I think we've even cut back on how harsh we are here. The rules were greatly reduced in January of this year, allowing us to not have to look for as many things, while at the same time giving more leeway to members.

Plus, we're not issuing 14-day bans in the Flood like we did for a couple months back in 2009 (or was it 2008?).

I remember back when the bans were really long when the incident occured in the flood. I also remember the massive carpet banning of certain threads for. I also remember Porch Day...*oh the humanity* where there were so many locked threads and bans dealt out.
But recently its gotten pretty relaxed which is cool but i do expect an increase in punishment once Bungie releases its new IP so to prevent all the newbies from going crazy/ demolishing the forums.

Thanks for wasting my time, dude. Also, the moderation isn't biased, they just see things differently and so judge them based on their own past experience.

If I remember correctly, it was a MOAP meme. I don't know who started it, but I remember seeing Pezza do it a lot.

The hell? There needs to be harsher enforcement. Have you looked at The Flood in the past two days? Nothing but trolls.

Honestly, I hate to use his term, but so many people are so irreversibly butthurt about bans they've received where they don't know why they were banned that they seem to view every slightly questionable moderation action as an injustice to the community at large.


More personal attacks. Has it ever occurred to you that people may criticise the way in which these fora are policed simply because they find that policing inadequate?

Posted by: CrazzySnipe55
At the risk if being called a kiss ass (for what will seem to be the 50th time this week), people are way too hard on the group of Fourty-Two froum ninjas (only about 10 of which are active on a consitantly regular basis) that we have.


Then more moderators need to be recruited. It's easily done.

Posted by: CrazzySnipe55
Nobody sitting here complaining would be any better a mod than the ones we have are. It's easy to criticize from the outside looking in.


Probably false, though it's less about the individuals than the culture they're encouraged to adopt when moderating. Moderators are given far too much leeway, such that rules are enforced and "offenders" penalised inconsistently.

Entirely your fault. What kind of anonymous internet acquaintance let's a guy drink and moderate?

  • 11.09.2011 3:13 PM PDT

They're doing a swell job.

Except for that one time when they banned me. That wasn't nice.

If you don't like it, PM them. If you STILL don't like the outcome, PM Urk or Achronos. Mods don't just run around with underwear on their head and ban people. If you get banned/warned you probably did something to warrant it.

At times, yes. The only time that I really feel that the moderation is harsh is when a user recieves a 7-or-more-day ban that should be a lot less.

For example, I have recieved two 7-day bans that to me seems a little too much. So I sent a PM to the Mod that banned me and after a few exchanged PMs, I finally got my ban reduced to 3 days rather than 7. (Thanks Foman<3)

Got a question, comment, or concern? PM me.

I just don't like how there is a grey area on where the mods can ban.

It should be clean cut, if you break the rules then you are banned. Not left for interpretation by moderator.
