So many events ruined

[NuSair]

EMs are not employees of EA- they are independant contractors, therefore until that changes you will not likely see them get increased powers.

EMing is not a fulltime position/job. They only get paid for working X hours each month. It is not like they can work as much as they like and get paid for it. That includes time put into planning and setting up events. There is a lot of unpaid time that goes into EMing.

Events ruined by just one or 2 people. Can we please get a jail, or a mute spell for EMs to use. I realize I can put them on ignore, but it seems EMs dont have that ability and end up having to baby these people and give in to there whines. EMs will end up doing less events and giving out less items!

So please Mesanna or whoever deals with this, give EMs a little power. Thanks!

Some shards would love to just have some decent EM's.

While I see what is being said runs back much like the old Seer program... this was bad.

It caused folk to become very irate... Yes I think people who work hard for the community to bring things to the community should be "recognized" for their efforts.... I believe this was the whole point of the BANNERS...

Which are totally awesome...

However... even as much as I would VERY much like things like um.... A road... to the RP towns... and things of this nature.... heck a signpost on the road that says. XXXX town and points to the town would be cool but....

It would be serious favoritism.... while I think it's deserved for many I can see it abused horribly....

I would prefer that shards get a vote on things or get to help participate in bringing unique things to their shard... like the revamped Banks in Brit... and things of this nature that would "benefit" the entire shard not just one person/group/or guild...

MalagAste, the banners are not being implemented in the same fashion on every shard. Baja is doing something different that doesn't include banners: http://vboards.stratics.com/showthread.php?t=182513 and http://www.uoforums.com/hunters-lodge-general-discussion/71484-kingdom-village-recognition.html.

The handful of people who wanted things to go in this direction already had their say months ago and the rest of the shard is stuck with the rules that they and the EM came up with. This is some of what you'll find on Baja instead of town banners: http://vboards.stratics.com/showthread.php?t=178857.

Sorry but this is a load of bollocks Martyna...

why ? because UO is dying, I have seen it populate, stagnate and now it's dwindling... so those who care about the community AND have paid their money to keep the game going are NOT lumps.

You are most seriously in error like I have never even imagined perhaps seeing you been.
