If mods break the rules, how are they punished?

I was banned from a forum I regularly post on for calling someone a prick. That's fair enough, I accepted it. I asked a legitimate question on feedback regarding a quicker way to reply to messages with quotes and italics etc and the response was to be called a lazy bastard and then the thread was ultimately locked.

You were accused of being lazy, after you complained about having to take a simple action to acceive something. That is lazy. Now, the addition of "bastard" makes the point more insulting, but the point stands, it's not just vulgar abuse and a greater degree of leeway will be given my most mods on most forums (just how much depends on the mod and the forum).

The thread was locked because the original post was illogical and the thread was therefore pointless.

fade2black

Not to inflame the thing further, but why was it illogical? That feature is used on many other forums and I just thought it would be useful on this one.

Tar.Aldarion

illogical because it saves about one seconds time and the feature is already available.
it gives busy people work to change it for no reason.

Ah right, well like spell checks and a lot of other things in the feedback section, it was just a suggestion.

Have you rapscallions no dignity. Reinstate that Mod pronto. Its painful whine can be heard reverberate through the cirques and corries of Boards.

What a bunch of 'miss nancies' - i didnt say that it it was Bill the Butcher's adversary The Priest.


pcwares wondering (for a nano) how any of you get any.

Tar.Aldarion

I was banned for a week recently for saying that I felt that Limerick was depressing and grey. Was just my opinion & was said subsequent to a post where some poor girl had her jacket and phone robbed and her handbag was pissed in......

...... Indeed depressing and grey.

Have also seen a number of instances where Mods seem to pounce on anything witty or harmlessly funny....Humour is a big part of these boards and the "Police" need to step back occasionally methinks.

but... hehe

This was Limerick I presume - what a dreary, grey, hopeless hole of a place....

Please use common sense when using this Forum

I don't think calling a place where people live and call home a hopeless hole of a place is very progressive or insightful. Do you?

Singing out loud in the shower or possibly else were around your abodes would do you lot wonders.

Why are people being so nasty to us mods these past few days? I'm getting very down due to all this negativity brought on by certain posters.

Sheesh, you try to help a community out and all you get is witty quips like "you should get out more" and "you should sing aloud in the shower" and "don't put it there, it doesn't fit". I tell you it really is saddening. Makes me want to ban Million_Dead's new account just for some fun in prison.

Meh it's the same everywhere mate. Offline and online.


Personally I couldn't care less. If someone acts the muppet in a forum I moderate and isn't contributing anything, I have no quarrels with banning them. I even have no problems with the abusive pm's I occasionaly get about it. I have bigger things to care about tbh.

Then again, I don't tie my ego to my avatar so maybe I'm just different.

I didn't say I don't care about things. I just find people taking extreme insult to and get worked up over some random person calling them an idiot online amusing.
