1. We've been patient and open and have allowed open constructive criticism of the mod team. We feel it was best to give users the opportunity to discuss these things and help us get better. What we've found in recent months is that some have taken this liberty too far and complain and whine about every little thing we do and don't do to the point of simply trying to goad us. From this point on mod criticism in any public form will not be allowed with a few exceptions. We have a dedicated mod performance thread where we've allowed users to come in and reasonably state their case publicly if they feel it sets a new precedent and what not. We have a monthly ban thread where rules of discussion are specifically laid out. These are the ONLY public forums for mod criticism we will allow from now on. Anything in the form of threads, posts, wall posts, wall comments, article comments, game page comments, etc. will no longer be welcome. As always, you are free to PM the mod in question (or one of the other mods) to bring an issue or criticism to light. Public criticism will be moderated. This has always been a rule but now the mod team feel it's time to get strict on this as we've really just had enough with some users' antics.
Also ask yourself this question before thinking the mod team is out to get you. What do we get from picking on you? Besides angry PMs and public slandering resulting in reduced enjoyment of the site and the occasional mild headache of dealing with these things, what do we receive? If you can come up with a good reason I'd certainly like to hear it.
