Moderation Complaints Megathread v.2.0

[Potjeh]

Yeah, because taking personal propaganda to technical forums is exactly what loftar needs to quickly identify and fix bugs

[Cheena]

I see quite nothing wrong with the actual moderation tbh. But well, you can still open a new forum that you'll moderate by yourself if you're so disappointed in this one

[Potjeh]

But seriously, the only reason HoB has been allowed to spill into other forums so much is the lingering effect of Paradox admins. Ithink I'll be taking a much harsher stance against this in the future, especially when it comes to Help and Bugs.

I think it's acceptable that for us to have as much freedom as we have on this forum as posters, the Moderators should have a fair portion of freedom as well.

I'm sure that's reasonable as ahem certain members would have received a permaban from the official forums of most other games long before now.

[Rydersowl]

I still await an unbiased party. Potjeh does not fall into that category considering he was the subject of this argument just recently for his excess in punishment doling. The reality is that there's probably not going to be one on this thread so I will be following the original advice and bringing it to the higher power and make sure to use the original quote I highlighted earlier. I would encourage others that feel as strongly that that comment embodies everything wrong with some of our moderators to do the same.

[Jalpha]

Can we also spam the Devs inbox to let them know we support the mods decisions? I'm sure they don't have better things to do...

If you guys want the WoW forums, go and post there.

Doesn't premeditated trolling carry a higher sentence than bink's usual 0 thought trolling posts? I feel chief's ban should be extended for this reason.

Well, premeditated trolling is half the forum.

Honestly, There's no excuse for trolling the bug reports, period. I was looking for information on a pretty serious bug, and Chief's comments were a troll attempt for no reason. I heard later that after he heard that Darwoth had actually performed the murder action bug kill on one of Binks's alts that Chief tested and actually replicated it then reported it to jorb, replicated it for jorb and somehow they got it Loftar. This was all for the good of the game. That being said, he shouldn't have then trolled me on my bug report so that both Kand and I reported him. What he should have written if he wanted to be a leader of this game and a master-mason for the development of this game is:

"I heard that Darwoth had actually performed the murder action bug kill on one of Binks's alts. I tested and replicated it then reported it and replicated for jorb. Loftar's working on it and it should be done soon."

My respect for him would have gone up 10 fold if he'd written that instead of his usual lame troll attempts on me. Maybe he doesn't want my respect but I would have thought of him more like a mason and top player working for the good of the game he loves.

As for the mods, they've been a lot better this fall but the whole GH history gets in the way sooo much. Old fights have to have an end don't they guys. I think 3 weeks is too much for calling someone a '*****'. Although it's up to Sabinati and not me, as one of the one's who reported Chief I'd say a week for Chief and 1 day for Binks would have been fair. I understand the history and understand that you're trying to get them and the forum under control (especially since we've grown a little bit this month with new players).

I'd at least ask Sabinati, with all due respect to have the other mods vote on his ban lengths and allow Binks and Chief to promise to never do what they did again to lessen their bans. Have them write it up in a PM and if they do it again, show it to them and throw the ban hammer harder. Mod mercy is a virtue also and it keeps the peace better.

Personally, If I was a mod, I'd probably never post on the HoB or CoaH forums again. Unless it was official.

[DarkNacht]

The bans on the Chief and Binks are appropriate, but Sabinati behavior is not, especially his reluctance to clarify when he is acting as a mod or just a member of the forums. Sabinati should not be a mod.

I think Sabinati should be a mod, but he just needs to tone it down a bit and not act like this is the HnH forum.

This forum is a knife fight, up close and personal with too many cuts that won't heal. HnH is like a machine gun, shots all over, loud and hard to make out over the clatter.
