Shab: I have added a “*” to Slider due to his current loss of modship. If he has lost mod already, I’d like to hear from him why he should get it back.
Greetings ACP, this post is directed to all moderator retirees who come on the ACP chat daily.
UPDATE: To retired veterans – please leave the chat 15 minutes prior to an event. In order to have a successful event, we must be able to prepare for it. Having conversations irrelevant to Club Penguin and CP Armies on main can be quite bothersome and burdensome to the leaders. If you wish to continue your conversations, please move to another chat temporarily. There you will not have the same language restrictions, and you are free to talk about anything you wish. I apologize if this sounded rude to any of you, but it’s necessary in order for us to be able to have events worth posting.

As the head of the Gendarmerie, it is my obligation to maintain order and ensure a safe and fun environment for the ACP troops and recruits. In this post I will be representing the current ACP leadership along with the other ACP soldiers who believe that something has to be done regarding the retirees’ attitudes towards ACP’s troops and leaders. This post will also be discussing whether these people should remain a moderator on our chat or not. If you are included on this post, please don’t take it offensively. As stated before, we are thankful for what you have done for the ACP in the past, and we also believe that you should be rightfully credited for it. However, some of you have been constantly interfering with our events, and/or are simply mean to new recruits and troops in the ACP. It is our duty to keep the ACP up top, which is why there are times where we must prioritize the current ACP troops over the retired veterans of the ACP.
Before I begin, some of the retirees have been complaining about the bot on the ACP chat. The bot is there for a purpose. It makes new visitors a member instantly, can announce things on chat (in PC or PM as well), can bump everyone before an event, and have many other merits that are beneficial to the ACP. However, the most important purpose of the bot is to insta-ban those who break our chat rules. Inappropriate content, vulgar language, and spamming are not allowed on the ACP chat–it’s been like that for 7 years. There are times when the bot bans somebody accidentally, but we have done our best to prevent things like that from ever happening again. Therefore, if you are still being kicked or banned by the bot you are obviously saying something that’s not allowed on the ACP chat. If you’re demanding the removal of the bot, you are probably wishing it for it to be gone so that you can say whatever you want on the ACP chat without being kicked or banned. Being on our chat is a privilege, not a right. Please follow our chat rules and respect them the same way you used to when you were in the ACP.
Retirees are supposed to be something helpful to the army. Their knowledge, experience, and advice can aid the ACP a lot. I am thankful to the army veterans such as Boomer 20, Mchappy, Matre10, Shaboomboom, who advise us and give us tips on what to do. They’re never demanding, but they give wise advice and spark inspiration within the ACP leadership. However, most of you are more demanding than advising. Those people demand answers when they know nothing, and others order change for their own personal needs. The ACP do not have stupid leaders. We have knowledge, and we usually know what we are doing. Advice is always appreciated, but don’t make it sound demanding. There’s a difference between, “Hey, I was wondering if you could allow swear words on chat”, and “why the hell can’t we say ‘s h 1 t’ without being banned. thats stupid.” Again, please reply neatly and calmly to the person you are talking to. If they refuse your advice or proposal, don’t start an argument. There’s no other way to say it, so I’ll just say it in the most direct way possible. You don’t lead the ACP–we do. If you want some sort of change that was refused by the current ACP leadership, do it yourself by earning leader or owner. The time spent in arguing can be used on recruiting or creating bonds with the ACP troops. Please do not waste our time with pointless arguments that are for the solemn purpose of relieving your stress and outrage. Advice is always acceptable. Arguments aren’t. If you are extremely disgruntled talk to Boomer about it, but please stop bothering the ACP owners if they have already made their points clear.
Also, if an owner asks you to do something, please do your best to follow the person’s orders, and try to be nice about it. Here’s a conversation I had with a retired 3rd in Command today:
Flipmoo: Hey, can you be a bit nicer to the troops?
Retiree: What’s in it for me?
~ Skipping a few quotes ~
Flipmoo: Is asking to be nicer to the troops too much to ask?
Retiree: Well yes, when you’re theoretically asking me to change my personality.
This retiree is obviously asking for trouble when I simply asked for the person to be nicer to the troops. This retiree isn’t the only person with attitudes like these. There are many other who are rude and blunt towards other ACP troops and leaders.
There are also those who are a moderator on the ACP chat although they have never been an owner rank in the ACP before. We understand that they are exceptional legends who are granted moderator on the ACP chat, but there have been a few people who have been disagreeing with making these people a moderator. Also, considering the fact that we have way to many moderators who aren’t in the ACP anymore, we may be demodding a few retirees depending on what other people think after this post is published. These people have a “*” besides their names.
Te people whom are mentioned below are those who either have an unwelcoming attitude towards the ACP or are veterans who are granted moderator despite the fact that they have never achieved owner. Being on this list is not a disgrace of any sort, and I hope that nobody takes it offensively. To those who are interfering with our ways of leading the ACP, take this as a precaution. To those who are moderator but have never achieved owner, this is just to reassure your moderator statuses on the ACP chat room.
- Buckley
- Splashy
- Slider568*
- Keiranfb
- Jacob (Please moderate your language on main.)
- Michael *
- Caitlyn *
To those without the “*” besides your name, take this as a precaution.
If you choose to rage either in the comments below or on chat, it won’t help you at all. This is only a precaution. If you fail to change your attitudes towards the other leaders or troops, that will be the end of your privilege of being on chat.
To those with the “*” besides their name, please comment on why you think you deserve to be a moderator on the ACP chat. We will then discuss it amongst the ACP leadership and will conclude on whether you will remain a moderator or not. Again, your names were not included on this post because of one person’s solemn opinion. It’s based off of a few claims from many different people.
A side note: Retired leaders, please do not unban anybody on the ACP chat unless you witnessed an unfair ban from the bot. If another owner or leader banned the person, do not challenge the decision of the owner. If you have a problem, report it to one of the mains (Flipmoo, Sercan, Jerry, Boomer 20, or Shaboomboom.) Boomer and Shaboomboom, if you get any requests of unbanning please talk to the leaders before doing so. I’m sure there’s an explanation for the person being banned in the first place.
Thank you for taking the time to read this post. Please feel free to comment your opinions below.
