Oh, hey.
common sense
Doesn't exist in the real world.

Ok, basic human decency. (Even though common sense in our day and age exists but this thread isn't about this)

Oh, hey.
I will say as a mod for only like... what, a month now?

That I've seen a lot of reports are people acting like babbies rather than actual offenses. Of course there are real ones worthy of actually taking action with (to which I've messed up once or twice), but yeah.

But would you say you genuinely messed up or that it could have gone both ways (meaning there was logic behind your decision)
As in I'm still learning my way about a few things.

Which is a valid excuse, to a certain extent obviously. And if things were fixed quickly I don't see why it would be made a big deal.

I was actually the one who reversed both instances because I was contacted about them. It certainly helps when the person is polite about the matter too.

As it should be, mistakes are made and I can imagine it wasn't a major one (as far as major mistakes can go on an Internet forum). If I got banned for no reason and then unbanned because it was a mistake, I wouldn't be upset.

I disagree.


And that was the first case of it happening. I didn't see anything in the rules.

Das, we've banned people before for this. You aren't the first one and you probably won't be the last either.

Granted we won't know about these unless someone reports them. Which is why I'm saying unsolicited, cause if they were solicited neither side would report it.

This is not the greatest sig in the world, no. This is just a tribute.
I told 'em how it would happen. They didn't stop it.

Are we talking instances real mod bias? Cause I've seen/heard about some weird theories and other shit out there.

There have been some cases of bias or inconsistency that I've had to clear up or reverse in the past though. It's less of a problem now than it was earlier on in my opinion.

I mean in general, like shady decisions that are clearly more towards certain users, or even overall. Like a mod banning someone for saying something they personally were offended by. Or a mod screwing over another member.

I don't think anyone has been banned over something that a mod has been personally offended by. The first and third have happened though. Kiyo being the example of someone who screwed over another member. The first happening a few times over the course of this websites history, but calling them shady would be outright false.

Ok by personally offended by I mean for something that wasn't against the rules. No Das, you pming people loli porn doesn't count.

I know Kiyo was crazy, and that's the only person in which I understood why everyone lost their shit. But I always see more claims of outright "wrong decisions" made by mods. I'm incredibly non partial to a lot of people on here, especially those I like, and I've found it really hard to really say there has been anything done wrong outside of Kiyo

Well there actually have been a few made by mods in the past. Sometimes threads are locked that shouldn't be, sometimes people are warned that shouldn't be. There's even been an couple instances where someone was banned who shouldn't have been.

Completely removing bias from people is outright impossible, however people don't always intentionally act upon their biases. For example we've had times where mod(s) were inconsistent when it came to locking threads. They may not have been actively searching out threads made by a specific group of users to lock, but they ended up leaving threads open of the same type that were made by other users. This was something that was brought to our attention by a couple members speaking up about it.

Fair play, but my point is the vast majority of decisions regarding locks, bans and warnings is pretty consistent. More so then any forum I've seen. And this isn't to say mods are infallible, it's just to say that the mods we have do the best job I've seen. And I think more often then not its forgotten simply due to the fact we have a dedicated user base, so if their banned their going to be salty since it's their primary way of wasting away time.

But it's annoying to see the perception of the quality of performance being so skewed either by way of a small mistake, or coincidence. You guys have been pretty open and honest when it comes to making mistakes which is very rare to see. It's just a lack of appreciation, which is a pretty big theme on here, that bugs me the most.

It's pretty hard to only have chosen one bad mod out of dozen

‘The most inoffensive user on this website’ - Verbatim
Wasn't mod bias just the go-to complaint for shitposters when they got banned early on?

Aww this thread makes me feel all bubbly on the inside. ^.^
Yeah we're not perfect, but we try our best to not let our own feelings influence our decisions negatively for the better of the forum.  It's not easy, but I like that we allow moderate banter and shitposting.

His eyebrows sparkling, his white beard hangs down to his chest. The thatched mats, spread outside his chise, spread softly, his splendid attos. He polishes, cross-legged, his makiri, with his eyes completely absorbed.

He is Ainu.

The god of Ainu Mosir, Ae-Oine Kamuy, descendant of Okiku-Rumi, He perishes, a living corpse. The summers day, the white sunlight, unabrushed, ends simply through his breath alone.

But I guess in the end -- Sort of feels like everyday its harder to stay happy where you are. There are all these ways to look through the fence into your neighbor's yard.

Why even risk it? its safer to stay distant.

It's 100% real. Also I trademarked "mod bias" since I'm the one who first used the term, you owe me 50 bucks.
