AMA Ask The Mods!

[JellyjamLu]

It's great that you're still here! I thought you were deleting your account yesterday. Don't do it, you are very welcome here and don't just give up. Mood swings come and go I know that feeling well. If I had paid more attention a year ago, I would still have my very first account, dany28. But I also behaved like a small child. Oh, shame on me!

I for one think you are both cool. I don't expect everyone here to be perfect, if you were, then it would be concerning.
------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
As for my Ask A Mod idea:

I always thought a weekly RGT game challenge would be cool.

A mod posts a challenge that runs for only one day in a week.
Random game
Linked to either a trophy/ingame points/scoreboard.
Users take an in-game screenshot to submit to the thread. (no cheating via retroarch etc)

Raw example:

WEEK 1 CHALLENGE: "Here I am doing everything I can"

Game: Tony Hawk Pro Skater
Platform: Dreamcast
Post your highest score!
Level: Warehouse
2:00 minutes default time Limit rule
(Submissions end March 8th)
Mod highlights the winner, locks thread by start of March 9th

Did I go too far... why yes, yes i believe I did.

Well, thank you for the compliment, I really needed one. I hope you have a great day.

Good morning, I just wanted to ask a question about Windows games. The virus

Sure thing. Ask away!

Will be more Emojis be added to the like button or will it stay the same amount ?
As I personally would love to see more added like a confused emoji or thumbs down Emoji for disapproval instead of just having the pissed off Emoji,

but I am contempt either way and it was more thought as a suggestion/question.

There's definitely plans, but they all depend on whether RGT's personal pixel art God decides to keep making them -- if he makes more, we will definitely add them!

... But the "dislike" (thumbs down) reaction was removed about a year ago, and for good reason -- it would be a bit useless, that one.

Okay, there's one thing I'd like to know. Why did you accept me here? Because you must surely think I'm a nutcase who's incapable of managing an account. Explain to me what's behind it. Or do you have any plans? Don't get me wrong but I've started to think about it a bit. I don't expect an immediate answer but take your time and explain it to me.

Because you are not a bad person, nor do you go against what RGT is supposed to be.

You don't knowingly (and consistently) break every rule for the lolz. You don't throw slurs around but are too cowardly to say them upfront (which was an entire subset of RGT membership for a while); you don't send vastly inappropriate messages to the forum's female population. You don't really fight people all that much, either.

If you are worried about having multiple accounts, that's a non-issue. Some of us do as well and it's not against the rules.

I wish you didn't delete yours so often, but you are solid.

Here's my ultimate question: What do you think of my "good morning" comments on people's chat rooms, and what do you like about me?And why do new games always appear in the repository?And why do the games always appear in the new games section of the repository?PC games have viruses.

Those are nice! But you should probably limit them to those receptive to them (ie, those who have responded positively to them). Love the initiative, though.

And why do new games always appear in the repository?

Because the Curators rule!

Most likely a false positive, but tell us exactly what kind of virus you say you are getting -- files are tested throughly before uploading.

what do you like about me?

You are cool, funny and active.

Okay, thank you for the explanation. Have a great day. Sorry to bother you with this question.I wish you a good day, sometimes I talk too much.

 

[thumbsdown's iconthumbsdown]

And speaking of which, this might not be exciting for everyone, but I think we're going to start screening for one or two new mods.

Dream team: Tonberry and Glimbo. I know I have nothing to say on it tho lol...

And speaking of which, this might not be exciting for everyone, but I think we're going to start screening for one or two new mods. This should shake things up nicely, and help us manage the workload as the community continues to grow. I'm very excited about that. :]

My time to shine has arrived

 

[Retro Doomer]

Dream team: Tonberry and Glimbo. I know I have nothing to say on it tho lol...

I hope not I am fine with the current Mod set up as it is.

 

[thumbsdown's iconthumbsdown]

"This might be not exciting for everyone", Kamako said... let's see, I guess.

I hope I won't rage quit the game before reaching level 7, tho.

We can use more mods and keeping the current line up

Yes, this. I was just referring to new additions I'd like to see since they're indeed (de-facto) problem solvers in this community.

 

[Waffles's iconWaffles]

One of them has already agreed and I think you are all going to be pleasantly surprised by who it is... ;D!

 

[thumbsdown's iconthumbsdown]

pleasantly

thank god

 

[Retro Doomer]

Tonbery not really I had some hed butting with him and him gaslighting me in a Ai debate it was like talking to a wall so I would not be a fan of him becoming a mod.

No need to spoil it right?

Who the hell is teone?

 

[thumbsdown's iconthumbsdown]

My goat.

 

[Waffles's iconWaffles]

Indeed. We have grown to have traditions that cannot be rushed (and we also tend to wait on Spike to boost their accounts).

Also bring the goat back (Teone fanboy forever).

Big, big fan of the guy but it was his personal decision to step down and we have to honor it.

 

[Retro Doomer]

My goat.

You own a goat ;) ?

 

[Elwiwi]

My goat.

Never met him

 

[thumbsdown's iconthumbsdown]

Never met him

Nor do I, such a legend!

Thank you, It's really good to hear something like that. That gives self-confidence. Yes, that's true, I'm really a coward sometimes and prefer to hide in the dark rather than face things.

 

[Evaccaneer Doom]

Yes, actually -- I still have my sights set on adding some sort of post-based "store" for people to buy trinkets and further customization for their profiles, paid for with the fruits of their regular participation on the boards.

It's still on the fine-tuning stage

RGT-tan body pillow badge confirmed?! (jk, an RGT-tan badge is enough)
