I know this has been said before but I guess I've seen more moderators doing it and it gets pretty annoying tbh. Locked profiles. (This member limits who may view their full profile.) I know some will say its their choice to lock it or not but I think whats the point? I think every moderator should have their profile unlocked. New members could need help, maybe they don't know how to message, tbh there is not negative side to this. If a moderator is getting harassed they can always delete it and warn them/mute & ban. p.s this is NOT to start arguments, its just my opinion.
Woah... Then again, I've seen lots of staff do it at times Edit - Thanks for the unreasonable edit @mods
Support. I find it kind of silly because moderators need their profiles unlocked if new members need questions.
Mods, just like any player, have a good reason for blocking their profiles. Mostly it is because players will continuously harass them on their profiles. If we get rid of this option for staff you remove the right a staff has to a safe and comfortable environment on these forums which is wrong. Now as long as the mod is contactable there is no issue in having a restricted profile. This means pm should be open or profile; whichever staff feel best with. There is another option to let people view but not comment (read only). I, as staff, understand the importance of privacy and I do not want this right taken away. No support. Because players like to harass her on her profile consistently. Which is why it is hidden. If players stopped harassing her maybe her profile would be unlocked. Now quit using her as an example because it is you, others, alts and god knows who else who forced her into a private profile so she can complete her job as staff.
Support. I was part of the staff team and I mean come on, you're here to keep the server running correctly and you're going to get hate. You should be able to deal with this hate. Furthermore, a delete button exists for anything that can be posted on any given profile for the profile page's owner to press if they so choose. This also can not be used as staff report evidence as every player has a right to delete comments off their profile
