infraction suggestion

[Nixt]

Harldy :S

"Hi *user*,
Just a quick messag regarding this thread:

*link*

We are wondering wether you would like to take action against the person who insulted you/aimed to insult you,

Yours,

*Your name*



Too much time my ****. Some of you are just lazy

Ross you know I love you but you're wrong - seriously Moderation is a lot of work . If it had a point then it would be a necessary addition to the workload of Moderators but it's pointless anyway, if the person meant to be offensive they deserve to get Infracted.

No but the mods halve of the time do know it's a joke, I'm not naming any mods here but only a selection

IE:

you n00b

I got infracted once for calling ami that.. and she said same to me and got infracted.. you can tell it's a joke. =\\.

Incidents like that are no longer infracted for and have not been infracted for for a long time.

only infract if the post is reported then, alot easier.

That's partially what we already do.

Yes I agree it's different when the post is a joke... but I think this issue has already been addressed?

Meh that could be true as I haven't been infracted for a while

I didn't realize then, my bad :eusa_wall

Garion I know where you're coming from there, I didn't mean it as in you're all lazy. But some of them would refuse to that scheme, it would take 3 minutes max, then when you receive the reply you just issue an infraction? You can still work whilst waiting on the PM.

Indeed, I see what happened here
I think that one was issued and reversed around the time that the 'insult' was reviewed.

If they were insulted by it, they would report it or PM a moderator if it was urgent. There is really no need for this extra step to be taken. If the user decides to take it into their own hands and insult back, someone else may report it or perhaps the original insulter would report it.

It would also take quite a bit of time out of our otherwise busy moderation tasks to form an individual PM detailing the event and asking the questions required, we would then need to wait for a response before taking any sort of action. Essentially, this idea just adds extra needless administration time and as Garion has already said, it is unnecessary to do so as the individual had the intention of being vindictive in the first place.

Though its no worse then a user swearing and you removing the content really. Its just lazyness at the end of the day towards certain moderators, i thought the point of Super Moderators was to keep the slack low to normal moderators, it doesnt seem the case, maybe its time MAD hired some more Super Moderators then.

Working aint supposed to be easy

Indeed.

only infract if the post is reported then, alot easier.

Yup

Tbh, you act on "bullying" too much and try to keep the forum safe blah blah, though if a user WAS being bullied they'll report it or its there fault really, it takes seconds to report the post as "its bulling me ect" and then the mod can take action otherwise no action should be took as its not affecting the user :rolleyes:

Actually I distinctly remember a member of management saying that Moderators are here to remind users of the rules with friendly infractions and warnings, it is our job as Super Moderators to actually issue punishments i.e. cautions, bans etc.

[Neversoft]

Usually if a person starts bullying someone the victim would retaliate. So in the end both the victim and the person doing the bullying end up with an infraction. It's pretty stupid really.

It's not that hard.
