Dezzy is a great mod, this thread is so pointless

:suspect: Not sure if shade.

In all seriousness, I think Dezzy is actually one of the best mods, he does his job well and from what I've seen has always been as fair as possible and just because he has strong opinions and voices them it doesn't lessen his mod status.

Maybe a direct quote would hep so we could judge for ourselves.. Bit reluctant to take somebodys word for it. I havent noticed it and neither have the majority

If you feel that dezzy is an awful mod please pm james and state why and if you have examples give them, i know its hard as he deletes most but to keep tibb alive do your best

:fc:

...it would be sad if you did request your account to be deleted bots but if you felt that's what you wanted then it would be totally your decision and no one else the cause of it at all, let's be honest about that...It's always strange how no members who don't break rules are never 'targeted' and only the ones who do break them or don't like their 'own rules' restricted in any way who are the ones who cry 'targeting'...when other members quite often see something completely different and can see exactly why infractions/bans have been given...I have seen targeting in threads..but not from mods, from members who also cry 'target' themselves...and I have seen definite bullying as well but never from a mod...I have also seen members post aggressively and with hostility toward Dezzy and then take umbrage when they receive infractions or whatever...I think you'll find that your perspective is very much a limited one that many 'onlookers' don't see the same way as you do...this is a tantrum, this is spitting a dummy, this is just so childish and dumb...

caprimint this is LONG running saga with multiple members, its not a new thing

do you think neem gets this or ANY other mod?

NO

this is about ONE Mod

Since somebody opened the can of worms and I also feel there is some reasonable tension here, I will get this off my chest...

I do think Dezzy needs to tone down the aggressive tone some, but only coming from a deescalating standpoint as a mod. Other than that, couldn't be arsed their opinion or what's done by staff here.

Mods can't always do right (much less always be right) and they get their fair share of crap thrown their direction on a daily basis. By some people's standards, they can never do right, and anyone who accepts that position has to accept that there it takes quite a bit of thick skin to do the job and unfortunately will receive some form of grievance for doing so. You can't take everything personally when in that position. A good mod shouldn't necessarily punish/globally target people for speaking their minds, but correct by being a better example... I'm surprised some posts aren't moderated more often...

Also I prefer deletions and posts being edited to having those posts remain and continuously draw out negative energy. In all the forums I'm admin-ed or participated in, when you let a locked thread hang around with personal assaults and then don't remove them, it tends to cause some problems. As long as it's handled consistently, appropriately and with great care is all that matters.

That said, people who are very emotionally involved in certain threads probably should not be moderating them and should delegate. I don't know if this is happening, but I would feel far less comfortable speaking my mind in threads with certain mods are present... if I ever got to that point where I felt targeted, I would probably be turned off and just leave the forum... people on the internet are so overly personal sometimes and I just don't think it's worth the anguish.

Anyway, thanks to mod team if this is read. I appreciate that it is a difficult job and don't stress the haters, Dezzy included... some people just don't get along. Happens more than we'd like sometimes...

..here was me thinking the bullies were mostly in the playground at school as well.../grow up LT, this is a forum for spending chill time and for enjoyment..

Omg this is so rude.

i know you are still sore from child migrants but really..#:idc:

I can't really comment, it's the first I've heard of it :shrug:

..Niamh doesn't get spoken to the way that Dezzy does, she doesn't get the hostility that he does ...no mod gets the hostility and aggression aimed at them that Dezzy does...

what the actual hell :umm2:

I don't think I've ever been more embarrassed on this forum than right now :umm2:

...you really are a silly child, LT...

I think that is what is being said here though Dezzy gives aggressive tone and gets aggressive tone. I liked some of the suggestions Maru gave to curb this

Dezzy is one of the nicest people on this site, he only gets **** because he takes no prisoners and speaks his mind - just because he's a mod doesn't mean he should have to hold back.

It actually pisses me off how much flak he gets because he genuinenly only treats people the way they treat him from what I have seen.

I think true colours are finally being exposed.

Tbf to Dezzy, when I was a mod, he was one of the only few that actually did his job.

(This was way back when we had some mods who just wanted the status and is in no way an attack on the current mods)
