If you could demod one mod who isn't NiandraLades, Dai, MegaFanny, or granderPC, who would it be?

[QUOTE=AlexGT;45603876]Like everyone else is saying, Craptasket.
I mean come on, he used to be one of the best moderators in my opinion. He moderated with some actual care. He un-perma'd me when I had my account compromised and that retarded cat picture was posted. I used to actually appreciate him a lot before he just decided to show that he had no respect for the dead. It doesn't matter if who he's slandering is someone that he only knew over the Internet, that's still a person, with actual feelings and an actual [I]life. [/I]
It kind of goes to all the FPers who decided to just sit there and berate the people who've passed away and had been active on this site. This isn't an uncivilized image board - it's where we all come together as people to actually show emotions (hence STGYM and the Depression Discussion threads.) I've seen so many people just talk about their problems and actually empathize for them.
For those who did actually berate, you all know better than that. Seriously.[/QUOTE]
You know those "uncivilized image boards" have their serious threads and sections, right? The whole forum doesn't have to be sappy depressed posts. That stuff can stay in the relevant threads.
[QUOTE=Zukriuchen;45605554]that's ridiculous. mods ban people in threads they post in all the time, if you can't ban someone just because you're friends with them then you prolly shouldnt be a mod, but even then some other moderator is probably gonna do the job for you anyway[/QUOTE]
You'd be surprised how many us mods want to avoid banning our friends or people we have on steam.
I'm the go-to guy for these bans & dirty bans too. (by dirty I mean tough bans that might put a mod in a bad spot, not bad bans)

If starpluck is low on spirit. We must all begin chanting "FREE PALESTINE" in unison.

[QUOTE=Dr. Ocsid;45605685]Nah. Postal does his job really well. The rust forum would be a much worse place without him.[/QUOTE]

The people running a crusade against mods for the occasional bad comment is laughable. The only mod who consistently posts things over the line, in my opinion, is starpluck. Even then his comments are still in line with 95% of SH, so it's a moot point.
All of the mods as of late have been really lenient with the bans as well, so that's not really a good argument. Sure you can find the occasional bad ban, but the vast majority are deserved.
"This fucking asshole mod banned me"
Yeah but chances are any other mod would've banned you as well.

Care to disclose your nitty gritty's to Padré?
[QUOTE=postal;45605383]Lets try to make it through this thread without comparing forum moderators to cops, thanks[/quote]
It was in the sense that both enforce rules, nothing more was meant of it.

So what your saying is that you're still around because other moderators won't man the fuck up and ban someone for being stupid even though they're friends with this person?
a part of me says Craptasket is being sarcastic there.
-snip nevermind-
I've only met one mod personally- RayvenQ. He was a bit of an ass to me, but I can't judge him objectively. Well, I'd have to say that MaxofS2D was a bit of a tyrant. I hope he doesn't have his status returned.

you just joined in april 2014 and you met a mod?
who are you?
Andy Vincent...oh wait.
What a load of creep he was.

Saw him on steam. He was in the official chat of our official group.

That is pretty bad.
[QUOTE=Furioso;45606631]That is pretty bad.[/QUOTE]
to be fair most of those posts are quite old, he could be different now. but I don't really come across his posts much.
[QUOTE=Lf751;45606609]Andy Vincent...oh wait.

what?? I think you're confusing him with someone else lol. I never talked to him but he never caused any problems aside from his mod account constantly getting hijacked due to forum exploits. Andy1976uk is probably who you're thinking of, but he was never a moderator. If not, then maybe chris0132, destroyer of gerbils?
Hands down Gunfox, that guy has some serious problems.

he is less blatantly egregious but he's still out of tune with reality
signed a guy who screencapped those posts
I personally think Craptasket's an obnoxious twat, but God damn do I have to go with Gunfox.
[QUOTE=Ehmmett;45606386][url]http://jndrp.net/ehmmett/gunfox/[/url][/QUOTE]
I dare anyone in this thread to try and explain this. I never knew.

Yeah the first thing I already apologized for and admitted was stupid.
The eve online deal isn't accurate.
The rest is pretty mild in context.
Obviously the picture isn't me.

All he said was he's one of the mods that doesn't care about banning someone on his steam friends list, how'd you leap to that conclusion??? He's still a mod because he's the 2nd most active moderator on the forum lol.

Damn you Churchill, you have snubbed me for the last time!
Let's demod gunfox so i can be the longest standing moderator on the forum, i think that's a valid reason, and absolutely the best one yet
[QUOTE=bdd458;45605094]In no particular order: Craptasket and Starpluck. I was recently made moderator at another forum (not as big as Facepunch, but it's got roughly 13,000 active members). One of the things I've been told is to never moderate in threads you've posted in, ever. Yet I've seen Starpluck do that many times. As well, moderators should be held to a higher standard anyway, so being a dick like Craptasket really isn't setting a good example for the rest of the forum.
But I also understand that moderating is a tough job, many times thankless. That doesn't mean however, that you get to be a dick.
but that's just me.[/QUOTE]
I've always been thinking you should just behave like you'd usually do. don't really think of being a mod or think like you need to act different, since in the end, your behavior doesn't have a say if you're a good mod or not. just focus on banning people who deserve bans
whenever I stumble across mods that try to act "professional" or try to set good examples, they always come off as robotic to me
