Lingxin: Is there a difference between them and actual forums moderators? If nothing happens I rely on my support ticket which is still pending since last week.
_Auster_: Afaik, developers in this forum are the people who develop the game, while moderators are the ones that need to keep the forum in order.
And developers' messages in the forum have yellow/orange text, while moderators' are blue.
And if the user allows DM, you can drag the mouse over the user's avatar and click in the "start conversation" option. If they don't allow it, the option will be greyed out.
(edit: typo)
Thank you very much for this information and clarification about the questions I had.
My conclusion is that the forums in question are indeed lacking proper moderation. The developer who is supposed to take care of it/at least showed signs to take care of it has not the option to be contacted.
Which leaves me hoping that moderators would get active based on the support ticket I have sent. I am a little reluctant on seeking out a moderator, after noticing that me reporting posts as spam did not seem to work as a call out for a need of moderation. I was already reluctant using that option while I would see those posts in questions more as verbal harassment and bad insults with their nazi comparison.
I hope at least the support ticket might get a moderator to help out there. At least once a week or so.
