Incompetence or just stupidity?

I'm obtaining his consistencey through the way he treated people. Everyone was a forumer. Through that I can assume that he was consistent in general.
Fair point.
But do you think that each Moderator will not go near anyone they know or like because of favouritism?
Do you think thats what I do? -

Let me teacher you some tips.
If you're going to troll, you should at least do the following:
1.) Use spell check on www.google.com
2.) Be known around a little bit.
3.) Start with something basic, make it go big.
4.) Don't use the same "troll" every time.
5.) Know the person well enough you're trolling, so you don't look like a total idiot in front of the whole community.
I hope these tips work.
who cares garbage -

Irrelevant to my post. I don't mean Greycloak's lack of bias when moderating, I mean his lack of bias in how he treated people (when he was moderating).
Normally when I dealt with Greycloak or saw other people deal with him, he treated them all pretty much equally. Ofc I could just be lacking information, in which case my main point is still relevant, I just don't have any real examples for this community. -
My take on this is that I do Moderators shouldn't care if people hate them because they did something relating to the rules(THEIR JOB). People hate bill collectors but its their job so they deal with it. Now with that said, it must be depressing to be a bill collector -.- I believe you bring out good points to the MODS but we need to make it easier for them. We can criticize how "Bad" the mods are but in all reality, I believe it comes down to us to improve the community and make their jobs easier. We can't expect "Change" or in an improvement in our community or from our Moderators if we don't provide some motivation for them. Yeah it's their job and people make mistakes but so do we. From what I've read on the thread, not just denxi's post, it makes sense and was a nice read.

On insulting, I believe it's just stupid to downgrade somebody over a Gaming Forum. Even though most of you just say "Its Just a Game" and it is, people don't come here to get more problems from others. I do believe that if you insult somebody no matter what, it should be handled according to the rules, not to the "discretion of the MODS". Rules are rules. Whether your saying "You Have Bad Hair" or saying "Your Bad Cuz You Have Cancer" still means your insulting regardless. -

Ahh I see what you mean. Then I do admit im a culprit, for the most part, of what you meant. -

Have a dedicated forum to rule breaking? -
TASTELIMES wrote: »Yes why not? Not a forum, but a section. Not just rule breaking, but debate threads that are a little more flexible, Ex. Not being closed after the 2nd post. It would benefit everyone.
No. Thats backwards logic. You cant have a section dedicated to breaking the rules or discussions.
I would love a discussion section.. but as I stated before, it always degrades to trolling and insulting.
Trolling noted btw... just a heads up for any other people wanting to sugest this. -

defiantly some hardcore e-fame on post count..
like really?
its useless, why do they have a post count?
they should just have names like:
I spend my life on forums
Forums rules
1337 4mer
and for l0lsmilyface : I am a huge nerd who post on random threads -

Have a stricter policy in that section then, any form of trolling and insulting leads to infractions given out straight away, bans, etc. -

who gives a crap, just make a section, called no rules, with no post count
and a warning: you will be trolled -
So then moderate it.
It doesnt work like that. There is no point making a section that will inevitably get trolled and have us around here more often because people cant keep their mouths shut and their actions civil.
This is borderline closed. Its only staying open people people here are now being civil. Ive spent the best part of an hour watching this thread. I dont want to do this all the time. If you want. Go to SUaF forums for debates and discussions were rules are more lenient for such a thing.. but not on a gaming forum. -

By your logic there is no point in making any sort of forum. -

I do admit that I don't pay as much attention to the competitive forums as much as I should, mostly because in reality I have little competitive experience.
However, as competitive play yes, I expect some trash talking, even in sports it happens, but at the end of the day most don't care about their personal life nor dive into it, and they most certainly don't bring it back to the game. Guess I was expecting the competitive section to be more mature and professional even with ego.
I moderate it usually when brought to my attention or casual browsing, but perhaps I should do so more. Would have thought it would have required the least supervision.
My apologies for favouring the other sections a bit more, was wrong of me. -
