Read the "Mods can't be users" paragraphs.

It's obvious that Allen is doing nothing but kissing his buddy RaptorLC's power-hungry rear end. The user that posted this concern (HanOfTheNekos) brings up a great point. Mods should NOT get involved with conversations that get hairy in topics on these boards. We all know that happens a lot at Hellhole. Come on Allen, step up and take action instead of letting this slide. This is very important to the site.

Gotta agree with Allen here - being part of a community doesn't mean you can't be a good mod. See TRE.

The problem is that when there's a conflict where a mod could be biased, all the powers that be immediately side with the mod instead of analyzing the situation and deciding from there whether or not the mod has gone a good job. A lot of you probably remember the whole "Xic obviously fabricated the chat logs" deal.

Instead of just shooting it down out of hand, why doesn't Allen make some restriction like you can't moderate posts on boards where you have an active post? That would help cut down on "mods stir up ****, moderate people who get angry" nonsense.

I'd rather have red or TRE, who are familiar with our users and have a better understanding of our personalities and relationships with each other, look at our marked posts than someone completely from the outside who can't tell when we're joking or when we're being offensive

I think mods should be held to a higher standard when it comes to offenses such as trolling.

Users stirring up s*** is users stirring up s***, but moderators know exactly what the outcome is and how people react to the things they post. This shouldn't be a bimonthly occurrence around here. Where's the friggin' professionalism from mods like ngirl who openly admit to trolling?

I like the idea of community-specific mods

If we just had TRE and red and ngirl, that would be perfectly fine. Bad stuff like porn and spoilers and offensive stuff would still be deleted, but stuff like KHAQ and the trash can topic would be fine since those guys know how B8 works and what is appropriate for B8 (as opposed to some kingdom hearts board or something). Ngirl is only bad because she always brings mod boarders here, but if they couldn't touch this board, it wouldn't matter.

I guess it makes sense because we have a lot of drama about mods here.

Maybe other social boards are like that too, I don't know. The only mod drama I remember from another board was the whole Ail thing several years ago, but I don't really go to other social boards.

I mean maybe Foolish Banana really is a Board 8 regular and I just haven't noticed, but...

And even better, he's calling the mod out, telling him he should come here and talk about it man-to-man. What?

It's WhirlyBird posting on a buddy's account because every account he owns has literally been closed or banned or suspended indefinitely.

The problem with moderators is that they signed up to moderate messages. A small amount take joy in trying to use this ability to improve a site that they enjoy, most are observed to simply take joy in being empowered.

The moderation system is still a byproduct of how neurotic CJayC was about the whole concept. It's better to have moderators moderating than it is to clean up the place, according to the GameFAQs moderation mechanics.
