You are entirely correct, Corribus. It was the point I was trying to send across with that kindergarten-level, borderline tautological explanation above that even amused AlHazin, it's an academy for summoners that summon creatures. However, is this really the thread to nit-pick or go full grammar nazi and have an unnecessarily prolonged discussion? As a person directly concerned, the subject is interesting to me, but I definitely believe that it would be wise to not venture into further off-topic and move to another thread instead.

for sure there are many examples of real world places which throw away their apostrophe but I would not say it is actually correct so much as a big meme of being incorrect, that is why I will lean on Oxford and Chicago Manual of Style to determine best practice because it has been rather muddied with badder grammer lol

basically the practice of dropping apostrophes started proliferating as a blanket policy in the US over a hundred years ago because the US Board on Geographic Names decided that they did not want to imply that any individuals owned the land, so Bill's Peak would be Bills Peak for instance so that Bill could not stake his claim, but a lot of modern-day academic theory paints this as a bit of a farce in terms of use of language and my two very authoritative citations among others do advise against it (there are other reasons for that practice to be dubious from other regional histories but I would go on all night) lol

(you will believe it or not based on my HC syntax but I moonlight as a technical writer at my job and had to research such pointless crap before lol)

Thanks for the forum naming input. At the moment I'm leaning towards the opinion expressed by Corribus (Summoners Academy as shorthand for Academy of/for Summoners). But let's indeed not discuss it here, this thread is about moderators. I'm happy to leave the name as it is, as well as the older forum names with similar grammar. If anyone wants to discuss it further then please start a separate thread.

angelito

I guess it would happen at some point - Angelito is no longer a mod. It is only now that I realized this. So, here I am paying my respects to a person who did great work in moderating many different sections of HeroesCommunity.

angelito, be well wherever you are and thank you for all the work that you did in the past!

hey what's the deal with kiryu mate, I have tried to message him (or her, sorry correct me to be correct) but he is not active lol

the Heroes 4 forum certainly has big efforts lately which could warrant a few QPs added but is anyone around to do this, I think not so maybe a different moderator cheers lol

Well summer just ended, maybe she's been busy travelling with family or something? That is very normal where she's from as far as I know.


I do not want to speculate about anyone because I do not believe it is appropriate, I just think a forum needs one moderator who checks HCMs before they will expire (also check that forum where users are asking the same question) cheers lol

unfortunately the HCM has expired so I do not recall the exact date but it was a little bit after I saw a QP be given for the New hero skins, so it was one fine day in June lol

kiryu133 +

Kiryu has been the sole moderator of the Altar, Lands and Temple for over 2 years, but has now been missing for some months. All attempts at contact have unfortunately failed... We appreciate Kiryu's service to the community and these forums and hope that all is well in Kiryu's world.

Existing mod squad members have volunteered to take over these forums:
Maurice is stepping in to look after the Altar of Wishes.
Galaad is stepping in to look after the Lands of Axeoth and Temple of Ashan.

Today I also want to say thanks to LizardWarrior for providing helpful assistance with avatar duties for the last several years. LW is stepping back from this duty due to RL commitments. Few red stars have been sprinkled throughout the avatar thread as a small token of appreciation

I will aim to check in once per month or so to upload new custom avatars, like in the good old days

i know this is going to go unheard, but can we get a couple decent mods to replace a couple bad ones?

You got penalized for basically the same post just a month ago. With your posting record you should just get penalized without explanation. You alone are making the noise of ten people. Cut it off this is your last warning I don't have all day to deal with you.


below is the rest of that post you "conveniently" left out. the part where i gave up, and was leaving the thread, before you came in and threatened me. and threatened me repeatedly afterward. then threatened to punish me only for disagreeing with you continually threatening me, and ONLY me.

this used to be my stance on galaad being a moderator:

galaad's promotion to moderator was a long time coming. it was practically written in stone.


Was it?


absolutely, man. i saw that coming a mile away, based on your character and dedication. i'm actually surprised it took as long as it did.


funny how they stop being your friend once you stop being a leftist.


and as for cor, he's run roughshod over the osm and the vw, running it like a tyrant, for far too long(despite his absence as of late). both corribus and galaad need replaced, and badly; if this forum is to remain fair for everyone.

come on, you know the same as every regular here, that galaad's promotion to moderator was a long time coming. it was practically written in stone.


