Chat Moderators needed!

As the titles states, there needs to be some mods asgeneral chat is full of people being detrimental to the enjoyment of others, especially when I try to help people.|||All of the community is able to help by taking screen shots and reporting ppl that are not following the code. Im sure they are very busy now that the game has released, making it harder to monitor loads of more ppl. Outstanding community members such as yourself and others like you, do loads to help. Even by ignoring, muting, or even creating a new tab entirely, it may seem like not enough, but really makes a world of difference.|||

We have a handful of mods who do try to get on the game when possible, however with all the different shards there simply aren't enough eyeballs to go around all the time.

As mentioned, please email us withscreenshotsif users are causing trouble.

I strongly support this, I don't see why you need payed reps for this.

Alot of free2play games use mature community members for this, and sometimes offer minor bonuses for performing the task.

All such a Community Chat Mod would need is the Ability to Mute players for various amounts of time, and possibly a way ofdirectly contactinga official (trough msn/xfire what ever)in extreme cases.

I know I would be more then willing to be such a mod, as I've been one in the past for both Aeria games, and Age of Conan (for a short period of time).

Don't care much for rewards for doing such, though they might be a incentive for others, I would be more then happy just being a part of stabilizing the chat.

As it is now It is rather horrid, and I am willing to guees more then a few players have quit based on the way they have been threated.

|||This ^ I'd be willing to volunteer too, some of the stuff being said in chat is disgusting.|||I completely agree. The first thing I do when I login is switch to my ticker tab. It gets way out of hand.
|||If you want to help monitor the in-game chat - please take screenshots of the offense and send them to community@ageofempiresonline.com. Alternately, you can message mods in-game to alert us of bad behavior in any server, although please still take screenshots!

|||I just try and help as best as I can. Report and mute people, and tell people to do the same so they don't get in trouble by doing the same as the offender(s). Then I hope the mods show the offender(s) no mercy ;P

I am sorry to say, the screenshot "system" is no system at all, means the player who notices poor behavior etc, has to jump to a bunch of hoops to just to report this.

Which in most cases means, he decides to actually play the game he payed for, rather then doing the mods job.

Line of events:

1: Notice spammer (for example)

2: Screenshot

3: Upload.

4: Send.

5: 4 weeks pass, the payed mod finally got trough the pile of screenshots (most of which contained useless data) and reach the screenshot in question.

6: Accused player gets 5 min mute.

My point ischat issues need to be dealt withthere and then, when they happen.

If you allowfor itto go on for weeks, like it looks like it will, then other people jump on the bandwagon, wethers its out of annoyance at the other people doing, or any other reason.

I must also ask, don't mods have access to the actual logs of the chat?
