Raise the minimum moderator age to 18+

[faint echo]

Get on ur server

[hazy axle]

people in adult hood have incredibly varying schedules but that's just the thing if you have a bunch of teens and it's the school year then what no moderation for hours?

Well no you have people from around the world filling in that time. You can do the exact same thing with 18+ even easier due to the fact that people can have night shifts or day shift, and midday, sure some of those people may be in college but they could get around that by hiring some more full time post collage graduates and people who plan to just do it on the side.

[left nebula]

Reply to the other people in the thread

[hazy axle]

And to address the current mod team maybe they could be given a different role. And maybe brought back as mods when they do come of age for the role

[hazy axle]

What?

[left nebula]

@wraith lion

[wraith lion]

I guess you’re right

everyone here is going to have varying opinions, just ultimately up for trass to decide

[hazy axle]

Yes of course and we have no control of the end outcome

They could choose to change nothing or maybe find a compromise in the middle of moving discord moderation up to the age but keep in-game moderation lowered to still allow the younger players a place in the moderation.

And maybe more guidelines for tickets like having the reporter select a box if the ticket is nsfw to allow an adult moderator to handle the issue.

There are hundreds of ways they could compromise and improve the system to better the safety of the players and the moderators alike.

[wraith lion]

not a bad idea

[fervent carbon]

i think this sounds a bit like fortnite

[autumn flame]

I support the idea tbh

[sour rune]

Normally I'd agree but most moderators are under 18 because this is a kid's game and it'd take way longer for any ticket to get accepted or denied

[sour rune]

Reacting 🍅 on my message isn’t answering or clarifying why I’m wrong

[tulip carbon]

You're wrong because as mentioned in the original message, if its treated as a full time job moderation would be insanely efficient because its literally the main thing people do throughout there day to get paid money.

even 10 paid moderators would be highly efficient and may even be too many tbh

[tulip carbon]

tho i dont know how often a ticket is made so

[tulip carbon]

dw this how i felt when someone spammed tomato reactions on my messages 🥹

[tulip carbon]

yk i think young people involved in moderation CAN be good but i also think they should be restricted from reviewing reports that will contain any inapropriate evidence such as an inapropriate reskin

inappropriate***************

jesus

cant spell that right for the life of me

[onyx pier]

so maybe just add an option to mark a ticket as 18+/innapropriate and then moderators who arent 18 cant view it

so those who want to volunteer in yeeps still can without waiting another 4 years

[tulip carbon]

yeah that was a suggestion that branched off of this post. https://discord.com/channels/1197017602292207666/1520202940676047040

bokoling said here they can’t be paid because of legal stuff

[tulip carbon]

so trass cant legally hire mods???

like

18+ mods mind you

not minors

[sour rune]

Ask Bokobling

[tulip carbon]

@slender vortex

im 90% sure he was talking about child labor laws

though those dont apply so long as the people hired are adults

which is the entire point of this post

[mellow wyvern]

yea I think he means paying minors

there’s no way there’s a law against this

[sour rune]

Child Labor?
Not paying minors should be child labor

[onyx pier]

idk he might or might not aqua deltarune

[tulip carbon]

well theres such a thing as too young to work and all lmao

[mellow wyvern]

aqua would never

[hazy axle]

Yeah I said maybe add a tick box for the reporter to click if it contains NSFW content

[tulip carbon]

though this is decided by the state, so thats likely why they cant pay any minors for their work because it varies greatly and would apply differently.

[slender vortex]

I was talking about how volunteers, like us, cannot get paid

Hired Moderators like Due and Gomes can

[tulip carbon]

now comes the question: do we trust yeeps members to use that properly 😭

[onyx pier]

game in the convinently shaped cardboard trap

[tulip carbon]

so your just saying since you volunteered it cant be paid

alright

[hazy axle]

Hopefully and they could be subsequently punished for misuse to discourage it

[slender vortex]

It's also because Steve eplained that it's a whole legal issue to pay volunteered minors for a vr moderation role

[tulip carbon]

still though they would need to have a serious application process similar to a full time job application so that they can see people's maturity and all.

[tulip carbon]

i dont think i trust many people in this community to not have bias

[tulip carbon]

yeah thats why this post is talking about hiring adults and all and paying them to do it

[sour rune]

I would agree but I still think we should have SOME under 18 mods

[onyx pier]

A mix of both is good

[tulip carbon]

if they can prove that they are quite mature and dont use bias, like maybe boko, then yeah

[tulip carbon]

because game moderation is an entire field you can actually work for

so preparing early can be good.

[sour rune]

If you update the original message to have that I’ll agree

[tulip carbon]

but we would seriously need a system that bans those moderators whom are minors from viewing any nsfw evidence

it could be like an internship type of thing

[onyx pier]

That doesn't exactly work because internship is someone whos a trainee (aka jr mod)

[sour rune]

You said they’d have to be mature
I think a mature minor can handle nsfw

[onyx pier]

maybe just 18+ mods and under 18 mods

[tulip carbon]

no

its not about if they can handle it

[onyx pier]

NSFW is something a minor really shouldn't be introduced to while they're still developing

[tulip carbon]

its generally about whats morally and legally right

adult content

is NEVER

for a MINOR

in NO circumstance

wait when was due pinged in this

[sour rune]

Fine then

[tulip carbon]

how did i not notice this 😭

thanks due

[sour rune]

Start of the downfall of Yeeps

[wintry trout]

[scarlet locust]

Not to be that guy but the last time this was suggested (in alpha), devs did NOT take a lick of info out of this

But yk this time we got Due and em' so things might be different

¯_(ツ)_/¯

[vivid crater]

All the ❌’s are from the underage moderators who abuse their power

No reason to disagree with this besides wanting moderator and being underaged

[sour rune]

Most moderators are underage (under 18) and most don’t abuse their power since those who do got demoted

[vivid crater]

Underage as in under 13

[sour rune]

No Moderator is under 13

[vivid crater]

I don’t know about that

[sour rune]

There has probably been under 13 moderators but currently there are none

[vivid crater]

There definitely are

[sour rune]

Well then they must be doing their job really well for an underage kid

[vivid crater]

I don’t know about that

mods either take their job too seriously, actually do their job, abuse power, or just under the age of 13

Trusting a bunch of users accounts to random 13 to 15 year olds is never a good idea lol

[tulip carbon]

Because back then I don’t think any nsfw was generally happening yet. However now we have inappropriate things sometimes sent in general or others people’s DMs that are reported.

