GameFAQs Contests

So I appealed a moderation and the mod misread my post entirely.

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!

Well, you butted into his topic and made a remark about how wrong he is when you didn't even examine the situation.

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.

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.

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).

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.

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.

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?

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!

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.

At least not until a link is posted and outsiders come in, provoking the board regulars.

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.
