We all have the option to resign if we want to participate. I respect the admins decision. This is the early stages of this community, right now, it is crucial that we have nothing of the sort like a moderator scamming. Not saying the current mods will, but it is always a possibility and that isn't good for the image of a newer site. I agree it sucks for rare as he has a lot of feedback and trust. I also just started in the market two days before it was found that we weren't allowed in it. It sucked deleting my own feedback. I also feel like people seeing a moderator status gives them the inclination of trust which it should in my opinion. If we are trusted to moderate the forums. I feel that we should be allowed. I just would hate to see someone scammed, especially by the a staff member. One scammed is one to many.
