Hahaha thanks

I don't know if it has to have an effect in terms of infractions. I used to manage a team of people as my job and there were some I liked and others I didn't, and there were numerous times I'd have to discipline people I liked and I never looked for reasons to discipline the people I didn't like, it was just formalities of the job but then when chatting with people it would probably show who I was friendlier with, and I assume it's a similar kind of thing with moderating, they have a mod side that the rest of us don't see where they give out infractions etc, but then they have a poster side where friendships will probably show and who they like/don't like etc which is fair enough... I think the problem is that people assume from looking at their posts and who they're friendly with how they must be acting as a moderator but noone actually sees that except the other mods, and I'd assume that if someone was moderating unfairly it would be pretty apparent to the others and something would be done about it.

Calm your tits, sweaty.

I think we can make our own minds up as to who we like as friends don't you? If we didn't speak to anyone whoever broke a rule we'de be friendless.so NO you've solved nothing :hee:

Oh right, my super serious suggestion didnt solve it. I'll keep working on it.

I accept that Jamie89,but hand on heart I find it easier to approach some mods than others as they seem neutral ,I may be wrong,but that is how I feel.

That's the spirit :laugh:

A few people are convinced that moderating isn't impartial because I don't get infractions and bans. What they seem to be failing to notice is that I'm just rly rly nice :shrug:

For a start some members can't be arsed reporting posts even if they see them as a rulebreak so many infraction worthy posts are possibly missed, whilst others seem to have the report button on speed dial so some posters are reported time and time again so that's inconsistent for a start :idc:

How could you possibly have that information

Everyone on the forum has equal reporting rights, it's not our fault if they all don't use them at the same rate :fist:

:smug:

I'm going to have my finger on that report button from now on, avalanche incoming Niamh :hehe:

I wasnt expecting to lose that argument at all, let alone in under two minutes!

Reported for doubting me :nono:

:joker:

I'm replying to a posts from a few pages back...

Cherie the thread took a turn away from being fun when you started having a sly pop about LT being constantly banned or something along those lines.

If someone is constantly getting infracted or banned and by all staff at different times not just 1 mod then there's only so many times thier friends can blame us before realising it isn't us that's the problem and I like and get in with LT but let's not pretend he's an angel on the forum.

Also 'sure jan' is from the Brady bunch :/

How could you possibly know people's reporting habits? We get a variety of reports from different people and we can tell the difference between genuine reports and someone reaching to get another person in trouble. If a person is reported but we don't believe they've done anything wrong then we won't do anything. Plus you aren't taking into account that not all moderation is prompted by reports, if we see rule breaks we'll respond whether it's reported or not.

People don't get banned because they get reported a lot, people get banned because they frequently break the rules.

LT actually was Marcia Brady in the movie, though.

None of that counts for anything as long as there is one rule for some an another for others. Can't see that changing anytime soon.

How do you know this? Please enlighten us all on how you seemingly have in depth knowledge of everyone's infraction history to make this statement. I'm very interested to know.

Nobody is ever unfairly infracted or banned, sometimes they are by means of mistake but those infractions are always reversed. The whole 'One rule for some' argument is a hypocritical complaint by people who want special treatment because they aren't happy with being treated like everyone else.

if you get an infraction then will you always get a pm to let you know

Niamh :joker: I didn't say it was the only way members got infracted, you added that in youself, I said it was an area where there could be inconsistency

Can I call members sly without punishment Josy? I don't think anyone anywhere has ever accused LT of being an angel :unsure:

There isn't though

Yeah

All of LT's friends need to do the right thing and join his silent protest

I know they haven't cherie the point I was making was that people don't get bans for nothing if they are building infractions and the bans are happening more and more then they are repeat rule breakers...

Not sure what the sly comment is about, your dig was at us not other members

Dezzy needs to stop spewing his bile as he said to me, there are no angels on Tibb and that includes mods.

So many guests are viewing this thread haha. This all must look so crazy from the outside looking in.

I was accused of hounding jesus and kirk off the forum, I was preempting the pointy fingers for LT too. :umm2:

Take a close look again at that thread, focus on the word 'hounded'.

There most definitely is. Mods baiting and then removing said posts.

No there most definitely isn't, with respect I see every infraction and ban given out, you don't.

Your second comment is nothing to do with what you first posted about, if you report something like this it'll be looked into.

I dunno, this seems pretty standard for every forum I've ever been a member of :joker:. Though the first one had about 600 active members and only one mod. That was pretty hilarious.

Look, some were saying yesterday 'oh it won't be long til this thread is closed' etc.. well constructive criticism is perfectly fine and also welcomed but your posts have been getting progressively ruder and more insulting each time, I won't warn you about this again, post your opinion without baiting for a reaction or you will end up infracted.

I've mentioned in another thread in the past that I won't have a group of members attacking dezzy at every opportunity they get and here we have the same members doing the exact same thing again, we don't allow this to happen to other members and the same goes for staff.

IF anyone has a genuine problem with a mod they can pm another mod or myself and James.

I was asking why you could call me sly Josy, when I would be infracted if I called another member sly. I don't believe I have been sly in the least, I have always been open and honest on the forum, I have the utmost respect for most of the Admin and moderation team, most are respectful and treat members well and in return they are respected by the members. In response to your post about PMing you and James if there are any issues, I've done it before, James didn't even respond, though in fairness you always reply, nothing changes though so it's a bit pointless.

I did . I never heard a thing back.
