Mods arent exactly the nicest people out there. 90% of the infractions I got were deserved. I was a smash noob/troller. When I finally decided to smarten up I was still hated by mods. However a mod is supposed to enforce rules. Not give more infractions to people they hate then ones they don't. A mod even pm'ed me and called me an idiot.
That's very true. Madoeraters are supposed to be impartial, no one should get special treatment, or bad treatment, just because of the relationship with said moderator. I feel that a moderator should in fact lay down the rules when needed. I believe if there are multiple offenses then the mod should lay it down harder than on others. But giving infractions out for a little thing spamming.(Depending on how much) I think is wrong. Also, I find this odd. Most of the time when I see it. For some reason, a moderator who is very harsh, tends to be classified as a good mod. That really confuses me...

Admins are our great Fuehrers, we must honour and obey them, and worship the space they type on.

In Her Majesty Queen Killjoy we trust.

There r good mods in this forum and there are bad ones. Some I know deserve to be mods and some who I have no idea how they became a mod.

For the most part they are "impartial" luv. Bob is just an exception [kidding].

It is true some mods can be overly strict, but not often that Harsh. Believe me strictness is needed, order is a bliss. ;)

If mods didn't infract people for spamming then this place would be a mess. Tbh, you wont get anywhere with that argument.

But of coarse there are some occasions where a mod may simply act unfairly. If it's a real problem thats when you take it to the "forum disputes." Ex: Being uncalledly called an idiot.

~But don't hold a grudge just 'cause you screw up and get infracted.

I don't think accounts can be deleted by mods.

I should have mentioned, I wasn't talking to anybody here. I don't knoww any of the mods well enough to form an opinion about them. I guessed that tis topic was about moderators in general.

You said strictness is needed, not over-strictness.

This topic itself is an example, although I don't know the rules of this particular forum, but there were quite a bit of things here that could be classified as spam. I doubt anybody will get infracted for it, though. Which is where the "How much spam it is" comes into play.

I don't really know if they was directed at me... or if it was just something you were sayign in general. But. *hasn't been infracted* Not surprising considering my post number....

You are going to be the first person I delete for trying to correct me.
I will report you to the staffs for being a cyber-bully on the Smashboards.
btw, isn't it kind of an unspoken rule to not say you want to be mod? I dunno, but that's what I've heard. =O

Peachy, not like, spam spam, but getting kind of topic/being casual in the User Blogs is pretty normal. We don't get post count in here, so that kind of contributes to the easy-going attitude here.

So like.... we're allowed to spam here?(not going overboard of course) but spam is allowed here? O.o
For the most part, yeah...though that mostly applies to the blogs themselves, less than the comments. Personally, I don't think a blog can be anything, but the staff begs to differ.

Mild spam is more tolerated.

If you make usless one sentenced thread it will most likely deleted.
Just don't take it too far.

It's mostly frowned upon, yeah, and it says in multiple places that you asking to be a mod/BRoomer/Smash BRoomer greatly decreases your chances, which logically extends to saying that you want to be one.

Fixed for :mad: justice.


Also trying to be a mod doesn't help either. Just be a productive member of the boards and your chances may sky rocket.

In :mad: we trust.

I was chosen to be a moderator because of what Darkslash stated.

Just be a productive, nice member, preferably with decent grammar and spelling (or greater then decent) and your chances skyrocket.

Then when you ask to be a mod, you just ran out of rocket fuel and a random alien spaceship blew you up.

I haven't been infracted yet. I'm a good boy.

I remember a while back, I was terrified of getting an infraction. If I'd post in a thread, and then saw a notification, I'd freak out. I was really self-conscious of my posts too, I'd sometimes write whole paragraphs and then not post them because I though I might get infracted.

I got most of my infractions from the mod who hates me most.. Anokoku. Though he got in trouble with the Admin for calling me an idiot.
