What to do when a mod gets out of hand?

[PhotoJones]

Sorry nope, case not closed. I read what you done-you weren't a choir boy. Just thought I should point out to you the same could been applied to you

And vice versa. Now, either post relevant information, or please stay out of this thread. You're spamming by bringing other garbage into it. This is a question/answer thread, not a fingers pointing one.

I'm not a Mod anymore, so I don't have to listen this thread. *La la la la*

 

[PhotoJones]

Haha. What's an administrator do that a mod doesn't?

 

[DOG LIPS]

Hookers.

 

[PWN3R]

DOG LIPS is our savior. This is not spam because Morg sucks. See, a relevant point.

 

[PhotoJones]

Can we get Morg de-modded?

 

[The Evolutionist]

Can we get Morg de-modded?

And all semblance of subtlety goes right out the window.

 

[Dew k. Mosi]

I'm sorry. I didn't mean to get out of hand

 

[DOG LIPS]

Can we get Morg de-modded?

Sure!

I was just using him as an example, following PW3NR's comment. Honest.

Sure!

Where do I sign?

Oh don't get me wrong, I understood.

And what the hell, I agree with it. I honestly think it's an issue that should be looked into.

You be spamming too, I know you posted in that thread that got trashed and the way you worded your first post seems to imply about what happen to him
That's why I made the first post

Morg, why don't you just step down? You've obviously got more then a few people who don't think you do a good job around here as a mod. Why don't you do the right thing and hang it up?

I don't have a personal problem with him, I just don't think he does his job as a mod as well as other people could.

Exactly.

You be the last person I listen too. Trust me I do my job-most of it you peeps never noticed

What about the rather large number of other people who have said it?

 

[Spider-Girl™]

If he wasn't doing his Job(playing devil's advocate ) wouldn't he have been demoted by now? that is unless all the other mods aren't doing their jobs and haven't noticed?

I have a feeling I just made more enemies on SHH!... oh well.

From what I've seen, the overwhelming majority of people that have an opinion on the matter would like to see you leave. That speaks for itself. Any reasoning you come up with to remain a mod in spite of that is ego and power, as far as I'm conerned. And those are two qualities that a mod should not posses.

I don't think it's a matter of him doing his job, I think it's a matter of him not doing his job well. And to be honest, I don't know why it hasn't been approached by the mods, at least recently, I seem to remember a time when it was mentioned that he went through re-training.

Guess we should kick DL out too...jk jk jkt:

Evo, I guess I'm too young to remember/know what Morg was like. Probably before my time lol.

I don't remember exactly when it was, but yeah, you're probably a bit too recent.

It's not the training that I and everyone else has a problem with. I'm sure they've trained him very well with knowing how to edit posts and delete threads. What's important, though, is good judgement. Morg doesn't have that. That's why people have problems with him being a mod.

*pokes head in the thread*

If User A was dealt with by Mod B, and User A felt like the punishment or infraction given to them by Mod B was unjustified, then User A has every right to seek out Mod C or D for further advice on the matter. Mod C or D could very well side with User A and discuss the matter with Mod B on how said matter was handled, and eventually come to a clearer conclusion.

We all think and respond to things very differently, so if you seriously had an issue with someone's judgement then you should take your complaints to another official and have them take a look at the situation so they can review it for themselves. I don't personally look at it as "running behind another mod's back" as long as it's handled properly by the user and as long as if they have a legitimate complaint.
