Updated the active mod list and added the new rules for Private hosts.

I replied in our pm. in the past we had "fake" mods hopefully that is easily dealt with now thus u are correct

Prastle, you've raised a concern of 'fake' moderator tags.

that should not be that possible. We don't allow spaces.
the fix for that is not by creating a 'true' list somewhere else. That means players should ignore the mod tags and always look to the list. In that case it's argument for removing the mod tag entirely. I think that sounds outlandish, just as requiring players to head out of the application to the user-guide to see who is a mod.

For 'fake' moderators, the fix is with the game engine IMO, not by creating a new list that we have to maintain and hope that players will consult.

@prastle I pushed an edit to the rules. A good chunk of the information in the rules is stated twice or over-emphasized. Let me know what you think of the edits (please leave comments on any line numbers where you have comments/questions).

prastle commented 4 years ago

I only changed 1 line as I recall possible 2 about private hosts and added the list of mods. Do as you wish. @DanVanAtta Apparently you have rewritten a few now. :)

@prastle please have a look at the updates and let me know if there are any you disagree with or think could be improved. This is process where we gather concensus before making updates. This way when we see the rules it's not just the dictate of one person and then subject to equally arbitrary change, but is a decision reached by the team (majority decision is effectively anything that any two people agree on).

Cool, let's keep the conversation going out-of-band from here on accomplishing the goals of having the active mod list (so users can verify the mods they see truly are mods). Thanks for reviewing the additional updates and for getting this ball rolling @prastle :+1:
