Moderators who are biased? Lets start with Whitepimp who was oppenly biased toward me. There are other mods who are biased toward other users. Sometimes just because an user is a troll or something else, there is no need to be biased toward them and always give them bad violations or protect them for istance.

this seems more like a whitepimp thing but ok. if mods are then they shouldn't be but i certainly havent noticed any latent biases.

xxerox says

Moderators who do nothing... hmm... Nathan does absolutely nothing, then there is Ucklar ( Who never does anything anyway. He is just for decoration)

ok i can agree with this lol

Bebop, you troleld few times in the past but made an excuse that its ok. I see that as a missbehaviour.

i don't think "trolling" or being not serious all the time is necessarily a bad thing for moderators to do. i think it'd be worse if they acted high and mighty and above everyone all the time. as long as they can be serious when they need to be, then it should be alright.

xxerox says

Something other sites and communities would not allow. A moderator should not do whatever he wants. He should do what is right.

You are prime example for number 2 : Moderators who troll..

this is the same as the first bit

xxerox says

We have Whitepimp too who trolls on the main forums, we have half the moderator team who prefer to troll and explain that the do it for fun.

this isn't really evidence you're just saying this happens but knowing whitepimp i believe you. but i think that i at least know when to stop "trolling".

xxerox says

Moderators who do not do their jobs? No one moves topics, no one mutes people who troll or delete any posts that sway the topics. No one moderates the forums.

i think that's more of a laissez-faire style of moderation than no moderation. it's just mods being lenient. if something really deserves to be deleted (opi, x-rated) it gets deleted.

xxerox says

You guys think doing reports(And sometimes you just leave them with days) is all there is ? No, there are hundreds of things to be done.

nobody said that reports are all there is. and sometimes things are left there for a while for reasons, like they're being discussed in mod chat and such.

No change about the site will fix anything..

We may bring few new players, but they will go away, the moment they realise what a dump this site is. That there is no justice and nothing fun comes out.

How can they play when they are yelled for doing something wrong, or how can they play if they are having no fun at all, just endless circe of harrasment and moderator idiocity.

This site is unwelcoming to anyone who wants to enjoy it or tries to help.

Who knows how many awfull things he has there....

There is nothing good i can say about this community, about the moderators and the admins.

Only thing that is good here is the site. Not the people in it.

WhitePimp used freaking scripts to do whatever he wanted.

Even if it was against site policy to use scripts.

Script for auto downvoting players... Very Mature.

Let us talk about the hundreds of other users too? Who get chased around or called trolls, while the real trolls get away with everything.

What about Sonseray? It took you so much time to ban him, when he was openly harrasing 4-5 people, and people like WHitePimp who harrased others did not even recieve 1 vio. They didnt get warned . People like Whitepimp get away with everything because of the current community

Thats exactly what happend with MikeyRu.

He kept posting with months and months and people complained more and more, untill one point where he got banned for this..

And he got harrased so much because of it all.

And all the foult is on the moderator team because they did not try to act before something happened.

They ignored it as much as they could.

They didnt try to stop either MikeyRu or the people that harrased him.

Usually even the slightest act of harrasment or trolling or hatefull comment should be warned. But no! You guys do not act.

You just wait things to get out of control and then you start giving violations.

What happened with the good old Warning? Stop or you will get banned?

No , now is - Kepp going then if others don't like it, get banned.

HC comment is moderated so lightly right now , that in the main forums i can curse all the time and get away with it. Calling people all sorts of names, things that otherwise would get you banned.

And i get away with it, because no one even cares how many people curse and act .

OHH Full of themselves.. Edark is full of himself, prayag, whitepimp, bebop.

And most of you just act like dogs and jump on anything you think it will be wrong cos the lord Edark tells you so.

For istance with the masked games?

Oh it is so wrong to make games that may help the site uh oh.

Or anything that may help the site, as suggestion by hundreds of other users.

You just ignore all..

I can make 5 pages and more with complains about the moderator team and the community. Because this is the core of the problems for the entire site for years!

We are good, unique site. We have good games, that are fun. We have lots of roles.

Even if Lucid is not active, he still shows up from time to time to do and add things.

EpicMafia is a good place.

But the community is what ruins everything through and through.

And moderators in their stead, do not try to controll the community.

And this is why we have a bad community.
