Can we just delete the forum please. This is a java mafia forum, not a java mafia website.

Regarding Inappropriate Content, it's a flexible rule that can be treated as harshly or softly as the individual moderator deems the circumstances require.

Every little thing that might classify under my rule may not necessarily garner a violation due to the circumstances of the times.

So please, overusing my rule is not a good idea.

I'm not saying he should be demodded over it or anything, but that is definitely something that is unacceptable for a mod to do, whether it's only frowned upon or actually disallowed

It was definitely an abuse of mod powers Connor, I'm sorry, even if it truly weren't a set rule like you said. Goodbar knows better than that.

That seems backwards since the banned user still gains the satisfaction of being correct.


not really, they care about having their name on the report that got the vio


Yeah like they don't selfdelete after.

"I reported something. The moderator closed my report, and refiled it."

I don't get how it's not exactly the same thing just unnecessarily prolonged.

And it still doesn't answer the question about moderators making assumptions.

The mod in this case did not do that, Connor.

Connor I believe you missed my point: What if no one but a banned user reports a broken rule? What if the moderators are actively allowing these rules to be broken? Why is it that a banned user can't bring something to attention if no one else is? And why is it acceptable for a moderator to make an assumption about an alt and closed based on that assumption?


no you idiot. the MOD refiles it after closing the banned user's version

Bronto, one could consider what Clarkeboi posted to be art - it was an album cover. And Riddler posted a video from a television show, which to many is also art. Ignoring one thing just because you personally consider it art ruins the integrity of everything you claim to be trying to do and is contradictory.


He got a violation for it - what's your point? An image in front of you is different than a link you have to click on with a song that contains profanity. I'm just saying it's something that wouldn't have crossed my mind to report.

I'm high strung because I don't want to lose the site and I don't want to have to get rid of the forums. All of the problems that the site has had stems from these forums.

Connor says

there is a no-tolerance policy with banned users reporting people, squirtle. if he believed you were banned it was the right thing to do.


That's silly, Connor. Rule-breakers get away with breaking rules if the only people to call them out are banned users? You don't even look into them? Terrible. What's even worse is that this was a case of assumptions - he closed legitimate reports based on an assumption. Is that a good use of your authority?


or you just refile the report yourself, like you're supposed to. the intention is not to give banned users the satisfaction

I wouldn't have gone around the rules if I had believed it was a set rule. I hope you'd understand that while I don't justify it that having my trust betrayed when I was trying to be both fair and helpful was quite upsetting.

Bronto was the one who handled that report, btw. It was also the only report that got that comment while I was a "banned user".

It's always been a rule in as much as the you can't mod cheaters rule. Who cares if it wasn't written in the rules page, it was a rule


no. it was NEVER a rule. EVER. it wasnt ever an UNWRITTEN RULE. it was just DISCOURAGED and FROWNED UPON, with most, if not all moderators, had a code of honour


I disagree completely. Riot sachy and laexio always told us that using BANIDS to out people should not be done, but that he did not care if the alt was found by regular means


i was always told the opposite, and had it confirmed at least by arcbell, and i'm pretty sure riot told me the same

Just because arcbell could have made it more clear after making monocle doesn't mean it was okay before


it WAS though. it was never BANNED, EVER
