Whining About How Sosuave Mods Have Ruined Your Life Goes Here

Ugh. And I guess now we have TWO mods on the "demod NOW" list.

I felt left out before.

Ah well, any publicity is better than no publicity.

By the way, backseat moderating isn't a great endowment to getting a spot here. Do YOUR fycking job and just post GOOD stuff, not stuff that compares to what ends up in the toilet after fajita night.

Why the hell should we put our time and effort to post good stuff when you and Gio can't do the same AS MODERATORS, where you have an obligation to set an example? Practice what you preach.

I can't believe they banned crowes. Although a bit rough around the edges...crowes actually CONTRIBUTED to the discussions and he rarely bothered with flame wars. If he was pissed enough at Gio to start those threads, there was a reason for it.

Allen needs to do some serious house cleaning with the moderators. Diablo and Paradox seem to be the only ones who actually take the position seriously and give a damn about the site. It shows in how they moderate. I guess there could be others who don't come around very much anymore, but I see diablo and paradox doing most of the work and I happen to think it's really sh*tty that the lazier moderators have no respect for the fact that they make more work for the ones who actually DO the job they volunteered to do.

What a shame...

Allen is the only one with the power to ban people. Obviously the owner of the site is just as incompetent as his moderators are.

VM, the point you are missing is that you CAN'T expect the members to post quality stuff if the goddamned moderators behave like 3rd graders, which is exactly what Gio does. And you are making excuses for him and then biotching at everyone else for behaving just like him. It is your responsibility as a moderator to be IMPARTIAL and FAIR and RESPONSIBLE. Stop making excuses for Gio when it's so obvious that his behavior sucks.

Allen doesn't spend much time reading stuff. Unfortunately, Gio was running to the moderator forum posting about how crowes insulted him. However, you can bet your sweet ass that Gio didn't include the part about HIM being an ass and instigator. Allen has no idea what Gio does and until one of the other mods clues him in he won't know.

Screw that. The owner is going to find himself without any DAMN HOUSEGUESTS if him and his cabinet keep up with their incompetence.

And you're still here, as are 17k other members...

If you are serious, vote with your feet and leave, or set up your own website.

 

[Wyldfire]

I'm going to work...

diablo or paradox...please let Allen know that Gio was instigating Crowes and he didn't deserve to be banned. I've NEVER seen crowes have problems with ANYONE the entire time I've been a member here. He wouldn't go off on Gio if Gio hadn't of started something, which he frequently does.

The last time I PMed him (as did many other members) about Gio, he did nothing. I guess it's time to start bombing his message box...

Screw off. I'm going to stay here and put a roadblock in the path of all of the nazi bastards as long as they are still in charge.

The first time I've ever 100% fully agreed with Wyldfire. Banning Crowes was ridiculous. Which moron made that call?

Tsk Tsk Tsk .

Crowes was here back when I first joined. We don't always agree, but he's a valuable member and he and I respect each other a lot. Gio should be banned before Crowes. I'm really pissed over this.

Same. This board is not going to last if the nazi bastards are allowed to stay in charge.

You'd do a much better job than the idiots in charge right now. Hell, I'd be in favor of you taking over the admin spot, too. This place would go back to the glory days.

 

[MetalFortress]

I swear, this place is turning into the internet equivalent of New Orleans. Except that the modship is even more incompetent than FEMA.

WTF!! You got to be kidding me.

well, since this thread is now completely off topic anyway, maybe someone can explain what crowes did to get banned?

 

[MetalFortress]

Posted a thread to Gio. When it got moved to the Mod board (for review I guess) he posted a second one. Gio stealth edited it to make him look gay, and then locked the thread. Shortly thereafter, he was banned.

From what I remember as a moderator, it won't let you "stealth edit" a thread now. On the newer versions, you can. On this version, it'll always show "Thread Edited by:"

Apparently in the thread that crowes22 made he says:

Originally posted by crowes22
You want to meet?

directed at Gio...and Gio replied with:

Originally posted by Giovanni Casanova
No, I will not date you. Quit asking.

I doubt crowes22 actually wrote that he wants to meet Gio...and besides, a thread asking to 'meet Gio' wouldn't warrant a ban...so, I think that's what Metal meant by "stealth edit"

 

[MetalFortress]

Yep. Stealth edits should still be possible within the first minute or two of a post being made. In fact, I'll test it on myself...

ED1: Stealth Edit... did it work?

ED2: Yep. Stealth editing can still be done.
