Sarcastic responses are the main culprit for me, rather than actually answering it's more like, "Do I need to answer this :rolleyes: ?"

I've never been talked to condescendingly by any of them, but I've seen it happen a lot to other people who didn't deserve it. It always looks like a purposeful attempt at aggravating them, but of course mods=angels so it isn't

For real. I once saw a member ask a mod why a certain member was banned. From what I remember, Rei or Lawliet posted that instead of making a thread about why a member is banned, ask them through VM or PM. So this is what this guy does, asks a mod through VM. Do you know what the mod replied? "Because they broke the rules". I don't know if they can release such information, but I was under the impression that they could given Rei's post.

Okay. I will answer You Just this Once. I'm happy you found some Humor on what I posted.



They already did. That's why VERSUVIO, REI, and ZISE gave them this Title and responsibility. I Dont want to question their Intellectual Capacity and Judgement over this matter, They Know what their Doing.



Because They like to Break the Rules.
And It's their Ego that cannot accept The Fact that they commit a Mistake.
And It's their Pride that took over when instead of Communicating with that Certain Mods,
Will Make a thread Ranting having an Infraction or Being Banned.

They were not Bad. They were just Misunderstood Just Like any other Normal Members.
My Personal Opinion too.


So, there. Have A Nice Weekend To You.


Jesus **** this is dumb.

First, they earned the respect (Most of the time they didn't, rather just through applying for the spot) of the ADMINS, not the USERS. You say we should treat them with respect because others do? That's not how respect works.

They also do not automatically know what they're doing just because they're mods, these ideas are some of the shittest I've seen

I've seen mods give out that info before, so I'm relatively sure they are

Let's not start raging please! This thread is the first I've seen in awhile where we can all talk and get along. As for Cpt Long.. Stop cussing. Don't care if it's censored, it's rude and unneeded. I'm trying to keep this post alive so unless you actually have something pleasant to say stop posting ^^.

I'm pretty sure they're allowed to, depending on the reason of the ban, of course.

@Cpt. You speak of moderators as if they all have a superiority complex, which I have yet to see. Yes there are better ways that some situations can be handled, but they are usually spread quite thin and as such quite busy when they're on. That's the reason I don't get angry or upset when I get an answer that is short or one that doesn't exactly answer my question. Most if the time when I see the sort of behavior you're talking about from the moderators, the bit about catering to the moderator's expletive, is when people don't confront the moderator respectfully. I can't say it enough, respect is key.
I agree with your last point to an extent. I guess I have more respect for them than most.

The Moderation team I have spoken to all have a superiority complex / mentality of we have won the lottery to be able to visit this site. You keep saying "they're too busy to handle it properly", in short, and this has got to be the worst response I could think of. If a moderator is not active enough to do their job to an acceptable level, they shouldn't have that position.

Yes yes, you keep saying "respect is key", and you fail to realize that respect has to work both ways, and mods do not respect users at all. (Mentality I mentioned before, sarcasm, condescension, etc) And so cannot ever be respected by those people. They are then the people who cause problems, and then get told they should of just "respected the mods"

The mods are spread very thin okay. so be greatful for what they can and have done for you,everyone and the site in whole.Iknow around about 7 mods who are DOOUBLING up on areas. All of which are parts of the rp system and parts in the forum as general. Ill use scorps and caliburn as a instant. they both have large rp sections to take care of aswell as 1 or more sections outside of the rp. so be greatfull. that theyre doubling up like this.The base doesnt need more mods. it needs less people who break the rules.and more to show respect.

It seems as though you've had quite the bad experience her on the base huh? I'm sure that they're all active enough, but the moderator to member ratio is insane. It's impossible to think that they have the time to answer every question we have. So no, it wasn't the worst response, but the best.
I can understand where you're coming from about respect. But I like to think they respect at least some of us. So maybe you or whomever you speak of haven't earned they're respect, as they haven't earned yours or whomever.