And again, mods back then were already mods with gog, so they were more experienced and possibly even more mature than any mod coming in after.

[tulip carbon]

Most of the mods were already with gog at least

[limpid yew]

Nah it should be raised to 16 not 18, they don’t see that bad of stuff lol

[left nebula]

Hi

[tulip carbon]

Yes they do

[fierce canopy]

is bro a mod

[tulip carbon]

I know people who have told me they reported someone doing something inappropriate or sending inappropriate things

That’s how I know

[fierce canopy]

thats not every day thing tho

[tulip carbon]

It doesn’t matter? It still happens?

[fierce canopy]

barley

[tulip carbon]

https://klipy.com/gifs/get-a-load-of-this-pointing

Finally found the gif i needed for this

Thank God

[tulip carbon]

It doesn’t matter if it barely happens or happens often dude

If it happens at all it’s an issue legally

And morally imo

[fierce canopy]

and its impossible to stay away from stuff like that here

its the dang internet

[left nebula]

Why is everyone using klipy

[sour rune]

tenor is way better

[mellow wyvern]

tenor is tweaking and might shut down

dont quote me on that tho

I just know some gifs won’t work on tenor

[sour rune]

already did

it’s like half working tho

so who knows

I have server booster

use the gif in general

[tulip carbon]

idk just found the gif

[tulip carbon]

still doesnt matter bro

"somethings happening, so lets make it happen sooner!"

no bro

😭

[grim vale]

Just rage bait atp

[wintry trout]

[wintry trout]

When a flood happens a door can hold that water from getting in, but if water gets into the house then the door gives away so pretty much stoping them from seeing it now would pretty much not make a difference

Idk if that makes sense

[tulip carbon]

Dude

Stopping them from seeing it is still morally right

In fact

They’d see more if anything.

Do you want them to see more? Or see it sooner?

Because that’s f’d up

I don’t know where the idea came in that it wasn’t

[wintry trout]

what

Oh

Just saying I mean it’s really easy to see stuff like that on websites and the internet

I’m to lazy to explain it

[tulip carbon]

Still trass is at fault for holding the applications open for minors in this case

Yk

I do agree this could be wrong and it may not be illegal

[neat geyser]

what uncs play yeeps tho🫩

[tulip carbon]

But I’ve also considered talking to some actual law enforcement about it

[tulip carbon]

Arguments been made 500 times I know that’s why it would be treated as a full time job

[tulip carbon]

Treating it as that with pay and all is actually more efficient in many ways.

[limber jewel]

meow

[wintry trout]

I’m with you on that but there’s a lot more ways to fix this then raising the age

Make a suggestion to where only mods that are 16/17/18 can only view those type of things and mods under 15 view normal stuff that’s not nsf

Your mostly just trying to fix the problem without trying to find ways to fix how it is rn

[fierce canopy]

https://discord.com/channels/1197017602292207666/1520202940676047040

[wintry trout]

See there 🥹

[tulip carbon]

Dude that’s still bad

Only 18+ mods

And it still doesn’t solve for the bias and immaturity on the moderation team

[wintry trout]

17+

[tulip carbon]

That’s still a minor

Come on bro

[wintry trout]

Bud

[tulip carbon]

I genuinely am losing faith in our entire society 💔✌🏻

Only 18+ people should be able to view the nsfw reports

No lower

[wintry trout]

We all share don’t share opinion I feel as 17+ would be fine for that

Autocorrect

Making me lose aura

But anyways

[tulip carbon]

Dawg

Ur opinion is just weird 😭

It’s genuinely not that hard to just have 18+ people do it

It’s morally right

Legally right

Sure 17 is mature but they are still minors and shouldn’t view adult content

[wintry trout]

You don’t think 17 view adult content?

[tulip carbon]

I don’t think 17 year olds should view adult content.

[wintry trout]

Well most do

[tulip carbon]

Doesn’t matter

They shouldn’t

And they also shouldn’t volunteer for a position where they do so either

Murder happens but it doesn’t make it right

[wintry trout]

This mostly just seems like your view on it

[tulip carbon]

Robberies happen but it doesn’t make it right

[tulip carbon]

This is common sense dude

Well

Common morals

Like come on 😭✌🏻

[wintry trout]

Well it’s difficult because we both view it differently

Idk bud

[tulip carbon]

It’s literally a minor, having to view evidence containing ADULT content

This is either ragebait or genuine rot in the society.

[wintry trout]

Ts not ragabit

[tulip carbon]

Then you’re morally wrong

I’m honestly not gonna argue with that anymore

[wintry trout]

Alright I guess

[tulip carbon]

That’s just insane.

[wintry trout]

Just because you see things that way dosent mean others do.

[tulip carbon]

Bro these are basic morals fym 😭✌🏻

[wintry trout]

From what you said your implying that people should follow these

And that

Follow the rules you feel are right

Idk

[tulip carbon]

Dude

[wintry trout]

If this makes sense

[tulip carbon]

These are commonly accepted in society

😭✌🏻

[wintry trout]

If your done I’m done
Pointless to talk to someone who is to far in there head
Last thing I’m saying

[tulip carbon]

Then stop already please

And thank you

[potent star]

No cuz its illegal to have minors potentially moderate nsfw content...

Moderation is required to look into tickets

Which means a minor would be obligated to

(Very bad)

Also at 17 viewing that content anyway is just bad

[wintry trout]

Why yall take action now though?

