Chris wasn't banned for calling me a fag, he wasn't even warned for that.

I know you weren't but it directly relates to me and I don't want to see anyone getting warned for something that directly relates to me and doesn't offend me. I'm normally an easy going guy and I like to avoid confrontations. Kame said herself that I go too easy on people, it's mostly true.

Moderators may contradict each other every now and then but it's not like it's creating mass chaos. They're different decisions or views coming from different people and it's stupid to go through each situation and force a final decision about which-way it should be.

I was talking about this chu:

It was only to prove my point, that you can't go by the book, because not everyone here is. If everyone did that would be different... but they don't, so it's not possible for her passing the blame on a technicallity.

I believe that well thought out decisions are better than decisions by the book; but I wouldn't care much if everyone went by the book. Just don't half ass the thing you know what I mean? It creates anarchy.

Chu doesn't go too easy on people, see I would have been banned by now if it were up to Chu

You never told me you warned me for calling someone an idiot. Clokr_ told me. So far Beer has been the only one to PM me telling me that I was warned



Yeah, I don't see the justice in that.



And I get warned for the word immature?

Don't be so sure you won't get banned anyway, I'm not the only one who thinks you should be banned.

Take it up with Yoshi.

If he wasn't banned, he would have been warned.

Who said I was sure?

Hmm...why don't we replace the entire mod and admin staff with super noveau AIs? That'd be so awesome. I'd so give up my position to be replaced by an AI

Before my post was deleted, I said something about completly ignoring confrontation, proving my point, etc.

From what I can remember, I think my point was that avoiding confrontation annoys me, and it should stop, or everyone should abide by a code. Since the ladder option is much easier and quicker, I should hope it is implemented, or those who excessivly avoid confrontation should be punished...

...it sounded a lot better last night when I made the original post... really.

This thread is here to voice my opinions, If we all sit here and say "all the mods are awsome and perfect" we don't acomplish anything.



I compleatly disagree with that!!!
If you don't notify the person receaving the warn they don't know that they were warned. And if you are unaware of it, it isn't a warning, its a secretive jab in the back. Warnings arn't here to slowly pickaway at the troublesome members before we ban them. There suppost to inform the member or a wrong doing with the intent that they will change.


I don't know who would of told you not to PM the memebers. I think it should be a requirement, If you can't handle someone freaking out on you cause they were warned then you don't have what it takes to be a moderator. Just calmly answer all there questions and if they don't get it or keep argueing the same point just clarify that the conversation will go no further then ignore them.

I think almost all the mods here fear people getting mad too much. Like yoshi removed members ablity to veiw the warning log cause people would complain to him. And then every once in a while you see Chu's warning logs with some times multiple follow up warnings cause of the person argueing their point. Granted I havn't seen these conversations but I wonder some times if it was a valid warning.


I think many things people report are not warnable offenses. Most of them are from a bias veiw where someone is offended a little two easy. Not to long ago I followed up on a report and warned the guy who was reported AND the guy who reported him cause they were both flaming eachother.


The thing I dislike about Kames modderateing is the vaugeness in the warning log. Such as "Flaming" without any descpriotion or link. Also it is carried out in a unprofessinal way some times. As if there relying on the fact that the members can't see the log.

Thats not just FK and i'm not trying to pick on you FireKame I'm just trying to point out things that I think could be changed for the better.

Most of the flaming I warn for is in the Serious Discussion forum. In technicality, yoshi said they could get banned from the forum altogether for incinuating bans.


Sorry. I started putting snap backs! I just hardly ever saw them when I did warn at the beginning, so I never did post a link.



No worries. I agree.

Heh I had a situation with Kame's warning me

situation?

That's just sloppy.

How can you disagree with that... (I think you just misread) it's the way things are at the moment. Some mods will actually say something, others will avoid confrontation.

Pyscho, help me out here. I've tried to level with you, but I never do anything right. What can I do to make it so that I can change that?

Um, I dunno, actually tell people when they're being warned, stop making spamming topics just because you know no one will do anything about it.

I was going to make a topic spiting yours but somebody had already done it for me, here.

There's this big discussion about the name of the forum affecting spam, and how everyone is sick of the spam, blah blah blah; then you go and make an utterly worthless topic, which you could easily gain the same information by looking at member profiles, right after the forum name is changed. Way to kill the plan. I think I'll make a topic asking "Does your B.Net name start with an odd numbered letter, or an even lettered number".

Come on, if anyone else had made that topic first, it would have been locked. All this bullshit is starting to tick me off.

It'd be nice to see why you got warned. >.>

That's the beauty of not giving links in the warn log, you can say you're too lazy too look up why, and that you're too busy and a host of other worthless excuses.

I've done that like twice, both for flaming me I believe.

Just because a warning level can be increased without writing an PM doesn't mean its the right thing to do. What i belive is the Mods should not be allowed to warn someone without informing the person there warning, about the reason for the warn.

Some times i'll just delete someones post or edit something and not actually tell the individual about it but i'm not warning the person about the occurance.

I believe that too, you're actually taking a lot of points from PMs I sent you when you gave me a screen of my warn. My point is that that's not the way it is. I was simply informing him of the details. But I don't even think she'll start telling people, unless we make a huge deal of it here.

The moderators seem nice to me.
(Probally 'cause I'm trying to get on their good side )

I have nothing to complain about them, they're just doing the job they have to do

I couldn't think of another word to describe it My bank of words in my brain is not much so I use easy words to say things like now. Do you know of good words to say to kill the words situation, like a good word?

Oh, that's not what I mean. What situation? I like to keep informed...I'm trying to become a better moderator; that's what the thread is for

You know the situation about the warn level that got me suspended

I hope Kame becomes a global mod.

ADDITION: I see Kame's modding authority has extended to all of the Other forums

ah yes, that situation. Thanks for jogging my memory

Yea, I'm mod of the off topic forums now. I've been so for a few days only.
