Nb Mods...Out of controll?

[Smd]

Title says it all...

As of lately, Ive seen countless.

Trolls makeing threads about other members

Or other things.

But dont get banned or removed.

But then like last night, i saw a couple of members.

Banned for basically saying that one of them[mods] needs to be fired or replaced.

[he wasnt talking, bad or insulting anyone]

just speaking his mind, w/o being rude or any of that...

Thoughts?



I really think that we as a NB community, should demand for an small election...

On who we think should be suitable for the running of this site.

Because in all honesty, some of the mods have taken there power to far.


So im calling for all NB to make a petiton or something to that effect, to change the current staff of mods.

[not insulting, not bashing and members or etc]
[if im banned then you all know why...]

And if im banned over this thread.
Then i shall never return to this site again.

they ban the wrong people....

but a petition wont do anything...

According to where this was posted and the guidelines for general discussion I believe it fits perfectly as this is a serious matter. I think it would be wise to vote for mods however not for us electing them. Voting in terms of whether or not they're doing a good job. If the community has the ability to fire and hire a mod that wouldn't end well at all but there's no harm in the community reviewing moderators.

I think the way to solve this issue is to let the community do a monthly review of moderators. It can be done based on the polling system in one thread so it does not clutter the server. Therefore moderators are reviewed effectively without the abuse of power from the community. However the reviewers must provide reason and proof as to why they voted to keep that moderator and vice versa.

You can insult/do anything you like to others members, Most mods won't care.

But asoon as you say something about a Mod, They bring the infraction/Ban hammer down on you.

I've called Nb members every name under the sun since i've joined, Didn't get a single infraction or warning, Yet i got one for saying "some Mods are assholes some arn't.

God forbid we say anything about the all powerful mobs.

This is nothing new, it happens everyday, enjoy your ban. U_U

you can't make a thread like this!
read the rules:


"Ban-Threads: Creating threads asking why a member is banned is not allowed, even if it is about yourself. When a ban is given a PM is also sent automatically to the member who committed the offense where the reason for the ban is explained. NB's staff have no obligation whatsoever to explain to any other member the reason of the ban and it is our wish that the reason would remain private anyway. However, if you think you have been unjustifiably banned you can contact one of the administrators; this you can do only after you have read our Global Rules and you are absolutely sure you haven't broken any of them."

This is a serious matter....

Alot of my friends were daily users of this site.

Didnt cause much trouble, but as soon as they called out certain mods.

They were Banned for months, which turned into peremently...

There should just be some type of way our voice can be heard.

from what ive red so far.

Its clear that there is a problem, that we all want fixed

The admins are the ones who choose the mods and global mods. I'm sure they know what they are doing if they choose someone.
It's not like they randomnly choose someone as a mod. There is a list of qualifications one has to meet before they are even selected as a choice.

Making a voting contest out of it would be ridiculous - it would probably turn into a popularity contest then.

Being a mod is not easy. It's more than just banning and infracting people. If you see a troll thread, report it and leave it alone, the mods will deal with it.
You can help the mods a lot with just reporting the threads that are against the rules and don't post on it.

Also threads about the mods are not allowed, like threads about members are not allowed.

When you signed up for this base, you agreed to follow the rules. The mods are the ones who make sure the rules are followed.

In fact if you go against the mods, you actually go against the admins of the site, considering they are the ones who choose the mods

This isn't specifically about people getting banned, he merely used it as an example. Its a thread about changing the current staff which to my knowledge is not illegal on this site.

making a thread about it wint stop it it it will add to the problem

Yes, let's vote for a whole new team of mods. It's not like they are the only ones who know how the site,works. You do realize that if we get rid of the current mods and a problem arises in the site, the new ones won't be able to fix it?


I suggest just leaving the mods be. Leave them alone and let them do their jobs. If you don't agree with a mod does, just keep it to yourself. You aren't the one getting banned so don't worry about it.

i just want to fix the problem.

according to a couple of my friends

Who were once well known seasoned members of this site.

There is always One Mod who is doing the Pm,Infracting,Banning the most

 

[Trollo Lucilfer]

the mods are ruling this base, not MOBS! xd

If the community acknowledges a problem, it is plausible that something may be done about it.

 

[From the Dark Spire]

I agree, I get banned all the time, for insignificant things as it is.

I think new ones would suit the site better, and not just those random, die hard rule loving mods, but one of US, or few of US, should be mods.

Im not saying all of them... just like.

We should have a vote on which ones are the most friendly/ effective.

And have a vote on which one is less friendly/effective.

Once again im not saying that all of them should be replaced, just one or two that everyone seems to have a problem with

Also guys, Mods don't just run around banning people. Most of the Mods areworking on updates for the site for your, the ungrateful community's, pleasure. Not only that, but they are constantly checking on the site for problems or errors. Mods aren't machines, they're busy people, humans.

This is very true. They do have lives along with fixing the base, updating the network, creating and approving bio's ect.