[potent star]

Idk, I just saw this thread and did some research

Its a discord issue in general

Not just Yeeps

And its very overlooked

[wintry trout]

I mean I see things differently but I don’t want to get in that argument again

[potent star]

Well I don't think its directly illegal for an under 18 to view that content

The issue is that

Its obligated with moderation

As a moderator you're kinda forced to check tickets

[potent star]

Its obviously very bad

But idk if it is directly illegal

Very much could be tho

If it is, makes my argument stronger

[simple epoch]

Better later than never

[wintry trout]

Honestly instead only mods above the age of 18 should Answer nsf tickets

The rest answer normal tickets

[simple epoch]

There was a suggestion saying this, but it died, it does seem like a good solution

[tulip carbon]

https://tenor.com/view/hiromi-higuruma-disappointed-anime-disappointed-jjk-jjk-season-3-gif-13375320498557356597

[tulip carbon]

So literally exactly what I said as a bare minimum earlier

[wintry trout]

That’s what I basically said earlier

[tulip carbon]

You said 17 dawg

😭✌🏻

Ik it’s yk

A year younger

But it makes all the more difference trust me.

[wintry trout]

I don’t think it does

But we aren’t doing this again

My fault I should’ve put or 18+

[tulip carbon]

Sum like that yuh

[wary patrol]

I think 14 is enough.

How many 18 year olds want mod and will do it?

There’s like 70 18 year olds that apply

[left nebula]

It’s 100% not

[wary patrol]

MAYBE 16+

Not 18

[left nebula]

16 still to young

[wary patrol]

@spiral lagoon are you guys actually considering this???

I see you’re in the thread

[left nebula]

Read the messege from due

I think he is

[wary patrol]

If this actually happens

I quit

So

[left nebula]

Why

It’ll be better for the community

[wary patrol]

WE WILL LOSE 95% OF OUR MODERATORS

ITS NOT SMART AT ALL

I’m actually mad

[left nebula]

Why

It’ll be so beneficial for the community

[wary patrol]

Give me 3 reasons why.

[left nebula]

It’ll prevent minors from seeing nsfw

[wary patrol]

What kind of NSFW is the mods seeing bro

It gets auto modded

[left nebula]

A lot

[wary patrol]

@hazy plaza have you EVER seen nsfw on a ticket?

[tulip carbon]

Not if we hire them

[wary patrol]

What about @wary tulip

[wary patrol]

Wym hire them

[tulip carbon]

@slender vortex has

[tulip carbon]

Bro read the full post

Nah don’t even argue

You ain’t even read the post dude.

[fair schooner]

I still feel that 16 would be better

In a lot of countries (eg., Great Britain, Australia) - 16 is actually the age of consent

[tulip carbon]

16 is the age of consent in some us states

Still doesn’t make it right tho

[fair schooner]

exactly

[tulip carbon]

I mean

Even thinking logically here

[dense geode]

atleast im safe

[tulip carbon]

You risk having a child which is a huge responsibility and you’ll need to work a job you likely won’t enjoy

[fair schooner]

When you apply for moderator - you acknowledge that you're gonna see some messed up stuff

[dense geode]

👴

[tulip carbon]

Nah you are 5 years old trust

[tulip carbon]

Still does not matter

[fair schooner]

Why??

[tulip carbon]

Because in the us a federal law is passed that doesn’t allow minors the view such content regardless

It’s still illegal in the us

Which is where trass operates

So

They have options here

Change the moderator age to 18+

Or

Implement a system as to where minor moderators have a different role from adult moderators and aren’t allowed to view nsfw evidence which is marked as such by the person reporting it.

Even if they do implement such a system

It still doesn’t solve for the problem with immaturity, bias, and poor communication.

[tulip carbon]

If we were to “just get rid of the bad mods” then our mod team would be 5 people just as it would be if we made the minimum age 18+. Unfortunately there aren’t many good mods.

[dense geode]

[left nebula]

Hi furbo

If you add someone @dense geode we will have 67 mutuals

[dense geode]

no

68

[knotty bramble]

😔

[left nebula]

67

[knotty bramble]

66

[left nebula]

I really hope this thread gets turned into reality

[knotty bramble]

😔

[tulip carbon]

I wonder how many people I’ve argued with in here actually read the top of the thread.

[left nebula]

Why you use that emoji

[knotty bramble]

[tulip carbon]

“Our mod team would be like- f-f-f-five people-!!-!!-!-“ we don’t need many paid moderators because it’s their job they do 8-10 hours a day 😭✌🏻

[left nebula]

[knotty bramble]

Would you rather have over 100 mods that volunteer with some mistakes or only 10 that are good like what😭

[tulip carbon]

It’s more than just “some” mistakes imo

[tulip carbon]

I’ve seen mistakes happen multiple times a month consistently bro I should honestly start logging everything dumb I see or hear about 😭✌🏻

[knotty bramble]

What mistakes have you encountered?

[tulip carbon]

I proved bias to be correct with a simple question about the punishment for a certain action, and also seen plenty of horrible communication

You know it’s bad when different moderators tell you different things are allowed

I literally choose certain mods to ask over others because I know they’ll probably favor my side and it works 9/10 times 😭✌🏻

[knotty bramble]

I said mistakes

[tulip carbon]

Those are mistakes

However

[knotty bramble]

Communication can be complicated lokey tho

Some can be offline

[tulip carbon]

The mistakes are more rooted in trass at that point, and I say that because due unbanned some people who shouldn’t have been unbanned

[knotty bramble]

We all have a bunch of people on the team with different timezones

[tulip carbon]

They need clear tos and rules so that mods don’t disagree on things, or at least have consensus on things that are undefined.

[hazy axle]

1. They could hire mods who could be paid a wage which means they have a genuine reason to be here and work and do tickets actively during their time.
2. It would probably be just as effective as having volunteers due to the much more open schedules. Who knows how many they would hire.
3. They could easily compromise and help everyone out by bringing in more people but still allow old mods to help out and maybe come back in the future when they are old enough.

