Buzz Sound-Off! SalmonV2


In this segment, you will be given a weekly topic to debate about. You will have the chance to post your opinions, comments, criticism and ideas on the Game Forum, when the proper official topic is made. The topic is made at a random time during the week to ensure that many players get to eventually voice their opinion!

Next week, 5-10 (depending on how many we get) random opinions will be placed on the Buzz along with a new debate question!

THIS WEEK'S DEBATE!
This week we saw Shaggerty lose his rag and hitlist his ex-girlfriend and her now boyfriend, for $5billion each. Do you think his actions have proven he doesn't deserve to be re-instated?



"To be in a position like a moderator, one has to be expected to show some restraint and maturity, set an example to newer players. These hitlists had the potential to cause interference, say what would have happened if Shaggerty wanted to keep his hitlists on for 10 mins or so to cause a stir, and the N Don gets in first and nets himself an astronomical amount of cash. That would have been a problem. This, coupled with his resignation, shooting spree and reinstatement (which caused a LOT of controversy) has probably made a lot of players lose faith in him as a staff member, and considering no other staff member has blown their top like this, it is unacceptable."

"Let's review the 'damage' caused by the 1 minute hitlisting of her and lkp.... Yes, they were hitlisted, a minute later they were bought off.
What's the problem? No damage was actually caused to the player(s) or the economy. Answers on postcard."

"People are allowed to make mistakes, but he seems to make more than most others. Why have him as mod when others can do the job without fucking up all the time?"
~ TedGrey

"Mods should not interfere with game play, that includes sending $$ to their friends. He was given another opportunity after messing up several times. If he is reinstated as a mod again, then this game is a joke."
~ MGomez

"95% of the drama of the Shaggy situation was the players and not even him If people didn't make 7000 topics it wouldn't have been so dramatized."
~ BadAssOnceAgain

"I just pissed myself when I heard the full story for the first time. He did himself no favours whatsoever."
~ Stray

"I've gone through every topic about this and it's been blown out of proportion... but I can't say that I agree with his methods as, in my opinion, it has showed lack of professionalism and bad publicity to the Elite Guard. A simple 'log out' would have sufficed in contrary to the hitlists and suicide."
