Frankly I would like to be banned for still caring about the site in the way that I do.

It does become a problem when they stay as mods when standards are lowered because they are your friends, though, Dan.

That's true, although I admittedly don't know much about what goes on in regards to that.

Apart from when you make up new roles for certain mods when they aren't active enoiugh to do the minimum quota.

And when you tell the next admin to go easy on people doing reports when he tries to tell them to up their work or get demodded.

because modding shouldn't be so cutthroat. I agree it should be taken seriously, but it should also be enjoyable.

no mod can be trusted, bring the system down

lock thread, this is the answer

I'm gonna make a serious post about the current state of the mod team that I've kind of had to hold my tongue about either because I was a mod or I simply wasn't agitated enough to talk about it. There really is a current mindset in the team that is essentially bringing them down which is just noticeable from the mod chat, and while I wouldn't want to credit justrec and his conspiracy theory on everyone being 'corrupt circlejerkers' there's a mentality where mods treat themselves above the community to a point where threads like these either are ignored or turn into in-jokes in the mod chat that I've seen from time to time. I think Mods should be respected but there has to be a balance between respecting someone for being a mod but also deserving it. A main problem with the team as of right now is that there isn't really any driving force to it, and you have a lot of mods who are basically report machines and nothing more. I've always held the opinion that for the most part the forums serve a niche, but usually these matters only develop on the forums because it's filled with filthy caremads such as myself who care about the health and stability of the site, and it surprises and somewhat upsets me that this thread is being passively ignored by all the mods.

The reason things were so much better off back then is because mods garnered respect because they still focused on the importance of the community, while I feel that the current mod team is instead backed into a corner and letting the community run them instead of the other way around. It's been talked to death but no matter how you look at this, sharing your account isn't acceptable. It should be an instant demodding. No questions asked. No amount of ability or amount of reports you can offer should be discussed because reports are but one aspect of modding, and most mods have seemed to forget that.

In the grand scheme of things, does any of this even really matter?

didn't read the OP or the thread but demod the mod that allowed this account sharing to happen and replace him with a fresh face, not someone who's been mod already. simple. why is there 17 pages?

why are u quoting that steve

i only shared once

Lashka says

Contrary to popular belief, there are a lot of people always willing to do mod work, and sometimes it's quite good to take risks by modding people you don't know very well. It never used to be a big friendship group and the fact it became one is the single biggest cause of the issues with the mods these days.

becoming friends with people you mod with =/= modding friends. I don't think Vancy really personally knew any of the new mods particularly well before making them mods.

Actually, Arcbell had the right idea about friendship groups in mods, Stan. He just had the wrong method of solving it.

to be fair she account shared twice

A lot of this is old news that only is getting aired out because Riot's mad he was the target of Gary's schemes, which could have been caused by kino's involvement with Gary.

It'll get resolved.
