Moderator Transparency Appreciation Topic

[ama(m/t)]

Here's a heartfelt shoutout to those occasions when us simple users are allowed insight into the mechanisms behind the logic used by the peacekeepers of swf. It makes me feel like a part of a consistent community when I can clearly see the reasoning behind the fair distribution of justice and I greatly appreciate that.

 

[Laijin]

I greatly appreciate that as well

hey tom remember that one time you banned me because i said you weren't funny

 

[Tom]

iirc i banned your alternate account for being an alternate account

edit: i also remember messaging you on AIM asking you which one you'd like to keep because i thought it would be the nice thing to do

 

[MarsFool!]

*Nods*

 

[Tom]

hold up

hold up everything

i think i do remember literally banning you because i thought you werent funny.

 

[SleepyK]

being a mod sure is cool

when i called you didn't answer either

 

[ama(m/t)]

no iirc you banned me because i said you weren't funny

then you retconned and said it was an alt account banning
but yes i do appreciate the option to choose which account to keep

i think i do remember literally banning you because i thought you werent funny.

i missed your call as well and i felt like "oh drat i cannot believe i have done this." i hope i am in the smash-populated side of GA before next AWA but I really have no idea. this winter break i am in Memphis and NYC... i will be in Columbus GA for a few days after Christmas (26-28 maybe?) so maybe then. my 20th bday is on the 29th but i think my family is going to hog me all day again =/

Mods all have some sort of ego power. They just ban people they dislike and close threads. I love this smashboards

 

[Dorsey]

What do you mean? Closing threads opposed to an infraction for the single post that broke the rules is fantastic!! I love watching repetitive miniscule injustices being dealt to every one by moderators on a daily basis. Why can't they all just be like the only good moderator we have, Virgilijus? Virgilijus is the most splendid human being I have ever had the pleasure to encounter on smashboreds. I love the way he goes about doing things as a moderator, and he serves as an excellent role model for every one on swf.

dorsey, i don't like your avatar

BANNED

 

[Dorsey]

Ahh I needed a change anyways.

Mods all have some sort of ego power.

you really got a way with words. lol. whatever man i was like your best friend when you needed something from me on AIM and then you'd turn around and be so terribly upset when your cartoon porn thread would be closed. ooooh the moderators are out to get you because they're jealous of your mad young link skills, laijin.

 

[ama(m/t)]

the best mods should be the trolls
because they are always breaking the rules they are more acutely aware of how a ruleset and terms of service are supposed to work

not egotripping swf talkalots
ofc there is the matter of making a troll take the position seriously

Nah Tom we're still cool. I never once was ACTUALLY mad at you.
lol. Same with Mike G. He may close my threads, but he's still pretty cool

 

[CRASHiC]

Is there a mod that is power hungry on SWF? Other than Serin, I think the mods have all been wonderfully picked. Susa joked around with his powers a bit, but other than that, it all worked out just fine.

 

[SleepyK]

crashic is posting in this thread

I'm going to make up a poem right now;

Red and Bold

Oh how I wish my name was Red
with tags wrapped, around it's head
power would course, through my veins
I'd be in control, I'd hold the reigns!
Mistakes? Not me! I'd be the best!
Being incorrect? That's for the rest!
I'd lurk and chat, and have a good time
read reports, and moderate the crime.
Pretend to listen, to their case
all the while, saving face!
For you see, I am the law
I can't be wrong, no, not at all!
But alas, my name is not Red
Nor do tags adorn it's head
So I browse and post in constant fear,
of what higher power might be lurking near.
If only! If only! My name was red!
but I guess, I'll be infracted instead =\


lol, I guess it's alright.

 

[SleepyK]

i like it, shel silverstein-y.

 

[ZIO]

It's like you don't follow a list of rules outside of the forums that prevent you from getting away with everything.

Oh wait.

Besides, there are other places for you to do whatever it is y'all are moaning about.

 

[ama(m/t)]

what you mean appreciate the mod transparency?
yeah i suppose i could do it elsewhere but it only makes sense to appreciate swf related things on swf
