Honestly idc how this ends up, my intentions are good and im not trying to make worse changes for the forums, problems are obvious and everyone should be able to see them clear as day. hopefully we can get some people to chime in with positive suggestions to actually help. im not trying to sit here and prove this and prove that cause thats what its turning into, how bout we come up with ideas to help clear the flame and have a better moderation standard.

lol I know that wasn't meant for me

the situation told me that I can't give him any more assistance at this time. so anything else I would have to offer would be useless at this moment

every section has a different tolerance to what is allowed and what is not. take your problems to the forum mod and work it from there. that would be my advice.

Weird, never saw that in the rules before, doesn't really make sense either.

Just my 2 cents.

it ain't in the rules.... that is why I am telling you this.


how hard is it to figure out guys?

Then you should tell every new member that will sign up in the future.

Why not just add it to the rules, because this is the first I'm hearing about this.

So is their a scale or some sort of chart the mods have made or?

tell every member what? to be courteous and play nice? just treat others how you want to be treated and ignore what bothers you. is it that hard?

Rules need to be rewrote honestly, they are vague and it leaves staff to make the decision, now this can be very effective in moderation yes but for members its not a set of rules and nobody cares about them, they need to be more specific and enforced more, the ones that are in place now set some guidelines but as I said they dont get enforced often at all.

No, that every mod likes to set their own personal settings on how faint or extreme the rules are involving attitude and name calling.


Well, the rules say no flaming, bashing etc, does this site have an infraction system? Why not just use that instead of telling people to ignore those type of people, when a new member sees this and that nothing gets done like infracting or banning, not saying you don't ban for stuff like that but it takes alot to get to that point.

But see we are rounding the 500k member mark and very few people have this mentality. If you look at most threads where flame Is it just keeps ensuing until either A) posters lose focus and or stop posting, or B) topic changes. Now I cant gaurantee that for every thread but quite a majority are like that. We just need staff to jump in more often, and not just through a report but more often on the actual topic, reports do help but they barely scratch the surface.

This whole subject is sort of a touchy subject in its own. The trouble I have thus far with certain moderators is once someone has been marked, they can't fix their reputation. (typically) For instance, If I get in a tiff with a moderator, I feel like that moderator simply has me marked as a negative person from that time forward. I have been unable to work things out with certain moderators, not because of my unwillingness to work things but at that point in time they have it set in mind that I'm a negative person here to cause problems. Which really isn't the case. I try to treat people how I want to be treated, I'm mellow to people who are mellow to me but if someone wants to have words, I don't have a problem having words.

Now, I had a disagreement with a moderator before, we had a couple PM's, a few unprofessional things were said on both ends and after a week or two, I randomly repped him and left a comment saying "sorry we got off on the wrong foot, didnt really mean to piss you off. hope we can get past it"

I instantly was repped back and the comment said "its all in the past, thanks for the message". We haven't had a single problem since.

So.. Some moderators are reasonable. Some are not. I'd love to point some fingers but... that ain't Krondizzel's style.

Im really surprised I've never even had a warning. I had a thread deleted that was a joke/troll thread about putting a cat in the microwave for 5 seconds. Forgot to say jk and sensative mod pulled it down. I didn't go having a hissy fit though.

Im not dead wrong, go read every thread that has a single post of flame and it shows that people dont care how others feel, flame is flame and Its caused by people with a different personality than you describe.
