Decline in quality of the Moderation decisions

[j0rd]

personally i think the department went downhill as soon as i left

[lawrawrrr]

"feel free to appeal but don't bother cos it's not gonna change." haha. I suppose there are so few posts these days that it's not that difficult for the general manager to be involved with discussions about every rule break. That system sounds like some serious micromanagement though!

Charlie has sent me a PM or two about some of my posts more recently but it's a petty thing to get so worked up about and I just don't care anymore.

Alicia* and Cerys - as fairly new moderators - weren't as confident as they are now but but with some more controversial posts they do still ask in the moderator staff chat and if I'm online I'll reply, as do the other mods, Sam and Matt! Being a mod is quite daunting for some people so I understand why they'd want their decisions verified so they don't make the wrong one and receive a horrible PM back as we have had in the past. I guess yeah that's why things don't get reversed very often but people are more than willing to make their case and someone will explain WHY at least.

Mods don't have to ask though and are absolutely trusted to do the job but if they want they can, it's not micromanagement

Why does this thread remind me of the following video? No offense aimed at you Dan

Your initial wording of posts is as bad as mine lol.

"All decisions are discussed between the entire moderation department and myself and everyone is welcome to appeal. But as you'll find, they won't be reversed as myself or Matt are involved in said warning process."

is the total opposite of helping out when mods ask for it, which I can understand and definitely is not micromanagement

you are absolutely right there! this is what happens when I'm replying to feedback while doing a horrible page at work LOL! the second bit is definitely right, it's not all decisions, I think I meant all potentially controversial decisions!

What I don't understand was before when first spoilers were first added it wasn't such a big warning and you would only edit it and PM them reminding to add the badspoilers and you wouldn't be warned/infracted for it, although now, I don't know who changed the rule but people get warned/infracted for it. The thing I don't really understand is that you are allowed to say ****, mother ****er just not directed at anyone but if it is in a picture it will be placed in a badspoiler and if you've repeated it then you get infracted for inappropriate language, whilst if you actually type out the words you don't get warned for it.

The **** part is because it's in the extended filter so some people will choose not to have them shown, it counts as avoiding the optional filter - if you type it out in full then it'll still be hidden for some people but images show for everyone!

With spoiler warnings i believe they're only send if there's repeat offences after reminders (which a lot of people do interpret as warnings)

I am told the above comments, directed at @abc; , are aimed to get him to retaliate. Well of course they are. That's kinda the point in heated debate. All those who debate with me in that forum know that what happens in the debate stays in the debate, and I do not see why comments aimed at getting people to retaliate (aka post back which is what the forum is FOR) are now being moderated.

Would the Moderator who has warned Dan for this please apologise to him. This is ridiculous. If you are warning him for posting those things towards me (or anyone) then you clearly haven't read a single thread properly or in context in that section.

There is nothing wrong with what he has posted in those quotes.
