Rate the moderation on this forum

[-WooTWooTWooT-]

?????????????

[Immenseman]

I'd say 3 - Average. They do their job to a good enough standard but their is substantial room for improvement.

[Molly.22]

I would say 4, there is great moderation in the bits of the forum I look at :D

[Ed.]

The moderation is generally good but sometimes the Mods over moderate where it really isn't needed :)

[buttons]

moderation in spam especially is poor. can't really comment on other areas though.

[e5]

2 - Poor.

I find moderators edit peoples harmless posts, just because they know a little bit of background info on the user, automatically assuming they've posted to cause an argument :l

[lBlue]

moderation is good in the sports section at last. could be better, just need to make the mods follow what that catzsy person does by handing out more warnings than infractions.

[Chippiewill]

Many people would say moderation is poor, these are the people who get infracted a lot because they have it harder since they sometimes go over the top and therefore are treated harshly for minor things.

I feel that the moderation in general is 'Good' however for the standard of this forum I would rate it 'Average'. The mods do very well, but only as good as the rest of the teams in percentage above other forums.

Also I think that Catzsy deserves a medal/promotion.

[myke]

Average ... most of the errors that people pick up on are usually the rules being enforced, or a rule being enforced too harshly, generally, moderation is ok.

I don't think many users (ones who are banned are exempt :P) have many more infractions than me, obviously some do. I still think the moderation is alright and I accept that the ones I currently have are fair :)

I agree with you about Catzsy though, fantastic for the moderation department. I genuinely think she takes it from poor > average. Without her I think I'd be voting poor which is a pretty big compliment me thinks. :)

[dirrty]

i'd say good. all of the SMs do a good job, however i can't really say the same for all of the normal moderators. the majority do a decent job at moderating, but one or two do let the team down at times. such as i don't think i've seen a few mods doing their thang around the forum, like making edits, closing threads etc. sure theres a bit more to moderating than the things above, but i'd say those are the areas that most of members can judge upon.

but yeah, as a collective they do a good job. theres room for improvement, but that occurs everywhere and i think mattgarner is doing a good job making those improvements to make the moderating department a much more better team. sure at times some members deem certain mods quite 'strict' or whatever for making certain decisions, but at the end of the day, if ya don't like it, report it.

[The Professor]

I can't say I come accross it enough these days to form an opinion.

[Xoim]

Yeah I think 4 Catzy and Laurenish are pretty good, they contact me when I have done something wrong like everyone and they are also very pleasant.

Unlike other forums where mods are very dull at least HxF mods have personality :L

[Caution]

I think it's generally good, but I see posts where they've missed it quite a lot. You can't blame them though, really. They have to put up with complete ********s most of the time.

[GommeInc]

I voted average - Super Moderators are generally okay, but some moderators let down the team. I suggest strangling of the bad ones :)

odear :(


yeah i think there are a few people on the team who need to become more active but isn't that the same in every department? Personally i think we need a bigger team at the moment.

The moderation in spam is only strict and OTT sometimes because some members who post in there are the same? No one in there exactly makes it easy for us.

[Calvin]

as other people said, super mods okay but some normal mods let the team down :).

[cocaine]

im not sure if its just my lack of awareness but the only moderating i've come across has been from Hecktix and MattGarner tbh. i dont post that often however, but apart from them two i think i'd struggle to name any other moderators.

however, saying that, i'd vote average as i've not seen any posts where edits should be made and i've not seen any edits that are totally unjustified.

[leah]

I think it's good, it could be improved on but overall the forum is moderated well and trouble is kept to a minimum.

[PriceTags]

I noticed a moderator replied to one of my threads regarding an Edexcel exam I had earlier this year in a part of the forum they didn't moderate at the time, and they told me I had broken the rule regarding when those exams can be discussed, when I had in fact followed the rule to a minute.

Another moderator had made a number of posts about a month (I think) before being hired as a moderator which targetted another member who doesn't use the forum any more (calling her fat, saying the apocalypse was near if she returned and some other things like that). I did complain about it at the time, and report the posts but I never received a reply.