It's not all or nothing we can meet in the middle and help everyone.

[left nebula]

Also communication would be better with fewer mods

[tulip carbon]

But 10 paid mods, maybe even less, can output the same if not more efficiency than the current mod team.

[wary patrol]

So they have to drop a bunch of money on mods?

[knotty bramble]

Some mods probably aren’t as acknowledged on the tos then other mods to be completely honest

Which they should be

[tulip carbon]

However if they added a system for stopping minor moderators from viewing adult content then I think 17 COULD be a good minimum age but risky

[hazy axle]

The amount they make from the game is more than enough to hire a few mods

[tulip carbon]

And they should do one on one like interviews if the person is accepted as like 2 step verification kinda thing

[knotty bramble]

That would be way to complicated

[tulip carbon]

Not really tbh

And if it can be done it should be

[knotty bramble]

Wouldn’t the reporter have to be a certain age as well then like what

Makes no sense dawg

[dense geode]

I've actually thought there should be a AM (Adult Moderator) role in the past.

[tulip carbon]

They could be a victim and have seen it without the intention???

[dense geode]

But how they implement it , I'm not sure on how

[tulip carbon]

That just makes no sense

[tulip carbon]

Almost every adult moderator I’ve seen so far has been way more mature than almost every minor moderator

I mean there’s Mr g

Ryeeper I think

[hazy axle]

One tick box for the reporter to click that marks it visible by only adult mods

[tulip carbon]

I do agree some minor moderators are mature and don’t have bias but

[knotty bramble]

Fair, still don’t see the point in wasting money then having people who would volunteer for free

[tulip carbon]

Hyasf too

[tulip carbon]

Well

As people have said

Not many adults play yeeps

So adult moderation would be hard for that reason

However

[dense geode]

MR G is married haha

[tulip carbon]

If trass hired mods

[dense geode]

He's a AM

[tulip carbon]

Mods are incentivized to work hard, not use bias, and output major efficiency.

[limber jewel]

me no hero… me yes villain 😈 😈

[tulip carbon]

He’s one of my moderator goats

[knotty bramble]

Then we should have revs be 18 plus atp

[dull cedar]

Im gonna be honest my feelings are hurt

[hazy axle]

Im like right there

[dense geode]

We miss MR g

[peak delta]

It should also be actually

[dull cedar]

Agreeded

[left nebula]

What happened to him

[dense geode]

he retired , he has life to worry about now

[tulip carbon]

I thought you were 5 years old mb mb

[knotty bramble]

Retired

[hazy axle]

Oh🥀

[left nebula]

That’s kinda rude @tulip carbon

[knotty bramble]

Dawg I’m joking

Like what

😭

[tulip carbon]

Reviewing is a less important job and I hope we all have the sense to know that. I do agree it would make the reviewers more mature and all, but I don’t think it’s 100% necessary.

[hazy axle]

I mean if you have a genuine reason then yeah im all for it

[limber jewel]

reviewing applications isn’t as important as moderation let’s be fr right now

[knotty bramble]

Keep that same mentality as mod just more Important

[tulip carbon]

While there are certainly some reasons to have reviewers be 18+, it’s not entirely necessary as this is. I don’t know of any cases of reviewers seeing inappropriate content

[tulip carbon]

What

Moderation is heavily more important than reviewing

Nobody’s going to get banned over a review

Just

[knotty bramble]

I mean yes

[tulip carbon]

Miss out on a role or something

[left nebula]

With moderation you have the chance to see nsfw while being a rev you don’t

[knotty bramble]

I never said it wasn’t

[knotty bramble]

That’s just not true…

[tulip carbon]

Disagree with you here

[knotty bramble]

Revs review cc vids dawg

[left nebula]

Oh

[tulip carbon]

Yeah

Though

I don’t know of any cases where it’s happened

[potent star]

I mean I dont think thats happened

[tulip carbon]

If you’ve seen someone who has seen sum really bad or something tho lmk

[potent star]

A cc making an nsfw video

[tulip carbon]

Well I agree it’s possible tho

[potent star]

I feel like it is significantly more likely to see nsfw in a ticket then reviewing a cc vid

[tulip carbon]

Maybe someone was trying to troll reviewers at one point and put something genuinely disgusting

[tulip carbon]

It definitely is

[hazy axle]

you could its very possible youtubes moderation isnt full proof

and someone could just put in a fake link

[potent star]

I mean has it even ever happened before

[left nebula]

Yall leaking rev info

I’m reporting yall

😭 😭 😭

[potent star]

If it has ig thats another issue but still doesnt really mean anything to invalidate this suggestion

[left nebula]

Joking

[hazy axle]

what? this is cc video challange public info

[left nebula]

I’m joking

[scarlet locust]

no

It's not going to happen

Unconfirmed but Im certain

Mod team is too big to start purging 90%

We're too deep into the game

[potent star]

I dont think current under 18 mods should just like be stripped of roles

I think there should be a sub role with alot less perms, no tickets etc

[hazy plaza]

nope

there has been cases that I have dealt with, but not in a ticket

[potent star]

The fact a minor could even have to deal with those cases is 😬

[limber jewel]

yeah

this suggestion is great

[left nebula]

True

[wary patrol]

Hey ax

[limber jewel]

it’s just that mods are taking it the wrong way like they always do

[dull cedar]

Hi Ftb

[wary patrol]

Friend me on discord

-# Before I get hated, we are friends on meta

[scarlet locust]

you don't wanna know what I saw before due and all the community coordinators came in 😮‍💨

Activities and streaming was removed for a long time before we begged them to bring it back

[fossil mortar]

Is that a pineapple emoji

[wary tulip]

i am defiently not an adult, for every moderation role i recieved i was the youngest one when i recieved it

[tulip carbon]

Ah well I certainly think you are quite mature.

Though I’m assuming that came with experiences from moderation?

