Can moderating just stay as it is

[Casanova]

Don't think you can dispute that edit really, there's a rule, your broke it. End of really no need for a feedback thread everytime someone doesn't like an edit we give them.

No, that's not true. Maybe if you're going to be concise you should at least back it up with real evidence?

When we have a discussion with someone we engage in several ways, not just verbal. So, I'll use tone, speed, facial expression and body language to CONVEY what I mean.
If I say "you're a complete cow!" but say it with a smirk, open arms, eyebrow raised and follow it by a laugh then I'm jesting. Whereas if I say "You're a complete cow!" and it's said with closed arms, feet pointed awkwardly, a closed smile and lowered eyebrows in a deep tone then I'm clearly being offensive and attempting to start an arguement.

Online it's common knowledge we can't use any of this, we can only go by context and what's intended.
If I'm joking around and comment after Richie just called me stupid "shut it you sl..ag!" it would be meant in a joke, now normally I could be open to infraction/warning ONLY due to it being an offensive word to read NOT because it's actually offensive TO say?

Whereas if I use "you're a complete ****!" in a discussion without any provocation or anything it's led on from I'm clearly targetting a member.




I think it's ludicrious that people wouldn't use context and leads to understand someone's intention and the outcome desired. If you can't read this, can't interpret then moderation isn't for you - if you want to dispute this or understand where I'd find evidence look for Redtiz; she clearly states (old) Habbo Moderators would look for inclination, smileys and sarcasm/context. Ie if I say "Oh noez I'm gonna hax you :p" it's clearly a joke. If i say "I'm going to hack you!" it's not so much....


People need to grow up, grow a set and stop being complete jobsworth. @Chris of all people knows this so I don't understand Moderators wouldn't?

Depends how bad it is @laura;

[Chippiewill]

Can anyone tell me how GoldenMerc passed his trial? My last pm I got from him looks like it was typed by a 5 year old

Maybe it was?

I hardly think that typing ability is a real criteria for a forum moderator. This is the most pointless complaint about a moderator I've ever heard.

Ross has always had an issue with grammar and punctuality. It's not exactly a downfall considering it's quite common. Tad petty Richie.

@laura; I think it depends what department, News for example would need spelling and punctuation more whereas Events wouldn't. In this case I don't think moderation does (need it as) much.

well obviously

but

this is a thread about moderation and Stephen! mentioned Ross' passing and grammar, so I was commenting on that...

It doesn't make him a bad moderator - maybe there should be PM layouts (precise ones). Or copy from previous usernotes, that's what I tended to do before I got into the swing of it!!

its not nice receiving a generic, ready made reply.

[Chris]

I haven't notice anything wrong with Ross' grammar really. If it was a serious issue then it may cause some problems but in this case it isn't.

[Casanova]

If his grammar was misunderstood such as "please dont insult others" turns into "plastic donut inside Orla". cos that's just graphic .

Can't win either way then... don't want generic, don't want misspellings...

He knows that his spag isn't great but it's not his fault - like I said before it doesn't make him a bad moderator.

It's not that bad, just little misspellings (your/you're is the main one that bugs me).
