Let's talk about fair and consistent moderation

[Fire Me Boy!]

I'd like to have an open and honest conversation. I hope you all know me well enough to know I don't mean any ill will. But I know this will likely not go over well.

We need documentation of offenses and punishments. It seems all too often that fairness and rationality is thrown out the window in favor of emotion. Without documenting offenses and punishment, there is no guideline for how to dole out action. It begs for mods to take whatever action they feel at the time, which could range from nothing to full bans. Further, it opens the door wide for mods to rationalize action or non-action. This can be a living document that grows or shrinks with time.

We have too many instances of punishment being made up on the spot. This is not OK. There is no fair and consistent moderation on this board.

The unfair treatment in this place is ridiculous. Deberg gets thumped for being annoying. Inmem gets put on Miserable User for being annoying. Dozens of other users remain untouched. Hootie gets chance after chance after chance. Joey: chance after chance after chance. Inmem: ****ed without warning. Deberg loses thread starting privileges without warning because other posters are bitching.

If we remove users that are annoying, many users would be gone. If we ban people because they post a lot, I can think of dozens of users that would have been gone years ago. Trolls? Please. Unpopular opinions? GTFO.

DC is a freakin' cesspool of rudeness, meanness, and bigotry, and not a single thing happens to anyone in there. Ever. No action taken. We all know that if DC didn't exist, all of that shit would spill into the main forum. It's just an example because it does occasionally spill over here.

Mods occasionally troll certain users (name changes, rep changes, etc.). I’m not trying to take the fun away; as long as it’s temporary, no big deal. It shouldn’t be long-term. Frazod, while questionably batchit crazy, is a good example of this.

I know of one mod who’s given up on trying to do any discipline due to other mods complaining, or members threatening to revolt. Moderation seems based on whichever mod gets annoyed first. This is not a good way to moderate a board.

Do we need some fresh blood? Maybe some mods that cannot control themselves need to fall on the sword and step down. Maybe a mod election would be good.

tl;dr: Moderation here is BS. Let’s find a way to make it right.

You're doing it wrong. The thread needs to devolve into:

"CP has devolved only because of the 49er fan, Alex ball-washers!"

It is the only way...

Someone else posted that earlier. I'll say the same thing to you I said to them:

And I don't see "annoying" in that list.

That wouldn't have lasted long. Unless you were going to give him grammar lessons, the situation would have raised suspicion fairly quickly. Then mods would check IP address, and see it belonged to Inmen.

Troof.

And ultimately I didn't trust him to not change my email address so I couldn't recover.

"Overloading the front page with threads" covers this situation.

Spin, spin, spin. I disagree, but even if I agreed, it's still not a permaban offense when you consider the other people you've given second, third, fourth, fifth, and sixth chances.

I think this place has great mods. Outside of one dickhead, I can't complain.

[Sofa King]

Fine, I'll do it.... jesus.... Make me a mod and I'll clean this shit up.

[Bufkin]

Also, I'm still not 100 percent sure what miserable user list is, but hot damn that's hilarious that InMen is on it. **** that guy. In his asshole.

I didn't receive any warning. It's all good, people take shit too serious on here. I still love you guys. No hard feelings. You're a good guy FMB.


I'll be lurking, but not posting as often as it's very difficult to do so. Hope this can be resolved soon.

Yes. Lurk all you want. Just quit derailing every ****ing thread that is started within 90 seconds. Lurk away, and don't post as often. I'll hold you to that.

You, my friend, seem like a guy who is always on the verge of a ban.

And because of that, you and Temper11 should be banned-ed. You guys make this place a much less titillating experience. I know I am much less tittilated in my CP experience because of you obsessive delusionoids.

Cite an instance.

There's probably been 4 instances where I've said "man, that guy needs to be banned". One of those times was your rant about RedNeckRaider and his daughter. Truly one of the most disturbing things I've read on here.

And yeah, there have been times where I should have been suspended. The whole butthole fingering post in the AP thread was one of those instances. That's a reason why I didn't post for a few months.
