Soccer forum inconsistent carding

Context would probably help tbh.

Eg, if I said a player on a rival team was a shithead after he did something then that's imo abuse and should be carded.

But if a player on the team I support did something stupid and I said "he's such a shithead 🤣🤣🤣", is that abusive? Personally I don't think so and I'd be a bit annoyed to get carded for it.

Now by the letter of the law, the latter is technically abusive but you'd expect the common sense approach from the mods to apply.

DM7 would be one of the better mods.

Certainly compared to how the forum was before it is currently running far better than it has in years.

Wum's obviously will dislike this.

A ban that long seems more likely to be down to an accumulation of cards.

If its a 6 month ban of just calling Arnautovic a racist you should PM Beasty. If its an accumulation of your own doing well thats on you.

Not surprising its all DM7 I mean the long term inactivity/inaction of some of the long term "moderators" was raised in annual feedback thread.

I doubt its "hovering" moreso hes one of the very very few mods actually moderating one of the sites larger forums.

Regarding bias your claiming that your 3 month (then 6) was solely down to calling a player racist simply isn't true (you admitted it wasnt that single incident that banned you) and seems more like bias against a mod who dared moderate you.

I got a card for using the slap head name and appealed it using newspapers articles and pro footballers and pundits using the name to show it wasn't a term of abuse.

It was denied and Beasty locked the thread before I could appeal to an Admin.

Fair enough they were rules around the forum so I excepted it.

Another poster went to used the same name and went to dispute about it and used the same defence and newspaper articles I did and whoa surprise it was dealt with totally differently and lifted the card and Beasty closed the thread.

I reported this saying the about lack of consistency even in dispute resolution however I never got a reply and went to myself this is just the way of the soccer forum.

In general though I do think the moderation as gotten a lot better the last couple of years.

"it's only a warning" is a sentiment that would be fine elsewhere on boards, but in the soccer forum, cards add up to bans very quickly

Then you as an Admin can clearly see the inconsistency and have no issues with it at all by the looks of it and the issues it causes the mods under you that have to deal with that inconsistency when you as an Admin seem to ignore it as well having been involved in both the threads I linked.

Tbf, in previous threads like this ie where people questioned mods and their consistency, those being questioned did not contribute in any way, no reason to think this thread will be any different.

As far as I'm concerned, there are still some inconsistencies in the forum but those are few and far between. Compared to the state it was in for the last 3 or 4 years, the forum has never been in better state from a moderation perspective. There is no team biases, perceived or actual and more or less everyone is held to the same standards. And I say this as someone that has had some cards from DM7 that I've felt were a little harsh.

If I were DM_7 I wouldn't come near this thread for nothing. He'd be the scapegoat for everything in the SF.

If you want to air your grievances about the modship they usually have a feedback thread in the SF.

Problem isn’t the charter really but the inconsistency of its application...

Good for you.

The fact that's all you had to say to that post is shocking.
