Do you think the mods have ruined the forums?

[TurtleCrusher]

Simple question.

PS: Before any particular mod comes crying in with their lock button, it's not towards any specific mod, so if you feel butt-hurt then maybe YOU'RE the one who effed it up. It's not different than asking if posters as a whole ruined the forums.







OK, you've all had your say.

The mod bashing thread will now close.

You have complaints that go above and beyond the admins and mods, take them to Anand.

We're not even allowed to question the mods. There's your answer.


(That said, more than a few of the mods are pretty cool.)

Bolded for truth. I think you guys know what I'm getting at though.

Some of the mods are really cool and add a lot to the discussions here. It does annoy me that some are so quick to lock threads where people are having fun (parody and necro threads). Some discussions are meant to be revived.

Just because some people get off by pointing out every necro doesn't mean it has to be locked. Let it live or die again on its own.

Not enough perma-bans for idiocy. Too much bad blood over bans from half a century ago.

I vote to ban everyone who posts in this thread.

Things actually feel better. Not too long ago, there was a grip of troll posters.

You whiny brats act like you pay to be here. Most of the banned asked for it by their behavior and antinsocial outburst. Atot is like a playground. If you play nice and have fun everybody gets along. If you act the fool you get the boot.



Being here isn't a right


If some of you hate it here so much gtfo then

I'm a moderator on a popular Honda forum. We get our share of spammers and jerks too. We try not to ban without at least one or two warnings (depending on the infraction). Instead we try to help and give suggestions. If we see an infraction, we private message the person to edit his post to come in to compliance (or we do it for him). We don't rule with an iron fist and our users tend to like the moderators. I could not imagine anyone posting a thread such as:

On my forum such a thread would certainly grab the administrator’s attention and re-evaluate all the moderators. I only wonder how many people are afraid to even post anything in this thread for fear of reprisal from the mods. What a shame for the moderators and the board as a whole.

i just wish there was fairness in moderation here
