poor moderation/attention to reports

[The Don]

I would love to put you in the position of a 1-man-team super moderator for a week and see just how well you'd stick to what you've said. There's a process that has to be done when sending out warnings and reading the rest of the thread may be overlooked because of this process. As I have said, if the other posts had been reported then they would've been dealt with in exactly the same way.

It would be a breeze because I would use common sense and not persecute people when they’ve hardly done anything wrong. Rules are there to keep the forum in order. Pointless posting is against the rules because it encourages further pointless posts to be made in that thread thus turning it off topic. I, along with pretty much everyone in a functioning society, understand the concept of common sense. I would realise this thread has already been closed (not due to pointless posting) and would have left it as it’s hardly much of an issue and would most likely cause more trouble than it’s worth (look here for an example)

You really need to stay away from pointing and putting a blame on one single person while in a feedback thread otherwise it turns into a complaint and then it shouldn't be in this forum. Which you have already done and it should be kept left there and no need to start bringing it back to this thread unless it's providing suggestions for the whole department.

I just want to correct a few things up and no offence to anyone:

• Threads should be indeed checked for other rule breaking if posts from that thread have been reported. Now the actual posts in questions is a borderline on being pointless or not because they are indeed actually replying to other posts and it still made sense for what the actual discussion.
  
  
• The whole "What is a pointless post and what isn't" is probably a big mess right now and it doesn't help when Forum Management are currently away and the moderators of the department have been waiting for quite some time for clarification over this matter. Later this week when one of the members of Forum Management returns then it is their number one priority in actually getting the guidelines down and informing the department on what is pointless and what isn't. This would then actually resolve your case because that is what it boiled down to in terms of pointless posting.

I'm not going to divulge into my complaint, that's why it's in the complaints section, but believe me there is sufficient evidence. A member of GM also agrees that it does appear to be targeting so obviously my claims do have some credibility.

If you are refering to said complaint thread and not a private message conversation/another thread (if the latter, I apologise), I think you'll find that I specifically mentioned that I didn't think you were being targeted by any moderator.

[The Don]

If he hasn't been personally contacted by the forum manager (Or in this case Matt) then he has nothing to be apologising for.



I do agree but things are easily missed due to the reasons that Myke has mentioned above, so I don't think complaining about it is necessary. All it takes is the click of a few buttons to simply report a post which could have been missed so I don't think it's too much to ask.

Are you implying that unless specifically instructed to by higher authority (and it was clarified in that thread that I did not break any rules) someone shouldn’t apologise when they are wrong and have ‘punished’ a user for that. I think it’s common decency to do so and I haven’t heard of any other super moderator who wouldn’t do so.

I am indeed referring to another thread.

Well you didn't expect him to say sorry just because you personally disagreed, did you? I know Matt mentioned it briefly in the previous thread, but yes that is exactly what I am implying.

Also I agree entirely with what Matt just said. I'm sure Brandon will clear a few things up when he's back!

No, I expected him to say sorry because he falsely punished me when I did nothing wrong and for wasting my time having to complain to get it cleared that I didn’t break a rule whilst it was painstakingly obvious. Matt mentioned it, yes, he also mentioned how I did not break a rule which means that Martin was wrong.

Then it is up to Matt or forum management to undo the edit, remove the usernote and contact the moderator about it. Once thats done then you would probably get an apology.

If you're going to be petty about it, fine.
