Stop the mini mod

[prisma heron]

Fr. It’s really toxic

[broken trail]

This suggestion is gonna make me only consume information from text

[covert dome]

I have never been called a mini mod but i understand what you mean. Its very rude to call someone names.

[warm totem]

i dont think its that deep ngl

plus you can always tell the person to stop

[lofty root]

I didn't think mini mod was offensive?

I thought it was describing someone who helps the community (who's not an actual moderator)

This might seem harsh the way I'm phrasing but but it's a genuine question

In what way is this offensive?

This gives off the same vibes as calling someone "cool" and getting offended

[lofty root]

❓

[broken trail]

It’s a term used to describe people who remind/enforce rules in an overly sensitive manner
-# and who aren’t actually mod ofc

[lofty root]

Overly sensitive?

[still pewter]

I kinda feel this, I tell someone to stop griefing another person's build in Wilds and they just say "Mini mod lil bro"
This only really happens when you stick up for somebody tbh

[lofty root]

When I hear it I just think of it as some calling them a "mini mod"... (like someone who's NOT a moderator but helps the community)

[river ice]

stop being a minimod than

[lofty root]

But I've never been called this so I guess I just didn't know it was a problem

[river ice]

its that simple

[glass galleon]

1. not everyone uses the term as an insult
2. more importantly, there is a difference between helping the community and the traditional minimodding
   if you are traveling between lobbies to look for people to "correct" for minor misbehavior, you are a minimod
   if you are trying to help a situation you got involved in naturally, you are just helping the community

[lofty root]

Ok your making me understand this suggestion now

[river ice]

its obv that people are gonna be mad at you if your gonna police them and not being a person of authority

[still pewter]

I think that sums it up pretty well

[lofty root]

Well if there genuinely breaking the code of conduct then just don't listen to ehat they say and report them

[river ice]

yeah

just report them and go on with your day

[lofty root]

Fr

[river ice]

you dont have to comfront them or anything or if someone does something that is minorly bad you dont have to police them 24/7

[lofty root]

Like I see people try to talk to people telling them to stop for minutes on end, I think there's a point where you have to realize your not getting through to them and report them and leave

If your getting called a mini mod "offensively" then just don't pay attention to those people

I personally don't get it when people get upset at things on games or smth

[glass galleon]

I mean, I might sound like a minimod here but you could defuse the situation, depending on what's happening
like 2 little brats arguing, it should be easy to step in as someone who actually knows the rules to (at least try) and stop the argument
but if someone is griefing or something, there's no point in being all "so that is an actionable offense, and I'm going to have to report you to the discord for that"

[lofty root]

Because the option to leave is right there

[glass galleon]

I think the op is trying to close the post

oh yeah it got deleted

[lofty root]

❓

[broken trail]

Who’s gonna tell him

[lofty root]

Oh no way

[river ice]

i could see that

[lofty root]

Bro we weren't saying anything mean

[river ice]

but than again its none of your business

[lofty root]

With the first thing personally I would ignore

[glass galleon]

yeah probably not worth the time

but some people like doing that

[lofty root]

But for the second all you gotta do is report them to the discord if there doing something bad without saying anything so I agree

[broken trail]

Yea, I wouldn’t force the situation to be put to rest in my hands

[modest orchid]

I heard my name

[lofty root]

If there doing it in the first place there not going to be scared by "I'm reporting you to the discord"

[glass galleon]

like half the time people report someone to the discord, it feels like they need to announce it 💔

[lofty root]

Yeah

[broken trail]

That’s usually the ideology of the mini mod, they want to feel as if they are authority

That’s why they nitpick and cut to action, something a regular mod would be opposed to do

[glass galleon]

yeah that's where you get into that minimod territory
not trying to help the community, but wanting to be a mod instead

[lofty root]

Like yesterday I got scammed out of a sea dragon (I was recording plus this guy was dressed like EVIL MAN WHO KILLED MANY PEOPLE OF A SPECIFIC RACE) and reported him then he got warned, meaning if he gets reported again he's banned. I didn't say anything...

[glass galleon]

always having to tell you off for the smallest things to...

[lofty root]

Rq why th did he delete the video

[modest orchid]

“Mini modding” isn’t really a bad thing, people just do it because they think it gives you a better chance at mod which I don’t blame them because who doesn’t want mod, but I do agree announcing it to players and saying like “you are going to be reported to the discord” for whatever reason is kinda dumb, but they aren’t bad people for helping the community.

