If he stops updating his sales go down leading to an inevitable fail. Don't protect Badspot for something that isn't even arguing about and I think he can take care of himself.

He makes 10$ per person about, half goes to garage games and other stuff.
Moderators are not a good idea, nooby topics just die normaly. And even when stuff get moved, its usually because people derail it.

more mods mean less image spam

Being in control of a website is much differant then the forums. On the forums, the moderator knows that people "have to" treak him/her with respect. Being a moderator is a threat to other players. If Badspot chose another moderator, it should be someone who helped make the game.

They believe the Forum, our only way of real communication with eachother besides the Blockland chat, shouldn't be stuffted up all day long by people that think this is a spam board that no gives a damn about.

See and you take this stuff so seriously for some reason. Let me ask you what do you think is stuff? Next, let me ask you, does any of that "stuff" break the rules? If you can't tie the two together then I guess you'll just have to put up with your "stuff" because it won't be dealt with. There will be no need, YOU will think it's "stuff", what if I turn around and say it isn't? What if half the community is for the fact that it's "stuff" and the other half is for the fact it isn't? What then? If you leave it alone then half the community get's pissed, if you do something about it the other half gets pissed.
It would be allot less dramatic and less useless work in every sense if you didn't try to deduce whether it's "stuff" from how everyone feels about it and instead if it's actually 100% certified stuff based on whether it breaks any rules, regardless of what anyone thinks. Now everything is so much easier for everyone, just don't break the rules and you don't get in trouble, way easier then trying to deduce what a moderator wants/doesn't want personally, unless you have telepathic powers.
Like I said, it's a chill place about a chill game where you build with blocks in a non-stressful chill environment. You can simply ignore topics you don't like. It's better then having a moderator running around locking topics that don't fit nicely in their section and banning people for absurd things.
Let's look at a different question that I'll ask everyone that seems to disagree with me (even though no actual reply to my reply was made stating that):
If Oasis became a moderator, the only moderator, would you simply stop frequenting the place? Seriously would you want this guy running around banning people? The fact that it's Oasis doesn't really matter either, you could take any doofus in Clan Discussion, give them moderator and the end result would be exactly the same and just as disastrous. Please take both sides of the argument into consideration, that he MIGHT make the place a little bit better for you (probably not) and that now you'll have a new set of invisible rules made by him to which you'll have to abide, also they won't be written anywhere and/or will be completely nonsensical to atleast 2/3 of the community
