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?

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

yea, I'm well aware of that. But if they don't have to abide by the rules then I don't see why members do or why the moderators have to have their own set of rules too if they can just sit back and break them.

That's very true, but such a problem can be solve so easily.

Rules are meant to be broken, and they will be broken faster than you can sneeze when those rules are shoved down everyone's throats. I'm not condoning that cB should forgo rules/guidelines, no, I am saying that everyone is smart enough (or should be smart enough) to use his/her discretion. When this is realized but a member or a moderator is still being a jerk, then demote him/her or warning, whatever.

What rules were being violated here? Member bashing or spam (iono)? For the sake of reminding me the guidelines, will someone define for me what member bashing is to cB?
