Recently I have noticed a ton of complaints about the moderators and granted, I think some of them are founded, but I want your attention for abit, if at all possible.
Look, we moderators are humans. We are not robots. We all take things differently, meaning what one moderator finds offensive, another may not. Classic examples of this is ooSeven\'s distaste for anything he deems "gorey". Another example is the UFO thread and my stance on the link posted in it. I understand what you all want is people to be under one mind set. So that there is no varation, a process varability reduction program, so to speak. It won\'t happen. There are simply to main moderators and to much human factors.
As you all know, I have always said if a thread is closed, PM the mod who closed it. Some of you have PM\'ed me about things and I almost always answer them. I have no problems with this. Please do question us, as we are not always right. However, sometimes the mod / Admin who closes the thread does not leave a post on why and it just seems to be closed by the \'mystery mod\', in this case, post in Suggestions or PM one of the Admin\'s (Ryu / MM / Vid). There is NO need to post a thread about it in OFF-TOPIC, as it will only get deleted.
In closing, I think the rules are pretty simple. I however also think we have some leeway with them and not everything has to be enforced. On the other hand, there are some things that are simply done to piss us MODs off or get the poster in trouble. Need an example? A certain member posted the link to an American beheading in Current Events, after it was clearly said NOT to.. And then there are general slip ups, I done one recently. In the \'Hot Babes\' thread I linked to a picure of a clothed woman, but it was from a porn site. I thought nothing of it, but MM deleted the post and put a warning. I done that. I don\'t complain about the fact it was deleted, it was linked from a porno site. Swifdi, recently posted a picture in a thread , and the picture was changed to a nude woman, he is currently banned for a short period of time. Do I need to go on? Or do you all get the drift? There is leeway and there are rules. They can be bent slightly, but not broke. But when you break them, don\'t complain about someone deleting your post, closing your thread and what not...And if you want to know why something was closed or want to present a point about it being closed, Pm that MOD...Don\'t go making threads about it, its pointless.
Thank you.

Apparently this is what happend to me as well. Thing that pissed me off was a lack of notification or reasoning, not to mention the fact that in situations like that, no one knows the link will be changed to something pornographic.(woman falling on tredmill)

I think you need an editor, L-I-C. That whole point could have been made in one short paragraph. :)

I found luckee being banned (for how many weeks?) was just a misunderstanding. About Swifdi, didn\'t knew he was banned for posting pornographic pics...also could be another misunderstanding...
as for LIC posting a clothed woman that was switch to pornographic pic (didn\'t know this either), was also a misunderstanding...yep, since he is the mod, he just get a warning...
but that\'s not the point, the thing is he admitted it about the slips up and realize the it were a miunderstanding. Which I find very important and cool because i don\'t like people who denied of their wrongdoings yet uses their power to delete/closed, and banned people...
A certain member posted the link to an American beheading in Current Events, after it was clearly said NOT to..
"a certain member..." hmmm...why not just Paul2 posted a link....? anyway, that was also a misunderstanding too, the thread was long, and it was on page 5 when i posted the link, i didn\'t bother reading the entire thread...too long....but the cool thing is, i didn\'t get banned....cool...again, just misunderstanding...if i had read mm said not to post any link to video, i wouldn\'t have done it, but i didn\'t see it as the thread is very long.

That\'s not what he said. The pic was perfectly fine, but the source of the pic was not.
-
ohh yeah, there\'s another rule that was decided upon recently, all threads that don\'t mention how much the poster loves me will be closed.
These are hard times we live in, but I will enforce this.
-
I think you guys, on the whole, are doing a good job. Keep it up. Don\'t let the rules get pushed farther and farther from \'acceptable\'.
-
To be a mod, you have to hate me. However, nO-One is the exception! :)
-
Another thing...
Stop petitioning to get any mods or admins fired...
Its really lame and annoying...
-
It may be annoying but it is not lame. If there is smoke in the kitchen, something is burning...

That\'s what I am trying to say. Maybe you just misintepret what I am trying to say. Let me rephrase it okay,
as for LIC posting a clothed woman that "was switch to pornographic pic by the webmaster and LIC didn\'t know about it" (didn\'t know this either), was also a misunderstanding...
Not sure if I makes sense here....
-
Seeing as though I happen to be perfect, I\'m the only member who has the credibility to critisize the mods. So everyone, BACK OFF!
Also, every gramatical mistake in this post was made on purpose, even though you may not understand the reasoning for it, I have my agenda, much like God.
-
Let me clear up what I done...
I posted a picture, of a clothed woman in the \'Hot Babes\' thread - but the picture was linked from a pornographic site. She , herself was nude and fell within the guidelines, but anyone who would of went to the main page of the site it was linked from, would of ended up at a porno site. I thought nothing of it - but MM did and deleted it. I am not covering up, was just pointing out, that ALL of us make mistakes.
-
How dare you linked us to pornographic pictures of nude women (we like it actually), and you called yourself superman....shame on you! J/K....:D
anyway, I know what you are trying to say. You gain my respect for admitting that you and we all make mistakes at time.
Because sometimes I find people with power use it to punish someone if they did something wrong...which i agree that they did the right thing if that person really did something wrong.
but what happen if these people with power did something wrong...who is going to punish them?
And another stuff,
Luckee posted a link of a woman fall of the threadmill, yet it was linked to a nude woman with huge boobs. Luckee didn\'t know this or thought anything of it, yep, he got banned for just a "misunderstanding."
But what if a mod have the similiar problem...yep, he realize of this "misunderstanding".
And I respected him for not covering it up and admitted that we all made mistakes. Hopefully from this mistakes, the mods might have to think twice before banning someone because what if it was unintentionallly or another misunderstanding...
if a mod find a member is breaking the rules, at least pm that member and ask him why did he broke the rule to give that member a chance to tell you why such as to clear up a misunderstanding...
nevermind, my english vocabulary is that high to explain even my grammars are all over the place mixed with past and present tenses...
-
I got banned for a week coz I posted a pic of some retard. Yet, mods have done the same thing!
BARNINATE THE MODS! I say!
-
Since you are humans and not perfect it means that the "you are always right" argument isnt valid :D
-
I say ban everyone, we\'ve all done something deserving of a banning...except me, I\'m perfect
-
why not ban me yet again.
-
You like provoking dont you? :p
-
I posted a pic of my gf and was banned for three weeks. dunno why, heard stuff like "retarded pics are evil" or some stuff like that. Was not nice for me :(
