GameFAQs Contests
So I appealed a moderation and the mod misread my post entirely.
From: Ryokle | #094 Naw ***** I make this stuff up ON THE FLY! Some people were blessed with charisma. Others with athletic ability. Some with intelligence or a large amount of common sense. Me, I was given the ability to mock sluts. It is both a blessing and a curse! --- SmartMuffin - Because anything less would be uncivilized http://img.imgcake.com/barkley.jpg |
What have I ever done to you? :/ Well, you butted into his topic and made a remark about how wrong he is when you didn't even examine the situation. --- The batman villians all seem to be one big joke that batman refuses to laugh at - SantaRPG |
Rat
Guy made a very valid point that you ignored/overlooked - you know
Moderator Discussion exists, yet instead of discussing this matter
there, you chose to discuss it here. Why? It wouldn't be that big of an
issue if you were actually in the right, but you're not. --- Xboxlover2<51>(36)-New York City's #1 GameFAQs User It's like I'm having a barbecue in my pants! |
well i mean i guess you have to have at least some talent since you fail even in picking up girls off of okcupid --- Ryoko Move over Captain Morgan here comes Admiral Listerine - Lopen |
Oh geesh, the moderator standards have fallen if they actually think that is modworthy. So sad. --- Board 8's resident badass since 2003. Sir Chris |
From: Xboxlover2 | #103 Isn't taking his personal moderation to a secret board something of an abuse of power? The fact that he's a mod himself doesn't mean that he should receive preferential treatment in matters such as this. Or does it? Do tell. --- SmartMuffin - Because anything less would be uncivilized http://img.imgcake.com/barkley.jpg |
From: Ryokle | #104 Hey this one Filipino girl messaged me but she was fugly and didn't seem to actually know English. --- SmartMuffin - Because anything less would be uncivilized http://img.imgcake.com/barkley.jpg |
A
mod misread my appeal. If I wanted to make a big deal about it, I'd
have brought it up on mod discussion. Instead, I just wanted the users
here, many of whom I know pretty well, to get a kick out of it
happening to me(A "just my luck" thing). --- "First thing that crosses my mind: I didn't get any GameFAQs Karma yesterday." Math Murderer after getting his appendix removed. |

Seriously though, why am I "not worth your time"? What have I ever done to you? :/ I think that's kind of the point, bro. He has no idea who you are, so he doesn't want to waste time arguing with a guy he doesn't know and who has very likely come to this board to stick up for a moderator's decision to mod him. --- Ace Detective in Sir Chris' Police well i mean i guess you have to have at least some talent since you fail even in picking up girls off of okcupid - Ryoko |
BTW - thanks red for attracting all these mods to our board I expect to get like five NKLs in the next 24 hours or so even though my posting habits haven't changed whatsoever --- SmartMuffin - Because anything less would be uncivilized http://img.imgcake.com/barkley.jpg |

Isn't
taking his personal moderation to a secret board something of an abuse
of power? The fact that he's a mod himself doesn't mean that he should
receive preferential treatment in matters such as this. Or does it? Do
tell. It's not "preferential treatment", it's being responsible and not worsening the already poor user-moderation relationship by feeding the public with a "BULL**** MODERATION" topic. It's one thing if he had already disputed this up to SB, discussed it on MD, and was still dissatisfied with the repsonse, but he didn't even wait for the lead mod appeal before coming to straight to Board 8. That makes no sense at all. --- Xboxlover2<51>(36)-New York City's #1 GameFAQs User It's like I'm having a barbecue in my pants! |
*counts* ... That's three mods now. ... Urge to post Zolomy rising... --- Ace Detective in Sir Chris' Police I assure you, my dear, all Ace Detectives are perfect gentlemen! |
red13N
has been an amazing ambassador for the moderation team. To even have
the gall to say that anything he has ever done "worsens" the "already
poor user-moderation" relationship shows a grasp of what the users on
this site respect. I understand why you think that, because people in
an ivory tower very rarely understand what the common person thinks. --- Why does Final Fantasy 7 win every year? Geesh you'd think people would give Zelda a try. Sir Chris |

That makes no sense at all. Sure it does. He's doing what any normal user would do. Contest the moderation once, give up because he knows (probably better than we do) that contesting beyond that is largely pointless and more likely to get your contest privileges revoked than anything, then complain about it to his friends. Is it standard policy that if mods get modded, they bring it to their secret mod-board to be dealt with there rather than go through the same process everyone else does? --- SmartMuffin - Because anything less would be uncivilized http://img.imgcake.com/barkley.jpg |
From: Xboxlover2 | #115 I see, it's all about the moderators' image. Instead of moderators actually getting a clue in their damn heads so that users stop complaining about the stupid crap they pull, you want to just keep quiet about everything and hope people will forget it ever happened? WELL NOT ON BOARD 8! We give the TRUTH --- foolmo 'he says listen to my story this maybe are last chance.' - ertyu quoting Tidus |