What you and the regulars don't know is my personal experience with Galaad that goes beyond this forum. But let's not spoil his moment. After all, HC itself might benefit from it.


Character and dedication? Good one. Was it a good call for the forum? Maybe, can't tell. He didn't go after me though, and I didn't want more drama either. Should he step down? If I cared about the forum like you, Geny and some others, I would probably feel he should. But I don't. Lately I've been rather apathetic with regards to this forum, so it doesn't really matter to me.

Maybe that's the issue here, you guys care too much. What's all that emotional investment amounted for? What are you guys getting out of that constant political bickering in the OSM? Do you people really believe that nauseating back and forth on the same repeating subjects is elevating in any way? It's a waste of time and effort. It doesn't help anyone. It makes the forum look bad. And of course it leads to situations like this one and a post in the tribunal.

Sure, if Galaad went after you and only you, it's unfair. That's not something new though, it has been the status quo for a long, long time on this forum in the left-right debate. The mods here are partisan, which is why I've grown to dislike Corribus for the way he handled some threads a while ago. But I think there's one more important issue that comes before that which everyone fails to address: you people just loooooooooooooooove arguing for the sake of it. Work on that problem and the rest will disappear. Well, along with a good chunk of activity in the discussion boards...

of course the typical people don't want anything changed. why would they?

@ stevie: i hate to argue incessantly. i HATE it. my problem, as my close friend put it, is that i care too much. i refuse to be apathetic in an snowballingly snowed-up world. if everyone did that, the vermin of this world would steamroll all of us in short order. they gain more power every day decent people remain docile. every DAY. it is only through fighting back, that we will survive with our dignity intact. it is only through unity and action, that they can be defeated.

to be clear, i'm not referring to anyone here at hc as vermin. this is all minor snow; squabbles within ranks. like it or not, we are on the same team. but that doesn't mean i'm going to excuse garbage behavior or exclusionary pack mentality against our own people. hence my post regarding the mods here.

i'd be really great if things could be discussed like adults, with actual adults. the same people snow up threads with their nonsense arguments and personal bs, then the same mod locks them. even IF we take the time to actually format our conversations in a respectable and easy-to-understand format, you get the exact same responses, from the exact same people, over and over again, and then when the entire discussion devolves into fighting, the same mod(s) steps in and "creates peace" by locking threads and only warning, silencing, or penalizing the people trying to spread vital information online, who are then met by the SAME people over and over again, who would rather SUPPRESS it at all costs.

and because of this bs, you get posts and threads from people who ARE able to face reality, that have devolved into a "see-spot-run" level of communication; effectively lowering the level of discourse in hc even further.

and who's fault is that?

easy. jj and artu primarily, with galaad and corribus bringing up the rear as the inflammatory mods with the same ideals. jj, artu, and corribus have been pulling their bs for YEARS; with galaad being the latest mod to jump in that camp and exhibit the exact same behavior, and with corribus becoming much worse in this last year or so; effectively becoming a fascist in how and WHO he moderates. if jj and artu were no longer a part of hc, and galaad and corribus were demodded, hc could be UNBIASED for a change; and actual ADULT conversations could take place without threat of devolving into childish fighting.

edit: revised after some thought. i don't think galaad and corribus would be bad as just members, here. they were decent members, before they became mods.


or, if you want to make hc a leftist echo-chamber like most other social websites, you could get rid of me, kip, titanfall, and gandalf; since we are primarily the ones standing up to the leftist clique and always being punished for it.


the question is, does val want an unbiased forum where adults can converse like adults, or does he want hc to be just another leftist echo-chamber?

you are doing just what i pointed out above, with this post. thanks for proving my point in THIS thread. not like there aren't countless others where you have done the exact same thing; but it really gives what i'm saying extra emphasis, in THIS thread/subforum.

do you really want this thread to be another thread where you and artu make nonsensical and derogatory posts that devolve communication into arguments that your two mods can then target?

give it some thought before you answer.
