I got warned for this? Really? It was no better or worse than what others posted in the thread. Trigger happy moderating at its finest.:

Same for this post, of which others said "no" in similar ways. Wow, perhaps the idea of 9 year old moderators wasn't such a far fetched one:

Wow they warn even such posts? I think mods just don't like you

OMG Mods need some explanation to do. Like I said, certain mod on this site can be biased when giving points

Don't want a WP, don't add a snide remark at the end of your post.

but that second warning is a bit , not really points worthy imo. I hope it was just a reminder.

The Britney and Xtina fans their thirsty to shade each other

Both of these aren't warning worthy. Is ATRL really getting that petty?

I know you guys want to promote peace but really?

That Gaga/Katy thread was shut down with the quickness

Why did I get a warning point for the Gaga thread?

^ I'm guessing pointless thread?

I know for a fact that all the mods accept and appreciate the constructive criticism that comes from the members so we can improve and be better (no one's perfect), and that is always welcomed. I have noticed, however, you keep complaining about every single little thing the mods do, even if at times it has nothing to do with you. No one is out to get anyone.

I can tell you for a fact that 99% of this perceived power-madness is entirely constructed within the collective consciousness of ATRLers, and has no actual support at all. It's very rare that I've seen a moderator get heated over something and, or for any other reason, distribute an unfair warning intentionally - no specific cases stand out to me at all. There's also a reason we have so many moderators - for example, it would be awfully hard for me to give someone a warning without good reason when they could easily show the entire team what happened and get me reprimanded or dropped from the team entirely. Why would we risk our positions and our ability to help the site? I'm a moderator because I want to contribute to the site when I can and make it operate more smoothly, not to boost my own already-inflated ego. The same applies to all the rest of the moderators (besides the inflated ego part, I'm the only one of us who's got that affliction). I understand that you sometimes see things as a member that appear to indicate wrongdoing on our part, but if you really think about it, there's no motivation behind being corrupt in the first place because it would just jeopardize our standing as moderators and members of ATRL.

That's textbook flamebait, so it got warned.

Is that explanation enough for you?

Yeah, I was actually talking to Ace about that. It surprised me to see some of the posts on here and the way members approached certain people. Sometimes it's not what you say - but how you say it.

But I guess err'one's different. At my job, we're constantly reminded about "Impact vs Intention" and how even though you might not have meant to say something a certain way, the impact could be hurtful to the other person.

iunno. maybe I haven't experienced what other members have... but what I can say is HI HI - life's good ily all ♥

countdown until the "what x character are you" threads take over the lounge and subsequently get closed.

All these which character are you threads

This is exactly what a corrupt mod would say





(TBH I think most of them are well intentioned. However, I DO think that certain mods let their friends off on marginal posts and pound people they do not like for the same behaviors. )

It's like some members don't know how to be original
