nnySome days I just really dislike being a mod on Milliways.
I adore the game, I love my co-mods, I have a stupid amount of affection for the characters I play, for the characters of others, and for the extraordinary muns I've met there.
And yet, no matter what I do, and no matter how hard I try, there are people who will never trust me purely on the basis of... I don't even know, actually. It can't really be precedent, because we've only made a few huge mistakes, and every time we've apologised for them. Possibly... three, in a year and a half, now. Which isn't bad, considering that none of us have done this before. Possibly it is issues that they've had with other mods at other games, which is a shame on their part but is not our fault.
It really grates to have people inform me that they don't trust, or are leery of, my modding practices, when they've never made an effort to talk to me.
If anyone has any words of wisdom that'd help, at this point, they'd be appreciated.
And no, I wouldn't have a clue what to do with IP logging if it bit me in the arse.
And I'm going to go watch Master and Commander, I think. Chilli, and Master and Commander. The applications can wait. It's been a long time since I've watched them make beautiful music together. *grins*

Date: 2005-11-27 10:44 am (UTC)I really don't think it's a trust thing, I think it's an automatic-guilt thing. Like when the police show up and you immediately think you've done something wrong. Makes people get defensive.