Apart from little things like that, moderation is good, but sometimes the moderators display a strange interpretation of the rules.

It is indeed a big compliment, I'm sure she will appreciate it. She already knows what I think about her, but she's a great credit to the department.

Keep the reports out of this.

[AgnesIO]

Woot are you gonna ever vote yourself?

And it is actually quite good. The PM's are mucher nicer and more personal now, especially Catzy's - mainly because it always seems to be her that reminds me of the rules :D They are nice PM's, so yeh the quality of moderating is good.

Lol haha, just joking with you :)

[Arch]

I say 4 (Good) because there is always room for improvement so you cant rly vote perfect. andddddd yerrr as said before I see alot more SMod edits and stuff then normal Mods but i guess that just depends on the section and stuff/whos online when it happens?

[cocaine]

Last months reports beg to differ ;)

well yeah, but i was stating what i've seen from my own point of view. i dont care about reports, i was clarifying the level of moderation i myself see across the forum.

[Hecktix]

The thing I feel the need to highlight here is that all of our moderators here at HxF are human.

What I don't believe a lot of people realise is that every decision we make is based on our own judgement and this is something that is not easy as we are aiming to be as fair as we possibly can.

The thing with the spam forum for instance - is it's almost impossible to keep up with who is friends with who, who will take what as a joke and all the personal private jokes which fly around. I think the rules in spam are extremely leniant, yes some moderators make mistakes however may I refer back to my original point - we are only human.

At the end of the day I can remember a time when permanent bans were issued for saying bad things towards general management????

People are given a hell of a lot more chances nowadays.

No rules can be 100% accurate and no moderation can be 100% perfect unless some clever dude comes up with an automatic moderation system which scans posts for rule breaks.. and let's face it - we practically have this - we have Catzsy :P

As for previous comments on moderator activity - most moderators are quite active.

Cocaine (sorry to refer to you by forum name Matt - it simplifies things), you mention moderation by myself & MattGarner, as you say you don't post enough :P but you also see thousands of edits by the likes of Catzsy, Mobile, iAdam (who seems to have been moderating like a computer himself this summer :P), Luccy, Paul & Robbie.

If a post gets reported you have 100% guaruntee it'll be checked by one of the four s'mods and you have the word of us normal mods that we scan threads & will always be on hand to explain our decisions etc to members.

Members need to know where to draw the line.

There are very few members on this forum without an infraction (expired or existing) or a usernote.

Some have more, but they don't make a habit of breaking rules.

When moderation are constantly tried by continuous rule breakers it's very difficult to know what's breaking rules & what isn't - but to be honest looking at the amount of reversed infractions most mods make few mistakes and when they do they themselves are the first to admit it.

I myself just PM'd Catzsy and asked her to reverse an infraction I issued in the midst of a crazy arguement which in hindsight I believed too harsh.

All I'm saying is if you experienced the task we do, you may be a little less likely to slate us for every move we make.

[efq]

2 - Poor.

Yeah, I get accused of something and report someone who did EXACTLY the same and nothing happened to them. Some moderators just like to edit posts for the sake of it, I swear.

I will stick by my vote until I notice personally an improvement.

THERE IS NO EXCUSE.

It's alright, it's good in some places, but other places need vast improvements.

Catzsy however, is very good at her job, moderation would be pretty darn near perfect if we had about 20 Catzsy clones running about the place :)

Agreed, if we ever had to pick a mod manager instead of forum manager (like two seperate roles) and it had to be a current mod, catzy would be in first place.

[dogboy123]

I think its very very good.

I doi agree Rosie, is a very very good smod and well yeah. The forum team is always improving and I think they're doing a great job!

Correct! :P

[UrbanRyan]

I don't use the forum that much, in fact hardly ever. But from what I've seen I would rate it about 4, as they is still quite a bit of spam and pointlessly posting going on.

