Powergamz1 -> RE: Zimmerman Threads -- Quite Complaining to the Mods (7/6/2013 3:22:26 PM)
|
And yet on 5/29, 5 weeks ago, you sent out of the blue, a gold bordered message that you were giving a *FINAL WARNING*... what was that, on your first day on the job?
Since no other mod had said they had a problem with anything in that thread, and in fact zero warnings had been received (and no posts had been removed from that thread, in spite of your claims to the contrary), you've just basically admitted that you were either carrying a grudge from before you were a mod, or that you were using your new position dishonestly. Either way, you need to step down to maintain the integrity of the position, wouldn't you agree?
And don't insult our intelligence by saying that all complaints should go to VM Alpha, when they refuse to open messages on the matter, going on 4 weeks after they were sent.
I'll expect to see this deleted, and my account wiped, just as happened after I complained openly about Moderator 11's blatant abuses.

None of this explains the hastily edited posts that have been reported or tickets that just "vanish". In fact, in the case of the "vanishing tickets" it would kind of support that the admins are doing something . Certainly, I can't make a ticket vanish.
I've been a moderator for a little over a month. If those things did indeed take place, they took place before my time, but yet, I still get bashed for them.
And to put something in perspective: I cleaned up a ticket from someone that I had previously put on moderation (and received page after page of hate mail) complaining that s/he was tired of Mods protecting the special ones. When in fact, the person he claimed was protected, had also been put on moderation by me the very same week as ticket maker. (And again with page after page of hate mail) The irony was epic.
That said, I will apologize about the first Zimmerman thread. It is locked due to me. After spending 8 hours of reading that thread and trying to get some work done, I was still not through all 66 pages. So, it remained locked while I spent the holiday with my family, as they are my priority.
While you may not believe it, I put a great deal of effort into trying to be fair. I have modded people that I consider friends. We receive massive amounts of hate mail, some from people we consider friends under our regulars nicks.
We are not allowed to speak for the site. We have been given the rules and are expected to follow them. But, I'm also happy to explain a decision as long as I'm not approached with hostility.
We are not infallible and I can honestly say that I volunteered to do this to attempt to help, not harm. While the claim has been made that it happens in a black box, the opposite is also true. There are things that get said to us, simply because we are anonymous.
I read the complaint threads with the hope that I can find a way to keep the balance while in this role. A little return courtesy of putting yourselves in my shoes would be greatly appreciated.
Overall, I think this is a great forum with many different views represented and a great deal of experiences to share.
