MOD WARNING SYSTEM Options

[*kryogenix*]

I have been a victim of moderator abuse TWICE (three times if you count the one I'm bringing up about the cosplay thread) now only recently.

I think there should be a mod warning system in place, where users can vote against a moderator's action and then once they abuse their powers to a certain point, they get kicked off the team.

Cause I'm sick of it.

Then what about the mod vendettas against users?

Ballistic? I'm doing my part to help the community! Now that you guys have defined what is warn worthy, I've been vigilant in finding posts that go against these definitions.

Oh gosh, no one (that I know of) has a vendetta against anyone.

Honestly, it's just the choice of the mods. Most of them aren't 'mature' enough to handle the power of what to close, and what to warn about. Half the threads that are closed don't need to be and 90% of the actions most of the mods take on behalf of assuming things are in fact, wrong.

Well you know, part of that might be because of the youth factor (both in age and in the amount of time on staff).

Something that has been definitely brought up Backstage (hope it's ok for me to say this) is the idea of communicating with someone prior to closing (unless it's something blatent, like advertisting). Typically what is desired is for the person that has made a thread that seems like it should be closed to get a PM, to ask them what's up. I think a lot of premature closing of threads could be solved that way. Now on the chance that someone's PM box is full (and to acknowledge something Kryo has said before, of course it's your choice rather or not to clean out your inbox), what would be great is if someone were to respond in that thread and just ask. It never hurts to ask.

Funny, because I don't know of any specific user-mod vendettas either. But we still seem to be having problems...
