I'll respond as a new mod.
For those of you who didn't vote/weren't around/didn't care to get involved for whatever reasons, we had a moderator election.
__V__, neverending and myself were elected to the mod board, which essentially leaves us with six moderators. Officially there are eight, but only five on paper, which can get a might bit confusing.
The listed five main mods are, and have been for a while, are:
Allmykids, kpropain, bloodrayne, Austin and zwoti.
Out of these, Allmykids lost the password to her mod account long ago and as far as I know, hasn't been around for awhile. This essentially eliminates her as a mod. Kpro, for one reason or another, is rarely around.
As far as I know (I hope, anyway) the three of us were elected to ease the burden of the new systems filtration (spamalot) problems based on a few factors:
1.) Board frequency
2.) Trust of fairness
3.) Communication skills
4.) Awesome hairdos
Okay, I made one of those up. It's most likely the trust one.
The six of us do the best possible to meet and communicate on decisions. It becomes hard when most of us are in different timezones and two of us are in different countries. I think NE and I are the only ones with the same time schedule.
As far as the decisions that have been made over the last couple of days that have caused all of the ruckus, there are more than two sides to every story. Not all of us are vocal in what we do, and not all of us are there when critical decisions need be made. All I can say is that we do the best we think we can do to continue the existence of HDC with the vague rules that Horror has laid out for us. We don't exactly have great communication with him (Doc Faustus song should follow shortly) and we've kind of been left alone to try to make the best of a situation. Sometimes it can get ugly.
All that being said, anyone who wants to pm or email me are perfectly welcome. I'll answer any questions or concerns to the best of my ability.
Thank you for your time,
-Rikki (Flayed)
