Seeking Moderators
Posted by Mat on 2 Jul 2016, 9:15 pm
Greetings, villagers! As you may have noticed we received a massive influx of players over the last day. This is far more than our little team of moderators can handle, so we're looking to expand our moderator team, and welcome some new Player Safety members! If you are interested in applying for a moderator position, please send a message to [email protected] with the following: your Furvilla username, your age, your location and time zone, your prior moderation experience, and why you'd like to be a moderator on Furvilla. Please note that we can only accept applications from players aged eighteen or older.
Also, we have a message to share from MOD-Deinmaar, the Head of Community, who would like to address some issues with our current moderators' actions:
The moderators owe the entire Furvilla Community a massive apology. The deletion of many, many threads that never actually violated the Terms of Service wasn't right of us, and we are working to rectify and retrain our team before we open the forums and chats again to make sure this is never an issue again. Miscommunication is no excuse, and we gravely apologize for the trauma this has caused many users who did absolutely nothing wrong. We sincerely hope you enjoy the rest of the site while we work diligently to right our wrongs.
Furvilla has received a much higher amount of registrations than we were prepared for and we're working to ensure our Forums and Chatrooms are welcoming to all members. Please bear with us while we hire additional help! In the meantime, if you haven't gotten a chance, please be sure to read the Newbie Guide and continue your enjoyment of the game.
Have a lovely night!
Thank you, mods! I really appreciate how honest and hardworking you all are. This site does have bumps and kinks to work out, but after a bit of time it'll be smooth sailing.
I really hope the fourms stay down for awhile cause the site is so fast its A M A Z I N G!
I wish you the best of luck with everything. This is awonderful site with much potential. I've told a few of my friends about it. Ya'll seem like nice people and I hope you aqquire the moderators needed. You guys have a good night too!
Glad to see it was addressed and hopefully you get a hand with more mods! I'm not sure if I would be mod material as I have had no mod experience...
Thank you for your communication! I can't imagine how intimidating such a large amount of users has been and I'm glad that it's getting sorted out :)
I don't see why a crucial part of the site needs to be shut down just because the FurVilla team wasn't properly prepared. Mods should've been screened better and taught what are really issues and what aren't as far as what people talk about. Maybe an automated filter to catch inappropriate subjects and words and warn players that if continued misconduct could result in a ban rather than giving "power" to someone that's just going to abuse it because they were personally triggered by a topic in a forum.
As a player, I feel pretty isolated in my villager endeavors while trying to expand from where my villagers live and I was hoping to meet members of the community as well through this and it just got a lot lot harder while waiting for a larger team that could only make this happen again.
Thank you for this. Thank your hard work despite the major road blocks in your way. Trolls, mass user count. Still loving FurVilla :D
ya'll are precious. genuinely though, thanks for the update and i wish the team luck in finding more moderators.
Thank you for the quick update! Good luck finding new staff. I'll be applying.
The only complaint I have is that it might be hard to get goods from other players now without going offsite, but it's a tiny price to pay to make it more peaceful around here.
