Anyway, seems the new head mods are still in preschool, or perhaps they're simply so unfamiliar with the English language that they should go back to just playing the game and writing some funny Engrish in the local chat.
Seriously, anyone making basic spelling mistakes like "All 3 of these individual’s still serve the basic moderator needs" and "Human Relation’s" in an official post should not be allowed any official duties at all.
Still, I'm not surprised. After all this is the game were there are serious typos everywhere - even in the TOS if I remember correctly...
We can´t all be native english writers. And I personally couldn´t care less for those silly typos, cause I still get what they are saying. Yes, they could use some spellcheck program or whatever. But I don´t do it myself. And as long as the message come through I´m cool with it. But some here sure like to pick on the smallest of things. Amazing.
Today I learned that 'amazing' is considered an overused word, this year.
The typos (text errors of all kinds in Mortal Online) are funny. "Diary products". "River Prowers". SUDDENLY, APOSTROPHES. It's not just the moderators (the upper classes of the community have communication skill to spare and can work their way around some Engrish from mods); it's the whole group that operates under the aegis of Star Vault.
However, the attitude at Star Vault that produces the typos (after they have turned down the opportunity to use the suggestions of either programs or people to check / bug report their spelling, grammar, usage, punctuation, [i]et cetera[/i]) is in perfect harmony with their sloppiness in other, less trivial areas. I'm not ready to stop paying attention to the phenomenon yet. A sudden clean-up or improvement in the problem, trivial as it is, would be a good sign (though 2012 is a very late date for good signs from this MMO).
This has nothing to do with Talwin, however. I wish him luck in his endeavours always.

If you had to pick one and only one, which would you pick: A new moderator OR results.
I think people want results.
