@Aylen the fact remains that open trolls and harassment are going and have gone without consequence on this forum, including the very confused individual who started this thread. Flaming, trolling, and personal attacks are all supposedly against the rules here. Either enforce the rules or get rid of them so we know where the administration stands.
"very confused individual" could be considered a personal attack, so perhaps you shouldn't continue down this path.Originally Posted by thehotelambush
I do my best as a mod to be fair. If anyone thinks I am not then feel free to contact Mu. I am a forum member too with my own opinions. I also have a life outside the forum so I can't be on every little thing. I use my own discretion. Not to mention I come back after being away to find things way more offensive than what she has posted in this thread. I am not playing favorites here since I hardly know QT. She did not get a very warm welcome just because a few people found her directness/openness about how she perceives herself (in the beginning) offensive or something. A lot of you people are adults and should be able to moderate yourselves for the most part. You want an open forum but only when it suits you. Not when someone disagrees with you. By "you" I mean a general you. There are many teens here as well who I tend to give a bit more slack at first. I will use my discretion on how to handle them when I feel they need a reminder of the rules.
Some things just skirt the rules as you know. You were given an opportunity at one time to be a mod but decided not to. You could have interpreted the rules and then enforced them as you saw fit. No one wants to be a mod because it is thankless position to be in and that is why most have given up on any strict modding (other than making sure the forum is not overwhelmed with spam). If you want to be a mod contact Mu and tell him you think you can do a better job. That goes for anyone else who has complaints about the mods. The people who complain the most about mods often find themselves in the middle of conflict. They could easily take care of the problem by controlling their own behavior and not looking for mods to punish anyone that hurts their feelings. I am not say this last part about you. Just an over all observation.

To be very blunt, if you're not getting thanks as a mod, are you sure you're doing it right?
You know you can't please all the people all the time. To be very blunt you're a case in point. Someone I have seen making snarky comments about mods several times. You troll constantly and get into conflict with various forum members yourself. I have noticed you thanking posts of people trying to troll me or who start conflict with me, jump in to back them up and so on. On any other forum you would have been banned long ago. Take the win before I change my mind on strict modding.
