CleanGSR Posted October 13, 2006 Share Posted October 13, 2006 I didn't realize the first one was delted, but that sure made me change my opinion. Mods abusing their power at it's best right there. We should be allowed to voice our opinion....I agree. It's in General Discussions and looks like a general discussion, so I see no reason why it should be deleted. Further, we're not bashing the mods, just stating our opinions about them. Maybe they should give a reason for deleting it next time. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Chubs Posted October 13, 2006 Share Posted October 13, 2006 CRG7 is in this thread right now, IBTL. But I agree, we should be able to voice our opinion and if your going to delete the thread atleast let us know why. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

CRG7 Posted October 13, 2006 Share Posted October 13, 2006 The first one was deleted for a reason. Any time any of us mods take action around here, you guys turn into little schoolgirls, which is funny because that's the same way you guys act if we don't do anything around here. There are 4 active moderators. Yes, active. Sure, none of the moderators post as regularly as the members, but we're on. Instead of posting, we're busy sorting through threads, posts, reported posts, and having discussions on anything necessary within the moderator's forum. The rules of this forum need to be followed, and certain members need to learn to respect the members of this forum as well as the moderating team. If you want the lockdowns, deletes, warnings, and suspensions to stop, then follow the rules because that's the only way it will happen. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Chubs Posted October 13, 2006 Share Posted October 13, 2006 VR, does Drew only make people mods that he personally knows like I said in the other one that got deleted? I have never seen a mod on here that doesn't live in Calli. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I have never seen a mod on here that doesn't live in Calli. You must have never seen me on here. I live in New York. Most of us have been moderators from the beginning, and Drew obviously trusts us with the board. He also checks in with our discussions in the moderator's forum, so he is aware of what we deal with.

You have to agree that there have been a lot of threads that serve no purpose. Yes, it's GD, but there are a lot of threads that everyone can agree just don't really belong as threads.

CRG7 Posted October 14, 2006 Share Posted October 14, 2006 Well, XSCaraudio needs to be replaced. I vote SSR. This thread doesn't need to turn into a nomination thread. However, SSR really isn't on much anyway so I'm not sure why he'd be nominated. Anyway, there is one person I'd like to have added to the moderating team, but we'll see.

CleanGSR Posted October 14, 2006 Share Posted October 14, 2006 I'll agree to that. I generally don't have a problem with the mods.....I just disagree with the Nancy thing this time around. Of course, I see both sides with how she acted last time, but we won't start that up again. Dang I'm slow.....this was in response to Ashley's thread about 3 or 4 up.

I already responded on the locked threads, and I'm sure VR would agree as would any of the other mods or the admins. Would you guys really like a board that is filled with hundreds of threads that shouldn't have been made, that in turn lag the board and it ends up crashing daily because of the server/database overload? I'm sure that's not what Drew wants from his board, otherwise he wouldn't have any moderators. I wish we could see who voted in the poll, because it went from 4 when I saw it one time, to 104. The roughly 20 pages then a lock is because threads that are really long will lag, so it is for the good of the users of the board that they get shut down before that happens. You're entitled to your opinion, but every time we take action, we get to hear everyone cry about it. I'm sure if it were rapperbasher (no offense to him) that was suspended, this thread would not exist (nor would the first one). Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

TLontheDL Posted October 14, 2006 Share Posted October 14, 2006 You all want to take this to private messaging? Threads like this make our GD look trashy and unorganized.

Jeffro Posted October 14, 2006 Share Posted October 14, 2006 You all want to take this to private messaging? Threads like this make our GD look trashy and unorganized. Just talk it out behind closed doors. No need for polls about authoritiies. If you MUST to make one, do so in the suggestion section. My $.02: Locking every other thread and coming up with rules on a whim to warn people for (what is the point of "warn" anyway?) makes the site look trashy too... Not that it is all the mod's, admin's, or regular's faults. There is simply a lot of tension between Regular's and Mod's, and everyone else and noob's, etc. I will probably never have as many posts as many of you, because I don't consider this my #1 pick for a forum because of all the garbage that comes up... BUT it is General Discussion, and technically speaking, if "Anything Goes", then anything should go, aside from porn and swearing or otherwise offensive material to an outsider looking in... To get back on topic, since it's "Extremely" important to some, as a nOOb, IMO SOME moderators push the limits of what would be considered reasonable for a mod. I read VR17's signature since that is important too apparently, and here's what I have to say about that: It appears that there is some hatred for just about everyone in that signature. Making rules like "its a newbie question, use the search button" is only flexing muscles. I've searched for things and gotten plenty of crap to sort through, and often times it would be much easier and quicker (not to mention, learn any updates to the old posts) to just start a "fresh" thread. Besides, that's what a message board is all about, discussion. On top of this, VR17's "Why did I get a warn?" includes: - because your dumb!! - useless post that dont make sence - pointless post Now, because I'm tired of typing, tell me what looks trashy... The above "rules" for getting warned and posting etc., or starting a discussion about the direction of this board and it's moderators who want to carry power too far?
