As some of you may have heard, armor games is firing a moderator. Since you're not allowed to have any discussion on the forum i guess post any opinions on the matter here.
The firing thread https://armorgames.com/community/thread/7293378/announcement-firing-a-mod
There are two possibilities this is legit or it's a bad joke for April fools.
Given the cut off date and how out of character this is for the administration, this would suggest a joke. Given how there has been talk between mods and admins and at least one mod seemingly even quitting, this would suggest it's legit.
2. Fixed. Basically say. Devoidless is quitting. AG set it up close to April fools day. All the people who try to fool AG shot fake and all that don't say real they fool both and everyone gets confused.
Also I have a feeling they are fooling the mods as well. There is a high chance the moderators will set a different one up.
*2. Fixed. Basically say Devoidless is quitting as a moderator. AG decided to have it announced close to April fools day. All the people who think they are smart say that it is totally fake and all the noobs think it is real and make real votes. If all works out they both get fooled and AG walks out with +1.
This thread is going to get locked very soon. The one in the forum games is locked already, and locking this too will also increase the tension and secrecy.
Never mind just checked, it was closed because it was in wrong section and you can't discuss other users so DON'T TALK ABOUT WHICH MOD YOU VOTED HERE AND WHY, JUST DISCUSS THE FIRING IN GENERAL
2) It's real. Since they are so serious about it all and even Moderators' are commenting on profiles that they might quit soon due to this then it must be real.
I'm neutral towards the whole thing. When I did vote on the thread it was for joking purposes. If this is real, then I'll feel kind of bad.
If mods are posting on their profile about this then i feel like it's fake because if it was started by a mod then that means mods knew ahead of time and they wouldn't have done it if they would get so mad.
I remember the old "Strop is banned" joke. April '09 was quite a long time ago in internet terms, but I do remember it. The mods were all lying to us and dozens were fooled. I suspect the thread is gone.
If there is real tension in the moderation circle, I wasn't previously aware of it. For now, I'll remain skeptical. Past experiences and what Mage stated keep me on guard.
If it's a joke it seems in poor taste, and I wonder who will laugh. Regardless I remain open to that view, this seems a rather elaborate way of going about things though. Joke or no.
I, too, believe this is all a big April Fool's joke, even though there's no real humor in it (though the jokes with humor in them are often too obvious to fool anyone). And if it isn't, they sure chose a bad time to make the announcement
Well I think the joke is that they WANT you to think it's an April fools joke. oh ya i went there. And if it is where is your sense of humor? Let the people be fooled so you can lol at them later