[Catzsy]

Well thanks for this but there are many very capable and hardworking people that deserve a chance and they have been on Habbox a lot longer than me and I have not been back very long. :)

[Immenseman]

stop being so modest girl

[myke]

Ok, why has this thread turned into a "big me up" thread... Some moderators are just too much winkle picking, looking for the slightest of errors to infract for to get their reports up, well, that is how I see some of the edits, not all, but some are unjust.

[Catzsy]

Huh? I think that's somewhat unfair. Have you reported these edits? If not, can you be more specific? Also mod logs are nowhere near as important as they used to be under the present Forum Management which is great to see. They used to be considered to be the be all and end all of moderating a period of time . The amount of warnings and infractions has decreased dramatically since I was last at Habbox. I think that some for of the people in this thread have made quite a lot of sweeping statements without actually backing them up with anything credible. The only edits that have increased as far as I can see are related to spam because of pointless posting [which mods can now deal with] and not complying with forum specific rules about which there has been a lot of complaints in the last couple of months. Spamming these sections has caused a lot of annoyance to the members of the trading section and Graphics section and now we have a couple of mods that really are dedicated to keeping it to a minimum which can only be good as far as I am concerned.

[Immenseman]

the thing is people who moan endlessly, i would single them out but it's pretty clear looking around the forum don't notice the good edits and moderating just the bits that aren't so good, which they always think is them being targeted. everyone gets infractions and everyone makes mistakes. some people need to grasp that.

[myke]

Huh? Have you reported these edits?

no because they're editing for the rules but taking the rule simply a step too far. & you can't report anything now without the person finding out so what's the point lol

[Catzsy]

no because they're editing for the rules but taking the rule simply a step too far. & you can't report anything now without the person finding out so what's the point lol

Huh? Examples, Myke and nobody knows who has reported posts as far as I am aware. I am not saying you don't have a point - I am just saying I am unaware of what you actually mean.

The amount of infractions given are no longer included in the Moderator Reports.

No, it just annoys me, and probably other members (unless it's just me it happens to), most times when a post is reported the person reported knows about it.

[Catzsy]

No, it just annoys me, and probably other members (unless it's just me it happens to), most times when a post is reported the person reported knows about it.

Well I seriously don't think there is any truth in this, Myke, I have dealt with absolutely loads in the last couple of days and certainly haven't revealed who reported them to anybody unless I have to forward say to nvrspk4 or Matt. I am sure that if I did I would get into serious trouble as divulging information out of the staff forums is against the staff rules.

[Immenseman]

I don't think staff actually care any more if they break the rules to be honest. Long time since staff were disciplined properly as far as I'm concerned.

[Catzsy]

I don't think staff actually care any more if they break the rules to be honest. Long time since staff were disciplined properly as far as I'm concerned.

Well I care and I am sure the Forum Management do too, Jake.

[Immenseman]

However, I think a lot of the members know that staff can get away with murder. I'm not going to criticise them because I wasn't the best role model when I was staff either. However, I always made sure that when on the forum I represented it well and ensured I didn't let Habbox down. The events I participated on outside of Habbox eventually let me down. Anyway, the thing is staff don't care about this any more because they know they can get away with it.

I think there are going to be changes pretty soon which will hopefully eradicate such issues. Some staff members are just as bad as any of the members and under old regimes they would have been fired long ago.

some mods love the edit button to much

there was an incident recently, which just proves my point, i'm not dropping anyone in it because it's been dealt with bla bla whatever...

No not at all. I am not saying that ... but if there is a leak/misunderstanding it should be dealt with. Members should feel they can report posts with confidence knowing that it will be kept confidential unless they agree otherwise for any reason. I take what you say seriously.

Good to see with 48 votes, 41 people have voted average and upwards.

I'd say it's good enough. I haven't seen much arguements. But even though I'm not a big poster, I know to stay away from 'Spam' because from what I see, it's like it's own little community where not everyone is accepted. I prefer the overall forum moderation but the Spam section could be improved.

