Do you think the mods have ruined the forums?

[Sonikku]

Sometimes the hammer came down for things that I thought were silly. Other times I was shocked by the kinds of shenanigans I got away with. Never know what to expect.

If the members weren't such a shower cunts...

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.

Well said.

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.

You too, well said.

I think overall they are pretty fair and do a decent job, even more so considering that they are not compensated for their time. Are they perfect every time about every incident?, no, but who is, I've been here 14 years and have never been banned and only 2 infractions (posting NSFW stuff and not labeling it as so). if you generally behave yourself and "think" before hitting "post reply" you will have no problems here. I do wish they would ease off a bit on squashing the necro threads so quickly, I don't understand why that happens but at the end of the day it's no biggie..

This is what catty old men do when you prove them wrong. Ignore you, and then tell you that you're being ignored. Which isn't ignoring at all.

 

[TurtleCrusher]

But yeah, Scholzpdx is awesome.

Well actually he IS ignoring you, he won't see your last post. I think he was trying to tell you in a creative way that your a Troll.

I agree about fun threads.

Ignoring would be not replying at all. People have been posting their ignore list forever. Creative not found.

I don't have a single person on ignore because I'm not butthurt when other people have reasonable opposing viewpoints. I guess when the bodies in your basement begin piling up you can become fairly dense.

I am thinking he meant "shower of cunts".

 

[JEDI]

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

allinson :wub:

 

[dartworth]

why take this stuff so serious...perhaps going outside for a bit?

Yea, we have one member who lists the people on his "ignore" list in his sig, along with the warning, "care to join the list of the great abyss" or some similar bullcrap, yea, OMG!, I'm terrified I might be on your ignore list!, OMG! ...LOL at it's finest..

 

[BudAshes]

I wont be happy until the mods provide shower cunts for everyone.

[brianmanahan]

i voted no

if they had ruined the forums, i would not be posting here

but i am, therefore they havent

QED

 

[HOSED]

BudAshes, is that a misspelling??
Scholzpdx - impressive following you have there!
Compared to NotebookReview I find the mods very fair here. I have only received one PM from a mod so far here.
I really think likes, and reputation are over rated.

agreed. there have been a couple necro threads recently that i tried to post in but they were closed. but the content was still relevant. just like you say, let it live or die on its merits.

ok now if someone spammed necro threads that's one thing but they are too heavy handed with locking necro's in general.

From now on anyone who says anything about how the forums are slow or how things suck now compared to the old days or if they call out a mod or if they trolls they should forever be known as



Shower cunts

Lay off your Koolaid.

 

[TallBill]

Most of the mods now dont even post in the forum, so yes they do terrible job moderating it.

 

[reallyscrued]

Yes.
