counterproductive moderation.

Doing this would seriously devalue the quality of posts made on the forum. Sure, post counts would go up very fast, but then the content of posts made would be reduced down to the average post quality of Gaia Forums (if you're unaware of what this, it's a very popular but also very insignificantly intellectual internet teenage forum).

moderators have refused to vote? why? because they dislike the people involved? surely moderators need to be impartial at all times.

Sometimes they just forget to vote or are being lazy, it happens to the best of moderators on occasion but so long as management is reminding the team to participate, and so long as the moderators are given enough time to vote then not voting usually isn't a huge concern.

I wouldn't advocate for post count to increase in certain sections of the forum (such a thread in the graphics section would be the PAPOY thread). Infact, post count increases in such threads is a discussion that's been had at length throughout the years.

@HotelUser; are you GaiaUser that would be a great username.

nothing against the moderator but i dont get this kind of edit
http://www.habboxforum.com/showthrea...71#post7508171

he said 'wankin' and apparently that is avoiding the filter when it's not, it's the forums censorship that's the problem, if the word was filtered correctly it would be '****in'.

is the edit/warning needed, it should just be a removal and a pm to management to fix the filter?

******* I agree with you there. The full word filters but it doesn't filter the start of it so it's not Ross' fault.
