can you explain these?

ZaxosaurToday at 3:45 PM
Y'all chose me to represent the community since I am part of the community
I'm just as displeased with MCG as everyone else

GalaxyToday at 3:45 PM
we brought you on so that there is fair input from the community with how we handle things
I havent seen you express your displeasure for how things are going
but here it is very clear outside

ZaxosaurToday at 3:46 PM
I have in vc

GalaxyToday at 3:46 PM
I wasnt there so I missed it
have you spoken to silenceh about any of it?

ZaxosaurToday at 3:46 PM
No

GalaxyToday at 3:47 PM
hes the one in charge of managing MCG
so if you do have complaints please share with him so that we can get them covered
like, I suggested you to be a mod cause I know youve been posting in mcg for months and we've memed back n forth
you seem like a good guy from what ive seen
we dont want our own guys to be talking shit about us behind our backs

ZaxosaurToday at 3:48 PM
Isn't silenceh in that discord

GalaxyToday at 3:48 PM
Im not sure
we want to repair the damage with the NA scene because its been blown way out of proportion
bunny and clow have gotten all the hate cause initially they were the only ones doing shit
now they are easing up as they shift their focus again to growing MA
so im left here wondering are you with us? or are you just for the memes

ZaxosaurToday at 3:50 PM
I'm here purely to represent the community's interests
So not here for the memes but probably not as with y'all as yall would like
I don't think y'all realize exactly how salty the na community is rn

GalaxyToday at 3:51 PM
we're aware

ZaxosaurToday at 3:51 PM
I'm one of the more optimistic ones

GalaxyToday at 3:51 PM
can you share your perspective though? is it because of bunny?

ZaxosaurToday at 3:51 PM
Yet look at the screenshots

GalaxyToday at 3:52 PM
most of these people have been talking shit about us since we were MGA

ZaxosaurToday at 3:52 PM
tbh bunny is like 90% of the community's complaints from what I've heard
Like
Here's the thing
Venatus gets shit bc of MGA and bc the NA stuff (in mordhau) was sloppily run
MCG right now gets shit bc there's no point in being there
Well actually venatus probably gets hate for even more reasons than that but I don't know them
I've literally had people DM me questions instead of ask them in MCG bc they would get muted for asking
That's insane
MCG went from a place for comp players to hang out and etc kind of like a public forum, to really only being there to ping @scrimna and @pugna
Except pugs have been dead until very recently
And people rarely respond to scrimna
Much better chance of getting a scrim if you DM people
So really recently the only reason to be in MCG is 1) to get venatus news 2) to shitpost
2) started to get out of hand a bit
But it was dealt with somewhat reasonably in the past
But now there's a lot of salt over how easy it is to be muted and how you can't really question authority at all
At the end of the day
There's basically zero reason for NA to use MCG anymore
There's little reason for the other regions as well
EU has melee slasher
OCE has foppish gaming and a separate comp discord
AFAIK Asia doesn't even use discord to organize, they have clan discords and organize through DMs
That's why NA started making these resistance discords
None of them are good
The current main one was made by puppets so
Lol
It's barely used
But a decent amount of us are in there anyway just in case there is some kind of competition there or etc we could partake in
That being said he's fucking insane for the shit he's trying to do to bunny and venatus
And he's supposedly stepped down from staff there but that's bullshit imo lol
So right now NA is just a bunch of disgruntled clannies who're talking to each other now through clan discords and these meme discords like the church of ronguatism
bc the way mcg is currently headed, it'll just slowly lose inactivity
People will stay there, look for scrims and pugs, read announcements
But it won't actually be a community hub if that makes sense
Now
I'm just one guy

GalaxyToday at 4:00 PM
Yeah I see what youre saying

ZaxosaurToday at 4:00 PM
Y'all need to ask other people how they feel
But tldr there's not much reason to use mcg anymore
And to be fair, I'm starting to drift away from mord anyway, so I've slowly stopped giving a frickfrack anyway
But that's basically the situation as I see it
I understand if y'all choose to demod me, since I see how it looks bad if a mod isn't happy with MCG and is vocal about it, but you had to expect this when you got community moderators

GalaxyToday at 4:02 PM
we knew it was a possibility
im a bit disappointed you didnt at least come to me first or anything before shitposting about us like that
but I do appreciate you sharing your perspective above and I agree with a lot of it
id much rather have you share these things with us so we can improve then have ot said beind our back where we are in the dark
cause we want to improve and we want the NA community to be happy
but it seems like nothing we do is good enough for them

