So you would rather Stratics only permit clueless persons about a shard to moderate said shard forums ?? IE you would prefer Siege Stratics forum, has moderators that may or may not even play Ultima Online, have never played Siege at all, never seen it, has no clue about Siege Ruleset, ROT, Siege anything and have said clueless ones Moderate HERE ??
And you would prefer that for ALL the shards forums of Stratics where even on Chesapeake, the moderators would have to be from some other shard entirely knowing no one, knowing no history of the shard, nor guilds nor posters nor anything about even that shards Chesapeake and ditto for all the rest of Stratics shard forums............ ie you would rather the moderators be utterly clueless about the shard of players posters and the shards them selves that they moderate upon ??
You think this will make them utterly unbiased ??
Find me ONE human being that is unbiased on this planet...........and ya probably lookin at some God or something ...but it wont be a human being ..try as anyone may try as anyone might................... I bet if we conducted a search we would NOT find any unbiased humanbeings ANYWHERE !! They all do what they can sometimes its grand sometimes it sucks.............they not getting PAID to babysit us all................ yet they do try............... if anyone is upset about mods report em or step up to the plate contact over the heads of all mods and BECOME ONE...........good luck to whomever trys to become one cuz everyone HERE gonna call whomevers BIASED and shoot em all down........... and if they do not know Siege never played here no clue on Siege ruleset etc...........then yall would just shout at em TRAMMIE WTF YOU KNOW BOUT SIEGE...and hense they be still labeled *unfit* to mod in the end here, anyhow !!
As for the controversy of any mod trying to push any events here or elsewhere OH SNAP maybe they just care about UO factions and want hope that this mega event will draw some attention to the broken down faction system and if Siege is a noshow..............maybe all they fix will be unbefitting siege they will forget it as they oft do, esp if WE are not even seen, hense never on the radar ..........yes they all can come here.........but doh no one HERE offered to host that event HERE........someone else thought of it ELSEWHERE first and set it into motion whom also hopes for attention and fixes for factions.
Many a general had to go to some foreign land to meet some other generals they did not even wanna meet nor invite to come, they got above them selves for the hope for the greater good for all and sooooooooo generals met up somewhere anywhere hoping to find some accord on anything... hoping (the media) attention it brings ends up......... for the greater good for all !