I'm not even going to get into discussing the actual moderation here, but you realize that as a moderator, a topic like this is bound to be a "big deal", right? Look at how many posts this topic had before Rat Guy even posted here. Someone would've saw this and brought attention to it elsewhere; you know that's definitely true. You've been a mod long enough to know how things go with some of the users here. --- Xboxlover2<51>(36)-New York City's #1 GameFAQs User It's like I'm having a barbecue in my pants! |
I
am pretty sure red has complained about a moderation to us before. The
only thing different is that mods are flocking to this topic defending
themselves and their precious image. --- Board 8's resident badass since 2003. Sir Chris |
You've been a mod long enough to know how things go with some of the users here. WHAT DO YOU MEAN "YOU PEOPLE?" *grabs torch and pitchfork* --- SmartMuffin - Because anything less would be uncivilized http://img.imgcake.com/barkley.jpg |

I've
made topics like this before. People laugh at them, and then forget
about them. It didnt start exploding in posts until you, rat boy, and
liam started pulling it back from the dead. --- "First thing that crosses my mind: I didn't get any GameFAQs Karma yesterday." Math Murderer after getting his appendix removed. |

SEEMS TO ME like the other mods are challenging us to make this a 500 topic! --- SmartMuffin - Because anything less would be uncivilized http://img.imgcake.com/barkley.jpg |
I would be willing to bet that he does know who I am. you do seem like a very prominent kiss ass yeah he probably has noticed you before. --- The batman villians all seem to be one big joke that batman refuses to laugh at - SantaRPG |

enough to know how things go with some of the users here. And why is it a problem? Who cares if the topic is filled with people laughing at red for being modded and debating whether or not it was a legit moderation? There's no actual harm done. At least not until a link is posted and outsiders come in, provoking the board regulars. --- Ace Detective in Sir Chris' Police I assure you, my dear, all Ace Detectives are perfect gentlemen! |

Yeah, isn't there something in the rules about not starting board wars, moddies? |

Oh yes, considering I've only been KoSed multiple times and have been one of the most outspoken critics of the moderation system and the moderators for the past decade obviously means I am a "kiss ass". --- ~TRC (04:40:21 PM) brmownzj00rass: i hope you can smoke or drunk that ram |
From: SmartMuffin | #130 This topic will be closed long before then. --- ¿QUÉ STOMPER? {aB} |
INVASION INVASSSSSSIOOON --- Ryoko Move over Captain Morgan here comes Admiral Listerine - Lopen |
They did show up here as a group talking about a different board they frequent. I've seen plenty of accounts banned for that. --- SmartMuffin - Because anything less would be uncivilized http://img.imgcake.com/barkley.jpg |
I
don't know if you manage to be KoSed multiple times I've got to say
your opinion on the moderation system probably doesn't mean very much
to me. --- SK Mason? No way is a host that stupid. Sir Chris |
bahahahaha oh man toughguys on a message board when will it end --- Ryoko Move over Captain Morgan here comes Admiral Listerine - Lopen |
From: Rat Guy | #136 Mod POWAH abuse. |
From: Rat Guy | #136 Why will it be closed? --- "it is a friggen beam so it is moving light speed" - MWC on Samus beam weapons. Seriously. Sir Chris |
And why is it a problem? Obviously it hurts the spectacular image that the mods give off. But talking about how mods get special attention to their own modding in a special board is supposed to be completely acceptable. --- May George Feeny have mercy upon you and give you peace. http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v239/Cyclo/pokewhat.jpg This is my Chocomander, Rita |
because KoS is a good thing ain't it 'TRC' pathetic --- Faker? HA! You're not good enough to be m-I'LL MAKE YOU EAT THOSE WORDS, ~*~RUSTYMRMOKKA~*~! |
From: Rat Guy | #136 That'll improve the user/moderator relationship plenty. Unilaterally squashing dissent always wins over the hearts and minds! --- SmartMuffin - Because anything less would be uncivilized http://img.imgcake.com/barkley.jpg |
From: SmartMuffin | #138 They were talking about the Moderator Discussion board. Hmmm I think it counts. |
From: RustyMrMokka | Posted: 12/29/2009 12:28:30 AM | #144 because KoS is a good thing ain't it 'TRC' pathetic No, not in particular, but I would say that it would be enough proof to make some asinine claim that I am a "kiss ass" completely invalid. --- ~TRC (04:40:21 PM) brmownzj00rass: i hope you can smoke or drunk that ram |
Maybe you converted after being beaten into submission. --- Dragon Quest V is awesome Sir Chris |
I understand why you think that, because people in an ivory tower very rarely understand what the common person thinks. Stick to the topic instead of making petty assumptions. I am pretty sure red has complained about a moderation to us before. The only thing different is that mods are flocking to this topic defending themselves and their precious image. No, they are making a point in that this topic does unnecessary harm especially coming from a Moderator who is complaining about a completely fair moderation who is apparently in denial of what his post actually said. Claiming Moderators misread the appeal when there was nothing to overlook with his post. It's clear and cut why it was offensive. |
mmm yes I forgot that if a topic is closed it can never be spoken of again --- Ryoko http://img9.imageshack.us/img9/5073/ryom.png |
