I actually love the moderating. At times, I think the warnings are a little lenient, but it's fair for the most part.

You can't just expect mods to go through every single thread and make sure nobody is doing nothing bad.

What kinda unreasonable expectation?

[Starships]

SOME moderators are TERRIBLE. They're so ******* biased and just completely UNJUST.

Worst part? They take pride in that

They think it's funny when someone is fuming because they're being treated unfairly.


Some moderators are beyond great. But some others, ESPECIALLY old moderators are so damn irritating, they think just because they're on this site for a while, they own us and whatever they want goes and NOT what's actually right.

There are 14 mods on this website. It is extremely doable.

He misused his abilities to merge, move, and delete threads/posts. There was a lot of cleanup that TC and staff had to go back and fix because of Shane. Most chalk it up to his youth for the way he handled his position.

I know that this would be going just a little off topic, but do we now have more restrictions in place due to that event? Because I feel like we should. The most I've personally ever wanted to experiment is banning myself from my notepad thing on my profile to see what happens, but when hiring new mods you have to be careful about people who let power get to them after Shane.

I think I accidentally banned myself from Notepad and I got an error message.

There used to be moderator tiers. Tier 1, 2, and 3 all had different levels of authority. I don't think 3 even has access to the Control Panel and some other stuff.

But now we're all with parity.

My only issue is with mods ignoring requests in ATRL HQ. I literally posted the same thing in HQ 4 times and each time it was ignored (If a mod wouldn't mind doing it now I'd be very grateful)

I think the amount of points per warn needs to be explained.
Sometimes I've gotten 3 points for flamebait and others I get 1 point. There needs to be a strict 1 POINT - FLAMEBAIT, 3 POINTS - TROLLING etc rule POSTED

also the date on when a point expires. I got warned in September and I still have 2 points that don't expire until the end of this year...
There needs to be specific times lined out because I feel like it's all up to the mod. If they feel like doing 3 months, they'll do it.

[Hooligan]

No complaints.

[TheOnlyOne]

I think the entire Flamebait thing is absolutely ridiculous. As long as it's not outright offensive, I see no reason why any subtle shade should be warned. I don't understand why ATRL feels the need to be the moral police and punish people for saying something that's usually both true and funny. 99% of these pop stars we talk about are absolutely ridiculous in one way or another and it's boring as hell if we can't talk about things like Rihanna's forehead being the size of a $5 footlong.

I know it's important to have some rules in place, but the mods are on some FCC status trying to warn over small ass comments. I'm pretty sure a huge majority of the posts that are warned here are followed by at least 10 posts going or We live for that.

[Pixel]

Hmm some of the mods should lay off the warning point button... I didn't even get my first wp free as stated in the rules when I joined.

Oh, that's interesting. I'd seen systems like that on other forums I used to frequent.

I kind of see where the admins are coming from with giving all mods equal power, though. It helps to balance things just in case of emergencies.

Let me stop talking so we can get back to the members inquiring about 2013 moderation, though.

You got a File Share Request warning in September. The duration for that is harsher to be in-line with cracking down on that issue.

[iHype.]

Y'all never answered this tho everytime someone asks.

Do y'all get paid, or any type of reward?

Yes, sir.


A lot actually.

But my most recent one:

I didn't even get a warning point when I made that thread, which is awesome, I think the Mods felt guilty or something.

[brandensuxx]

Sometimes it's too strict and biased towards Gaga

We get free and unlimited ATRL+ but no monetary compensation or any other bonuses whatsoever.
