GameFAQs Contests
So I appealed a moderation and the mod misread my post entirely.
Oh
gosh no, some young, impressionable user somewhere saw this topic and
it will alter his opinion of the modstaff forever NOOOOO --- Ryoko Hitler's ghost is my friend and he buys me ice cream and I ride on his back and fly through the sky - SantaRPG |
Oh
horrors, people might start talking about how horribly the mods have
screwed up- in the present and in the past. Maybe this is their
opportunity to be even more heavy handed and draconian. |
These users WILL go to Hellhole or other boards to bring up supposed cases of mod incompetence, some valid, some bogus. A random user has gone to hellhole. this is the total end of the world here. Seriously. --- "First thing that crosses my mind: I didn't get any GameFAQs Karma yesterday." Math Murderer after getting his appendix removed. |
From: Xboxlover2 | #191 Only because mods like you find it necessary to make it SO DAMN OBVIOUS how incompetent most mods are. If you guys just acted cool and did your job (like red13n) then maybe these users wouldn't have so much ammunition against you --- foolmo 'he says listen to my story this maybe are last chance.' - ertyu quoting Tidus |
... what is this. --- No problem! This is a cute and pop genocide of love! |
so... have any of the mods explained yet how this isn't a board invasion? Their silence on the issue speaks volumes. It speaks, and I hear it. Do you hear it too? "It's not board invasion because we said so" --- Ace Detective in Sir Chris' Police I assure you, my dear, all Ace Detectives are perfect gentlemen! |

Hey Red, just for ironys sake, can you go ahead and mod that zolomy post? I need another good lulz before bed. --- SmartMuffin - Because anything less would be uncivilized http://img.imgcake.com/barkley.jpg |
From: SmartMuffin | Posted: 12/29/2009 12:41:20 AM | #193 What the mods here seem to fail to grasp is that giving up after the first contest and complaining about it publicly is PART of the normal recourse of moderations. Anyone who has been here for more than a year knows that you're more likely to be struck by lightning than getting a moderation overturned past the first contest. Public venting at least makes you feel better as you can share a chuckle over "yeah the mods sure are unfair" stories with your friends. So, your position is that because he's a moderator, Red SHOULDN'T take the normal recourse. That he should work privately through "special channels" in order to receive special privileged. And you're worried that HE'S fueling the fires of mod-hate? Really? That is actually completely false. You are far more likely to have a moderation overturned at the lead level than you are after the first dispute, because the only person that can overturn a moderation on the original dispute is the moderator that moderated the message originally. They obviously thought it was a violation, seeing as they were the one that originally moderated it. Why do you continue to throw in your two cents about how these things work when you obviously have a very weak understanding of how things work. --- ~TRC (04:40:21 PM) brmownzj00rass: i hope you can smoke or drunk that ram |

oh
great guys, look what you've done with this topic. now young lopen will
be scarred forever at the revelation that his precious mod team is
nothing but a sham thanks --- Ryoko Hitler's ghost is my friend and he buys me ice cream and I ride on his back and fly through the sky - SantaRPG |
Oh
gosh no, some young, impressionable user somewhere saw this topic and
it will alter his opinion of the modstaff forever NOOOOO I already disliked most of them, so don't worry! It won't change my opinion of them a bit! |
Hellhole is technically a game board. So invasion doesn't exist there unlike here. (Or I'm talking out of my ass but I never really wanted to get caught up in this drama) --- Peaceful Rest Valley more like RUN THROUGH AS FAST AS POSSIBLE valley - ApplekidJosh ~ * ~ Rusty Mr. Mokka ~ * ~ |
That
is actually completely false. You are far more likely to have a
moderation overturned at the lead level than you are after the first
dispute, because the only person that can overturn a moderation on the
original dispute is the moderator that moderated the message originally. lol --- http://card.mygamercard.net/nxe/Albion+Hero.png http://i47.tinypic.com/2hcoz20.png |
I thought the mod who it was appealed to the first time was always a different mod? --- Why does Final Fantasy 7 win every year? Geesh you'd think people would give Zelda a try. Sir Chris |
I'm
not sure what amuses me more: The time between post 54/55 and the
userlevel of the person who essentially bumped it, or the fact that
"people will make a topic complaining about this on hellhole" is being
thrown around like that's actually a valid reason to not make this
topic. --- Watch me play games! http://www.livestream.com/dabu |
God
Smuffin, you should just quit while you're ahead because you haven't
read the TOS a million times and can't recite it backwards and in
spanish --- Ryoko Hitler's ghost is my friend and he buys me ice cream and I ride on his back and fly through the sky - SantaRPG |

They obviously thought it was a violation, seeing as they were the one that originally moderated it. I've seen more "oops, don't know why I modded this, guess I was tired or my finger slipped" overturns than "yeah that other mod is so wrong I'm gonna overturn him" overturns myself But I'm no 3000 karma account whose been KOSed multiple times so what do I know? --- SmartMuffin - Because anything less would be uncivilized http://img.imgcake.com/barkley.jpg |
God
damn I am at that impressionable state this could be dire. Seriously
though I read this topic and I still don't know what's going on. I'll just say DAM DA PAWRICE and be on my way. --- No problem! This is a cute and pop genocide of love! |
From: Ryokle | Posted: 12/29/2009 12:46:35 AM | #218 God Smuffin, you should just quit while you're ahead because you haven't read the TOS a million times and can't recite it backwards and in spanish He should quit because there is no point in trying to argue about something you know nothing about. --- ~TRC (04:40:21 PM) brmownzj00rass: i hope you can smoke or drunk that ram |
... what is this. An A+ Topic. |
I thought the mod who it was appealed to the first time was always a different mod? When a user contests a moderation, only a moderator other than the one who originally made the deletion can act on it. They either uphold or forward it to the original mod, who can uphold or overturn. If either of them uphold, and the user appeals, it goes to a lead mod, who upholds or overturns. If that gets upheld and the user appeals again, Allen makes the final call on upholding or overturning. --- (@::[]:::::[ ]::(GSB World Heavyweight Championship)::[ ]:::::[]::@) TOH/TOH '24 A vote for TOH is a vote for TOH! |
He should quit because there is no point in trying to argue about something you know nothing about. If I stopped posting every time someone on this board tried THIS on me, I'd never post at all! --- SmartMuffin - Because anything less would be uncivilized http://img.imgcake.com/barkley.jpg |

i can only imagine the terror and panic this topic is causing in the secret mod clubhouse --- Ryoko Move over Captain Morgan here comes Admiral Listerine - Lopen |
So
basically the guy who claims to know everything about this site was
completely and 100% wrong about how the moderation system works. I love it. --- The difference between arrogance and confidence is confidence acts rather than speaks. Sir Chris |
Missed a word there. On the first contest, only a moderator other than the original moderator can take the initial action on it. --- (@::[]:::::[ ]::(GSB World Heavyweight Championship)::[ ]:::::[]::@) TOH/TOH '24 A vote for TOH is a vote for TOH! |
From: Liam8 | #222 But it's ok to continue arguing even if you're an incompetent idiot? --- foolmo 'he says listen to my story this maybe are last chance.' - ertyu quoting Tidus |
Well I can see it's A+ by the way the post count is going up. Maybe I should reread it I think I missed the plot twist back on page 3. --- No problem! This is a cute and pop genocide of love! |
He should quit because there is no point in trying to argue about something you know nothing about. Good point. Liam, are you listening? This young man has some good advice for you. --- Ace Detective in Sir Chris' Police I assure you, my dear, all Ace Detectives are perfect gentlemen! |

Oh ****, that was Liam! --- Ace Detective in Sir Chris' Police I assure you, my dear, all Ace Detectives are perfect gentlemen! |
You obviously haven't seen many moderations. Funny, this is the EXACT OPPOSITE of what I usually get accused of? Can someone get Ulti in here to see this! --- SmartMuffin - Because anything less would be uncivilized http://img.imgcake.com/barkley.jpg |
hey lopen i'll just tell you what happens spoilers smuffin is lonely =( --- Ryoko Hitler's ghost is my friend and he buys me ice cream and I ride on his back and fly through the sky - SantaRPG |
i can only imagine the terror and panic this topic is causing in the secret mod clubhouse It really isnt an issue. Theres no reason for it to cause any drama. So there shouldnt be any terror or panic. --- "First thing that crosses my mind: I didn't get any GameFAQs Karma yesterday." Math Murderer after getting his appendix removed. |
the fact that someone is insinuating that someone who is widely known as a troll has a clean moderation slate is kind of funny --- Ryoko Move over Captain Morgan here comes Admiral Listerine - Lopen |
We need to settle this issue once and for all by having a robot deliver the final verdict. Someone activate TRE. --- SmartMuffin - Because anything less would be uncivilized http://img.imgcake.com/barkley.jpg |
You obviously haven't seen many moderations. You have no idea who you are arguing with. --- The batman villians all seem to be one big joke that batman refuses to laugh at - SantaRPG |
From: Ryokle | #238 Who said anything about Albion? <_< --- SmartMuffin - Because anything less would be uncivilized http://img.imgcake.com/barkley.jpg |
From: red13n | #237 there shouldn't but the 200+ posts and the amount of moderators coming here to jump down your throat says otherwise --- Ryoko Hitler's ghost is my friend and he buys me ice cream and I ride on his back and fly through the sky - SantaRPG |

Poor Liam8 is so out of arguments he has to repeat the good lines from us now. --- Board 8's resident badass since 2003. Sir Chris |
Smuffin is the rabble rouser and Rad Link is the rabble. Meanwhile invading moderation forces approach from the east to strike down this rebellion and ascend to the crown. I got it we're re-enacting the plot to The Two Towers or Final Fantasy Tactics. --- No problem! This is a cute and pop genocide of love! |
You
know, I think the invading moderators and liam think that this topic is
going to be a significant event in b8's history, but the truth is that Board 8 is so goddamn hardcore that this kind of awesome stuff happens all the time.
We already had FD's moderation debacle, this is nothing compared to
that. No one will even think of referencing this topic on the wiki, let
alone making an article for it. From: Rad Link 5 | #232 From: Rad Link 5 | #234 oh lawd this was good --- foolmo 'he says listen to my story this maybe are last chance.' - ertyu quoting Tidus |
From: Liam8 | #243 yet you're too scared to tell us who you are --- http://card.mygamercard.net/nxe/Albion+Hero.png http://i47.tinypic.com/2hcoz20.png |
You have no idea who you are arguing with. Damn right. Because one of us isn't awesome enough for these cool cats to know about. Try and guess which one! --- SmartMuffin - Because anything less would be uncivilized http://img.imgcake.com/barkley.jpg |
I'd
like to make a note here (huge success): Agree or disagree with their
actions, the moderators on the site are the people that are supposed to
be regulating the boards. Like one of the mods said before, there is a
strained relationship between the mods and the users. Regardless of
whether the moderation was fair, red making a topic here (btw your
continued posting added fuel to the fire) about it and making the mods
look bad (attempting to?) is a show of poor character, especially when
there IS a board for him to privately discuss matters with the other
mods. You think there would be enough respect among staff to privately
discuss the moderation than make a scene in front of a board. oh almost forgot http://i41.tinypic.com/16aa0co.jpg --- HAHAHAHAHA - Me |
The
problem is, you wouldn't be here and posting unless you thought he had
a point. The fact there's more and more of you just happening to show
up means you're having a pow wow on your super secret board. This board
was to discuss something that happened, the only people who've incited
anything are YOU. You could've aim'ed Red, you could've mailed him and
told him to post on the mod board. No, you specifically post HERE, just
like you're telling him not to. So yeah, you really have no one to
blame but yourselves because you want to spare your precious egos.
Spoilers, you can't make any points if you have none to begin with |