You're going to get this thread shut down with the language you're using. I'll ask you once more to be polite in talking with the other members of this discussion.

Keep to the topic in a polite manner. Please ^^.

You keep talking about respect and you still don't get it.

You tell us to respect the mods because they are mods - that doesn't work
You tell us to respect the mods because they "do a good job" - they don't
You tell us to respect the mods because they must spend a lot of time helping members - They chose to do it knowing what it entailed, and most of them don't help

They don't get respect until they've earned it, and apparently for most members, most mods never do.

Of course they respect some people, they are human, it's just they do not respect most users is the problem.


Saying it again, most of the moderation (especially admins) have the mentality of "We are privileged to be allowed on this site", which is honestly hilarious. We are privileged to post on the site that we make worth while, ironic isn't it?

Crow isn't saying to respect them just because they're mods. I'm sure he doesn't care whether or not you respect them.

Your horrible attitude towards respecting them, however, is the problem you need to solve yourself.

Some mods do do a great job! Not all but some.

They are stretched thin but your inconsiderate attitude is getting in the way.

My horrible attitude is a result of hearing constant bull shit from mods and admins alike, I don't need to solve it since I don't think most of them deserve a compliment

Some.

They are stretched thin, but that isn't an excuse for the way they reply most of the time. My attitude isn't getting in the way, since a mod hasn't replied to me at all.

Funny. Every mod I've ever contacted has gotten back to me within 10 minutes.

Why?

I like to think its because I'm polite and have no I'll will towards them unless they give me a reason.

I agree, it is a little ironic. You seem to be very passionate about this topic, has a moderator or admin disrespected you personally, or is it just from what you've seen? I know that respect is earned. And if they haven't earned your respect that's on them. I know respect is a two way street as well, but you see, if you've done nothing to earn their respect then why should they respect you?

And again I say this, I don't blame them for not being able to help as soon as they can. Because they are always stretches quite thin. It seems that we've had very different experiences on base.

Every mod has replied to me almost instantly too, that doesn't mean they're not stretched. If that's the only thing you can think to argue over, please stop replying, since you originally brought up the point they were stretched thin.

I said "way they reply", not "the time it takes them too reply" and the "mod never replied to me at all" was concerning this thread, since you said my attitude was stretching them thin

Personally, and many times but the most prominent being Zise, and the things he said over PM to me.

I didn't say (or mean) that they automatically have to respect the users a person, but merely reply to them respectfully, two different things. Mods have a job, and apparently are meant to be professionals. You think Mods should reply to users the way some users reply to mods? Then why are they mods in the first place, if they can't reply impartially to someone to help them?

Personally, the way the mods come off is condescending and pompous. From what I've seen at least.

cpt long your attitude towards the mods is unacceptable. and the use of language even more. THAT is the reason why they do not respond to you.All you do is complain. yeh people complain but they dont drag it out. and actually give reasons.As to why the mods should answer back or reply.It helps being polite and kind to others. what you are doing now is no way to treat others on the base.You dont get a reply get over it.Wait and ask later in a few days.

Respect mods-Works if your polite
Respect mods because they do a good job-They do do a good job.Simply look around at how organised the base is.Theyre dealling with trolls non stop dont insult them .
Respect mods cause they help members-They do help members those who are polite,kind and helpfull.

so leave the thread. if you cannot bear to be ignored because of your attitude towards them.

Can you even read? I just said that when I typed out, "They didn't reply to me" I was only concerning this thread, and they haven't replied since they don't need to, I haven't asked a question or no one needs help and they don't feel the need.

You need to start reading, and learn how to type / spell

Simply put.. You're being rude. You haven't posted one thing that was constructive to this thread. All you've done is bash the mods.

If you've have bad experiences here, I'm sorry.

I'm not at all trying to force you to respect the mods. But the way you've talked to other members show you don't respect them (them being the members).

Before you get mad at a mod for not respecting you, try gaining respect from your fellow members.

Then again, you don't have to if you don't want too.