[wary tulip]

Kinda, i mean i was certainly a lot more immature when i got mod then i am now, and thats because of my experiences. However from the start i had a lot more potential than other mods considering my young age. i was a couple days away from getting senior and mc just 3 months after i got gm in gog, however then i made a mistake and got a strike for it. i still ended up getting senior mod before i turned 14 though lol

[near temple]

No..

[wary tulip]

i believe i am still the youngest mc member even though i am the oldest mc member time wise lol

[near temple]

Bro was mod before 14?

[wary tulip]

it wasn't changed to be 14 till a couple months after i got mod, and steve didn't want to remove people

[stray ravine]

https://klipy.com/gifs/run-115

Aw man

Anyway i dont think it should be 18

It should be 16

But i get why some people think so

[fickle lintel]

0 moderators

[short fern]

Just get new ones
the current ones suck anyways

[upper sandal]

Yeah, some moderators abuse the role/fame.

Beccause they aren't mature enough.

[tulip carbon]

There are multiple mods who are 18+

Also for the love of God

Read the original message.

You clearly didn’t read the part where I provided a method that can get us 18+ mods that are even more efficient than if it were voluntary.

[fickle lintel]

just saying there are no 18 year olds playing yeeps except for some

[deep karma]

im 18

:3

[haughty jay]

Idk abt this

[fast kindle]

hey no saying personal info

[fickle lintel]

but that could lead to very weird behavior with minors sometimes

[tulip carbon]

We already have adult mods tho is what I’m saying

[deep karma]

its in my bio lmao

im pretty open about it

[tulip carbon]

Banned and demoted for breaking the rules smh

[tulip carbon]

If it’s their job… then it doesn’t matter…

Because they can get fired

[pearl agate]

Hm

[tulip carbon]

All you need is like 10 people with basic morals lmao

Which isn’t that hard

[fast kindle]

(he's lying, i swear this guy is older than the age of 1000)

[fickle lintel]

bruv I said sometimes

[haughty jay]

EWWWWW

[tulip carbon]

Well if 10 people have a happy life already and / or basic morals then it wouldn’t happen at all

[fast kindle]

there are many more than you think

[tulip carbon]

They are

[pearl agate]

Oh goodness don’t even get me started with Gomes

[tulip carbon]

They are

They are

[haughty jay]

Gumdrop is stinkyyyy

[fast kindle]

watch yo back gng

[pearl agate]

My biggest concern is that it’d turn into a little too strict

[fickle lintel]

then what if one of them reveals they are really horrible

[tulip carbon]

How do

[tulip carbon]

Fire them

[pearl agate]

Like gtag, it became very sketch

[tulip carbon]

And report them to police

[tulip carbon]

Well I don’t know much about gtag but explain what happens

[fast kindle]

very low amount of mods

[tulip carbon]

They lose their source of income and also freedom lmao

[fast kindle]

they have like 8 lol

[fast kindle]

oh well not anymore they got rid of in game moderators

[tulip carbon]

Ok but like 10 paid moderators with this current like reporting system would be highly efficient

[pearl agate]

Like they don’t understand slang, low amounts of mods, hard to keep up, you say one thing slightly bad you get banned for like 7 days 😭🙏

Reports = ban btw

[tulip carbon]

I’m not saying like Stone Age old lmao

[pearl agate]

I got a 30d for cheating

[tulip carbon]

I’m just saying 18+

[fast kindle]

The reporting system also relies on tickets, 10 mods aren't going to handle tickets well

[pearl agate]

Fair

[tulip carbon]

Its also not entirely hard to keep up with slang

Just ask Google what a word means and look at a few videos and ur good pretty much.

[pearl agate]

That’s my worst argument

lol

But the last should be looked at very closely

[tulip carbon]

If they are constantly waiting to be either pinged because someone said something bad or constantly checking for new tickets since that’s their job, are too many tickets made too fast causing 10 people waiting on pings and tickets for hours straight not gonna be able to handle all of them?

[fast kindle]

I don't understand what this says bro

rephrase

[tulip carbon]

Yeah sorry kinda fell apart there

Basically

[fast kindle]

i beg

[tulip carbon]

If there are 10 paid moderators

They are being paid

[fast kindle]

yes

[tulip carbon]

To handle tickets, and if there are none, wait on them constantly

As well as wait on being pinged if an issue is happening in the server somewhere.

[fast kindle]

they'd need to have mods from different timezones, let's say we had 2-3 mods for different hours of the day, it'd still be quite weak there

[tulip carbon]

I assume 10 mods who are paid to sit there for hours waiting and / or looking into tickets would be enough for however many tickets get made in however much time.

[tulip carbon]

You could do like

3 on a certain 8 hours

3 on another

[pearl agate]

Wait, I’m even thinking of something cool

What if there was 18+ mods, and they would handle the serious topics? Like anything that is REALLY bad, either in discord or in-game. And then the other mods can help keep up with the not so serious stuff if they need help.

[tulip carbon]

And then 4 on the time zone that’s generally most active.

[tulip carbon]

This was suggested, and I agree it would solve the big issue at hand, however it doesn’t solve for poor communication, immaturity, bias, etc.

[fast kindle]

also I'd say that having this minimum age allows for a younger audience to sometimes feel more comfortable communicating with us because we'd be more relatable if we're a closer age to them (if that makes sense)

[pearl agate]

IMO I didn’t see mucb bias or immaturity

[pearl agate]

They were relatively good

[fast kindle]

it's like with teachers, you'd feel more comfortable talking to younger teachers about concerns because they're more relatable

[pearl agate]

Except for gumdrop, you hear about that guy?

[tulip carbon]

If they did add something like that I think we could maybe have the minimum be 17 but that’s still iffy to me. My experience with the age group from 15-18 is like witnessing people slowly immature from their highschool experiences but still immature and biased in some ways leading up to 18.

[fast kindle]

i hate that guy

[tulip carbon]

That’s true but this is moderation not teaching

Also

[pearl agate]

That’s a very good point

[tulip carbon]

18 is generally still young

[pearl agate]

Compared to 10+?

