Are The Mods Doing A Good Job? (Poll)

[QUOTE="N8A"]

I almost spat cristal light on my keyboard...just the image of someone forced to moderate a forum against their wil made me laugh

I like to dilute cristal light down to 1/2 strength and I usually go through 1-1.5 gallons per day. The ElRaptorwas just too much...another way the mods get you: Pointloss and keyboard spills.

disruptive posting and topics outside of board description are the most frequent reports to me :? they are all justified, and against the tou. It's there for a reason, and not to be ignored ;)

disruptive topics, not posts in threads. I almost never report posts in threads, unless they are offensive towards me, or are BIG violations against tou. like ban-worthy stuff.

I actually do despise their very existence. Let's just say if you say anything bad about Gamespot, you get moderated even if it is your opinion.

And if this post gets modded, then that proves my theory even more :D

yeah, its a good thing we have a variety of mods, so that things could be done differently sometimes. Question:

what does the mod queue look like? how does it show up and such?

THe mod queue is just a long list of reported infractions...has the time it was reported...the urgency the offender and teh reporter.........you click on it and it takes you to the post.....Omni-Slash

where do you go to check it out? is it a tab in your inbox or something? thanks for the info though.

nope....it appears in the profile summery...just as your moderation history link is there....you also get access to the Moderators Lounge...(ie a board that the mods hash out issues in).....Omni-Slash

:o O!!!!! THAT is what they keep talking about. ok. now I finally get it. thanks man, ive wondered that since last year... thats pretty cool. im glad I know now.

One time someone got banned for saying spoilers about the newest Harry Potter book YET HE HAD A BIG *SPOILER* in the title AND in the thread it said *SPOILERS BELOW DONT READ IF YOU DONT WANT TO*

Epic lulz, indeed.

I saw one of the mods kicking a 3 legged dog. I've heard they also use waterboarding on some unruly forumites.

This poll is excellent. I have personally dealt with several in a short amount of time. Everyone was helpful and willing to keep open avenues of conversation... UNTIL... one became pretty smart-@$$ed and left me bitter at all of them. This isn't fair. MOST of them are pretty cool, SOME of them powertrip. For example [moderator omitted] responded to one of my posts in which I was intelligibly presenting my argument in a very ignorant fashion. [Moderator omitted] did not read the entirity of what I had posted, or perhaps he did and chose not to take the time to comprehend it. [Moderator omitted] then responded to my post, basically restating what I had initially said in the first post, and ended with a smart@$$ comment. I then checked his profile and [moderator omitted] had an image on his banner of PacMan going after a ghost. PacMan was labeled as "MOD" and Clyde, the Ghost was labeled as "USER." It seems like this guy takes pleasure in antagonizing the members, and this isn't fair. If we did it, then it would be labeled as "flaming." In conclusion, [moderator omitted] can go do nasty things to himself, while the rest (who have been supportive and helpful) can continue to patrol the Gamespot community.

Thank you

a sentence in that post had poor composition: [Moderator omitted] responded in a very ignorant fashion to one of my posts in which I was intelligibly presenting my argument.

CORRECTED

Wait a minute..aaronmullan
