banned from feedback


isn't it great the way a mod gets nothing but abuse for all the hard work they do, lemming has to do more than most of us, yet gets no thanks for it.

the rest of ye better start giving some proper feedback or this won't be the last banning.

When you are a mod(which is a choice btw) you must take the good with the bad, would people complain if Berty done something that seemed very stupid and outragous?

Yes, but probably in a coherent and cohesive manner.

Mods are people too bucko. They make mistakes, just like you etc.... If Bertie made a mistake and somebody came along and said Bertie is forever pulling out his e-cock (or use any letter to describe the TeeShocks appendage) well then they are going to get the same treatment.

I'm not saying don't complain, do. But don't act like a complete idiot just because a Mod "appears" to have made a harsh and incorrect decision.

Doctor J Are you some sort of genetic combination of apathy and a keyboard? If you don't have any valid contribution then I fail to see why you're wearing out those keys and adding to the current drain on the national power grid. Take up a sport, fly a kite, just go do something worthwhile.

This whole episode screams "Help!!". I think Lemming is in over his head and the stress is showing.

Maybe he needs a break from modding the forum.

I'm sorry, I lost interest after this nugget

This website is not serving you Mods

Nothing like unsubstantiated blanket criticism to invalidate a contribution, eh? Please don't make rash accusations about groups of people here, for if you had bothered to read the thread fully you would see there are mods on both sides of the debate here. If you do have a point to make, kindly stick to facts while making it.

I doubt that much more can come from this thread. Daveg has made his claim to which most people have thrown in there 2 cents, and to which Lemming has responded.

What ever comes of Lemming's consult with the other FS mods, should probably be taken to the PM level and if Daveg still feels wronged, then maybe open up another thread, as this one has gone to the 'insult the world and its mother stage'.

My comment wasn't really pointed towards lemming it was just a general statement, sorry for the misunderstanding

I'll be honest with you here I was so pissed I was going to resign as mod over this issue.

daveg, really, if Lemming has some issues to sort out, you've twice as many going by this. Maybe you should consider a bit of timeout yourself? Almost on-par with our dear Rozie in the drama stakes

We're batting this issue about at the moment and if any changes to the rules are being made they will be announced in FS General.

As for those going for all out insults, don't expect any leniency from me in FS in future, I will be watching you like a hawk. An Internet hawk. With eyes of liquid crystal and talons of silicon.

Doctor J you have:

1) Extracted 7 words from my earlier post - [randomly was it?]
2) Quoted them out of context.
3) Isolated them so they lost their intended meaning.
4) Misunderstood or just chosen to ignore my original point/points.
5) Made incorrect assumptions about how I have read this thread [?]
6) Pointed out the established and obvious
7) So stick to the facts you say? - ah but the irony will be lost on you

- A master of spin and sensation you are not my friend - my kite suggestion still stands.

Not at all, after a quick glance through your post history reveals a taste for mod bashing when the opportunity arises, so again, I put it to you, base your claims in fact and stop trying to divert the topic.

I don't see how I'm being a drama queen by saying that I was thinking of resigning my mod status because I have recieved a ban 6 times longer than a regular user, because I am a mod. I would have thought that was quite a normal reaction.

No, I'd expect any mod to get a harsher sentence than a regular user, and that's how I dish them out myself. I would expect the same from any other moderator.

If anything it dispels the notion that we're an old boys club.

Maybe I can agree for a blatent rule break. But for a "grey area" issue such as this....

Well yes, we've decided that the 6 week ban was ott, and it'll be put to rest soon, expect some private communicae to that effect.

Hardly, it was mock-serious as indicated by the smiley and the Rozie comparison. Not to mention the Internet hawk part.

We all know the FS Mods are really part of the Super Adveture Club

On a more serious note, I thought this thread was absolutely hilarious.

i thought a mod was but a regular user in every other forum but the one s/he modded. That has always been what i understood. Seems a bit divisive to have one rule/punishment for regular users and another for mods...

Must be springtime, what with all this antler-bashing and such....:D

Cult,
do you have any examples of this? i.e. other Mods getting harsher treatments on FS and you (or other Mods) being treated harsher on other boards?

I've never done anything warranting a ban (and as a result have never been banned).

There are some examples of mods getting somewhat less leniant treatment, not many because mods generally don't get their noses dirty in FS, but I'm not going to go looking for them.

Fair enough. I wasn't really aware of the one rule for Mods, one for the other users in practice on the FS boards.

Actually it's not specifically aimed at mods, it's just that experienced users often happen to be mods.

A user from 2001-2003 with ~1000 posts will get the same treatment mod or not. Maybe 2004s seeing as it's now 2006 and all...

I'm just generalising here; if we think a user should have known better then we adjust our decisions accordingly. May the seven kings of the Internet bless our system of justice.