[fast kindle]

We need to answer questions, a lot of questions

[tulip carbon]

The young teachers you speak of are like

18 to in their 20s

[pearl agate]

Ik but as you said, not teaching the majority of Yeeps would never talk to a mod

[tulip carbon]

?

[fast kindle]

We do need to help a lot in clearing up concerns about the game, if it's about updates, moderation, or just other things like where to buy stuff

[pearl agate]

Like 10+ people talking to 18+? If it’s their first time talking?

To a mod

[tulip carbon]

The mods aren’t really meant to be active community members talking in general tho as a full time job

They’re meant to handle business

And do so well

Like due

I don’t think like

It’s so bad to drop in when there aren’t tickets for a while

But I think mods being friends with a ton of community members causes bias issues

[fast kindle]

but yeah I understand your concern about the minimum age thing, but I'd say there's more benefits keeping it as it is now than if it were to be raised

i gtg, have a good day guys

[tulip carbon]

The only benefits is a better relationship between mods and the community, however that does cause bias, and doesn’t solve for the immaturity problem and poor communication issues.

[fierce canopy]

thats the dude from breaking bad

[knotty bramble]

Well we basically already have adult mods on the team so like

Eg

Eh

And there free

No money

😎

[tulip carbon]

…

Doesn’t solve for bias in the system

Poor communication

Or anything else i mentioned

Just because a few are adults

And imagine how happy they’d be to get paid fr

(They’d need to apply as if it were an official job, however trass has seen them in action so I’d say they are more likely over other candidates if they’ve shown out as a good moderator.)

[knotty bramble]

This will always happen

Mistakes can be made?

[tulip carbon]

I agree

However

Those mistakes are severely reduced with a smaller paid mod team

Less people to spread info too

Their job requires them to be up to date on the tos and in game information

And they are less likely to have bias since of course they can get in trouble and possible fired for it.

[misty geode]

too late to do this anyway

maybe in game 3

[knotty bramble]

lol

[stray ravine]

Lowk the nsfw thing makes sense but people under 18 are gonna look at it no matter if theyre a mod or not😭

Its just puberty

[simple epoch]

They can make it not allowed? Chances are they can likely see who has viewed what tickets

So they can make rules and make sure underaged mods don't view nsfw stuff

[crude notch]

It should be 25

Of ages

[wintry trout]

No one plays at that age

[tulip carbon]

I don’t think “too late” exists really

[stray ravine]

Bro the only ppl here older than that is imarainbow and the trass team😭

He is kinda right tho so much mod controversy and whatever already happened so doing this now wouldn't do much

[fierce canopy]

bias and immaturity can be at any age

ive seen adults with heavy bias

and adults who are immature

in fact adults have more bias because of politics

[sick sandal]

They should raise it to 16+ not 18

[ornate turtle]

People would just lie about their age

[left nebula]

They do that aready

[ornate turtle]

And then if they were all adults they would have real jobs and stuff and less time to play Yeeps and stuff

[gaunt oracle]

Idk if it was already said but it would be harder for 11 yr olds to try to act like an 18 yr old

[ornate turtle]

Yeah and they would keep doing it

[left nebula]

They do it so much aready

[gaunt oracle]

So many 12 yr old want to be mods and just say they are 14 because the age gap is so small

[winter rover]

There's not a lot of 18 yr olds that play

It should be like 16+ for mod

[kindred quartz]

The only problem is, will people be playing the game at 18+?

And they will most likely have a job or college

[worn plank]

i feel like 15-16+ would be fair for mod tbh

[potent star]

I do

So yes

Not too often tho ig

[left nebula]

This thread is getting pretty popular

Ngl

[torpid flicker]

ONly problem is the fact of how small the 18+ playerbase is

[inland skiff]

I'm the 100th ✨ !

[left nebula]

Finally we hit 100

[grim vale]

Lowk rage bait tho

[left nebula]

Wym

[tribal ridge]

16+ seems alright. They should be responsible since people of that age can have a car.

[tulip carbon]

I’m not saying it can’t

Also why do I get the MOST pings when I’m on a plane ride

Anyways I’m on a vacation in Cali. DO NOT PING ME in this thread and I will block you until I’m done with my vacation if you do, regardless of who you are.

[hazy axle]

And we have school. people can find time in their schedule just like we do between out of class and other stuff

[kindred quartz]

Who at the right age of 18 will play the game consistently

[hazy axle]

Literally me I'm about to be

And if it's a hired position people will do the work

[kindred quartz]

The most people that play the game are 10-13

[hazy axle]

And you know the other half of the demographic of 13-17

[kindred quartz]

But this post is about raising the min. mod age to 18, so that's irrelevant

Also how can it be a half if most people are between 10-13

Take your time

[hazy axle]

Yes, but this post is also arguing for protection of the younger moderation. I don't think it is best to just out right remove them. I believe we should protect the community but still compromise to allow it to grow and be together. I've covered this a few times above if you wish to look, and sorry if I had come across rude at first hopefully I didn't

[kindred quartz]

It should be 16

[left nebula]

That’s way to low

[kindred quartz]

16

Misclick

[shy moth]

Yes but no one is going to play the game at 18...

Unless they're hired/paid

[twilit forum]

i am iceman

[gusty gull]

tbh i think 16+ would be fair

[hidden haven]

how old is it rn?

[gusty gull]

14+

[hidden haven]

oh what

orion drift staff apps are 15+ and most of them are mature

def raise that

wait i just realized ur gwd mod

[gusty gull]

yeah lol

[hidden haven]

im a rookie coach lol

[gusty gull]

nice

[tulip carbon]

@shy moth

[shy moth]

Oh wait sorry

[left nebula]

Can I ping you lunarr

[tulip carbon]

Read

Not in here

Idc if you dm me

[hidden haven]

it should DEF not be 14+ def higher

[tulip carbon]

But give me some days peace for now

[left nebula]

Ok

Sorry

I didn’t mean to ping

Oh I didn’t notice we’re at 100 star reactions

[fluid crown]

wait what controversy?

