Regarding the recent dispute about coordinators and moderators.

Dear forum members, there's a lot of work to be done on the forum, and it's not always possible to get everything done on time. But we're not a defense industry enterprise, so it's not a big deal if a flood thread stays up for 3 days.

After all, everyone has their own interests. Some people come to improve their skills in Heroes 3, others in Heroes 5, some come to find worthy opponents and good mentors, and some mostly hang out in the flood/entertainment threads, and so on.
And if you don't see activity in the sections you don't visit, it doesn't mean there's no activity at all.
And even more so, work like organizing tournaments takes place outside the forum; only the results, etc., are posted here.
Therefore, it's easy to form a distorted opinion about the work of moderators and coordinators, who (and here's the important part) work on a voluntary basis.

Unfortunately, among all the arguments, I only noticed and understood a couple of useful suggestions:

1. Let's have more moderators who are actively involved in their respective sections (which has recently been actively promoted by the community; I hope the Creator will respond and be accommodating).
2. Let's get rid of moderators who rarely appear on the forum, let alone in their sections (it would be good to conduct an inventory of moderators every six months).

Because, unfortunately, even moderators and coordinators are just people...
I may be wrong, but as far as I remember, Alan also left his positions due to lack of time.
I agree with Alan's indignation and his defense of his interests; everything is clear. For me, this dispute is pointless (I know about the work of both firsthand).
And saying "I did this, but you didn't" is not the right approach; there's more than enough work, and each coordinator has their own priorities.

As a moderator, I personally like Kyle the most.
And I respect those moderators who don't delete entire posts but only edit the flood content within the post.

In general, we continue to work in the usual mode. If you have any useful suggestions, please send them in a private message to the coordinators.

P.S. By the way, in the "Suggestions and Improvements" thread... I don't remember any of the suggestions being implemented in the last six months
