Quick question. Are we allowed to go into threads, as users and not mods, and tell the Op that the thread is a pile of trash and bait the OP? Is that allowable?
Or should we just complain to the mods about these types of things?

Seems like a simple question, but I have a "thread" of doubt so I thought I would ask.

Kantor and Axumblade are our best veterans.Fair and honest and they know when to not be too strict or too mushy. Sega and Twesterm and barozi probably are as well, but you never see them. Barozi just because he is visiting turkey or his computer is broken or something.

Tads12 and Kaz have been the most level headed new mods so far. Some of the others seem either too hot headed when questioned, too strict, or just that they discovered that they do not want to be mods but do not want to take it back now for various reasons. Some of these are probably just them learning the ropes and they are not any of the things that I mentioned.

My two cents. I think they all are doing great! I have frequented other sites and this certainly is the best mod team I have seen. So there you go.


@ Man bear

That may have been 200 words. But definitely not 2,000.

It's worth mentioning that twesterm has been a mod far longer than I have, so he's the real veteran. But thank you.

As for your question, well, that depends on the wording of the post. If you do have a specific post in mind (which I'm guessing you do), go ahead and report it. Report if there's any doubt, because if it doesn't break the forum rules we're not going to moderate anyway. This isn't really the place to bring up individual posts. We discourage posting those in the forums at all.

Is it OK if I say
"Nigger please" it is not a racist statement obviously.

I've posted "Ma nigga" and wasn't moderated so I assume so.


Sup Ma Nigga!

I like mods on this site. Other than one of them because we do not agree with one damned thing in life.

 

@Man bear

 

What kantor says is true. you cannot make an epic thread. I tried with the "Why is the user above you a slut thread", but it was not able to compete with the Hate thread that was locked......then post in after it was locked, then made a rule banning posting in locked threads.

 

Come back AMP and Barozi!

That's too funny.  I am inactive on the site for a day and a half and you're acting like it was a month and a half.

Anyway, I think that the new mod team has done a great job except for myself.  I am a biased and ill- tempered jerk that's in way over his head.

I don't want things to get personal here, so I'll refrain from using names.

But the mod(s) whose username(s) start with a "k" is/are universally terrible. And other mod(s) have terrible tastes in football teams, which should be a bannable offense imo.

Beyond that, we'ze coo'. Keep it up!

I thought we were pals!

Kinda offtopic but. When do my ban stats get reset?


As in removed from your history?  Never.

As in for escalating punishments.  6 Months from the last infraction is the suggested guideline.  Which seems a bit too long for me... i'd go more 4 months personally.



As for me... I think things are going ok.

Sometimes i've saved mod reports in my browser and let someone else fill the request just to see how it's handled because I'm pretty relaxed by nature.

Heck, I'm probably up there on the all time "Person didn't get reported for insulting me because i never reported them." list.

So it's going to take me a while more to get a really solid handle on how far "up" i have to judge my sensitivity vs things that should be viewed as just silly jokes.



Well here's my opinion on 2 new mods:

I think Amp is too old and Radish is too young. I love Radish but everyone in the mafia games know him as the 'goof'. Mod team was trolling us with that promotion. Seriously, if I ever get moderated by him my brain might just pop.

Amp has a history of being irrational and falsly accusing people of 'pretending' to be something. Like Seece pretending to be gay, or me pretending to be a transexual. His emotions and cockiness get the better of him sometimes so I hope he keeps that out of his modding.



That aside, I think the team is good, but I also think it will be seeing some cuts in the near future. Some of the recent bans were just extreme and cringe worthy. Veteran mods and Mod manager will take note of that.


Personal opinions?
-I think the mod team lets posters who discuss the topic of religion and belief get away with murder. There's a fine line between opinion and straight insulting that mods need to recognize.
-All spammers including Pig man, Pezus and Spurge need to be cleansed from this website. Give me a mod badge for 5 minutes and I'll see to that personally.
-Makingmusic... give him his job back.

Nobody is too young or old for a job as a moderator. It's about maturity and ability to deal with problems. Sure, radish is kind of crappy at mafia, but hey, we can't have two mods capable of playing a perfect game of mafia, now can we, Tyrion?

I feel like amp has calmed down a lot. There used to be some bitterness between us for some reason, but I feel like that's gone now.

I wouldn't want to see MBP, Pezus or Spurge leave the site. They're all active users. They help keep the community alive and energetic. We just need to crack down a little bit on spam from everyone.

And makingmusic doesn't want his job back, unfortunately. Believe me, I've tried.

discussing religion and belief = getting away with murder?
