    This entire game has pretty much been run by survivor mains.

    I think it's time we start getting mods with fresh perspectives.

    Or more importantly, someone who isn't afraid to speak about how horribly balanced the game is.

    That's not what a mod does or is supposed to do, mods act as impartial towards both sides, they also have nothing to do with game management or development.

    If you look at the mods on here they don't post with any of that bias at all. They don't go into a thread and say well this thread is survivor biased lets bash them etc type of thing.

    I think you misunderstand my words.

    As far as I know, mods uphold the forum rules and act as arbiters during discussions (mostly making sure conversations stay civil).

    I'm sure Tsulan is perfectly capable of that. He's been very thoughtful with his responses on the forums.

    That said, mods definitely have their opinions about the game. I see them making comments regarding balance all the time.

    It just so happens that I disagree with them on a number of issues.

    I'd like to see someone who represents a different outlook on the game.

    That's not to say Tsulan would shove his opinions down everyone's throat. His main job would be to act as a mod.

    I definitely hope they keep game perspective out of the equation. Things will go down hill if they don't.

    Mods shouldn't be chosen because of outspoken opinions. They should be chosen for how they carry themselves and how they interact with other users.

    Hopefully Tsulan is past the days of getting upset by downvotes because being a moderator will subject him to criticism that is much worse, assuming he is a candidate.

    I have no doubt that Tsulan can keep his personal views to himself.

    But I definitely think you make a good point. If we're aiming for true impartiality, then mods should keep their opinions out it.

    I've been looking at the For Honor forums and the mods there are quite different.

    Even when the issue of balance comes up, they say something along the lines of "As far as the dev team is concerned, this hero is an a good spot. But we'll closely monitor the situation".

    Perhaps the mods should be more like that?

    I think a mod should be able to express his personal opinion like @Peanits does.
    We are all humans with our own opinions and not corporate robots which can´t talk for themselfes.

    Oh, I don't mind if mods chime in with their opinions.

    I assumed it was allowed considering we have mods now that are doing it.

    But Visionmaker raised a pretty good point. It's probably best if the mods stayed out of the conversation.

    That way you don't open a can of worms.

    A mod's opinion will influence more than any other opinion just because comes from a mod, that's why should be focused only on moderating.

    Yup, that's what mods usually do IF they need to reply to an important issue. Most of the time you can't even notice they are there.

    Welp.....lol

    I nominate Tsulan.

    This forum could use some good killer mains.

    I'd nominate @Jack11803 but I don't know if the forums could handle his hotness.

    That’s HAWT!

    Yeah being a mod would cut down on my sarcastic quotient dramatically, I might go into withdrawal and ask @Jack11803 for counseling.and to fill in for me. 😁

    I don't think being a mod for the Dead By Daylight community is easy. You need to be mentally strong to be able to face trolls, toxicity on a daily basis. Filtering toxicity here is like exposing yourself to harmful radiation. I have great respect for the mods who actually do this job.

    Yeah, same here. I’m WAY to flippant to be a mod.

    I don’t feel threatened by this, “radiation”. Am I the radiation!?

    I live next to a nuclear powerplant. I don´t need lights to pee in the dark. I can handle that! :p

    Flippant to the end huh, well I expected that. This bad joke o meter will measure the corniness of your one liners. When the rating hand gets to zero.

    I've so wanted to use that forever and I can't find the darn video clip for it. But I know you'll get the reference.

    Those are good suggestions and I'm wondering how much laughter we're giving the mods/devs for free? We should be getting free auric cells for the free entertainment value here. 😎

    It would be cool if you could make a resume, kinda like how you sign up for a job. Tell them why they should let you have a chance and make you a mod. :)

    I would sell all those aurics on the black market, and crush the DbD skins economy.
