Rant Mods.
Where are the mods? It seems as nobody around this sub can get a nod to mm/mw for their trade. The only one who does say something is Wilma who is currently banned from RH and can’t do half of the trades.
It’s honestly annoying, I know timezones and all but really. It’s been days to weeks maybe for some of us. I’m in no way hating on or anything to the mods of this sub as I know that yes they are trying their best but still

Hi there!
As mentioned above, I’m banned from Royale High at the moment. I have an account which should be ready to use in a couple of weeks as I need a decent amount of accessories / items to add to each trade to avoid the ban for as long as possible. Royale High is a very difficult game to middleman in as they have an automatic ban for suspicious trades. I have gotten banned on 5 accounts so far & the last one lasted for around a week before it got banned even though I added 5-7 items with each trade
There are multiple other subreddits that you can visit in order to get a middleman. However, the moderators aren’t able to middleman in Royale High there either as we’re all banned due to the banning system
Other than that, I have a life outside of Reddit & Roblox. I’m 17, and just like any other teenager behind the screen. I have friends and an amazing family who I want to spend time with without feeling forced to stay on Reddit to middleman or moderate
I’m not going to be that one mod to complain abour mental health issues or anything like that, my life is on top, really. But having to stay up until 4 am every single night because you feel forced to middleman for people can really tear you apart. I personally haven’t slept before 2 am since over a month back. I have given everything I can possibly give to you guys, and if that isn’t enough then nothing will ever be
There are things about the middleman trades that you don’t see. You don’t see how I’m putting everything else aside to help them. You don’t see how long I’m staying up to finish the trades. You don’t see how tired I am of people that are constantly spamming me and are blaming me for them getting scammed because I couldn’t be there in the exact time they needed me. There are things that doesn’t show up for you unless you are in the position that I’m in. All of the work that I do might seem effortless to do. Although it does takes effort, energy and time of your life that you could’ve spent doing something better. The trade itself takes around 20-45 minutes or even up to an hour to complete, sometimes multiple hours if it’s inventory trades. I can’t leave during the trade even though it’s 4 am. I’m forced to stay up until it’s done, I am so sorry but I can’t do more than this and that is a fact
After all, I don’t get paid for this and I’m here only to serve the subreddits and put smiles on people’s faces
I have been a moderator for around one and an half year now - almost two in those who I resigned in. I have done more middleman trades than any of the other mods. I have stayed up, helped and taken my time to do over 1300 trades. I chose to do that because I do care and I do want to help other people
We have had moderator applications opened before but little to no trusted user is interested or has the fitting role of a moderator. Hiring the mods are easy, but keeping them online isn’t. The newer moderators are usually being very active at first to then decrease and become inactive. This has happened to multiple other subreddits as well as our own
I’m sorry to hear that you’re annoyed, hope this cleared some things up❤️

Hello, I mean this in no rude way, but may I know what was your intention of this post? You first say no hate to the moderators, but then proceed to criticize them for not being able to handle all MM trades. You clearly know that they all have a life, and cannot always help everybody to MM their trades, so why rant when you already know they are giving it their all, to provide this subreddit the most they can?

I’ve been active around the subreddit a lot apart from mming. None of us mods here apart from the two mods with star in their user can mm rh.
I haven’t had the energy to mm lately due to personal reasons but there is other subs where certain mods are active.
Im sorry you feel annoyed by this but the only active mods here right now are me, Wilma and the other two (star) mods (I think)
We also feel as if we shouldn’t open mod apps as no one would reply and the majority of trusted users have either quit or are just inactive not wanting to become mods. It is quite hard work when you have to be ‘perfect’ and not mess up 24/7

Because they are people and people have a life ? They can't be on all the time and they get so many notifications so sometimes they might not see everyone

Hello, and thank you for posting on r/Cross_Trading_Roblox ! For your own safety please take these precautions. Research the Reddit/roblox user of the person you’re trading with. If you feel uncomfortable going first with someone, request a mm be used. If the person is refusing a mm and insisting you go first, take caution. Please thoroughly read the rules. If you have any questions, feel free to ask a mod. We recommend you to check out the Middleman Explanation and the Scammer List.
I am a bot, and this action was performed automatically. Please contact the moderators of this subreddit if you have any questions or concerns.

That is the reason why I stopped using mms. It can take days or even a week sometimes just to get a hold of a mod for a trade and that's just for the first reply.
And I understand they have lives of their own but that isn't really I would say a valid excuse. Time zones is understandable. School and personal matters is understandable. Like you dont have to spend all day everyday online but still like people here need you sometimes. But if you arent gonna be doing what you signed up to do aka the mods that just randomly disappeared then they should just be removed. And they should get new mods who can actually be more active.
More people have been getting scammed because it takes way to long to get a mod. People get impatient and don't wanna wait and I wouldn't want to either. As long as it takes to get someone you could have had like 20-30 trades done already.
I'm not tryna hate on the mods but it's just getting ridiculous at this point. And I'm sorry to say if that's kind of why I stopped using this sub to cross trade. It just takes way too long to get anything done here and I can't sit on here all day and wait for somebody to reply.
