Has anyone else ever felt this way? Options

Personally, I'm usually pretty forgiving. I forgive and move on but when something ends up being a bit unfair and some people start to act really biased towards others and not keep it equal is when I get in the middle of things.

I've always really noticed how some staff members take advantage of being on staff. How they can do anything but go back and yell at someone for doing the same thing they just did or punish the person for doing it; Or how they can go against the rules and then the other staff members see it and never bother to say something because of the fear of getting torn to shreds or even members afraid of saying anything because they know it will never go through and just be solved.

I don't know who all has ever been punished for name calling or have a good talking to about sarcastic and comments that weren't necessary but I know plenty have.

Well just in the past day I've had these comments:


Oh and have you ever kind of had one of those semi conversations in the anonymous shout outs and then have some mod come and break it up because it was against the rules and then go back and see that they as well had conversations in there?

Example:

I'm all about equality and when thats not happening then its not fair. Of course mods have more abilities and responsibilities on this site but there is no reason that they should get away with breaking the rules. I'm sure I could find more examples if I looked hard enough but those are just recent things that were easy to find.

Anyone agree?

I'm sorry (not really), but people take things too seriously. Why must other moderators or administrators get involved with personal problems one member/mod have with another member/mod? Since when did cB moderators become your mother, "fighting your fight for you"? This is not even a fight, it's one person's feelings getting hurt somehow (most likely, he/she's not innocent either) and using the other's moderator's status as leverage to throw them down. If moderators cannot see this, then for shame!


Okay, I don't know what the hell's going on here, but unless that mod is saying "I'm using my modly powers/status to hurt your feelings", then keep the fact that they're a mod out of it. Don't use it as an excuse. Just because they're a mod doesn't mean they can't be sarcastic or be mean to someone if that someone's deserving.

Being "people staff" doesn't mean you have to be everyone's best friend, damn it.
