Mod Moderation System

almost 8 years

There needs to be a system in place that would allow mods to be properly measured in there ability to handle reports fairly and properly. I very much doubt that there is some one who consistently looks over every report and evaluates if mods are making the correct verdicts.

Why not implement a way to allow the community to "vote" on the end report verdicts and let the players decide if they believe the decision is fair or not. This would prevent any sort of mod abuse and allows the people who run the site an easy way to evaluate wether or not the mods are doing there job well. This also would be helpful for mods in the appeal process, as mods would be able to read the results and if the overwhelming majority of people believe the verdict given was incorrect, they know that the report needs to be reassessed.

One possible way to do this would be to implement a poll after a report decision has been made. Mods would still have the ultimate power in the final decision, but at least this way we give the community an easy route to help improve and monitor the site.

Do you believe this is good idea?

I don"t care if theres a poll or not, you guys just haven't given any actual valid information as to why it would fail, as your entire argument relies on the fact of "the community cant handle it" which is an opinionated statement and unless you provide real evidence as to why the entire community not just a few select people couldn't handle it is baseless.

All I said was there needs to be some sort of way that we can hold mods accountable, I simply offered 1 suggestion.

There needs to be a system in place to stop stupid people making stupid suggestions on the forums. lol

Honestly the only problem w/ this system is how bias communities can be. Chances are that if this system ever became a thing, there'll be at least one person that community is against and will blindly vote against. The only way I could really see this working is if there was some type of honor system to help prevent people from saying 'this deserves a vio' then later on for the same report saying 'no vio needed' just because it's a person they don't like.

Let me tell you something. I disagree with a polling system, but am strongly for a trial system.


What do you mean trial system?

I vote up for a training mod system. If i am ever admin, i will find a good way to implement it.

everyone who has been on both sides of the aisle has unanimously agreed that your idea is asinine, i haven't seen one person come up in this thread who has been a mod, a role mod, or even a regular player and said your idea wasn't garbage

with that alt slip at least 2/8 (25%) of the votes in favor of your system are you


compared to 30 most likely all unique votes


with your own rigging the votes do you see how stupid your idea is but also how easy it will be for people to double vote in your stupid system?

The fact of the matter is that once you designate people as mods they need to have a good understanding of the rules and the vios, the general player base does not. The mods are also expected to be held accountable for their actions and put actual thought and effort into reports, whereas the general player base could just vote however they like; not even read a game in question; vote so their friend doesn't get a vio; use alts to skew the poll; or just troll the polls in general cause they can do whatever they want.

Your idea doesn't work in any capacity. The vast majority of reports don't even get appealed because people are aware of how they broke the rules and just accept where they messed up.

I think the amount of people who would care enough to take the polls seriously are the people who already read and comment on reports as it is now.


Which is why I thought it would be useful to introduce a trial system.

Plus I believe the majority of the "No" players are competitive players and dont experience the same type of issues that those who play the more popular ranked setups. Notice how the "Yes" voters essentially all play the more popular ranked games as apposed to the competitive players.


This absolutely does not matter, especially since competitive players generally have a better and more expansive knowledge on everything regarding gameplay and mechanics.

They're not effective at all, as soon as the verdict is made, no one is going back to look at the comments this whole process should be taking place after the verdict has been given not during.


Doesn't this point contradict your entire argument for a poll or other post-verdict method of analysis?


I was implying that mods dont go back and look at comments, and regardless this now provides an incentive to do so.


You're right, which is why if a user thinks it's important enough, they could use the PM system.

Also people make up there mind before actually thinking for themselves, when they say multiple people attacking my argument or multiple votes in favor of "no" they are more inclined to follow suit. Its a fact.





I mean i still believe on this forum platform it would still be more "No" then "Yes" but to think that all those players actually read and made up there mind on the issue is arrogant.


You mean....... like you expect them to ACTUALLY READ AND MAKE UP THEIR MIND ON THE REPORTS YOU'RE SPEAKING OFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFF


I dont see how a 13 page forum post is comparative to a maybe 3 day game report especially when only there are 30 votes from 1600 views which shows that people on the forums clearly dont care about issues such as these.
