The Daily Bits

As I’m sure some of you know the Bits & Bytes Sandbox is one of the most active areas on the forums. When it was originally created it was made for an area where you could get your spamming urges out or test a signature. Last night two topics, “Battle of the Site Owners” and “Battle of the Moderators v1.1” were created. These topics are pointless and but create an unnecessary feeling of competition among staff members. Every member on the staff was hired because we felt they would do an adequate job at modding the forums. So in short what I’m saying is that everyone’s equally “the best,” even though some people may have favourites. These topics are no longer going to be allowed at rsbandb.

There’s a few more things I want to address…

First off my reply in the site owner section.

You guys do realize that you could all be hung for treason or have your fingers clipped off. Anyways if this is about me not letting you into the RuneWire beta test Billy, I picked people based on RSBandB activity and RS activity on the highscores. Don’t worry though everyone will have a chance eventually. Expect more beta testers to be chosen around Wednesday.

For those of you wondering as to why I don’t talk to anyone outside the core staff groups at rsbandb it’s because well… sometimes I don’t need 50 odd people messaging me on msn. I tried that when we first started the site, lets just say the huge mass convos with 50+ people don’t sit well with me.

If you’ve tried to add me on msn and I didn’t add you it’s not because I hate you it’s just because I like keeping my MSN list small to minimize interruptions and maximize productivity. In fact I encourage any member here to message me on the forum systems, clan chat, or our chat here if you see me and have a problem or want to ask a question. I do try to reply to all my PM’s.

I see that in the time writing this, this topic has spawned battle of the moderators… That one should be interesting!

I felt it necessary to post it here since some of you may have tried on the odd occasion to add me to msn.

Finally point number three.

This one sorta relates to some things that go on in the sandbox and rsbandb in general. The moderating staff always has reasons for what we do. No one is ever warned or banned without reason. So when you hear horror stories of people getting banned or warned for obscure reasons, just remember that no one knows the real reason behind these except the mod staff. So in a nutshell, take what you hear about warnings and bans with a grain of salt.
