HUBGLUBLUGHYIDFDSYUGH Tripsis-HUBGLUBLUGHUBGLUBLUG stop-HUBGLUBLUGHUBGLUBLUGHUBGLUBLUG I'm drowning in the bullshit.

Just because you dislike or don't agree with something or because you have a problem with authority and rules doesn't mean it's bullshit.

The runarounds and the dead ends, and the "stop asking questions" reminiscent of totalitarian regimes makes it bullshit.

We never said "stop asking questions" and no one here is even asking why a certain rule is in place or suggesting alternatives. Here's how it works around here:

 

  • You break the rules.
  • We enforce the rules.
  • You kick, scream, whine, moan.
  • We explain why we have the rule.
  • You cry about how it's unfair and scream "bullshit".

You're not being constructive. You're not making legitimate suggestions to change the rules. You're not asking questions about our reasoning. You're just sitting there saying our rules are stupid and moan when you get caught breaking them.

Oh boy, you guys are at it again. Driving me out of my slumber just for this.

 

As an ex-member of the moderating team I can give you the following information. The TIF forum staff aren't out in some sort of conspiracy against their users. They respect their privacy. If they gave information why someone was banned, they'd be breaching that privacy. If exceptions were made to this rule, then they'd be breaking that rule. There are no legitimate grounds to give why a person on these forums are banned. If you want to find out, ask them yourself. They know why they were banned. It's explained in detail in the ban email sent.

 

I would also like to address the following... a person isn't banned for one offence. A person is NEVER banned for one offence bar something serious such as keylogging or pornography. A person is typically banned after a multitude of warnings. The TIF forum staff are often very generous in terms of this favouring warnings and reminders instead of bans. Furthermore, every single PM and communication sent is available for every single member of the moderating staff to view. So, if they did something wrong, it can be easily picked up by other members of the moderating staff, so there is no real "rogue" moderating happening, ever. Of course there are staff members with different ideologies, and because of this they may choose to take action on something. However, I can assure you that mostly every major action done is done with due process including, but not limited to, discussion amongst the greater moderating team.

 

If you disagree with a specific rule, feel free to make a topic in Forum Updates and Suggestions. That's honestly the best way to get a response. Even though this topic is relaxed in terms of that because you can' t really get off topic, it is still a more suitable action.

 

Just listen to the moderating team and what they have to say. Every rule and action is done with due process and in good faith.

 

Kevin out.

...But all your questions were answered, save for those that it's Goon's right to explain :$

 

I don't ever expect users to love moderators but I tried to make every effort to answer what I could >_<'

How long is Goon banned?

 

DOH, CAN'T TELL YOU.

And once again.. just more whining. We made it very clear what our reason was and you can't even challenge the logic in it. You just complain. All action taken against users is private. The user in question may share it. Ask Goon. He can tell you.

How long is Goon banned?

 

DOH, CAN'T TELL YOU.

 

I PM'd you telling you, in hopes you'd tell him, that he should have received an email. I was candid and said I'm not allowed to say anything further. You said he has emails from TIF blocked. I told you that Account Problem forms can be used to find out why and/or appeal and/or disagree with moderator action.

 

I don't know what else you want me to do, knowing that I can't do the one thing you're asking, and knowing that I don't have the power to change that policy. I even showed you where you can get user opinion on getting a policy you disagree with changed :/

 

You're kind of being unreasonable Sean :/

I very specifically remember someone (I believe cowman) saying "stop asking"

 

Lets clarify, when I break the rules you do jack shit to me. When goon posts some harmless pictures, he gets muted for however long.

 

I honestly can't tell if you read from a script most of the time.

 

My "whining" consists of pointing out the stupidity of your responses in a inappropriate, hyperbolic manner.

 

Also, I have yet to be told where I can apply to be a mod.

Well, 321, you just asked to be banned. Good job.

 

Drop it while you're ahead. For the sake of not wanting to lose my favorite bear, drop it. 2 in one day would be terrible.

My skin is finally getting soft
I'll scrub until the damn thing comes off

Sorry tyler, but the higher leadership just relaly pisses me off.

 

Kimberly was all nice about it, as are the local mods, who tolerate my typical obnoxiousness. Then tripsis rides in on a high horse with a sandblaster between her legs and tosses a bucket of bull on me.

I very specifically remember someone (I believe cowman) saying "stop asking"

 

That was in regards to Kevin's departure from staff and it was after at least 3 pages of him trying to explain, much like I am now, that we're not able to :/

 

Lets clarify, when I break the rules you do jack shit to me. When goon posts some harmless pictures, he gets muted for however long.

 

If that was the truth, then the user would be welcome to file a complaint against the moderator that handled the situation (in both cases, that'd be me :/). I won't be involved in any way with the complaint, and it would be handled by admins. If the claim had validity, I could potentially lose my moderator rank. And it's something they take VERY seriously. >_< So, if you really feel like a moderator isn't doing their job properly, you can go to an admin and talk to them about it. Believe it or not, we (the staff) aren't all [wagon] out to get you. We do want to help when there are things we can help or improve on. :/

 

Also, I have yet to be told where I can apply to be a mod.

 

I didn't know you were serious, I'm sorry >_<'

 

http://forum.tip.it/topic/39282-so-you-want-to-join-the-tip-it-forum-staff/

"The Tip.It Forum Staff consists of our forum Moderators and Administrators.

 

Moderators have the primary responsibility for keeping the boards clean and friendly.

 

Administrators handle the running of the boards and/or website.

 

We often get people asking to join or how they would go about trying to join. This post has been stickied so everyone can see it.

 

You can't apply to join the staff. When we notice an active user on the forums who we think might provide a positive impact on the community, we will invite him/her to join the team if they would like to. Of course this is not a definitive list of criteria and we will often use our discretion and judgement to decide who we invite - but it gives a general idea.

 

In summary, don't apply - we will invite you if you are suitable - just be yourself around the forums."

 

We did a moderator drive last year in Juneish? I think. So I wouldn't expect one for at least a half a year. Sorry :3
