Our Issues. (12/6/2009)

There are a few issues on foopets right now, but which is the biggest? It could be the growing FooPet population. However, that's getting a bit better. The Selling isn't really going down, but the buying is going UP. True, people need to stop breeding random pets that really arent going to sell because no one wants them right now. However, there is no harm in breeding pets that people are actually willing to BUY.

The beggars have also gone down to a tolerable level. At least most people asking for free handouts nowadays are being level-headed and asking instead of insisting they "need it", and going on and on after you deny them. They actually give up!

The twilight fans and topics have been growing and growing, but that is STILL not the largest issue right now.

What IS the largest issue?

People thinking they are ambassadors. A few members of the foopets community have been selected by the foocrew to be their Moderators, and since then, EVERYONE has had the sense that they were give that power as well. Well, they haven't. Average members really just need to stop thinking they have the right to tell the rest of us whats-what. It doesn't increase your chances of becoming an actual ambassador, so give it up. People flag posts inappropriate, and people's posts get killed. For what? Because someone wanted the ego-trip that comes with bossing others around and getting praised for it.

People who act like Mods get a sense of accomplishment out of it. However, there is no reason for it. If someone is breaking a rule, obviously it is OK to correct them, but after one person has done so, there is no reason to jump on that persons back anymore! When someones thread turns into several people just telling them what they have done wrong, it can really upset people. Especially 12 and 13 year old children. They are on this game to have fun, not get yelled at.

Also, if the topic is in the wrong forum, just MENTION it. Tell them to (in the future) make sure it is in the right place. For now, though LET THE TOPIC BE! If it needs to be moved, an ambassador WILL move it. That's what they're here for. Overall, just don't take it upon yourself to do someone else's job, it really just upsets people.
