not to be rude, but... Options

[angel-roh]

when some mods say we can't double post nor spam, how come they spam or double post?





if they become a mod, do they have a freedom to do whatever they want and break a rule? i thought it wasn't fair for the other members. they get warned for double posting a lot or spamming and when some mods do that, they dont get warned...


so yeah just wanted to say that... that's rude and messed up.

Hi Mr. Createblog,

While you retain the right to do whatever you deem fair to keep this community a fun place for all, I hope that you'll remember to hear the story from both sides. What I've seen so far is just good humored fun from mods and ill-humor ONLY when it is warranted. Perhaps being a moderator requires that they must keep on a smiling face all the time and forgo their own emotions, but that can hardly be done if they must face perpetual offenders to the guidelines. If you see a fault with being "mean" and "rude", to those who repeatedly ignore the rules of this community, then I really don't see the point of having moderators.

To be fair, yes, I have seen a couple of double posts here and there made by mods, but I've noticed that, at least, they're relevant to the topic and helps us to continue discussing it. If there are posts that are just plain spam then and only then it would be just to count it against them.

As for the comment Miss Roh made about warning new members, I didn't think that was fair. I understand that it's <sarcasm> hard </sarcasm> to read and abide by the guidelines when people repeatedly tell them to, but that doesn't mean that they should be able to get away with spamming, asking questions that have already been answer one too many times... etc. Unless there are other things that they are warned for that is unfair, I can say that I am grateful to the moderators for doing their job.

I am definitely not saying that all the moderators are saintly and have not done wrong, but I am saying that while they have fun, the rest of us do, too, with the exception of bitter people who've been warned and still can't take a hint. I don't know what you plan for these forums, but I certaintly do not hope to see so many repeated topics, people who can't form coherent sentences, spamming and the likes.

About mods who abuses their power... I haven't seen an example of it yet and I'm sure you would like to see examples, too, before making any decision about demoting. Maybe Miss Roh will kindly supply us all, or just you and the offender, with proof.

Thanks for hearing me out.
