What do you guys think? I'm not trying to be offensive by making this thread. I'm just asking. Don't you think some mods are a little too strict? I mean, come on...some of the moderations i've gotten are ridiculous. I have a feeling I'll get modded again just because of this thread. But whatever. What can you do about? Nothing. Just like there are good cops and bad cops lol. There are good mods and bad mods :/

Yeah, they are. I have been moderated for some real crap before.

Everyone always says this. The mods have never been more, or less strict. They do their job to a good enough degree. It is fine.

I would say the same thing, I never heard any serious problems with them.

Yeah, I've got like 30 moderations to prove it. :lol:

They do a good enough job. I just don't agree with some of the members they ban.

Not all mods. I know for a fact that some are and I know a moderator that agrees with me.

You haven't been here for very long, so I don't know if you can judge whether we're strict or not. And all of your moderations are not ridiculous. They seem quite legit to me.

While I will admit that there are some moderations that make little to no sense, I don't think they're too strict.

I got 7 days suspended once cuz I mentionated the name of a certain section of a certain site....just because I mentionated! and it said I was "censor bypassing" even though I didnt got any message or problem telling me there was a censored word in my post when I posted...once again I checked the rules and there was nothing mentionating that no one should even name the site I named...

While it's not in the ToU (or anywhere on the site), you aren't allowed to mention that site at all. That rule is in place to safeguard the younger users from the bowels of the Internet.

I've been moderated a lot, but most of them were reasonable I'll admit. I got a temper. :oops: However, I have been moderated for silly stuff like laughing at a picture, but the mods knew I was right in that situation. That moderator should have had his moderation privileges taken though.

Most of the time the mods seem to be doing their job, but there are times where I believe they moderated something because it angered a personnel opinion of theirs (they're people after all).

Well, from the way it is phrased, I know what site you are talking about, and I know that we are not allowed to mention it by name. See, you can't censor simply a letter, as they would be silly, as a result, that becomes a rather slippery rule, but it is a rule on the site none the less.

I've been modded for things I don't agree with, I was given a week suspension for posting a piece of art, now, that seemed ridiculous to me, but obviously it is moderator discretion, and while mods can, and do, get it wrong from time to time, they are only human afterall, so I let it go, and that is what others should do. I mean, a week away from a videogame forum, is that really the end of the world?

the site must not be named!

but still...I got pissed off because there was no rule saying that I shouldn't mention the site...yet the mods assumed that I knew that and they suspended me! and its not hard to censor the name of the section, its a 3 characters long name....its not only a letter...it has 2 symbols

I dont think they're too strict. They're here to do their job and make Forums organized and civilized.

Rarely. Most of the time the mods get it right, and you have to learn from your mistakes.
