TBH the Gaga one was posted first. Copycat threads for other artists are closed all the time when it is bandwagoning

that is true

[KitKat]

It's already been explained why all the threads were handled as they were and it's been addressed by people other than Retro. There's no reason to continue this other than for attention or some strange argument. Let's all get back to business.

Looking at a thread from early this month and so many people on the first page alone omg How do some of these members get punched out so easily?

It's not a copycat thread in a form of mockery or bandwagoning. I'm just trying to figure out a legitimate way to post information that has been closed in 3 other previous threads by fans.

Anyway, the greater point (wink wink ) is understood.

To be a good Mod, it's important to be objective. Bye!

Everything is flamebait/"disruptive"

[C/H/A/N/E/L]

The 'ARTPOP' one should be closed, too. All of them should. That's all.

Appealing for two WP reversals.

Basically someone has been reporting almost everyone's posts in the Kesha base (for no apparent reason).

First post:
http://atrl.net/?p=20325399

This is not flamebait. It's the Kesha base, I'm pretty sure no one's going to take much legitimate offence to a Carly Rae flop joke when Kesha's not exactly in the best position either. And it was obviously a joke, since the page over Doogle and I were discussing how good Carly's album actually is.

Also this one,
http://atrl.net/?p=20325940

Not sure which part was being reported as both are equally non-Flamebait. If it was the first part, that's just silly. Since when is calling a song tacky WP-worthy? I didn't see the WPs flying when everyone was calling the Dark Horse MV tacky or Roar a tacky rip off of Brave?

If it's the second part then how is jokingly calling someone extra for posting in an array of colors tacky? It is literally extra work than everyone else. Like it's not even a lie.

A definition of flamebait I found from a simple Google search:


Nothing of what I posted falls under this. I was not intending to provoke anyone, and I wasn't fishing for an arguement. Everyone involved knew that it was all in fun. I don't see why some non-involved, potentially non-English (well) speaker who may not understand these innocent social banters should achieve success in seeing their reports fulfilled. In fact, I think that fits the description of Flamebait that I posted a lot better, reporting just for the satisfaction of seeing them warned, and wanting a reaction from it such as this one. Only instead of posting it in the Base, I'm posting it here.

I think that for the most part the Mods do a good job of keeping the things on the site fair, but I think that this is just a little too far, and is more appealing to the trigger-happy reporter than actually being fair to the members on the site. I also know someone else who was warned and only received Reminders. I'm not sure why they weren't warned and I was when we were saying literally the same things.

Reposting this. It's an injustice, tbh. Any help would be greatly appreciated.

A WP for this? http://atrl.net/forums/showthread.ph...3#post20335953
REALLY??????

Motha****ing off topic? The post was about Avril! I ain't gonna use google search to find her base thread. So stuuuuuuuuuuuuupid rules!

Motha****ing everyone is off topic in single and album threads. Who even decided to be pressed and report it?
If I were to report all off topic posts that happens everyday in Music News, I would report like 73 times daily

****ERY! Shame on yall mods.

Can I get this blog deleted? I feel personally offended by its entire nature and existence, and I want Jonny warned for it as well.

[HighwayHooker]

can you request a temporary ban from SYG?
i'm going to try and be nicer towards other artists and it's kind of impossible with all those queens that live out their lives in there?
if yes, can I get 4 weeks?

Since I got a very unfair and UNjust WP for posting an "abrasive" blog this needs to be warned. I didn't even report it but it's obviously abrasive

My blog was about katy fans in general not specifically calling anyone out. And nowhere in the blog section does it say you can't be even the slightest bit abrasive. I am SO salty right now.

i only got a reminder

But im talking about your posts in general and that Birthday thread you made...like I said...you remind me of Hot Shot in the way that you try too hard and your attempts at shading fall flat 100% of the time

And didnt you claim to have a rebirth after you came back from banland??? You seem to have not let the light in

Sure there's speculation - and maybe I overreacted by defending myself in such a volume of words though I believe I maintained a respectful attitude - but I just feel uncomfortable with being immediately called out as the one who did something because of a bias I don't feel affects my work here.

Question to all ATRLers: is there anything I could change? Like seriously, I want to know if I'm missing something in my own moderating. If there's any way I'm acting that's out of line in your opinion take right now as a free range opportunity to discuss it with me because I'm always open to adjustment.

I think you should defend yourself a bit less. It's nice that you want people to understand why you made the decision you did - but it leads to the pattern behavior of many members then questioning each decision you made and expecting an answer from you (to eventually reverse your judgement). Unless the issue warrants an detailed explanation, I'd make your responses a bit shorter and more objective. "Yes, I made the decision because it broke this rule." "After reviewing your request, I agree perhaps your post didn't warrant a WP. I'll look this over with a 2nd/3rd mod to get additional feedback."

You are the newest moderator to the team, right? That's probably a driving factor to a lot of the accusations (besides the privacy of ATRL-O-Matic). Even so, I still think you are doing a damn good job around here. You are one of the most enthusiastic members (and moderators) on the forum, and I actually wanted to thank you for helping me with my help request last night but your PM is disabled it seems.

I do wish you had your PM enabled. I feel as though staffers should always have it enabled in case a member needs to confide in them for whatever reason that may be, and feel free to disagree with me on that. As a side-note, I'd probably PM you first with an issue I'm having on the forum/w members if I didn't already contact Ace or Lee. Sometimes I might just want a mods opinion on something and it would be nice to get yours too and PM works best for imo-so I hope you reconsider enabling it.

But fml I came in here to ask something and I forgot -___-

[Josh]

why the **** do we get warning points for not knowing who an artist is? my God ppl are so insensitive. What if we geneuinely didnt know who they were
