I think you guys do great. Any problem I have ever had with any members has always been takin care of in a timely fasion or reply wih reason why I was off base.

That said it does matter what the members think, Its why you do what you do. If you just started banning random people well then lots would leave. And that would be bad.

The key here is that the moderating is careid out in a justified fashon that improves the forums, consents with ioi's wishes, and promotes new users to join.

There's always room for improvement in all things, but considering the tight line you must walk. I have no issues worth complaining about.


One thing you learn quick in my job Kenzo is that not only can you not make everyone happy all of the time, but you will in fact piss off at least 1 person almost every time you actually have to use your mod powers.  So, the best thing to do is not worry about what makes others happy and instead just enforce the rules and keep things as civil as possible.  If I want an opinion on a moderator action I'll ask another mod, not a forum member.


I think you missunderstood my point, I'm not talking about pleasing 1 or 2 members. I'm talking about the community in general. Public Opinion does matter. Its why this site makes money. The rules are in place for many reason most notably so that it is a safe community where people feel welcome to come. I'm not talking about everyone voting weezy in or something like that. I'm talking about the fact your duties exist for two reasons to keep things up to ioi's standard and to serve the community. You are part of the big picture which invloves bringing more people to the site by keeping it clean. In that way you are public relation and the over all communities thoughts do matter.



"Back off, man. I'm a scientist."

Your theories are the worst kind of popular tripe, your methods are sloppy, and your conclusions are highly questionable! You are a poor scientist. Especially if you think the moon landing was faked.

I agree. We need a moderator for the mods.

Too inconsistent. There is a particular mod who takes offence to everything, while others are cool/laidback.

Definitely giving this great site a bad reputation.



It's sad, but I expect to get banned for even saying this ^.
Thats how bad it is around here. Sad, IMO.

Lolz I just found out all the mods deleted me on their friend list .. Except for Rocketpig =p.

= The mods suck except Rocketpig of course.

I don't think you were ever on mine, but if you were I probably would have deleted you. I don't like people constantly giving me attitude about doing my job.


 You were,  I remember that you were on my list around the time I recommended you to become a mod;...Oh boy what was I thinking then =p.

Public opinion can also be wrong lol.  This is often the case with the "group mentality" that people enter on the internet.  Sometimes you have to go against the grain to sand things down to smooth again.  Obviously we want people to be happy, but at the same time the majority opinion's happiness shouldn't be at the expense of the minority.  Our job is to champion good behavior, regardless of whether it's in the majority or minority opinion because the future of the site depends on healthy and intelligent discussion for fans of all platforms, majority and minority.  



Foshoryuken, It isn't always what you say, but how you say it.

@konnichiwa:

carlos710 - Capitán Primero: Nintendo Defense Force

"Wii are legion, for Wii are many"

And who would mod the moderators? ModGod? The President? jack Bauer? Ah... Chuck Norris...

Seriously; you don't mess with this. 



Carlos, you are being really annoying.

One more Sony bias comment and you're banned for 3 days.

See kids, we do our jobs sometimes.
