I'm very frustruated. It seems like the moderators of the MapleStory section are being bribed or something, I'm serious. Here are two examples:
1. @s4nta, a developer, opened a thread for his MapleStory source code release. Yes, the source code was not completed but it was good enough for now, as there are no high-version public sources available out there other than his. Everything was fine, and then I saw @Apparition (ExtremeDevilz) asking the moderators to remove the thread as it's a "troll" thread for some reason in his reply. Unsurprisingly, the thread was removed after 10 minutes by @Kreeate, the supervisor of the section. It seems like both of them has some weird, hidden relationship or something? This is definitely not the first time we're witnessed to such thing between these two. Not to mention the thread was closed without any notice, or without stating the reason of the closure.
2. I opened a discussion at the main section. The thread's name was "/f425 Improvement". I expliclity stated that the thread's purpose is to throw out suggestions so the section can improve and not intentionally mocking moderators, or anything like that. I also stated that there is no rule against such thing, and kindly asked that the thread would be kept and not removed. Moreover, I even stated my own opinion there and some suggestions to improve the forums (where else would I do it? I wanted the whole community of the MapleStory section to contribute to it and participate). Guess what? The thread was removed after about an half-hour.
And the big question is - why? It feels like the moderators are against us, we shouldn't be feared of them, what's going on? Can't we express our opinions anymore? Our only goal is to improve the forums we are using, so what's wrong with that?
I would like all of the moderators of the MapleStory section to shed some light on this. @retep998, @kevintjuh93 and @Kreeate.
Best regards.
EDIT: I just received a Private Message from @Kreeate stating why my thread was removed. Comes to his defense, he thought the thread was made so the users can point out who's a good or a bad moderator. I explicity stated the following (quote):
I stated, 'in general and not specifically', meaning I wanted the users to express their opinions about moderation in general; how to keep the section clean from spammers or flamers, how to improve the activity, etcetera.
EDIT 2: @Kreeate still thinks that my intention was to express opinion about the moderators. That's simply not true. I wanted users to express their opinions about the section so it can improve, that's all.
