I was searching through the Mediators list to find the individual that wasn't any help for me. I am glad to announce she is no longer listed.
I saved pm's of people telling me their jewels are dupes, and links to duped jewels trade lists in their signature.
Clearly breaking the rules.
Unfortunately, nothing was done regarding the matter. Not even a returned pm.
If you cannot moderate your rules, either your enforcers are lack or the rules themselves are "wack."
With over 500,000 Active and passionate jsp members, you must be able to find someone who is willing to do their job, and do it well.
I believe the tag, "moderator," is too easy to hide behind. It should be reserved for those who are willing to do their work.
If there is no compensation for being a moderater, then those tagged should be expendable. You should almost Enforce your own rule system for Moderators.
It becomes a matter of their word over the public jsper's voice. This should not ever be a battle in a well functioning community.
In the case of the LLD community, I believe there should be a no nonsense policy regarding duped jewels.
The community used to thrive on the fact that there was a passion for "self mfing" (without the use of bots,) to find "trophies."
If those trophies are now targeted by dupers with offers in excess of 20kfg + extra copies of the jewel + anonymity, even those we regard as well respected could succumb to the temptation.
I recently turned down such an offer, however will not release information publicly. My own passion for the community and the very "sport" of very low level dueling held me back.
You can't put a price on ruining something you are passionate about.
And it's a beautiful jewel
