I think mods shouldn't be allowed to post their comments (opinions) on ANY tread , unless it's a thread of their own. I know it's kind of a harsh measure, but it keeps the mods from siding with a particular fanbase.
A lot of users get banned because of their reputation, if they are known for trolling and flaming or called that way all the times, the hammer comes down on them much quiclkly. But, for most of us, it takes a lot to get banned

OT: There is no balance problem with the mods here.
Give respect, and it's given back.

But rarely does the same person accuse us of doing both at the same time. Anyways, I have no idea what incident started this thread, but I'm inclined to think it's yet another case of our jobs being partially based on discretion. Different people "discrete" in different ways. |
Would you believe that I was just bored and noticed that I still hadn't got my Vg$100 from the screw up on the prediction league and decided that I would just complain about something??

So if someone were to make a thread bashing a console manufacturer and then say they deserve to go out of buisness and imply that the continued existence of the console harms the game industry the thread would be locked right? Cause unless something changed one of those exists right now, with mod posts in it, and with at least one person reporting it. I have never seen a more blatant attack on a console without merit than in the original post of that thread and nothing was done last I checked. I want to clarify I really like you as a mod. I enjoy seeing you post in threads because it reassures me that trolling will be kept to a minimum. Sometimes I have to question other mods decisions though. I don't have any specific complaints outside the fact that ssj12's sig is annoyingly long, but there is a lot of inconsistency. The specific example really riles me up because it wasn't even a stealth troll but a blatant troll topic. |
Dude! you should of wrote the original thread!!
You get a gold star!!

@luinil
Then get rid of banning altogether. If mods can't be rational (uncapable of) then such a extreme measure as banning shouldn't exist unless it's REALLY neccessary (major issues, cursing, insults, unappropiate material, that kind of thing). Things like "trolling, trash-talking, being rude, putting down someone/something, etc." just let them be. I'm afraid even mods do these things to some extent. I'm also against letting them post their opinions on threads 'cause sometimes they clearly take a side and it doesn't make matters any better. They should stick to doing their job, and doing it well.
