To all our members who contribute mods, patches, tutorials and conversation pieces; thank you. We at OSR appreciate everything you put into this place. Over the last several months, we have seen multiple forums get shut down. But it is because of you guys that OSR is still going strong. Together, we are keeping the No Mercy and SvR modding communities alive.
That is why I do not want to write this topic.
First of all, please stop asking to be made staff and get your topics pinned. These things are not rewards for being good modders. We know some idiot has been telling people that they are, but they were never meant to be. We choose staff based on their skills at running and maintaining a community, not by how good their mods are. When the site is less busy, we do not need too many staff members. If we need more people, we will think about this carefully then, and not before. And we pin topics based on how useful they are. If we have too many pinned topics, it buries everybody else’s topics.
If we do not make you a staff member, or do not pin your topic, it does not mean we do not appreciate your work. In fact, we will be unpinning more topics soon, and it is NOT as a form of punishment. We will be creating new threads where all talented and active modders can be found quickly and easily. We have one for SvR wrestler mods already, and we will be making some NM ones too.
On that note, if you want to do more to get your topics noticed, send me a PM with a link to your topic in it. If I have the time, I will look at your topic and see if there is anything you can do to improve your thread. You don’t have to take my advice, but I will give you the help if you just ask.
Second of all, don’t bother threatening to leave if things don’t go your way. The Staff does not get paid to moderate this place. But we will continue to enforce the rules anyway. So if you break the rules or act like a jerk to other members, we WILL step in. You cannot bully the staff by threatening to quit or asking to have your account deleted. You are welcome to stay. But if you do not like showing respect to others, then feel free to leave.
We have had 4 guys quit in the last week because they acted like jerks, and we told them to stop. They didn’t get official warnings, but they quit because they didn’t like someone pointing out that they were being jerks. But we also had 50 new people sign up in that time period.
This community is growing, and you are all welcome to be a part of it. But the Staff are going to keep doing their best to make sure the community keeps growing.
