Is it just me? I used to remember getting a point loss, and the occasional suspension 2 years ago.

Nowadays, its all just warnings. Maybe its just that I got out of System Wars, but still, I think in OT I would get the occasional point loss.

Do you think the mods have gotten soft?

Pretty much. They moderate very differently now... Not that I'm complaining.

I rarely get modded. I just always assumed they loved me.

The mods were hardened thugs back in the day. But ever since they found romance, they've turned soft. They just can't cut it anymore. I told them that girl would be the end of them. Now I gotta take care of things myself...

Um, in other words they're not acting like total nazis. You dont get modded for extremely small things, nothing wrong with that.

Yeah, that's what they WANT you to think.

This is a trick. They're lulling us into a false sense of securoty, and that is when they will strike; when we are most vulnerable.

They also don't persecute you for being Jewish, which is always highly welcome.

To be honest, I never quite got the whole "The Mods are out of control!!" mentality (and this is coming from someone with quite a few moderations).

Nah, mods will still mod you for silly things. I was recently modded for something that was apparently offensive, even though other users said basically the same thing. And my "1 day" was more like 3. I don't think they got soft.

I think you need to read up on the ToU's offensive section again if you think that is appropriate for this site. Sexually explicit stuff has never been allowed.

rragnaar DID actually pm me once this year, and reversed a moderation that someone else made after discussing it with them...so, yeah.

That's not true. If you read the post below yours as anecdotal evidence... I don't believe I've interacted with StrawberryHill before or after the time they are talking about. We aren't out to get people, and we don't take it easier on some than others.

Not at all. I'm just posting like anyone else. I don't intend to come across as defensive or perturbed. If someone calls us on something that I know isn't true, I'm likely to respond.

That was cool of him.
I remember Ayaname_Rei (sp?) mentioning that she did the same thing sometimes when she was a mod.
I just didn't understand the part about moderating less. That's the only reason I asked, I don't have a problem with him or anything...

Jim wandered into the thread and his eyes narrow in consternation. The situation is perilous. The proletariat is getting dangerous ideas that the Mod Team is not the enemy. Such a blasphemy violates the first two rules of mod club.

He's further alarmed to see a couple of fellow mods joining in the joke and performing outreach to the community. The situation is worse than he could have possibly imagined. Obviously a violent retribution is in order.

A re-imposition of the established order of things was needed. But what would be appropriate? He has to tread a delicate line here. After all, overt acts of forum user genocide inevitably created more problems than they solved. As a famous man once said, "I'm a business man! Blood is a big expense."

A warning was needed, but such a warning as to be slightly unnerving in the process.  Mission accomplished! (With credit to Gary Larson.)

Course they are. They're human, and furthermore, they signed up for a volunteer job to grow their epeen and gain some sense of power. The job practically screams for such people. Yes I've modded popular forums before, I know this is how it is.

I would say yeah, It has gotten a little bit more lenient. I was moderated for saying "Soup." in a soup or salad thread a few years ago, but recently they updated the rules a little which has made it easier for me to post in any state I am in! Though I don't think I have ever had that much trouble following the ToU, but I have found myself to be much more comfortable when posting. Of course, that has more factors in it than the rules being a little looser.

You're completely overlooking Rag's signature and Avatar. He's a robot. =P
On a serious note; though there have been some mods that deserve some criticism I don't see how Rag could possibly be one of 'em.

Clearly, he insulted your 'e-peen' and he has not yet been modded. ;P

When I say criticism, I mean constructive criticism. Even the most dedicated person will get some eventually...

Y'know the one who thinks that the term boofhead is offensive..

What a horrible shame, yes, ahem.