Everybody is welcome to post in spam, if there are any issues of people feeling unwelcome/unwanted then any reported posts will be dealt with or you could PM me or one of the other General moderators and we'll look into it (:

I find it interesting who voted poor and who voted average+.

I think the consensus is that moderation is pretty good but as always there is room for improvement.

I think that its very difficult for moderators to get a "good" rating because for MOST people their interaction with them will be when they're punished. Few would give a good review for that :P Though I'm sure there are some.

[kre8ive]

In comparison with ClubHabbo, this forum has a great moderation team. So, I'd say 4 it's quite good.

[Chippiewill]

I think that its very difficult for moderators to get a "good" rating because for MOST people their interaction with them will be when they're punished. Few would give a good review for that :P Though I'm sure there are some.

I rated it with 'Fair Punishments/Warnings and Interaction level Vs. Unfair Punishments/Warnings & missed wrong doing' with the unfair with double weight. I ended up rating good. You shouldn't complain if you did wrong, you should complain if you got something reversed.

[RandomManJay]

I've never had a problem and whenever I complain about anything there has always been a quick response :P.

[Hecktix]

To clarify, the reason I voted very good is because I know we do our best.

However there is a lot of improvements needed before going from very good to excellent ;)

[Black_Apalachi]

I put 4. You can't say it's bad as a whole, but there is room for improvement. Considering they are volunteers working on a non-profit forum, it's substancially better than you would expect :).

The Smods are good, just not the mods

I have to agree with you guys, which is why I have voted poor. It was very good a few months ago, maybe even a month ago, but the few threads I do read seem to have a lot of posts removed or accused of arguments lately, when it isn't really needed. Other than that, I think it is good.

[Catzsy]

Well this has been a good feedback thread, I believe from the members who have not just made sweeping statements without anything really to back up what they say. One thing not mentioned are the very supportive members who do support us in helping to keep the forum clean - they deserve a 5 for reporting rule breaking all over the forum which certainly makes our jobs a lot easier. Also worthy of a mention are the majority of members who do abide by the rules and if they want something changed file a thread in feedback as to why it is needed. We are not perfect and can always learn something from our members but this is only possible with the input of the Community we serve.

Agreed, the only sensible thing is getting rid of that problematic Forum Manager :D

I think one small lesson that could be learnt for the moderators is to up their common sense in some cases. But generally they have the inteilligence to take action where action is due. Some over-react, but it's very rare (this is going by current experience). As someone mentioned, the moderation in the sports section might need looking into.

[nvrspk4]

Agreed, the only sensible thing is getting rid of that problematic Forum Manager :D

I think one small lesson that could be learnt for the moderators is to up their common sense in some cases. But generally they have the inteilligence to take action where action is due. Some over-react, but it's very rare (this is going by current experience). As someone mentioned, the moderation in the sports section might need looking into.

Love you x


Agreed on all counts though I think its not always common sense. Its walking into a situation and seeing it from a different vantage point than someone else. And in all honesty, that can't be completely avoided, there WILL be different perceptions and quite often 99% of people take a post one way and a poster takes a post the other way. There is an attempt at communication, but at the same time how easy it to spin a post that was intended to break the rules and bully?

Its a hard thing for them to balance and while they don't get it right 100% of the time, they try their hardest and the mistakes are usually corrected along the line.

No thanks, I'm waiting for the GM position, as you agreed months ago :P

I've noticed on quite a few forums I've used in the past and presently (maybe the future :O), that some moderators post in threads to get both sides of the story and calm things down. It looks effective, it just depends how lazy people are though.

I gave it a 5, only because I have seen alot more people who purposely break the rules, getting told off for it. The MODs are even starting to clue in on peoples 'private jokes', which has always been a pet hate for me in the Spam Forum. I think the Moderation team could do better though, but (not to brown nose) since MattGarner has become Forum Manager I'd say the improvement has been pretty immense.

