What is your opinion about moderators. This is all in good fun and has a fairly balanced answer section.

I'm fine with them. As long as you stick to the ToU you don;t get moderated... That said, there have been times when mods unfamiliar with OT have come in and not quite understood how OT does things... but either way, the mods are on the whole good.

I like MAILER for his helpfulness and solidruss for his sense of humor. The rest of 'em I either don't know that well or don't like very much.

They lock all the spam and out-of-place threads, therefore they are good.

I like the moderators. They usually do a good job of enforcing the ToU, and even though I have felt like I've gotten a few wrongful moderations, I can understand how it would be offensive. Also, the current batch of mods actually have personalities, so that's always a plus.

The moderators do a good job at enforcing the ToU, I think the ToU is too strict in some regards, but I can't blame the moderators for that. If you're careful about what you post you shouldn't end up with many moderations.

sometimes they're ok but they lock too many topics before they've got started, i don't see the problem with a hot girl thread as long as they're propperly clothed it should be fine IMO. They should ban less and give warnings so people can avoid going too far and getting modded. They should be given the power to move threads too not just locking them when they're in the wrong board.

Like with most thing, it varies from moderator to moderator. Some of them are a little too strict, but I'm actually friends with a good portion of them.

Well, perhaps I could form an opinion about their personality if they posted more....only certain mods post often in threads and the RC, the others exist only for moderating.

I've just had a very bad experience with the mods. Two days ago I pm'd a guy after he was bashing a certain console for like the third time that day. I basically said to stop being a fanboy as nothing good comes out of it. Then earlier today I get a warning with a point loss for trolling and sole intent to offend another user. Are you kidding me?I'm the one trolling? Give me a break. I had an experience like this last year as well.

I'm not saying there all bad but there obviously are a few who are pretty damn stupid.

Edit: Someone just reset the poll and now it happens to be a good bit more towards the positive side. Hmm.

Unpaid moderators are almost always bad.

Certain sites have good ones, but the ones here are generally terrible. I guess it's the TOS's fault, but they definitely are what I'd consider to be idiots, for the most part.

I've been unfairly modded before. A moderator thought I was breaking a rule, but didn't look closely enough that I was dileberately NOT breaking a rule by changing something. For example a topic said don't do spoilers, but I wanted to still talk about it, so my topic clearly said no spoilers allowed. I was modded and banned for a day... I think this was a bad descision by a person who saw an opportunity to temp-ban someone.

Free Total Access. Even if you resign as a mod, you still get Total Access.

Example i tried to get the mods to mod this guy who posted what would you like to see in the next 5 years. He said for America and everyone in it to crumble i reported him they didn't do anything to him. I asked the mods and they said we didn't find that bad enough.
