Subject: PETITION: A "The Classifieds" moderator (solely based in ...

So I think we all know already that the 'Fieds is a forum that is inactive and some of the actual active members here are just trolls (Blite/GetBetterKid) as well as that clans sometimes like to mock other clans for whatever reasons they can find. Most of this goes un-moderated unless it gets really out of hand.

My idea: A moderator solely based in the 'Fieds. Maybe it would make the forum a bit more aspiring being that a lot of groups and clans probably don't like posting with troll such as Blite/GetBetterKid around. We already have Evilcam, but no offence to him since he is a cool guy, there's only so much he can do; the 'Fieds is one of those forums that few moderators bother to moderate, and Evil is one of those few that do take the time to come here.

There's no real idea of who could be a moderator here other than really the regular 'Fieds members. No, don't argue about it in the comments of this topic or anything.



Now yes, I know this topic will likely be locked, myself probably banned or warned for off-topic posting and that the idea itself is very unlikely to happen. But hey, there's a word called Hope, isn't there.

They call me Mister Nuke. You, my fine acquaintance, may call me Mister Nuke. Welcome to the wonderful dystopia that is my user page. If you're here about something I may have done to upset you, do not waste your precious time sending me a message. I will not reply. There is a good chance it was not really upsetting and that you are angry over nothing. If it was a "big deal," then well, my bad.

I'll put my name down for this.

It seems like a good idea, considering the fact the Classifieds have became a haven for trolls.

Like the southern coast of Valenwood and Hammerfell are for pirates raiding Alinor.

Sad but true. We had the DeafTeletubby topics yesterday, we have Blite who regularly goes around making hateful comments on people and there's no moderation of it. Sure some of the trolls keep the 'Fieds a bit active, but mostly it's us regulars.

And this will hopefully change that.

Yes, it would likely help do so. I mean, people would likely be less hateful to each other if they knew a moderator was watching them. Sure it seems a bit crazy but when people do go over the top about silly things then there has to be someone to stop them from going further; such as the CSF Hating on the 501st topic I mentioned yesterday, it ended only when Evil came and stepped in. As stated in the OP, Evilcam likely doesn't have enough time to moderate only the 'Fieds and being that trolls usually stop whilst there are people "watching" them then it would be a safer place to post in.

If it doesn't help, I'd be quite surprised. Once the main trolls stop, most people who are thinking of trolling will likely think twice as well.

True. It would be nice if we did have more people voting in on this petition, though some trolls will likely be very much against it.

Little update: The moderator should not be clan biased or anything. He/she should fairly keep the forums safe and not just do what he/she wishes to do so. He/she should also read a topic numerous times before choosing to lock it or ban someone.

Like any other fair moderator, really. Bungie is usually pretty good at who they choose to be a moderator.

moderators are aloud to moderate any and all forums... they have no set forums. and to be serious there are only 5 people that come to this forum on a regular basis so it does not need its own mod. if you see a bad post report it.

who said evilcam is always moderating here?

and to me this just sounds like another "Plzzz make me Mod" thread but from a legendary member.

No one ever suggested that either of us become mods. I've never had any intention or want to be one, personally. Your point is invalid.

Ooh, I love those people, the ones who decide to throw everything and the kitchen sink at you, as if an M16 does anything to a T-90. Oh, MLG player with noobtube instead? Congrats! You blew off one of my ablative plates!

It must be cleverly worded if that's what it sounds like to you.

I think Evilcam does a fantastic job of moderating these forums.

Also you say that a regular user of these forums should be a mod. Pretty dumb idea as they will have already made up their mind on certain users and are most likely currently or previously part of a clan that advertises here.

The only person that would give equal, impartial moderation to all in the classifieds out of the regs here would be me. Now I am sure you would all love that and admittedly I would be the best mod around (except for the all knowing Evilcam of coarse), but I am afraid I would most likely have to decline.

Nice try though TC.

Honestly, if you just pm a mod they will take action.

I used to act like a total jerk here. Then I got banned for thirty days or something.

Learned my lesson. The Mods do a fine job here Unique Trooper. and GetBetterKid just proved that "it" is still going to act like a d-bag when the Mods aren't looking.

I do wonder, are we still on that clans notorious list for trolling their recruitments.

Which one? That wolf one that wouldn't even accept playing me in a 2v1, where I am the 1.

This is a horrible idea. The Classifieds are supposed to be a bastion of chaos, a society of rebellion, a total anarchy.

The only place on Bungie.net where you can post whatever you want and the moderators do not care.

Do you really want to take that away?

Uhh, no. The Classifieds is supposed to be a place for people to recruit for their groups.

- How often does the report system work? It can be quite a while before a moderator notices and in some cases it can be quite pointless.

- I never did say Evilcam is always moderating here, I know for one I have seen him before in the Flood and only rarely here.

- I would never want to be a moderator anyway. This was as the name states, a suggestion. I have had my days of moderating many times on other forums for several years now and I for one know it can be quite a hard job.

A little more mod attention would be nice. Just to keep things classy. Generally speaking we handle the troll(s) pretty well, but technically speaking we're not even supposed to do that.

I think the knowledge that there is a mod watching would do a lot. Cut down on the fights, trolling, spamming, advertising on others threads.

I'm in.
