Moderation Issues

deletedabout 10 years

I've been trying to keep my mouth shut for quite a while, but I've decided to finally make this thread because there are a lot of things that need to be addressed. No one is coming out with it when several people have complained about this, so I've decided to be the sacrificial lamb and post on behalf of the entire community. And if I lose any chance of being a moderator and fixing up the site, so be it. I'm more concerned that we have respectable people leading EM.

Reasons the mod team is unprofessional:

Jericho, a previously banned user, is modded. He reported Caroline for OGI to spite her for their previous tension, without addressing the guy who actually GRS'd.

Vancy / Rutab used modding powers to find my secret alt, which would have been fine, but one of them then unexusably told many non-mods I especially did not trust that I was Flux. This is the only conclusion I can come to.

Kino account shared with a banned user. This is unexusable in any case. Not only should she be punished, but she should definitely not be moderating the site.

I have no personal issue with any of the mods, but it truly does seem that it's a bit of a circlejerk. If I'm not mistaken, most of the moderators are close or at least have a mutual connection. This is a huge problem and I think others should be given a chance to mod, since most of them are not serious about the well-being of the site.

Moderators are supposed to be our system of control. It's supposed to be professional work. This is anything but. If you are not going to do what's good for the community, please don't become a moderator.

There's also the fact that I am literally gay for Dave "Hibiki" Strider so this thread is most certainly filled with those feelings.

I had a good time with it so I don't particularly mind.

Apostasy says

Why are you allowed to mod when you can't tell lmfao


Well I mean the mods have a demonstrably terrible track record when it comes to reading for context or reading in general for that matter.

Apostasy says

God forbid someone spams the complaints forum lord knows the mods take it into account


another reason why nobody takes the mods seriously because there is a whole sub-section of genuine criticism even if a bit harsh about the state of the site simply marginalized as 'complaints'

Retti says

i don't understand why a mod lets a community bully him into making shallow threats without taking any action scared about the backlash


The problem is the shallow threat to begin with.


Retti says

if you want the thread to stay on-topic then just delete the posts. yes it's 'anti-fun' but the sole reason that nobody takes the mods seriously is that they let the community take advantage of them for no discernible reason


Deleting my posts would be counterproductive in that they are actually on a relevant topic (His post) and it's not me taking advantage of him, it's him making a poor threat that would be stupid to enforce -literally- to begin with.


i was talking more about the video game posts when he started to make the threat

I don't like Dave's accent and think it's dumb. Sorry, no way around it.

An additional suggestion would be that if you have the time and effort and will to moderate someone joking with a friend and blatantly doing nothing wrong other than challenging your authority and selfimportance, you should consider changing the target of this effort/will/time to the two open reports that should have been closed hours ago.

Oh it wasnt a bad threat


Your definition of "bad" is wrong. The point is that, taken literally, your post is awful. When you read it for its intent and goal, that is fine, but enforcing it literally is well, not only dumb but also antifun.
