that there is an alienation between players and staff, that moderators are too big of a jump and so when a moderator steps in, the stage goes quiet and everyone holds back, I know that MCGamer has been trying to combat that (e.g. Ban Lists, Patch Notes, Announcements, and removing age requirements) but the community is creating a barrier that makes it seem like normal people can't do anything to help out, when really, it should be everyone pitching in, because that is what makes a community, some people just want it more than others, so they become a mod, some people don't want that commitment, which is another barrier which I will talk about another time, but they just want to help out anyways.

'Mini-Modding' call outs shouldn't be a thing, because for us to be a community, we all need to pitch in.

you should have seen the uproar when the clan rules were changed. No one was quiet in that...that was some great banter.
