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?

Oh, good question.

If this were two members, I suppose it makes sense that mods encourage them to work out their personal issues outside of cB or in private, but not force them either, because moderators are not meant to be tyrants unless the situation is that dire.

If the situation is still personal, and one is a moderator and one is a member, then why is a mod is the one being scrutenized when the other member is equally guilty? Shouldn't other moderators still use the same discretion mentioned prior to be fair? Just because one's a mod shouldn't mean he/she's a paragon of virtue.


Hell, if that's the case then no one should be a mod... haha. (i'm trying to entertain myself here... ignore this and the previous sentence).
