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.

remember when indexcards shared with petricigy and he did like 700 reports and got INSTANTLY DEMODDED but apparently kino sharing with eris is okay because lol he did like 50 maybe? that makes it okay in the end

I know many people who still moderate various sites even though not actively.

This isn't a mature utopia justrec. The competition is a fascinating social experiment and the forums are one of the internet's greatest cesspools. That's what makes this site so gosh darn entertaining.

People keep telling me this site isn't as bad as I'm saying it is. But it's actually worse.


I don't know who you're talking with that actually has a good opinion of the site because this is the universal consensus.

justrec says

I don't understand how crap just happens on this site. Seems like a bunch of children are in charge and calling the shots. Disgusting.


Again late to the party though the "crap" you're describing generally isn't the same crap that validates the rest of your opinion.

that's actually pretty accurate considering the age range of the mods and just about the whole user base lands in the "adolescent" category

Idk she literally said "And if I ruin my chance of being a moderator and fixing the site so be it" That reeks of self importance imo


Well, expecting negative consequences and having self importance are pretty different and I think that the post leans towards the former.


Idk dude anyone who wants to be a volunteer e-gumshoe is pretty self important just imo


She wanted to talk about issues on the team that bothered her; that is the primary purpose of the thread. However, she was also prepared and bracing herself for the negative consequences of making a post like that. I don't see what she posted as self aggrandizing or egotistical but this will probably become a "no, you!" debate so whatever

That picture of vancy saying he will be more careful was 14 days ago. 14 FREAKING DAYS. My pms were nothing short of 9 days old, so how in the world did this happen?


Vancy definitely did not leak your alt. He's a stressed little coward and he's been avoiding EM entirely for more than 9 days

I think every issue from op was explained. To sum up:
Caroline deserved a vio
Jericho is a bad mod
Appleofmyeye was asking for her alt to be outed
Kino did nothing wrong
Empire is bored
Theonlyjazznation is a very manly man
Jackattack is gonna get some tonight
Ediz is a cool guy.

I'm closing this

If the mods are determined to find an alt they can without the help of the admin.
