EVALUATE MY BATTLING!

TRAINER TIPS:
→ This is encouraged, not mandatory. We will not penalize you for not using it.
→ Feel free to link your personal HMDs if you would like, just in case someone doesn't want to use the mass HMD post.
→ this is more for actual critique and discussion. Please don't just blindly praise a person or just call them horrible. If someone's doing a wonderful job, you can tell them, just tell them why, or even where they're showing off bonus perks. If someone's doing a not-so-wonderful job, tell them why, give them things to improve on if you can. Examples, links, things that can give them something to work on. Meaning, no bashing, flaming, or nasty behavior. Please keep it civil.
→ Anonymous is turned on! But note: anonymous is a privilege, not a right. If it's being abused to bash players, please be sure to let one of us know and we'll step in or freeze threads if necessary. If anonymous is abused too much, it will be turned off for the next HMD.
→ Don't take this all too personally! Remember that roleplay is a game, and crit is supposed to help, not make you feel horrible. No one is perfect, we've all got room to improve. Please keep that in mind.

I know it's that time of year so things are hectic, but it still leaves players feeling anxious when some of us aren't aware exactly what's going on with the mod team all the time. Maybe that's a thing that can be addressed later, a notice somewhere on the mod journal that if a mod is on a hiatus they can raise a little flag by their name or something, I don't know. Since Route doesn't have a irc, official aim chatroom that's active, or even a mod plurk, we only have the OOC comm to rely on for that stuff, and sometimes people have no idea that folks go on hiatus until they need them for something. That's pretty bad when it's a mod they're looking for!

But yeah, I want to believe in the mods as well and am doing my best to remain hopeful. I just felt after seeing that that I could at least kind of... explain where they might be coming from, I guess? I don't want any of this to result in everyone insulting the mods, since I've been here for a pretty long time and Sunny in particular is a real trooper and pretty damn amazing for going as long as she has.

I'm just anxious and a little frustrated because of it all, so I'm really really hoping they can shift things out of neutral and into a higher gear soon.

A few snippy comments aside, I think it's good that players are talking about what they want to see. I think preferably it would've been nicer for anyone that these didn't kind of dogpile on here like they did, haha. But I've got confidence that the mods are going to do their best to make some changes!
