Why are so many staff members so inactive?

[Sheep]

I didn't mean to be harsh and am glad this thread wasn't taken badly! [: To be honest I expected to be chewed out a little hahaha.. but I've been trying to be more open about things.

I definitely understand there's more to staff than posting and you have other things to work on behind closed curtains but forum staff (such as moderators and possibly super moderators to an extent?) usually focus on forum engagement and moderation as their primary responsibility. But that's going off of my personal experiences with forums and how ranks tend to be handled.

Thank you again for the responses! I'm really glad everyone is so accepting of feedback.

Haha, I'm glad you weren't chewed up and spat out either. XD That'd be pretty rude on our part. And, I mean, there have been plenty of times when I've disappeared so I think you're totally entitled to bring it up! Right now we're going through a bit of a cleanup, which includes 'hiring' more moderators! 8D So that will help with this issue too.

You're totally right! I think that a moderator's duty is not just one thing or another, but the obvious areas certainly shouldn't be neglected. :)

Feedback is always welcome. It's much better for people to ask these questions than to wonder from the sidelines and never bring it to our attention, haha. Sometimes when you're on the team, it's hard to see things from an outside perspective (as with anything) so it's appreciated! :D Thanks, Sheep!

Aww. We all know you didn't mean to be harsh (you didn't sound harsh, just a mutual concern anyone might have had) so it's all good :) Nah, only chewing done here would be by @Caite-chan; but she does that to keep things in tact and running among the staffers. xD

Yeah! You should definitely be open about certain things, especially if you want them clarified, yeah? We're here to help if not mostly, solve the matter at hand at the very best. Yeah, some greenies I can understand. That's why we're currently clearing up the inactive ones and bringing in new ones. We already have a Staff Drive in commencement; you might wana give it a shot? :) Thread link.

But what you said as a whole is true. A blue mod holds higher authority and is basically roaming and taking care of the entire forum, so I think I know where you're coming from, but fret not!

NO WORRIES SHEEEEEEP <3 If you need any others clarified, just bring up the topic yeah? We won't bite or chew or spit (Xanthe said it) xD
