More objectively, the only alternative was to threaten to strip most if not all of the hosts for non-compliance and see if they make the threads exactly as the rules dictate. It was less work just making those biju threads for them and then telling them how to use them properly in the first post.
It's their responsibility if they want the beasts, they should do it themselves. Plus, a new topic can easily be made when a host loses their beast and another gains it.
When, as a mod, I read this:
I have added a tag to the title for MOD ATTENTION
this is something they will have to correct.
It went from a "let the Council handle it" to a "ok mods are coming in to do something".
We were called in to split the compilation threads so that each host has their own thread. Kamui went in and cleaned up the compilation thread, but did not decompile them. I started to decompile them, got frustrated when some of the posts were for hosts and not for individual biju, and then realized that making biju challenge threads would nip it in the bud once and for all.
If Kayenta wanted the hosts to correct their own issue, then she would not have asked us to fix it is the way I see it. If the hosts were supposed to make their own threads (make new ones I mean) then we should not have been called in, "mod attention" should not have been in all caps in the title, and Kayenta should have gotten the Biju Council to do its job of enforcing the biju rules.
Because that's not in the moderator job description. Enforcing the biju rules is the Biju Council's job.
