What am I to think here?

[TeckXKnight]

Does he really have a mod buddy that will do what he wants?

Whose policing the mods?

Honestly I don't really care; but it's the hubris here is beyond BS. I've never given an iota of effort to flagging down Jorb on IRC or other... but this kind of crap tempts me. His mod buddy might be able to delete my posts... but can he delete the PMs I've received as well?

I have to wonder what his response would be?

All or nothing I suspect.

1) Would it matter if he had a friend on the moderation team? All actions commit by moderators are logged and questionable activity can be traced and reversed. If your posts mysteriously disappeared you could report it to any/every mod or the devs and that'd immediately weed out any corruption.

2) No one is currently policing mods. The devs are giving some degree of oversight but the core team is pretty stable. If you have complaints direct them towards the Devs.

3) As far as I know no one on this board has access to your private messages but you and whoever you're sending them to. Admins might have super secret powers that let them but I somewhat doubt this. It's worth noting that if someone deletes a message they've sent you before you can open it, it will show up in your inbox as 'deleted' or something along those lines. This is an automated function of the forums and not the actions of a mod or dev.

Yeah, you care. All I have to do is talk to my mod buddy to have any of your posts deleted. You can't do ****. Tribe wins. Kill yourself so I can be famous.

Biddas, doing something requiring any semblance of intelligence or thought besides uttering sentences like "YOU ARE A **** GO BOSTON OUTSIDE I KILL YOU **** *****"? Biddas, having flawless english? Biddas, not incoherently rambling through ad hominems and strawman arguments?

No, it's not Biddas. It's Honey Badger, one of the few Tribe guys who actually deserve respect.

Good information. Thanks for your time posting.

You issue warnings and bans pretty much whenever you feel like it. Because you're in a bad mood or something? Because you don't like the person and just felt like punishing them? No one knows. It fairly often doesn't seem to have anything to do with rules being broken. Kinda like stomping on an anthill.

If I recall correctly though, many who deserved bans, in my opinion and in the opinion of the moderators had their decisions reversed by the very person who chose them in the first place. If that's not a reason to not give a ****, I don't know what is.
