[QUOTE=RIPBILLYMAYS;52602753]you can do private banter regardless, public banter duels must be permitted or my honor will be soiled[/QUOTE] Fair enough.

moderators should maintain quality posting habits to set an example for the community on how to post shitposting in threads and thinking it's hilarious sets a terrible example for lurkers, who think "if the mods can shitpost so can I"
[QUOTE=sam6420;52602885]:chillout: I don't think anybody would've gotten banned from that, don't overreact.[/QUOTE] i probably would have been banned for that i mean for fuck sakes there was just a thread in the RC where some guy got banned for calling somebody a "goof"
[QUOTE=RIPBILLYMAYS;52602529]Posting comments on someone's profile without enabling comments on your own profile should be a permaban[/QUOTE] dont give me any ideas
I agree that we need to hold ourselves more accountable for our posting. But do remember that we have the capacity to make mistakes too. But on that note, it should be something that we're able to talk about in this thread and fix if we can. If you guys have any other concerns, feel free to bring them up. It's the only way to reflect on how we moderate.

Responding to criticism by telling people to kiss your ass serves only to make yourself look like an asshole who can't justify his own actions.

But I think there can be some sort of way to make sure that we're upholding a standard. We generally have new mod probation for a similar reason to make sure they're suited for the job before allowing them to make their own decisions, but I don't see why we can't have something to act as a failsafe if we start messing up. It'll be something we'll probably be talking about.

Responding to criticism by telling people to kiss your ass serves only to make yourself look like an asshole who can't justify his own actions.[/QUOTE] I agree, as long as the criticism is valid. I can say that we've seen some pretty dumb complaints in the past which doesn't warrant a whole lot of response, but other things still are valid. So it's a case by case basis, ultimately.

[QUOTE=Quark:;52603006] i also meant to bring this up, but didn't know how to.[/QUOTE] You probably should have brought that up when it happened. Not a whole lot that can be discussed now.
Should we pretend something would have been done about it then? [editline]11:31[/editline] moderators should not have that kind of attitude like in the pic i posted. moderators should be open to questions and criticism. instead of saying "i couldn't care less"
Maybe? I don't know because I don't know the context and I don't know BDA's personal opinion on said context. Moderators also do have opinions on certain things and events and we're allowed to have certain opinions on things and events, but if you have an issue with it, you're allowed to ask other moderators about it. But you didn't. And I can't give you a definite answer on the situation because I don't know what it's about.

Like i said about ten times already last time people were flipping out at that post: context matters. He made a joking jab at a person that just did a joking jab at him in a thread filled with mostly silly posts to begin with. Mod or not I wouldn't have banned him nor would anyone else on the mod team. idk why you guys keep trying to push this so hard. there's legit criticisms to be made here but that post isn't one of them lol

[QUOTE=Quark:;52603133]I'm on mobile.

Nothing is gonna come from this if all you're gonna say is "UR WRONG" and nothing else...
There are way better/worse? examples of mods being asses over bans than the one Quark is making a big deal over, picking something fairly petty kind of ruins your argument.
feel free to do a better job than i am
[QUOTE=Quark:;52603140]feel free to do a better job than i am[/QUOTE] i just did by detailing the context of the post and why it makes it ok.... at this point you're just prolonging this argument for the sake of prolonging it. stop posting already. someone else can discuss this if they really want [QUOTE=Reds;52603139]There are way better/worse? examples of mods being asses than the one Quark is making a big deal over, so it's kind of destroying his argument.[/QUOTE] im sure there's at least a half dozen craptasket posts floating around out there that'd be more worth this
Alas the consequence of modding a troll Always a troll
[QUOTE=Quark:;52603140]feel free to do a better job than i am[/QUOTE] If I wanted to take the time and effort I could crawl through the thread and drag up some examples, but I don't think it would really mean much other than to have something to point at and say "don't do that shit" which isn't really needed at this point.
A lot of people here seemed stressed lately. :frown: Hope everyone starts to feel better.
