Well yea. But that kind of goes without saying, because when does anyone, mod, member, or psycho killer clown ever act under the assumption that what they are doing is the WRONG thing?

I don't think that was anywhere close to being the point...

I think what she meant was that she doesn't have the right to call them 'kids' if she is one.

^ Oh. Well that's fairly inane then, isn't it.

Well, that's only true if they consider that they HOLD a personal bias, or that their judgement is irrational.

True, but it isn't unnatural to hold those feelings against belligerent individuals, I consider it pretty human. I guess ya gotta just push those feelings to the side when deciding what best fits the situation.

Well obviously it's natural, but given that everyone does it, it ought to more or less cancel itself out in our minds...

If people want a way to "voice their opinion (no matter how rude or mean)." Maybe we should create a "Non-anonymous Shoutouts" topic

We tried that, and it was shut down for people's feelings getting hurt.

I just meant that because we know that everyone acts on the assumption that they are doing the right thing, and that that may result in rashness, there is not point in applying that theory to individuals, because it is equally true of everyone else.

I don't necessarily agree with that. While I see where you're coming from, I think there will always be people that thing things through rationally and not emotionally before passing judgment regarding punishment/consequences. But as to the vast majority, I see your point as valid.

I am going to agree with Steve somewhat. I do not believe that everyone has this perpetual knee-jerk reaction to things. Sometimes it happens - you hit the panic button, you have to rush off and do something so you want to take care of it quickly or you simply make an error. It does happen. So while a judgement may or may not be the best one, or the right one, that doesn't mean that there should always be an insta-gavel approach to moderating.

Lenient : Allow deviation from the topic as long as it doesn't completely abandon the topic or resort to people fighting and only fighting with no regard to the topic. Allow people to voice their opinion (no matter how rude or mean).
That is pretty much what has been happening recently.

So I don't understand comments such as 'omg the mods are such nazis and uptight assholes. they need to be less lenient and not have sticks up their asses.' (Not directed at you.) WHAT THE HELL DO YOU MEAN BY LENIENT? They are lenient. Be specific.

Anyway, I just broke the tie.

It depends on each member that they deal with. They dont actually treat everyone equally. there's favoritism and there are also vendettas.

Personally I think the whole system is corrupt.

The rules are initially enforced equally. When you disobey them over and over and over again and create a reputation for yourself, people have to look at you more closely and your punishments will get more severe.

If a member is spamming, I might warn them. After that they might get the picture.

But if a member constantly spams, and they have already been warned numerous times before--a warning isn't going to do it. They have earned a more severe punishment. Their posts will probably be set to be previewed by other moderators, or disabled.

You earn your own spot.



nah, i'm not convinced. sorry.