[scarlet locust]

18 is not that unc bruh 😭

[pearl agate]

Ok SOME of the things were off

I wrote this in the car

after being in it for 7h

[foggy bronze]

Sorry, I don’t have good memory, but did you used to be moderator?

[left nebula]

He did

[wooden zodiac]

YES.

Im crine 28 people under the age of 18 ❌ reacted

[snow pasture]

This is a great idea, yet the only downside I'd the fact there will be less moderators. Nonetheless a good idea though.

[gilded sonnet]

Bro what

[wooden schooner]

The ones from people in DM's

it's a common occurrence

[wooden schooner]

ask alfie kade chillflops and they'd probably say yes

[pure lake]

i ain't reading all that vro😐

[sour rune]

You had moderator WAY before 18

[deep karma]

I mean yeah

[solid crater]

Unc

Jk

I’ll be there in 4 years

-# AHHHHHHHHHHHHHH

[stray ravine]

Ok

So

I didnt agree fully with this at first

But i fully do

This is because any adult allowing or distributing or any sorts of nsfw to a minor is a federal crime

So trass would probably face charges for letting it happen

Its called obscensity

But

This alters in countries

This is US law ^^

Btw happy 250 for my patriots!

[clear elbow]

why is this post still active

do people not want more mature mods

[winter knoll]

At least 15

[blazing glade]

I've seen a lot of adults being immature it doesn't really matter

oh also most adults would be busy because they might have jobs or even go to college

[blazing glade]

I told you stop 7 times already (but funnier)

[tiny harbor]

I think it should be lowered to 13-

[left nebula]

😭 😭 😭

[sick sandal]

We are fried

[clear elbow]

yeah i've seen mature 12 year olds so that's a fair descision to make

[tulip carbon]

Bro I said don’t ping me

I’m in Cali rn

[clear elbow]

plus, 13+ people might be busy doing high school stuff or whatever

[tiny harbor]

My cousin would make a better mod than some people I know

[tulip carbon]

And by no means do I want to witness the bs comments

[clear elbow]

anyone would bro 😭

[tiny harbor]

😭

[tulip carbon]

Bro what

How much has your brain been deteriorated.

[tiny harbor]

Dms

[left nebula]

Ok

[spring mango]

I think it should be something like 16+ because otherwise most of the mods are 💀

[grim vale]

Yeah

[tulip carbon]

I’ve asked yall to not ping me

Until I’m off vacation

So

[wintry trout]

I didn’t know that

👁️👄👁️

[tulip carbon]

Alg just don’t do it again please

[wintry trout]

Turn your notifications off?

In this suggestion

Or do you

[versed orchid]

Or just add senior moderators

[thick sail]

And 18+ is bad for dm also because of collage and other stuff, 16+ would probably be the ideal age not 18+.

[thick sail]

GM should stay at 14+

[stray ravine]

Now this makes sense

They are dealing with little kids anyway💔

Game is 7 yr olds

[thick sail]

Lmao

[toxic veldt]

GM 14+ DM 16+

IMO

Of course this would mean redoing the ENTIRE Discord moderation department and selecting brand new mods

[obtuse ginkgo]

needs a redo anyway

discord moderation is very bad

[toxic veldt]

Think what you think, but Id like to disagree even though I’m on the team.

[obtuse ginkgo]

okay

[frozen tapir]

This might be valid

[hexed pike]

not trying to be rude but shouldn't minors just get more like responsible instead having to wait a few or more years to become like lab rat? Cuz shouldn't they have the right to play the role they want

[coarse lion]

didnt read all it but the title sounds bad since this game is mostly minors

[left nebula]

😭 😭 😭

[coarse lion]

froney look out theyre trying to false ban you in particular

[civic raven]

Dont Ping Devs

[wary patrol]

He isn’t a dev

[civic raven]

Still Don`t Ping Them If not Needed

[civic raven]

One More Thing He Is a Team of Trass/Mod's And as It Say Only Ping Mods If Needed But You Only Asked If There Tinking About Adding This And Its Not That Importent To Ping Them So Still Don't Ping Any Mods if Not Really Needed

[normal crypt]

Due has stated in the past that he's ok with people pinging him in suggestions

[civic raven]

I Coulde't Find Any Imformation on It In Any So That way I Coulden Know If it Was True/False So i Can't Know Of Pinging is Valid or Invalid . . .

[normal crypt]

I'll try to find the message but it could take a bit

[civic raven]

Okay Thanks :>

[spare hare]

what is this grammars

Why Is Your Grammar Like This

[civic raven]

Because Have You Ever Heard of Dyslexia

or Something

[normal crypt]

#1513283248355278948 message Here is him being ok with a ping, I couldn't find the exact message but he's good with it

[wary patrol]

He did, oh, im his friend

K bro

[pastel echo]

Because Potassium

[clear elbow]

this is the top 1 reason i don't want to play deltarune

[prime hull]

What its a good but challenging game

[onyx cove]

no one would voluntarily do this they would just have fo hire alot of folks like gomes

[elder pivot]

what if your a mod and your not 18? you still got into it so wont be fair

[scarlet locust]

That’s why Trass will more than likely not do this

[elder pivot]

[scarlet locust]

Plus it’s too much work

[visual mirage]

This wouldn’t make sense most adults have better things to do than moderate a kids game 🥀

[scarlet locust]

Too late now

I like the suggestion and hope they consider it

[balmy nimbus]

mods arent the only people who are exposed to it

[blazing glade]

exactly

[balmy nimbus]

also, yeeps is only AA so i doubt they have enough money to pay as much moderators as they have even minimum wage

[hazy axle]

Well they could set younger mods to a new role and set new hired adults to be the only ones able to view nsfw tickets

[stray ravine]

Or make 14+ mods limitied to JR mod

[hazy axle]

Jr mod is mod in training these are already fully trained mods

[crude notch]

Imarainbow should be a mod

[crude notch]

What about 24 🤔

[stray ravine]

He doesn't have interest in it

[crude notch]

I'll be a mod maybe

Idk

[sand aurora]

we gotta raise it to 100 frfr

[median temple]

@tulip carbon w idea?

