The moderators do a good job. They have a lot of responsibilities. GameJunkieJim and TGP are cool.

I like them here.They keep it clean and I am sorry but there are not very many clean websites on the net. And they manage to keep it clean.

... If this thread gets locked, it will prove that their character is not on the bright side.

Just to spite you this thread will not get locked. Besides it proves that your personall belief is not shared by the rest of the comunity. So why would they locke something that makes them look goo? If it makes you look bad, well that is your fault.

They normally leave these thread open because they are taken over by "the mods rule!" comments.

No, they are left open for the discussions that can come out of it. We are human and we are not perfect (GASP!); so constructive criticism is always welcome. I never mind people questioning me on a blacklisting/locking of a thread/moving of a thread because I always like to make them see it my way. And if they don't see it my way... well... that's fine as well; at least I know they are not happy with it.

What? No "Too bad you shouldn't have done X"? No "It's the rules, and you broke 'em"? No "I just moderate here"?

That seems so very...very...I'm not sure what the word I'm looking for is...

This should get stickied, I'm sure it helped alot of people remember the rules. I'm sure they just forgot them when they posted their useless thread.

Do you feel what I feel, see what I see, hear what I hear?
There is a line you must draw between your dream world and reality

Theres basically three categories of people:

1. Those that brown nose (look it up)

2. Those that senselessly hate either because of jealousy or because they go themselves banned or blacklisted

3. Those that dont care and see them as people trusted with some power.

I am upset right now with VII Toast. I was banned seven days ago, and honestly do not know precisely why. For some reason he is not accepting PMs, which seems like a dumb thing for a moderator to do. Since I couldn't contact him I tried Shishka, but no luck there.


The other moderators generally don't know why a particular person has been banned unless the banning moderator chooses to tell us, but mostly it's not necessary. So Shishka probably had no idea what you were talking about.

And yes, sometimes a Mod may stop accepting PMs. You might too if you built up 100+ messages a day. And hardly any of them are nice. I can't answer all of my PMs either, and rumor has it that Shishka's past 2000 PMs.

Don't take a blocked PM Box or an unanswered PM as an insult. We're people. With the exception of Shishka we don't know anymore about special projects or release dates than any of you do.

With the exception of the Master Moderators and Achronos, we can't mess with your blacklist so don't ask us to shorten it or unban it. The moderators have a level of trust in each others judgement that a PM from a member isn't going to break, so it's not likely you'll ever get something overturned by "going over our heads". As Achronos will tell you, we were made moderators because we were deemed trustable. It's a small group of moderators, and if my personal experience is similar to the others, we spend full time hours here to help Achronos keep the forum running smoothly.

I know that as a moderator, there will always be resentment from some members. That can't be helped. But next time you want to say that we're overbearing, or doing a poor job, just remember that we do this out of loyalty to Bungie.net, and the welfare of the forum and the rule-abiding members comes first. With (minimum) 700,000 users, and a good 30% of that ignoring the rules count yourself lucky if you even get a PM with a terse message. We do make an assumption that since you are participating on a text-based forum, that you can read, and that you have the common sense to realize that the rules aren't there as placeholders.

If this post is rambling, forgive me, I've been juggling two children, an unruly forum, and kitchen duties since 5:30 AM. It's only 10:00 PM now, but I'm awfully tired. Bless my wife's heart for handling those kids every day.

I know exactly how you feel with the kids and the kitchen duties.I am thankful my son sleeps in though. I am going to enjoy my sleep while I can though cause I have a feeling I will not be so lucky to get another good baby that sleeps through the nite and hardly cries. I am only 3 months pregnant and this baby is already giving me hell.So all hail to you with the kids the forum and the kitchen.

I am not brown nosing. I can care less about what the ninjas think about me, because I am usually in the private groups.

I honestly think they do a good job and they have to deal with a lot of spammers and flamers. The public forums are better because of them. They do make mistakes, but we are all human.

The majority of people fall into #3 i guess. It just seems as if we have a outspoken minority here. What can you do apart from get on with it, and possibly ignore them and give them more "ammunition"


Like in life, if you ignore things, they come back 100 times more annoying than before.

So I think Jun's a master chef, because he takes off his helmet and your like whoa, I think he's a chef.

So to shorten this up, Jun is master chef.

There is one moderator that I don't like and think should be replaced because he locks threads that shouldn't be locked, but I'm not going to mention his name, unless a moderator says I can.

I don't see why you wouldn't be able to, as dmbfan pointed out earlier, we aren't infallible. But I don't think I've seen any moderator be abusive of the priviledge they were given. Mostly when a thread is locked, it's because it's a repeat of a previous thread. A lot of that wouldn't happen if people read the stickies in the forums.

I think that the Moderators on this forum are doing a great job. I know one of them in real life but the rest all look pretty awesome as well. Hope to get to know some of them sooner or later.
