You won't guaranteed. Unless your a pacifist, but then why would you be here on a site thats dedicated to games of war. That would be kind of odd.

I believe it.

I just work at a theater (and get paid, unlike the volunteer moderators) and the complaints I get there drive me insane. I learn to deal with them accordingly. I've kicked people out before (lots of times), and I've been threatened before.

People are hard to deal with, I know.

don't ever work at a fast food restraunt. You get all the morons there. Had one guy coem in and say his burger wasn't cooked. Our grill guy looked at it, through it back and said it was burnt. That guy never came back with a stupid complaint again.

There's also the small tidbit that this site has over one million members, and it sees thousands of posts every day. The moderators aren't always able to take the time to send an explanation or a message. They need to act upon their own judgement and do as they see fit for the situation at hand.

Our Ninjas have their work cut out for them.

When you say stuck up, i'm gonna assume that you aren't being a sick pervert and that you're just saying they're arrogant.

And recon, nice 'yo mama'...didn't see that one coming at all.

Shish made his fame being "like he is" on HBO and subnova. I really don't think he finds it offensive, it's just his personality. And no, not all mods have the same personality, I'd never imply that, they are each individuals. To think otherwise would be insane.

Hey! Jerk!

I am not stuck up. I'm stubborn, and at times arrogant, but I've ALWAYS been approachable. So THPtpthbptHBtpbhpt!!! (That there, is a text representation of the Raspberry sound.)
(:P)


Bah, I wasn't referring to any one mod in particular, and you don't fit the definition of stuck up.

So Thpthpthpthpthop!!!! to you, too :-P

And why the HELL is that called the raspberry sound? Everyone knows raspberries go <CRUNCH>!

I have never heard of an account where a member made a single "simple mistake" and was blacklisted. I've seen where members made the same mistake, and decided to not read the rules (and the mods don't always have to give an explanation, since the rules are at the top of every forum), thus getting themselves blacklisted. But I don't think any mod would blacklist a person right off of the bat because they made one mistake.

And just a random thought, but I think people know when something happens to their thread that they shouldn't be doing it, even if they don't necessarily think about that consciously. I don't think it harms a person's mind in any way when they are blacklisted.


*cough*shishkablacklistedmeforreportingviathewrongmethod*coug h*

when i was a newbie here, and unaware of the PM system and google talk, i saw a flame filled thread, and made a new thread about it to try and get the flamer blacklisted. my first and only time.

guessed what happened when shishka came along. yep. i got blacklisted. also, i had just finished typing the FAQ in my sig when i refreshed, and saw half an hours work wiped out by one paragraph.

did i mention that nothing happened to the guy i was trying to report?

also, as for being permanently scarred... you have no idea... the stupidity in zanzibar... no way to reply and show them how wrong they were... the horror... the horror...

*runs to corner and starts sucking thumb*

this is why shishka needs to let up on his ninja unleashing button now and then.

The mods are good people. If they were not here there would be so many people out of line it isnt funny. They keep us in line and make sure nobody sites there and says bungie sucks bla bla bla. The reason people join this site is so that they can get help, help others or want to know more about the people that made such an amazing game. I dont think people would want to join this site if they saw threads that had people saying bungie this bungie that, or even racist jokes. The mods make it a mature place were people can share info and be freinds and not have to put up with fools. I love this site and I plan on staying, flame me if you want I do not care but if you do your just being immature. Thank you mods for making this site what it is... amazing.

Can't we all just get along! And I wasn't referring to either of you, specifically.

Ach! Was ist los?

I would describe it thus:

Moderating the B.net forums is like firing a minigun in Fallout: now matter how skillful you are, there's always a chance of hitting more targets than you intended.

We don't have a "warning" system here. Your "warning" is that you get banned for 7 days rather than getting banned for longer. That is harsh, I agree, but given the moderator to moron ratio here, the "harsh" way is the best way to deal with things.

Look at it this way - you never made that mistake again, did you?

I'll do it, make me a mod. I bet 50$ I can make everyone like me while I still protect the forums.

Unless he's here for Gnop, of course.

Then again, Gnop is kind of like an epic battle between two paddles... or in my view, at least.

Everyone liked me before I was a mod, well, those that knew me anyway.

Now even if I ban someone for blatently breaking the rules, I get hate mail like crazy. And I think I'm probably the most lenient moderator.