I think some powers that the MODs have aren't being used much either, like forum bans, I've only heard of one person getting that... Should be used a bit more methinks. Correct me if I'm wrong for it not being used, thats just what I've heard. :P

only time i've seen people being punished for private jokes is when it's aimed at a moderator or certain members, i really believe there are different rules for different people on here. i've seen a lot of examples of it and some moderators do take things personally, i'm pretty sure there will be one person that says that's ridiculous and another who says THEY don't do that which just backs up my point that they do indeed take it personally.. i wouldn't say i'm that much of a trouble maker and the ones that voted it high tend to be staff (from what i can see anyway) so they aren't likely to get punished (it's true, so many people shoulda been fired but *SOMEONE* likes to make excuses for them), i'm not even going into it because again so many people take things personally and make it out they're always right :rolleyes:
although i do agree it's gotten better since matt became forum manager, mainly because he was a regular in spam where there are a lot of trouble so he'll know better if some people are joking or really meaning to insult others i spose

Back in the day nobody got infracted for targeting a moderator or certain members at all, so I'd say thats progression. Hell I'll even go as far to say I've been infracted for targeting members, can't say they're doing a bad job xD I'd agree with you though, on how certain moderators have grudges against members, nothing can be proven though given its done through the channels which aren't exactly recorded.

I guess it was a while ago though that it happened, but some moderators do put their personal feelings in front of their thinking minds. Agree with you on Matt though, he still sorta is a regular in Spam anyway so he knows the 411.

[Immenseman]

i don't think any member of the moderation department understands half the genuine meanings of threads, regardless of them posting in there it doesn't mean they can moderate any better. at the end of the day i'm not going to moan endlessly, truth is i have a lot of infractions/warning and one of the highest user note count yet i don't go around thinking moderation is rubbish and that they're out to get me yet i suppose that's because i have been a moderator myself and can empathasise with both sides of the divide so to speak.

[Richie]

I chose 'good' only because if I chose 'very good' it would make me seem biased, I chose good because any-time I have a problem on the forum the forum staff will normally sort it. The only time I have been contact about something wrong on the forum was about my avatar and signature being oversized which is understandable, I have never got an infraction on the forum, so I can't really fault on how they punish people, but I'm sure they have procedures and rules to follow through before they give infraction's to forum members that don't abide by the rules.

give me an example of a rule that would be good for 8 year olds but not for us because we're teenagers.

[GommeInc]

give me an example of a rule that would be good for 8 year olds but not for us because we're teenagers.
A9. Do not post on the forum using a different language
Even 8 year olds would see that is pointless, let alone teens :P

A10. Do not be a negative factor on the forum
How can that be justified? Technically that's opinion, and can be heavily abused. If anything, what makes up the rule can be found in the other rules - rudeness, swearing, bullying... All negative factors

A13. Leave moderating to the moderators.
This rule is debateable, some people say things which can technically be considered "acting as a moderator" when really they're just a conflicting opinion. Like if I told you to "Stop swearing", then technically that's against this rule as saying "Do not insult or be rude to other members, and always respect other people’s opinions." Also telling someone to stop spamming, being pointless and so forth. This rule should technically be written out as "A13. Leave moderating to the moderators - Do not take individual or group action on a member who maybe breaking the rules. If someone is breaking the rules, report it to a moderator."
- In other words, this rule is kinda treating everyone like 8 year olds, we follow the rules so it's expected for us to hope other people do too :/

B3. Do not pretend to work for Habbo(x) when this is not the case
This one is common sense. It doesn't need to be a rule. If someone is pretending, it's obvious. This rule belongs in the stone age.

I WIN :D

[Black_Apalachi]

There are filters on many, many forums, they're not there to keep kids from seeing swear words they're there because the forum is a better place without people effing and blinding every other word. And are you saying people who go to Oxford never swear? Have you never seen Steven Fry on the TV? He's probably the most intelligent, posh guy on TV and he swears when its funny/necessary/when he wants to. It has nothing to do with income or class whatsoever.

So you say if you see the same ammount of posh people swear as you do middle class?

