Ok so I wanted to do this since I have so many thoughts about what's going on on VP. I'm invested in this site, i'm a total idiot for doing so but i don't even care.

But what's been going on lately has been shaking my feelings about this site.
The hackers, I mean are they real hackers - or what's up. Am I safe? I mean this aint our fault, or is it? Why? Is there a real security leak on VP, is Kaj/MirandaKim working on solving this?
How come they haven't been caught, if they have - we should be informed. I mean IP tracing shouldn't be too complicated??

Nazi rules??? I don't think the problem was within the rules, so there was no need renewing them. I joined VP last december and from that day till this week, we've been doing fine imo. The problem has been the hackers. Yes, we might have a bit lazy mods (whom I mostly like and even love as people) and I've seen things slip beneath their fingers but they've been so kind and helpful (here I go and especially thank LoveIsALaserquest & Hypoxic since well, they're the only ones I've been in contact with when it comes to things that needs mods)

And the new changes - the new mods. At first I thought they were brought here to clarify our situation, help us get through what's going on with the hackers. Someone did say that they were worried that they'd just stomp on us, which is how I feel right now. They don't know us yet. Our server might be different from theirs, so please don't treat us the same. Our average age aint 12. I think it's safe to say that it's above 15. Don't treat us like kids, don't look down at us.
Someone brought up it'd be nice if they would train new mods, I thought it was a good idea. Train us to be mods, not by stomping us down but by encouraging us. I don't feel encouraged at all. It wont most likely help that we apply band-aids to completely shattered glass. I mean it's cold, but it's true.

I don't know what I missed, but to be honest. I'm going to be most likely rebellious, i'm going to fight to be heard. I've invested time on this site so much, money too - and i think it's idiotic that we're just getting stomped on - we haven't been well informed about anything. I think we should have a saying in what's going on.

i guess i'm adding if there's something else that comes up.
so, what's going through your minds?

I personally don't think the new mods are terrible, I can see why they are acting how they are as Kim has asked them to do this - though I do still find it a little unfair we can't be trusted to have new mods

I think everyone is overreacting. Some of it is frustrating but it's not as bad as everyone seems to be saying.

I just want Kim/Kaj to clarify the situation. But I mean, someone could translate for them so it'd be more clear and we'd get it right.

Clarify what?
They are doing what they can. They can't say much about this hacking business as they are still figuring it out.

First I'd like to say that I respect the fact that you just say what you feel and think. And I'm from the Dutch server, so I know the mods. Maybe it's easier for me. Since I know a few people here but haven't been here for a while, I can't give my opinion about your feelings, because I don't know what kind of dramas have been here.

I understand the fact that 'strangers' are not appreciated as much as people who are familiar here, but know that they have the best meanings. It's only temporary as far as I know and they're not here to bother you. They're just here to help you out of the problems right now.

I think it's a good idea to have some rules here, but not only because of some bad behaviour. (Because that's only a few people you know, so I can't judge everyone else! Neither can the mods.) But I think it's a good idea to have the same rules on every server, so everyone is treated the same way. But again, don't hate me for this message or something. I'm trying to understand you.

I have a thread you can read through about the ET situation from last night but it's about 30+ pages - but it'll help you understand a lot xD

The rules we have brought to this server, are the rules that should be applied on all the servers. Most of them were already active here, you simply weren't aware of this because the list hadn't been updated in a while. If you take a good look at them once the first shock of 'new' rules has passed, you'll realize that they're quite logical.
It's not the average age that should be taken into account, but the target group that this website was created for. Just because we, as older people, took over, doesn't mean that this shouldn't be a safe place for people that are 12 if they want to. The rules are created to make this possible, banning things such as 'maturity talk' or rude behavior towards others. It's not you that we treat as younger children, simply the possibility of children that might come to this website.

We have to see how it goes and yes, maybe eventually, we will help with picking new mods, but Pim and I don't have the power to train a whole new team, since this is simply a lot of work and usually divided over more than two people. We're here to help, create structure and make things run more smoothly in the modteam, since this is why Kim made us mods on this site.

I hope this clarified something?

well i guess you're right. I mean I do tend to give a chance for the new mods, at the moment i'm not too impressed but well - let's see what the future brings us <:
