Zone1 The Announcements Forum is not Your Personal Whine Fest Regarding Moderator Actions

[Dont Taz Me Bro]

I'm not sure what it is about the past month, but there have been repeated threads by members complaining about moderator actions taken towards their posts or threads they have created in the Announcements and Feedback forum. That is NOT the purpose of this forum. No change has been made to the forum rules. If you have a problem with actions taken against a post or thread you have written then take it up with us in PM. If you don't know who took the action you can PM any one of us.

Is it the forum for the mods personal whine fest?

 

[ozro]

I object. Those posts provided much needed amusement to me.

 

[SassyIrishLass]

Moderate better... problem solved. You've been at it for like 14 years... still can't grasp it

That and change the sub forum to just announcements and not feedback.

then remove feedback as part of the forum description as that is FEEDBACK or are you 5 and dont know what that word means?

Yep. Allowing several notorious trolls to thread derail and troll threads at wlll, and ruin threads on page 1 is a top priority of good moderation.

[Dogmaphobe]

You have set up a closed loop to protect yourselves from having any responsibility for your actions

Posts are censored or moved at will, and the people who are being targeted are expected to take it up with the mods who did the targeting.

It's like demanding the chickens go to the foxes regarding the conditions inside the chicken coop.

How Ironic.

They don't even try to hide the political bias involved, either.

Double down Ironic con-sidering all the history.

 

[petro]

Lighten up.
Those meltdowns in this section are priceless in their comedic value.
Perhaps rename the pages

This thread is way overdue! Too many whinefest OPs in Announcements & Feedback.

However, maybe there should be a dedicated thread for such!

 

[jwoodie]

Moderators should be impartial. Most are not.

The process is opaque.
Threads are moved with little or no explanation beyond what seems to be moderators unwillingness to moderate.
Threads move and messages from MODS bragging about it (yes moo boy I mean you)
People banned with no explanation
People banned because some MODS can't use a dictionary...

One can understand the MODS desire to keep their ...issues... under the sheets but by doing so you create the problem this OP wants to solve.

On the whole, I like this forum, but it could be much, much, much better, if it was moderated in a manner that had much more transparency and accountability.

That the moderators take such great offense at any public discussion of their actions is a major symptom of deeper problems. What do they think they need to hide, and why?

Damn, it's not often a mod earns a tissue gif.

Call me crazy but locking threads that have gone on two pages or better with no issues is just being obstinate.
