Current Events > Out of the loop: What's with the recent increase in moderations?

(+) Yeah! (+)

Was there a change in mod policy? It seems like a lot of things that were fine in the past, are suddenly modable.

Do you see this as a good change, or a bad change?
---

They're going to mod these boards out of existence
---

Climate change
---

Maybe the messages are finally being marked?
---

A lot of changes that weren't made extremely public.

Soo....basically they're taking advantage and power tripping.

When SBAllen makes changes, they are way too discrete for the average gfaqs user. Unless you're a board expert that knows where to find everything, you're being struck over the head in a 3 Stooges kind of way.

They decided that what their dying message board needs is more regulation

---

Is this why all those users left over the last couple months?
---

I have a moderation because I called Mario Lopez a nerd for saying "gosh"

but tbf, the mod thought I was flaming another user, and because of that, I can't dispute my moderation.

They made the policy so they can be even lazier instead trying to be fair and professional for once.

Yeah I got something like that too, I think it's new mods being tricked when a few users on her coordinate their mass marking towards a specific post.
You need to specify in the post that you're calling the person in the article and not a user on the site a nerd

What policy? Lol

And don't underestimate my ability to be lazy.

In some cases the mods don't understand what's going on as per my example

In the last year and half hardly any of my moderations have been justified. Getting modded for non-violations shouldn't be a thing, I shouldn't need to still be scolding the mods after all these years.

I'm sure an alt has a great understanding of the rules.

Hey if the topic was still up I'd link it where the mod said the moderation was a misunderstanding.

But you act like you know more than me. It amuses me.

It's not me; I don't troll or shitpost. I've just noticed other peoples' topics getting deleted.

Whose?
If you mean vegy it's cause he'[s spamming the board on multiple alts. If you mean the discrod ones it's because users who mass mark are advertising their ones

ce, forever pointin to shit that doesn't matter.

I havent spent enough time on gamefaqs to be invested on anything or anyone (except you, my tsundere mod sempai that moderated me harshly for silly stuff to get my attention!! Tsundere-tsun-tsun? Ughuu you still give me kimochi in the kintekki, tehehehe ) , so I feel qualified to give you an analysis from a process perspective:

- I sense that some moderators view posters with suspicion, maybe even contempt. Theyre a necessary evil
- I sense that there has been a push from the top of the organization down to the moderator level to accelerate the moderation process while also reducing effort and turnaround, a revised, shittier process may now be in place
- I sense that moderators are forming groups and cliques, lets call them identity centers, which comprise some other moderators and also users, generating huge conflicts of interest, as moderators may moderate their enemies harshly and also be very lenient towards their identity center, who are some users/posters (a big NO NO and conflict of interest) and sometimes other moderators (resulting in a we stick out for each other mentality like the police).

The updated drivers to their grenade launchers, riot-suppressant 9mm machine guns and on-board auto-repair systems were successfully delivered.

Bruh, I rarely get modded. Nobody has been able to explain how any of my moderations were moddable. And I guarantee I've been around longer than the mods that modded me.

LMAO @ anyone who takes Tmaster seriously.
