I don't view it as calling you guys the wrong thing at all.

Now that I think about it, this "issue" brings us full circle back to this thread's intentions. If you guys feel the use of "MODs" is trolling, then state such in the TOU. Don't leave it up to your discretion.

Going by this poll, it seems a great deal of us lowly posters would prefer more transparency when it comes to violating the TOU

You're 100% right. I think there is little chance this will be taken up in the ToU since most of us moderators don't get the MOD thing :)

It's like people writing P.C. instead of PC. It makes me crazy but I don't start modding people for it.

That doesn't change the fact that he's been asked to stop this before, and the only reason he would continue to do it now is to intentionally be annoying. There's no reason to bring this to the ToU because it's a simple matter of what's correct and what isn't. If he wants to continue to do that, he'll get no respect from me. Simple as that.

GameSpot is not a democracy. :(Welkabonz
But it's not a fascist dictatorship either. ;) It's worth a shot to present ideas that could potentially be implemented if they are really for the greater good of the community.

Not to butt in or take sides, but why does it bother you so much? It's not a slur or anything, right? I mean, just stop for a second and think of how ridiculous it would be if he actually wrote out every time, "men oddly dancing." Again, I'm not trying to take sides. I don't see the point in using an all caps spelling or in being offended with it, it just seems like an odd argument to me.

What may be an annoyance to you could simply be a personal preference to the other person. I thinik all of the ideas are good.

I kinda wish the age limit for forums could be moved to 15+ or something, it would cut back on a lot of problems. Not saying all 7th grade posters (putting that in context here) are bad, but a great many of them cause problems. This may not be provable, but I am willing to bet 15+ year old posters typically have better grammar and are less inclined to troll. Oh, and I realize I don't have perfect grammar, don't go quoting me to fix things now.

Yeah. And the problem with GB was that there was too little moderation in the beginning. Trolls/Shock images drove a bunch of people away. It's sad, because it had potential.

The more specific trolling thing would be helpful since moderators have different definitions of it. I've seen at least one thread were two moderators both had different opinions on a thread.

Bring back the extra points by reporting someone.

mattykovax

I seriously disagree with that. There are enough abusive and "revenge" reporters as it is. If you got rewarded for reporting all the moderators time would be spent sifting through to find which reports are actually abusive. Plus gamespotters would trust each other less,and it could turn into a big brother/snitch culture. I mean,there is a reason they ended that in the first place. And who are you to know a policy that was discontinued years ago?

Probably someone who was surfing around Gamespot and discovered that!

And they didn't ended that at so many time, like 3 or 4 years ago!

You don't find that out by surfing.....

I agree with pretty much all of them, but #3 is the most important. I'd also like to see members who were "permabanned" given another chance after a certain length of time, depending on why they were banned of course!

Actually, I've never been asked to stop using "MODs" before. But if losing all respect from you is the only consequence I'll "suffer" from its use, then I can easily live with that :)

That is always going to be the case to some extent or another. I think there will always be calls for stuff like that to be further defined, I also don't think there is much of a solution other than try to detail every possible thing someone could do on a forum.
