Vanamonde Posted April 24, 2016 Share Posted April 24, 2016 Problems within the moderation staff are handled internally, usually just by talking about it. But it almost never comes up. If we weren't pretty even-tempered people, we wouldn't have been chosen for the job. Oh, and I can't recall a situation where it involved breaking a forum rule.

kmMango Posted April 25, 2016 Share Posted April 25, 2016 (edited) How hard is it not to abuse your powers? I recently read a thread where RIC offered a forum user help with an issue, and asked them a few questions to help diagnose it. That user proceeded to call him unhelpful and told him not to comment if he wouldn't help. Being a good human being, Red didn't demand respect for his position, and told the user that they could place him on their ignore list if they didn't wish to hear from him. I wanted to slap them, and Red meanwhile told them how to use a forum tool to block himself. How hard is it to take that from people? Also, have there been any incidents of mod power abuse? And max? Change your sig. Most of us like Red because he's so involved and knowledgeable. Consider how few forums there are where you could criticize a mod like that without getting banned.

We kinda pay attention to what the other mods do and using moderator access for personal reasons is not condoned at all. Plus we try to select people who wouldn't do so in the first place. Quote I recently read a thread...<snip>... How hard is it to take that from people? Oh boy, that's minor stuff. Some of the PMs we get are hot enough to smelt ore. (By the way, the thread you were looking at must be from before I was a moderator, AFAIK you can't put a mod on your ignore list.) Quote Also, have there been any incidents of mod power abuse? Not during my tenure as a mod. If there were before then I don't think anyone would talk about them, just as we don't talk publicly about moderation of individual members.

kmMango Posted April 25, 2016 Share Posted April 25, 2016 So you weren't a mod. You had no reason to be as civil as you were, but you were anyway. Respect increased. Anyway, I'm not surprised to hear that there isn't much abuse. You guys seem pretty levelheaded. As for individual offenders, say no more. I had ringside seats to a couple of those fiascos in RB. I'm ashamed to say I even participated in it initially, until it got out of hand. I was still new then, though. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Dfthu Posted April 26, 2016 Share Posted April 26, 2016 (edited) How come the 1.1 pre-release forum is still open? 1.1 released already.