[uneven bay]

I think 16 is a valid age cause not that many people that are over 18 have much time to play games yk?

[coral cape]

raise it to 15-16

[stray ravine]

Then only i could be mod and ion want mod😔

[scarlet locust]

Let's just make everybody mods

Then we don't gotta moderate anyone

[normal crypt]

Finally, one singular reasonable person in this thread

[stray ravine]

Eren yeager take

Kinda

Because eren wanted all races dead to have no racism

All mods to be no moderation

https://klipy.com/gifs/spy-tf2-22

[clear elbow]

syndrome incredibles take

he wanted everyone to be super so no one would be

[scarlet locust]

Literally NOT the same thing 😭

[stray ravine]

I mean you could find some sort of correlation righttttt

[obtuse ginkgo]

remove moderation

[surreal laurel]

This seems unfair to the people who have already earned mod and have dumped hours of their life into it

[tulip carbon]

If you care about a role that you have no significant gain from that bad then it’s a problem tbh

But again

Not arguing this on vacation rn

So bye

[surreal laurel]

Not necessarily I mean many mods have poured a couple 100 hours into the role that would suck to have all of that just stripped away

[tulip carbon]

I understand but get over it

Not like it’s a 40 year marriage or sum lmao

I’ve had the same thing happen to me before but with games where they die out after I pour in a lot

Moral of the story is to never get attached to material things like games or roles.

[surreal laurel]

Eh still I think it’s unfair and not necessarily needed they could just look into corruption more

[sand aurora]

mc be crying rn

[scarlet locust]

the greatest wills require the strongest sacrifices

Elite marvel reference

did I even say that right

[sullen merlin]

No

😭

[left nebula]

Hi

[proper crypt]

We got to do this for labrats too

[left nebula]

Why

[wise thunder]

only 15+

[wise thunder]

dawg no

[proper crypt]

There are too many underaged labrats

[left nebula]

There’s legitimately no reason to raise labrat age

There’s a bunch of reasons to raise mod age

[proper crypt]

Like 14+

[left nebula]

It’ll just make more underage labrats apply

[proper crypt]

Peak name

[normal crypt]

What’s the point of raising it by a single year?

[proper crypt]

Then at least make the application system better

[left nebula]

It’s as good as it can be 😭

[proper crypt]

Ai detection is horrible

[left nebula]

How would you know

[proper crypt]

There are a bunch of people who act under 13 in the lab rat chat

And I’m pretty sure 1 confessed to using ai

[left nebula]

There’s over 100 people applying

Some are gonna get through the cracks

[proper crypt]

I guess

[halcyon moss]

I actually like this ya

[scarlet locust]

We want ppl to apply for Lab Rat

That's the point lol

Test beta version and find bugs

report

Release map

Cycle all over again

[vestal edge]

js shut up

[near temple]

?

[vestal edge]

What,i dont mean you

[vestal edge]

He said we should raise the limit to +18

[crude solstice]

he said 14+ tho

[vestal edge]

Oh

[wooden schooner]

you know the application is not supposed to be hard right?

it's not supposed to be easy, but the application wasn't designed for it to be impossible to get in

[dense wasp]

i like cheese😁

[left nebula]

Hi

[solid crater]

No because I’m not waiting another 4 years to apply twin

Also, that would make it unpaid labor

So

[left nebula]

It’s aready unpaid

😭 😭 😭

[dull robin]

Nah

Stop bro

[dull robin]

Nah cause they also said make it full time

🥀

[peak delta]

Who cares if most of the mods will get erased, this is needed

[sand aurora]

we gotta lower labrat to 0 so 8 billion people can beta test for yeeps frfr

[limber copper]

I think 16 would be better, especially with how kinda immature the mods have been acting lately.

[frigid oracle]

I can't name you a single person over the age of 15 who plays yeeps

And I can't name anyone who can

[limber copper]

Cause most of them got a

[frigid oracle]

Yeah which is why it would be basically impossible to get 15+ people to be mods

[limber copper]

Ye

But still

[hearty oracle]

I'm sure it's at least possible

[limber copper]

18 is a little too high

[frigid oracle]

I do agree that 18 is too high

But a simple way to fix this is to not raise the age minimum but to change the reviewing process

[limber copper]

Yea

And also go a little more serious about it instead of making immature jokes

[frigid oracle]

Yes

[scarlet locust]

You would be surprised

I don't play the game really

[misty geode]

yo chill 😅

[frigid oracle]

just throwing in my 10 cents

[brisk path]

😭

[brisk path]

Why not 50 cent?

[frigid oracle]

They gotta pay for that

[brisk path]

I’ll raise and bet 2$

[hazy axle]

Gang we exist and there's quite a few of us

[mellow wyvern]

who is we?

just you twin

[hazy axle]

What 💀 the game came out 2 years ago and meta at the time was 13+ almost all the players that were 13 and still playing are going to be 15 thats quite a few players

[mellow wyvern]

over 15

not 15

[hazy axle]

Well if we're being technical there all over 15 if we look past just year dates

[mellow wyvern]

your still 15 tho

which is lwk unc

[hazy axle]

Um what?

I'm a few years past that now

[mellow wyvern]

few years 😭

damm

holy unc

[hazy axle]

Just check my bio lol

[mellow wyvern]

17????

nah that’s crazy

[hazy axle]

I'm also at work on break

[mellow wyvern]

surprised you can still play vr at that age

actually I’m surprised you know how to use a phone

that’s unc

[hazy axle]

How is that surprising there are YouTubers in their 20s still playing

[mellow wyvern]

idk

usually people die of old age at that point

[left nebula]

😭 😭 😭 no they don’t

[hearty oracle]

W ragebait

[left nebula]

Huh

[hearty oracle]

douserdualies is W ragebaiting