And yes many many forums have filters, but many many forums arn't based around teen communitys to where we try to expresses our selves, and i only disliked the filter rule because i got warned then infracted for saying abbreviated sentences with swear words in and then infracted for adding my own * to it... tbf i think 3 is quite alright, its average.

[iDenning]

Yep. To me posh and middle class are synonymous anyway (I'm such lower class scum :P), I've met plenty of people like you describe who go to private schools and have rich families and all that and they swear as much as the scum I've met from up north. Stereotypes are a very weak basis for an argument!

You can express yourself without cluttering up the forum with obscenities, Ye Olde Gomme has to be one of the angriest internet users I've met and he does it without the use of swear words :P

On the whole, the Moderation (IMO) is simple, SMODs are good, normal MODs not so good. But that's my opinion.

I should be a MOD for sports forum!!!!!!! :)

Honestly though, someone who uses and knows what the Sports forum/Sports in general is like should be a Moderator their, it'd make the section better on the whole.

Everyone knew Catzsy was by far the best moderator and hard working member of the department, so it was a shame to see her promoted, in a way.

huh :S i was only echoing a point you made a pretty big deal of a few months back.


gPost before it's locked I guess (:rolleyes:). What's your idea of trolling in this section? It's different to the other sections because it has the whole banter (which some users take too far because they don't understand what true banter is) which you can find in the stands. Just wondering considering a thread was recently locked which I do not believe is trolling, you find that sort of thing in the stands at a ground!

What's the point in having a SPORTS section which is dominated by football when you can't transfer the mild banter from the stands into this section?

My opinion on trolling? Probably saying to someone "Your team is crap, your players are crap" etc on a continuous note (you find most of this in stand and generally in a work place or school) to spark a reaction. Every so often is fine because it's basics of the ground banter.

That is exactly what the thread was about which got locked, stand banter. The moderating staff don't half baffle me sometimes on here.

Yeh, post your opinion of it if you like IF you're a continues user of this section - not someone looking to troll this thread. :neutral:

Thread moved by Garion (Assistant Forum Manager): From "Sports and Hobbies" to "Habbox Feedback" :).


Want a suggestion?

Don't ask the moderators of that section who I would say only Robbie has a decent knowledge of football and the banter, ask the regular posters of that section to give you examples of what they deem is trolling and what isn't.

Surely that would give the moderating team a rough idea of trolling in the sports section? :rolleyes:


No, you mentioned this...


If the problem is moderators not being able to moderate the section due them not being able to see what level of banter it is then what's going to change if you're asking the SAME moderators how the section should be moderated?

Surely you should PM regular uses of the section asking them to give examples of the banter which the users believe is trolling and what isn't. The moderators could then use these examples as future references when moderating that section in the future.

Rate the moderation on this forum?

I can't rate it as a new member, so I will rate it as a long time one, who has witnessed the changes.

If the forum was poorly moderated, it wouldn't have survived this long, every part of the forum would have problems. I don't think moderation overall has ever been very poor or poor for that matter. I don't visit spam and rarely visit the sports forum, and I'm sure Management must be looking for ways to improve moderation all the time particularly if it's as bad as has been mentioned in this thread. I imagine some forums are better moderated than others, most in my opinion will be good, some exceptionally good, and possibly a few average. Let's be grateful staff are human and not robots, there would be no debating with robots. What seems to be highlighted in this thread is that one or two particular forums are poorly moderated, so let's hope senior staff take note of that fact, and act on it.

What is the main problem with the spam forum? Does the spam forum attract problems from newer members? If it does, perhaps restrict new members from having access to that forum until they have been registered on the forum for six months or even a year. If this took place it wouldn't effect existing members, just newly registered who should be joining the forum to become part of the community here, and not to cause trouble in spam.

Habbox needs to keep standards high if it wants to continue, staff are like members and need to follow the rules. If staff are breaking the rules or taking advantage of their position, they will eventually be found out, and discover they were not as smart as they first thought, find that they lack respect from the majority of members, whilst those that do a great job will be admired and trusted too. That's worth remembering.
