The Current Mod Team

The mod team is long overdue an overhaul.

At present, there are 20 moderators. Some follow precedent, some don't, but ultimately they all have their own benchmarks for what is or isn't acceptable. As a result, there are far too many flaws within the way this site is handled; from a sheer lack of understanding, to grudge driven decisions, to blindly sheeping one another upon request (this can be highlighted as my appeal has been hand-picked from the open reports and immediately sustained by Totori).

I was going to write up a large OP about this, but quite frankly I'd only be wasting my breath.

Bottom line is quite simply this - a 20 man weeb squad isn't going to bode well when it comes to website moderation.

Regardless, I don't understand how she can go around handing me an IC vio for something like that, yet actively support a thread which encourages people to share pictures of their genitalia. Not only is this a clear display of double standards, but what she was supporting was far more incriminating in terms of AdSense removal.


adsense mostly cares about images


AdSense cares a lot more about people exposing themselves to one another than slapstick nudity made on MS Paint.

I don't agree with the way bigpock behaves, but he could definitely have just been given a very stern telling off.

i think shes just impulsive, doubt it was a grudge it was more of like mod-rage where she deleted a thread and then u remade it n she went like "HOW THE F DO U DISRESPECT MY AUTHORITY" and then deleted it and vio'd you which is kinda nuts but w/e


kinda something like that

two weeks or so into moderating, people made a bunch of threads complaining about her

i feel this has kinda made her jaded and ever since then shes been kinda blunt in her posts. maybe she got the advice to not care about complaints and that people are always going to complain, but she went the wrong way about it

stragger is kinda right and i really get the "im doing this moderation for free, stop complaining or arguing with me" kinda vibe from her from her forum posts, but it looks like she goes out of her way to do the best job she can... from her point of view (banning bigpock, lol)

For some reason, there was never a day 3.

I hope Craig David doesn't see this.

To put things into perspective.

Day 1: Make thread
Day 2: Thread still up and noticed by mods.
Day 4: Thread still up and noticed by mods.
Day 5: Thread still up and noticed by mods.
Day 6: Thread still up and noticed by mods.
Day 7: antikrist deletes it with no reasoning at all.

At this point I remade the thread.

There is honestly no way that I can feel like what I did was infringing upon an IC violation.

I agree with you, but she only deleted my thread to single me out. It's not like it was a brand new thread.

She's made it clear in the past that she has issues with me.

Although in this case, it was definitely her intention to single me out.

antikrist is internally one of the best mods


Whilst this surprises me, I can only accept it. However, being a good mod internally doesn't really matter when her actions are not congruent with the rest of the team. She moderates the forums on a completely different level to near enough everyone on the mod team. Because of this, her violations almost come about as a result of some sort of unintentional entrapment.

Retti's made some good posts in this thread. Good job Retti.

After being more than like 4 or 5 years old in this community, here's what I say:

There was rarely ever a bad mod really. There were a few bad ones but they're countable. What I mostly see nowadays is that people saying that a mod or two are bad because of a report they did wrongly or something that they stated or whatever. First of all, don't judge someone by one thing or two that happened in the past. It is really more deeper than just a report that you got the wrong end in. Secondly, instead of telling a mod that they suck and that they should be removed from the team, tell them how to improve. Just tell antikrist that they should be more professional when interacting as a moderator.

Yup, it took me like 5 years to figure this out. Don't talk to me about my history because I know that I've done some foolish actions in the past.


I mean... I appreciate what you're saying, but it's clear as day that you've not read the thread whatsoever. Furthermore, you act as though this is the first time the mods in question have ever come up in discussion.

My favorite mod was tashie because she refunded all of skillz games and stopped him from winning gold.


This is immature and uncalled for, stop changing the direction of the topic.

(btw I had already won a gold before lol)


Training lobby gold doesn't count my dude.


Alright then. I'm sorry that I annoyed you so much that you had to post this. I'm so sorry and I hope you accept my apologies.


You seem like a nice fellow.

now i feel bad, i take it back training lobby golds are of equal importance with comp ones which is still worthless.


To be fair, I don't really care about the fact that I had a trophy or that I ever won one. And to be honest, the second trophy that I was going to win was really bull because I farmed Manhunt to get that amount of points anyways.

Edit: Don't feel bad by the way. :P (Yes, I know its a joke)
