Assigning mods

deletedover 9 years

It may sound stupid but can we assign mods to certain report types. like we could put Antikrist on HC's and Gerry on GRS ect. this would mean reports move slower but it means that 1 mod always deals with something the same way so that nobody can claim abuse/favouritism. It also means mods will get really good at 1 thing that they know. so reports will be judged more fairly

Should be a thing

Alex banned some people from going certain reports. They couldn't handle.

In addition to what's been mentioned, this system would set up a much shorter lifetime on precedents than we currently have. Each time the X rule moderator changes, the new moderator will have some difference in opinion about X and will set up his own precedents when it comes to moderating it.

Constantly changing precedents are bad for the community. Users that received violations under the harsher precedent will feel wronged and believe that they were treated unfairly. Older users coming back after a short break from the site may feel alienated, as to them it may seem like we changed perfectly fine rules for no reason.

tl;dr: The problems that this system would cause are not worth its benefits.

It's really not hard to know how to apply all of the rules correctly.

What is the benefit of this though? Pretty sure any old mod can read through the rules and file all reports accordingly, what problems does this solve if it goes into effect?


Pretty much people call favouritism and abuse if 1 mod gives someone NV but another gives a vio. it causes threads like the one in complaints rn called "Laptop"


Well we do have the appeal system for this exact reason. Its quite sufficient.


But even with appeals, people still say it's unfair because mods treat others different.


If people still complain that mods treat others different when they have the option to appeal and get different opinions from other mods then lol

There is a lot more ratio of certain reports so some mods would end up doing a lot larger ratio of reports as opposed to others. As well if the assigned mods who did GT werent available at the end of a round then another mod would end up handling it anyway defeating the purpose, as well as appeals requiring 2 seperate mods factoring in. Moderating is a team effort assigning one person to a certain violation or rule is counter productive everyone should have a say regarding site moderation. It is each moderators responsibility to stay unbais and consistent, but its not something that should be forced upon them, it's a voulenteer role at the end of the day.

this already happens, the lazy mods just do GRS/HC to bump their report count and then the people who do complex reports get resentful of them

Then people appeal them, and then we shift the mod to another thing, 3 strikes and there out.

it wouldn't be better for em. imagine someone like gerry or totori taking every hc report. there wouldn't be a single no vio. you'd be letting individual mods set standards they don't understand

This idea has been proposed before in the past. The biggest reaosn why it was rejected is because mods would get bored or burned out doing the same type of report. It also forces an unfair workload on the mods who get assigned to Harassment or Cheating vs those who get assigned to GRS and ERB. The effort required to complete the former is larger than the latter.

The idea to circulate report types was also suggested. For example, Mod1 and Mod2 get assigned to Trolling and GRS for a month, then switch to Harassment and OGI for the following month. It wasn't a popular idea.



Now that second idea is also pretty good, why was it not popular.


They didn't like the idea of being forced to do a certain report type that they naturally avoided.


But, it keeps the site happy. It's better for the site but worse for the mods.
