Request to the mods to lighten up for the next few days

I do understand that, but as someone that just witnessed a modeator trolling a topic himself, maybe we should just understand that many of us may go a little further than we usually do and the mods shouldn't compensate by handing out lots of bans while E3 is going on. I've already seen so much trolling that a third of this site should be banned already, so I'm guessing either the mods are under staffed right now, or are doing exactly as I suggested. Would you not give your child some leeway on Halloween to eat more chocolate? Would you not give them permission to stay up later on Christmas to play with gifts? Rules can be bent for a holiday, and E3 is our gaming holiday each year.

 

 

Maybe it wasn't really your 'suggestion' that prompted mods to be a little less trigger happy. Maybe (and I may be stretching it a bit, so bear with me), even though we're 'mods' we also happen to be videogamers and get into E3 as much as you all do. And because of that, we aren't spending our time waiting in the bushes to snipe every troll that pops their head up because we too are enjoying the flood of news after such a long dry spell.

I know, I know, it sounds silly and all...     ...but it is a possibility.   :P

The bottom line - if something is reported, it will be looked at and a decision will be made as whether any action needs to be taken - just like we do every other day...   ;)

 

 

You may not know it, but you're actually agreeing with me. I first suggested this because I wanted the mods to be able to join in and not spend all day banning, warning, and locking. It's in my OP if you want to check it out. Secondly, I didn't mean every mod was first trigger happy with the ban button and then came into my post to suddenly have a change of heart. I just pointed out that I noticed things seemed light out there right now in the forums, so maybe the mods were doing what I had suggested. It doesn't mean they came into this topic and it sway their decision. Some never saw this and some maybe already felt this way. It was just something I had suggested because I do like the mods conversing, I do want some good people to not get banned for small reasons and because it's E3 right now, and taking posting away is like taking away a birthday present from a kid, which I feel should only be done if he's REALLY bad, not mildly annoying, or makes a small mistake here and there.

I see though that this post was a bad idea, so you may as well lock it Talon. I wouldn't want anyone thinking a rule breaker like myself is promoting anarchy.
