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.

I remember when I PMed Jusun asking if I could be a mod and BAM it happened!

Forgive me if I start going off tangent:

Dani - Your activity was questioned? If anything, you seem more active than I ever was when I was an admin while I was still active (Now I feel guilty =X). And this is coming from me, who doesn't really log on as much, but I LURK a lot of the times.

Since I was a former admin (I feel special when I say that... :P), for what you said, Dani, about doing "nothing" in most cases in regards to actual modding (moving/closing/etc.), I did the same. In the past, I would used the search feature a lot. Since I was active, I knew which topics were duplicates or were semi-relevant, and I would merge them together. Instead of having a thread closed, perhaps it could be merged. And it wouldn't change the other topic, since newer posts are at the end. It's also a great way to bump up old topics, especially those that were (maybe still are?) worthy topics that sparked great discussion. I say this because it doesn't seem like some threads were being merged, in the past (like a month ago). Maybe I'll go look some up as I come across any.

I mean, some of the topics now do spark discussion and all, but not to the extent where people actually READ all the posts. As people have mentioned before (was it Michael--mipadi-- who mentioned it quite a while ago?), there's members who just post ONCE in the thread and don't even look back, nor do they realizie that plenty of their posts are duplicates of others, saying the exact same without realizing it.

As for the warning system... I guess I don't have much to say about that part, since I never actually warned anyone in the past.
