I got modded in what I think was an unfair manner. And I disputed it , they said it was upheld with out explaining why. I normally don't contest mods anymore, however I feel like I was wronged on this one and made my case. Yet when they upheld it they did not say why. Is that normal now.

Why is it so hard to follow the ToS? You wouldn't have this problem if you did.

I didn't break the TOS. And I proved why, that is why they could not tell me what I do wrong.

You don't get a response when appealing.
I don't believe they're required to give a reason anymore when moderating you either but I think some do.

This topic is perfect timing. I was modded for the first time in awhile that I disputed by asking how it was modded since the first moderation didnt actually tell me besides the copy n pasted rules.

They upheld it... without stating why.

I was very confused tbh. I know its a volunteer job, but this seems like a step backwards.

Supposedly the new system is to cut down on a lot of "this obvious moderation isn't a violation overturn it" since you appeal it, mods can read what you wrote and "vote" if it's fair or not, if more vote fair after 24 hours, it's overturned.

Of course that's relying on the fact they expect the mods to actually read what you wrote so who knows.
Personally I've given up on the moderation system here. They're just making it harder to actually understand what you did wrong. But whatever, site is dying and always has been known to have bad moderation practices anyway on nearly every other gaming site. The fact a lot of the more populra gaming boards have a fuckload of troll topics and the "community" filter just makes anything now "on topic" despite off topic being a moderation reason is pretty telling.

The whole new vote system is designed to save time. Which never made sense to me since the site is currently the slowest its been in 15 years or longer.
There's a voting system?

I never get a response on the appeal. The original moderation usually has some dumb, passive aggressive bullshit remark like "Maybe don't (insert 'offensive thing I said here'), hmm?"

We cannot reply to your dispute in any way. We vote on it and that's it. One of the most common disputes I see is someone just quoting the rule back at us and going, "I did none of these things." even though they're just examples and a comprehensive list of everything that is abusive/offensive/trolling would be completely impossible.

That being said, it's up to each individual moderator to explain why they moderated the post. This isn't mandatory, but if there could be any confusion as to why I'm moderating the post, I'll explain why I'm doing it. If someone is just throwing racial slurs around or posting porn, I don't bother, because they already know exactly why they're being modded.

Honeslty I dont think they think its worth it anymore, if this site really is dying then nobody is going to care about modding, it doesnt even happen that often anymore.

I used to love being a smartass in disputes but now it rarely happens and its boring.

Last time I asked for explanation I think here or on Hellhole or both and the mods explained. But it was more about understanding the rule than trying to dispute it I guess

Mods don't give rational explanations anyway. Instead they usually just get upset that you dare question their rule.

I really don't understand those people and why they get their rocks off so hard on policing language. It certainly calls into question their sanity (well, it says a great deal more than that, but...).

My typical modding experience is I get harassed by someone, usually them posting utterly disgusting and offensive lies. I respond and call them a troll or a liar, I get warned or worse and they get away with posting countless offensive posts about me. I block them and another weirdo or alt of their's starts up.

At this point I'm certain my marked messages get instantly ignored

Honestly, most of the time I get an explanation besides "This isn't allowed" it tends to paint the mod as bitter and butthurt so I prefer no explanation, the moderation shouldn't need one if it was just anyways.

Getting modded doesn't necessarily mean you broke the TOS. That's the problem.
