Definition of HC.

deleteddeletedover 10 years ago

Anyone else notice the mod team just changed it to cover their tracks of bad moderation. Why didn't they tell us?...should everyone with a hate comment be unbanned because former/current mods didn't even know what a hate comment was? So unprofessional..yet so typical.

TO THE MODS:

Be productive and actually talk about something site relevant in the moderator chat, and come up with ACTUAL GUIDELINES behind a HC. The way things are being handled right now is honestly just ridiculous.

We have these mods just throwing violations left and right and its pretty crazy if you go back and look at some reports. Its like they are just trying to fly though the reports to get them done and see one or two words and say 'HATE COMMENT!' not looking at the context, not looking at really anything.

It seems most of you moderators are new or maybe not as involved, and I know its probably not a fun job..and a lot people may not like you. The RESPONSIBILITY of a moderator is to maintain a FAIR and enjoyable experience..im rambling..but it is not fair to any player to have these vague descriptions of what someone may think a HATE COMMENT is. This is just bad moderation, bad moderation drives away new players which hurts the site..obviously.

I'm just maybe trying to provoke some thought, sorry if you feel I'm being to harsh...but this is the complaint thread after all. I'm sure you moderators are good people, and have common sense. I'm sure you know mafia is a competitive game, and people may get frustrated from time to time. Ultimately its you guys who enforce the rules...this is simply a rant. In my opinion, it would just be nice to see some leniency in moderation differentiating actual HATE/DEMEANING SPEECH from SWEARING.

Feel free to state your opinion, but really the big thing I'm trying to get at is fair moderation..and I think the HC topic is one that is LONG past due to being addressed for everyones sake.

this one is actually, pretty clear @ian
it depends on how the mods decide to define a slur which can encompass a lot of stuff
It's not rocket science voluntaryloser. Unless you have been living in a cave for the last 200 years at least, you should know not to say certain words like the n word or the r word to name a few. As far as i can see, the mods are not going out of their way to find obscure words to use for hc vios. If you do no know not to use the r word or the end word, then that is your fault not theirs. You are way off base in your assumptions regarding what words are being vioed and the mods' motives

yeah we already have the crystal clear guideline of whether the user reasonably expected someone to interpret their comment as a slur, idk what this guy's on
this is much, much more narrow than the previous definition

Mist, your dense. Those are called examples. OFC you cant go around calling people "n-word" and not expect to get some sort of punishment.

What a great mod you are. Trying to argue with me.

mist
there are plenty of valid complaints to be had about HC but you've entirely missed your mark with this thread. nice try tho

Lol, I obviously stated that I do not have my way...which is why I am making this thread. Talk about missing the point -.- Anyway yes, I do feel like there should be some sort of guidelines to what you can and cant say. If the mod team doesn't want to be fair to the community, its whatever not my problem.

Have fun watching your site die slowly, while you run off all the newbies with the vios.

you want guidelines but if it were up to you there would be 0 guidelines.

Just because someone says a certain slang word for homosexuals that starts with an "f" doesnt mean they are giving a speech about how much they hate homosexuals.

If I had my way, this is how I would do things.

just seems like you don't actually have anything to complain about ITT and so you're making it up as you go along.

Yeh mist, you know..like how they did it back before the mod team was a circle jerk. Your memory that short?

You know, back when you actually had to say a few things filled with hatred to get a vio and not just say the "R" word once.

Pssh, now days if a mod doesn't like you all you gotta do is give someone an attitude and your getting a vio.