[glass galleon]

"who doesn't want mod"

me

[still pewter]

Its just "mini mods" want attention and a sense of authority

[lofty root]

True it just seems like there begging for authority or pretending they are an authority figure when they do that, it's just highly unnecessary

[river ice]

why do minimods like to use yeep emojis so much

[broken trail]

They aren’t helping tho

[glass galleon]

I don't want mod

[modest orchid]

There helping the devs and the mods

[glass galleon]

and that fake nice

[modest orchid]

You don’t have to

[glass galleon]

I mean, sometimes?
I think we're on two different pages fo what a minimod is

[broken trail]

You don’t know what a mini mod is in this context

[glass galleon]

.

[modest orchid]

I mean they have a #🚨・game-reports for a reason

[modest orchid]

What’s the context

[glass galleon]

we're talking more of those people who assert authority as if they're a mod, because they want to be one (usually for the power)

[broken trail]

People who use that aren’t inherently a mini mod tho

[broken trail]

[modest orchid]

I mean yes that’s stupid

[still pewter]

vro what 😭

there's a minimod division??

[river ice]

captain drex is sure a person

[river ice]

no they just spam ping captin drex for being a minimod

[lofty root]

Th is drex

[still pewter]

Ah I understand now lol

[lofty root]

Imagine pinging a mini mod instead of a genuine moderator 😭

Imagine pinging 😭

[broken trail]

Imagine 😭

😭

[lofty root]

😭

[lofty root]

NO YOU DID IT FIRST

[broken trail]

Hahahahah

[lofty root]

Still confused y he deleted the vid

[still pewter]

He could be a minimod himself and wanted to delete the video explaining himself

other than that idk why he would delete it

[lofty root]

If he was unhappy with the comments he shoulda deleted the whole suggestion 😭 like what

[still pewter]

If I am being honest, I feel like a minimod myself

but instead of being like "erm, you are breaking the rules, I WILL report you 🤓"

I want to provide helpful insight to people so they can understand whatever

now I fr sound like a minimod 🥀

[broken trail]

You can’t, it doesn’t let you

[lofty root]

Oh my bad

[vernal turtle]

what was this

[still pewter]

Just scroll up lol

[tulip phoenix]

Original post got minimodded

[noble cape]

It can be to the critically fragile people who oh so happen to be, MINI MODS!

[noble cape]

You don't. You're not a mini mod.

Mini mods are zero help, all report

[still pewter]

Thanks man

[noble cape]

Yeah

But being real, telling someone to stop griefing a build that isn't yours is a little mini mod-ish tbh

[vernal turtle]

minimods aren't helpful

that's the difference between them and people who want to see the game get better

minimods just want a sense of authority

[noble cape]

I mean if I'm mad that I got penalized or banned, I'm gonna start mini modding cuz I am a certified bucket crab

[still pewter]

I get that, usually I don’t get in other peoples business, it’s just that when somebody does something that’s bannable and the people don’t do anything about it, I’m just like “hey you might wanna stop or you’ll get banned”

I don’t jump straight to “IM REPORTING YOU TO THE DISCORD!!! YOU DID SOMETHING BAD!!!”

[noble cape]

Mini Mods are just Animal Company brained

AC Brain is either "plunder and grief to my hearts content!" (me) or "Jarvis, ban him"

[still pewter]

In public lobbies, people call me “angry moderator” because the icon on the leaderboard for a popup zipper is like a shield but red. So whenever I tell someone to stop that’s always what they say 😭

Also I haven’t played AC since like the office update, is the mini mod problem worse there?

[vernal turtle]

can you not take the zipper off

[covert dome]

Good idea 👍

[still pewter]

I can, but honestly I’ll keep it on till it’s an actually annoying problem

[noble cape]

If you break a rule that really doesn't affect them in the slightest kids will get BESERKED!

Also, you oughtta hop back on.

[still pewter]

🥀

I want to hop back on but like I have nothing because I used to have like 100K nuts until a modder joined and gave us all like 1 billion, then my account was set to 10K

I also won the equivalent of a popup in AC but only got some in game currency and no cosmetic

[noble cape]

That is dumb fs

[noble cape]

It isn't too hard to make money since the smooth brained devs had the idea of putting cinder ore in the mineshaft

We can hop on in a private to make some cash

[still pewter]

I won the "Teach a new player!" challenge, I got 10th place with my crap ahh music video

[noble cape]

lol

[still pewter]

I still have it on YT but idk if I can post links here lol