ZaxosaurToday at 4:04 PM
I thought y'all were aware but you weren't as aware as i'd thought, and sharing my thoughts with staff feels kinda pointless ngl, but I'm not sure why it feels pointless
I don't have a solution for you if I did i'd tell you

GalaxyToday at 4:04 PM
bunny has shut down a lot of dissent but thats easing up now
if anyone has concerns of over moderation, you can tell them not to be worried

ZaxosaurToday at 4:05 PM
I will say that I've personally heard a LOT of complaining about bunny from other players and I bet if you ask around a lot of people will be pissed at him
Probably for various reasons
Some more or less valid than others

GalaxyToday at 4:05 PM
yes  I agree
we've already talked with him about focusing more on MA
he was never supposed to be this involved with moderating
its just that the team we had was doing nothing
but thats been fixed now hence the pivot of his focus
I guess ill ask do you want to keep moderating? You dont have to if you dont want to
we wont remove you for this one transgression but if it is a consistent thing we'll have to

ZaxosaurToday at 4:06 PM
Well last night people were complaining to me about him bc he was muting people in a way that they felt was unjust
Well actually the people muted didn't contact me at all
But people who were just lurking or barely talking DMed me like "wtf"

GalaxyToday at 4:07 PM
there were some people he muted last night he shouldnt have

ZaxosaurToday at 4:08 PM
I've always had the standpoint that I can't and won't enforce things I don't think need to be enforced, but this also means I allow a lot of stuff slide that others wouldn't and when people air their grievances to me I have to hit them with the "I largely agree and will be bringing this up in internal discussions" but then nothing changes and they're like "wtf bro"
So I need to do a quick think but I think I'm gonna come to the conclusion it's best if I'm NOT a moderator
There will probably be a very small scale shitstorm but only a very small scale one bc most people have stopped caring tbh
Maybe a couple people will be like :pepehands:
That's it
And I'll tell them no I voluntarily stepped down
I was in no way forced to

GalaxyToday at 4:10 PM
all you have to say there is "each mod has their own style of moderating, if you have an issue with a mod please discuss it with an admin"

ZaxosaurToday at 4:10 PM
Their problem is usually not with a mod

GalaxyToday at 4:10 PM
its bunny huh lol

ZaxosaurToday at 4:10 PM
Usually lol

GalaxyToday at 4:10 PM
yeah

ZaxosaurToday at 4:11 PM
It used to be silenceh but people realize now silenceh really wasn't bad at all

GalaxyToday at 4:11 PM
now that its been a week since our changes, things seem much more calm since the initial change
well one thing ive noticed too is people seem to be entitled to the ability to say whatever the fuck they want in mcg
all we've really asked is for people to be generally respectful and leave any controversial or edgy things for their own communities
yet the common offenders have continued to push back and test our boundaries
then act surprised and upset when they get punished
its very hypocritical coming from these people
but any concerns with bunny can be squashed cause hes moving away from MCG now
he was never the new MCG guy or whatever the fuck people think
when it comes to you being mod, theres no problem with you being more lax about things than others
there are other people who have a laid back style, me included
and you are more than welcome to share these view points cause its extremely valuable
if you want to step down thats fine, but you dont have to

ZaxosaurToday at 4:14 PM
I'll do some thonking about the situation
I'd advise you get some different perspectives than me bc I definitely have a different pov than other prominent community members

GalaxyToday at 4:14 PM
any suggestions on where to start?

ZaxosaurToday at 4:14 PM
hm
I'm tryna think of someone who will actually try and help and not just call you a ronguat
Maybe nathook? But actually he's not very active in mordhau anymore

GalaxyToday at 4:16 PM
ill talk around and see what I can do

ZaxosaurToday at 4:16 PM
Maybe trails is a good start

GalaxyToday at 4:16 PM
might even make a little survey to pass around so we can collect feedback
cause we really are tired of all this fucking drama man

ZaxosaurToday at 4:16 PM
inb4 "remove bunny as admin" pt 2 lmao
When that got passed around the rioters were like WHO THE FUCK VOTED NO????
(it was me lmao)

GalaxyToday at 4:17 PM
:joy: im ready for the gamer words
honestly he shouldnt have gotten so upset over that
it is what it is
anyway zax I thank you for your help mate
your my favorite lizzerr

ZaxosaurToday at 4:17 PM
No problem
