Not sure why you guys are talking about workload and spammy comments.

You can call it an assumption on the stress, but okay.

It's users that are the causes of stress.

Let me try to understand this through an example:
Bob complains to Gantic about posts/comments getting deleted.
Gantic explains to Bob why they got deleted.
Bob tells Gantic he's wrong and tries to insult him on a personal level.
Gantic further explains and warns him.
Bob continues and drags it into the forum.
Gantic bans Bob.
Bob comes back and repeats.

Is this something that causes the stress? There must be dozens of Bobs out there.

You should be happy that your a Mod, but stressed mostly about the spamming here. Spamming is just annoying. I can't even write a "merit" because of the number of spam messages produced here.

Maybe if that's all you want out of ArmorGames. I don't completely understand why so many people want to be mods. It's not all fun and games, you have to dedicate a lot of your time to some pretty boring stuff.

I can't even write a "merit"

There's this saying:
You do not write a merit. You write a review of the game, and maybe it will get rewarded with a merit.

In AG3, will potential moderators actually be given a chance by being appointed chatbox mods first, or is the system going to stay the way it is now?

The idea of having chat mods was submitted by a user and never discussed with admins. At least nowhere we can see, so anything involving chat mods are just more ideas. Nothing concrete.

Yes, because it's a waste of time dealing with people like that.

I'm not going to correct the premise this is based on, only let you know that it is wrong.

Why can't Bob just be ignored after it's explained to him why his posts have been deleted? If he does insult you on a personal level, he's obviously just doing it for a reaction, and he won't get the satisfaction he seeks if you don't provide it!

I would imagine it would be because if Bob has the gull to insult a Mod on a personal level, he most likely might do so to other users too, which is something that would need to be dealt with

Huh...that's off. I swear I put the quote thing around what Skeleton_Pilot said and no quotes around what I said..

Well...this is quite embarrassing..the only thing to do now in a moment of embarrassment like this is to climb back into my cave-liar
