Forums - Website Topics - Question for the moderators

Im lost, could someone sum it up for me plz.

Sony and MS fans flaming each other en masse in certain threads. Because mods are unpaid volunteers, and are more than one person, some late/inconsistent decisions were made. But it isn't mods' job to make people post nice.

You realise that Selnor got actually banned for trolling (SDF), flaming (insulting other users) and insulting the site? Not only this, but it was for 3 days instead of the 7 that it really should have been considering his ban record.


Add SDF is trolling but MDF isn't? Ok, just so we know. Thanks.

i think you guys need to actually talk to each other. It's becoming ridiculous. 

if you reported cases of MDF then action would be taken - we can't read every thread

Really? Well it was and mrkhan actually posted in a thread that MDF isn't a problem.  I can probably find it if you want, if it hasn't been stealth edited that is.

Like I said. You need to talk to each other.

It's simply that saying "Defense Force" in and of itself is not necessarily worthy of moderation. For instance, in classicgamingwizz's case, he stepped out and made derogatory comments about the Microsoft fanbase, but in my mind "Defense Force" is just another term for fanbase, and does not have a pejorative enough connotation to merit action all on its own.

selnor, now, he had a long history of disrespect to anyone who lived outside his frame of mind.

The problem with PJams' ban has to do with the site's internal clock and how a 1-day ban is set to expire the next day, and not actually 24 hours from the point the ban is initiated. So if you get a 1-day ban at 2311 GMT, you're really only up for a 49-minute ban before the thing resets to 0000.

Another site bug to be addressed in the future.



Monster Hunter: pissing me off since 2010.

this thread was a good laugh. If selnor left good. That guy was ridiculous.

As for the mod staff I think they aren't good but for different reasons. They usually don't put the post they are modding into context. Usually dont take into consideration what influenced the post they are modding. finally, I believe they could choose different moderation techniques other than warn/ban that would be as effective.

I dont think they have a deep seeded bias like some are claiming. The ones claiming that are the bias ones. As for SDF and MDF - SDF was a term to be derogatory towards sony fans due to a stupid satire website. It was like using the N word for black people. MDF has no conotation to it. Though both are enforced as they should be.

The reasons I post above is why my last posts are from religion, meat eating, gun control and taxes

How is telling other VGChartz members to fuck off acceptable, but saying SDF isnt?

Pardon my lack of knowledge : what is SDF? 

EDIT : got it. Sorry should have read the thread before asking.

EDIT2 : hum... no, still not sure I got it right...

But indeed it is very strange. I got two moderation warnings lately whereas my general line has been the same. What happened?

Because you've lived dangerously on the edge of unacceptable Wii U trolling since this past E3. We recognize, however, that you're not a bad poster on the whole, but you should tone down the naysaying.

I might not last a week.

But I'd have fun for a day, I tell you what, and then I'd stop and carry all the poster hatred with me so the mods don't have to carry as much.

I'm just saying, being hated for brutality to other posters is a service I can offer just anytime

Fuck off is banable but neither MDF or SDF is.

No. The problem with pjams ban was that it was too lenient regardless of history, that was a pretty vicous and mindless rant. 

come on kowenicki. youve been here long enought o know better. The history of a poster has always been used to determine bans for any faction. Next time he will get a 3 day ban and a 7 day ban after that and a 10 day after that. Thats their system. Thats how they choose to do it. Thats what you have been aware of for a while now
