I don't really subscribe to "eye for an eye" type punishments, but it's been widely acknowledged here that there's a rather serious problem.<br /> <br /> If a mod's done nothing wrong, what do they have to fear? I've interacted with many mods both in a disciplinary and social scenario where I didn't believe in the slightest that they were in the wrong for punishing me, and in fact was rather pleasant about it. What makes the difference is when a mod cannot assign punishments without being rude or overtly harsh. They have no place as an authority figure.<br /> <br /> It hurt <i>my</i> feelings when a mod posted my punishment publicly. It was written up on my scribbles. That is both against Ala's rules and never, ever necessary. <br /> <br /> I firmly believe that, along with the many, many other things both I and others have witnessed, warrants their permanent suspension from staff. <br /> <br /> However, our complaints have gone majorly unheard. A poll would be a way for players to anonymously point out where certain mods are at issue, and then the admins could decide from there what to do.<br /> <br /> There is a lot more power in dozens of players reporting misbehavior all in one place then there is in hundreds talking about it privately and mentioning it here and there in miscellaneous threads.
I don't believe I've received a message from Ly, and definitely not in a long time if one was ever sent.
Ehh I still think that it'd hurt the mods feelings. People are complaining that mods think of them as "one of the bad people".. well how would they feel if we had a list of who we thought was bad and good?
Read Wysp's thread. It was never intended for the mods to see them.
<i>"A mod evaluation poll would be lovely. But that would mean us critiquing people who are in charge of enforcing rules. And we clearly are just so not mature enough to handle it properly."</i><br><br>I don't support this at all. Wasn't someone just talking about mod-forms when a user gets a warning/ban/fine so that the users feelings don't get hurt? :S This has the potential to hurt a mods feelings.
Then one of the last things I'd say, now, is... well, to ask what exactly happened and what was exactly said, but I'm not certain whether that would be fine for me to ask, whether you would be alright with it, or what.<br /> <br /> Without hearing much about it, though, I'd be led to believe that your issue is something you're getting overly worked up about. Nothing against you, I swear, but that's just how it's currently sounding.
"...I would resort to reporting them directly to admins..."<br /> <br /> That's what I did. Those two long letters were both to admins. Two different admins actually. I'm not falsely accusing the mods of any of this. I have seen their lies firsthand.
