Staff Feedback Thread

[Lythrilux]

Meph just seemed like he was levelling with Lambda. I don't see any toxic or ill-natured intent. Those screenshots also miss the thirty minutes or so before when Nyx was just flaming around and Meph already warned to mute (gave me a warning too).

Otherwise, looks like these images are being doctored to put Meph in a bad light. Meph has been pretty pro-active as a mod and has been more or less reacting to things raised in a Staff meeting. I think people are surprised that they can't get away with behaving badly anymore.

How can images showing the blatant hostile remarks to Lambda be doctored, go ahead, go look in the Lore Discussion channel to see if Lambda did anything wrong, he didn't defend himself, just wanted an answer to his question. It is not a Moderator's job to "level with" anyone, so your argument is null and void. Your opinion does not matter because we're talking about something that universally applies to staff members, the rules, that Mep broke, but forced on other people. You'd never see squig doing sh*t like that.

Remove your boner for Nyx and the fact she was in that conversation at all from the argument, and you're still left with Lambda getting harassed for a question by a member of staff, and as I said before, sitting there and taking the abuse just so he could get an answer to his question. That's unacceptable, and whether he was in the right channel for that or not doesn't apply to how Mep behaved.

I will bring up Squig's name again, he is an example of a good staff member in general, even if just a discord moderator, he doesn't tell people how to behave, he shows people how to behave through his own behavior, if you behave the way Mep did, the problem will only reciprocate endlessly as it currently does. Staff members act as if they shouldn't be held to any standards and aren't, when in fact, they are held to higher standards than regular players, because if you behave just as bad, if not worse than players. You get people like Godslayer breaking them intentionally without reason leading to more work which will also inspire others to do the exact same thing since the rules being forced upon them aren't equally applied leading to situations of felt oppression.

I really do not think that those are blatantly hostile remarks to Lambda especially when Meph was trying to assist him with his query. To call them abuse trivialises the real instances of abuse that have in recent months spiked on Discord - that Meph has actually been pro-active in clamping down on.
