Forums - Website Topics - The Mod Team: Questions, Comments, Concerns? Ask Here!

Welcome one and all to The Mod Thread!

What we want from this thread is a place where you can feel free to ask us questions, leave comments, let us know of concerns, and even throw out a compliment or two (we always love those!).

But first, we need to lay out the groundrules:

  • As with all VGChartz related threads, all forum rules apply to this thread as well.
  • The Big One: We are open to all kinds of critiques, feedback, and concerns, but doing so must be done in a manner that is professional, respectful, and above all else, backed up with evidence and facts. Any baseless or unsupported accusation or criticism has no potential to serve anyone and therefore can be treated as spam and/or an unfounded attack on a moderator.
  • If you have/had an issue with a moderation issued to you, it is highly recommended that you either PM the moderator who issued it or PM TruckOSaurus or Smeags (The Head Mods), as this is the quickest and most efficient way to get answers. The mod team cannot speak for the individual moderator and might not be aware of the situation, history, and original report. We will do the best we can to get your questions answered, but for the most complete answer, talk to the moderator who issued out the moderation.
  • In the same way, if you have an issue with a moderation issued to another user, the best, most efficient way to get a complete answer is to ask the moderator who issued said ban. Again, it is highly recommended that you PM the moderator in question for the quickest answer.
  • This is not the place to ask for moderation on another user. Report said user's potentially moderatable post/thread and let the Mod team handle it from there on out.
  • This is not the place to ask why your report did not result in a moderation for a user. Be respectful of the process and trust that every report is carefully examined before it is either dismissed or acted upon.
  • We will try to answer each and every question as best as we can. If your question isn't answered, it's not because we're purposely ignoring you. PM a moderator(s) with the question or a link to the post so that we can answer your question as quickly as we can.

Breaking any of these rules can and will result in a moderation against you. So please be respectful of the parameters we have set in place.

Again, It's almost impossible to address vague or broad statements, so please (Please!) state your issues, concerns, or criticisms, or anything else with as much detail as possible. Name the people involved, link to posts, tell us what you would have done differently, etc. We cannot improve or address your issue if we do not know the full picture.

It had its purpose once upon a time. But as the years passed, the thread evolved to be something it really wasn't supposed to be.

We decided to start fresh and make an OP that could best address today's VGC community and the relationship between the mod team and the community.



So what is this thread for If you want to preferably handle all mod concerns via PM?



If you demand respect or gratitude for your volunteer work, you're doing volunteering wrong.

General questions about how the system works, but more importantly suggestions which could be made to improve our performance. Say, for example, if you've noticed an influx of people using the phrase "f*****y" to evade moderation. That would be something which could be suggested to fix; and ofcourse other points similar to that.

This thread is to discuss how the system works. It's not to discuss the people who control that system or the bans as a result. It's to highlight issues in the system which can be improved.

Sounds like it is supposed to be for more general things rather than specific issues.

 

Also... some feedback for the mods straight away, is there any other forum this thread could reasonably be moved to in order for it to show up in the hot topics section? I think that was one of the old threads problems.

AFAIK Stickied threads never show up in hot topics. So it doesn't matter for the issue would persist.

We told you that to get the best, most complete picture on a moderation, you would ask the moderator who issued the moderation. I also mentioned that the best way to do that would be to PM said moderator, and/or Kantor the Head Mod.

We didn't say you couldn't ask here, but that you'd get a slower response and a less complete picture if not answered by the actual moderator.

Just giving you the tools to get the best answer you can possibly get.



I am writting this so my comment is longer than a possible mod note for spam.

In other word: Tagging.



Feel free to give me a general review of my performance since I got the job on April Fools Day.
