Master is right in what he says. And I would even add one more thing: even if you are a moderator,
you are still a user. I have seen many cases where people think they are untouchable just for being a moderator, and luckily, I don't think it's the case here. It isn't a matter of constantly prasing the moderator's work here, but I gotta say I've always got the feeling (even before becoming a mod) that the moderators in RPC are probably the most humble and mature mods I've seen on the Internet. I think it's something you don't fully appreciate until you see what's out there.
All of this!
That's why I've always been proud to be a part of this community, everything feels so "tidy" and respectful, all thanks to the users (mods and admins included)!
As someone who's into tons of franchises and who has seen some absolutely WILD communities, I can tell you this is the one of the few which I actually wanted to join and the only where I want so stay as long as possible!
Sure, I may have missed some dramas and some bad apples here, but it has to be expected to happen absolutely anywhere and the fact I've seen so little of that in about six years is a testament to the RPC's greatness.
(unlike some of the things I've seen happen in the Rayman side on Twitter...
)
I've heard so many horror stories about terrible behaviours in some communities (especially on Discord, mainly caused by mods or admins abusing their authority and feeling untouchable...), things so bad and inconceivable that they make you lose faith in humanity... And I'm just glad to have witnessed none of that here and I hope it'll always stay that way, or at least for as long as possible.

Honestly, you've been doing great at that task for someone relatively new! The fact you were asked "so soon" is a testament to how fit you are for the job!
Guess that's something I could still try in the future. It'd be an honor to further contribute to the community this way!
And I can imagine how wild it must be to moderate something like a GTA community
I've noticed we don't have french-exclusive moderators currently, so I guess that's something to consider!...
Maybe next year... or the next one!... Or the next one after that... Or the other next one... Or the other one... Or the next next one... Or the next next next one... Or another one... Or another one again!... Or when- SNOOPING AS USUAL I SEE!
The three of us had some previous experience moderating (even if it wasn't a Rayman community), so I guess that's why I have the feeling we're adapting pretty well. But tbh, veterans are the best ones to say if we fit for it or not
Also, regarding to GTA... I don't know which one is the proper definition... Wild? Different? Unique? I don't know... People are more aggressive there tbh, also the photographers! It's weird to see so much rancor and envy because of the visility of their photos. Because GTA is for taking pics, right?

Past experience definitely helps!
In that regard, I wouldn't know yet if I'm fit for that as my only true experience is moderating my site and YouTube comments... though even then it's barely any experience when I never really got any bad comments (besides typical bot spam) and the "worst" I tend to get are just kids posting random nonsensical sh1t in the YT comment section.

Yeah, aggressivity is the kind of things I would expect from communities like GTA, considering the
massive player base and the number of immature and toxic people that may join as a result (only made worse by that type of game which tend to attract dem edgy bois/gals

). Though I was not aware of the photos thing, and for some reason I don't even feel surprised!

They grow up so fast.
Glad that more people acknowledge his achievements! I feel so honoured that he gave me so much out of everybody here for no particular reason, I hope he'll be able to share with even more members!
