to clarify, i am not saying the mods need to actively bring people onboard for smaller player plots, especially if that's not what the player wants. the proposed resolution of making the process of requesting player plots more visible rather than screening things seems like a good step to take—but that is, in itself, a way of disseminating info, because at that point it's all collected in one spot for ease of access.

in light of that, it's the insistence that the mods can't control those sort of things while simultaneously proving that they can and also should have been doing it to begin with that rubs me the wrong way.
