Bad Moderators

[PGen98]

Then those admins sit around wondering where everyone went when their community is dead.

Absolutely, they can't comprehend how it all went downhill.

At least that would be me if someone told me what I can and cannot talk about on a forum. If they state you cannot talk about yourself in the rules thats fair game but I am not a fan of when admins make up things as they go along. Control freaks turn me off.

There's a popular site where you could make your own avatar where the rules and such feel like an early to mid 00s site/forum. I've found way less forums adding much rules if any besides the obvious ones.

C'mon, it'll be in good hands.

Yeah if you want someone who is MIA all the time. He barely comes around here these days

I had 2 I regretfully hired. One who I ban and fire for spewing racist crap 2 years ago and the other who removed herself last October just because I was just doing my job telling her not to double post with her pathetic audio clips of her singing. I made sure and aware that she's forbidden to post there again, because me or my members have no time for that. At my forum, I look for staff who are respectful and nothing else.

I once left the forum because I had a fight with the moderator. The owner requested me to join again with a new name and this time also the moderator started saying nasty things and I had to leave the forum.

How is that "just doing your job?" ....you should reply to her thread so she wouldn't have to double post.

Neb, I don't tolerate anyone or anybody bossing me or my staff around. That's why I impose that rule so none of that will happen again in the future. As far as Naiwen goes, why do I have to waste my time replying to her thread? I don't sit in conference with her and I stand by what I do by banning her, because she doesn't contribute to anything.

 

[Nebulous]

why do I have to waste my time replying to her thread?

....because she took time out of her day to contribute to your forum? Of course you don't have to reply to anything you don't want to, but I thought her singing clips were interesting and it was pretty brave of her to post those in the first place.

Part of the reason I like being on forums is because we're exposed to so many different types of unique people.

Let me ask you a question and be honest about it. How would you feel if Naiwen boss you around and tell you how to run Off Topix?

I'd look at it as feedback rather than being "bossed around." I'd thank her for sharing her opinions, let her know that the staff would discuss them and get back to her.

Also any member here is welcome to create a public feedback thread where they can basically "boss around and tell us how to run this forum." We welcome everyone's opinions, if the requests are reasonable and if the members/staff agree with them, we can make accommodations if necessary. We've done it before.

 

[KenDaGamer]

Since she want nothing to do with me, be grateful that I blocked her. And I'm also grateful that other forums want nothing to do with her. Time to move on.

 

[Nebulous]

Time to move on.

Are you bossing me around?

...just kidding

You're okay.

I was on a forum lately where another moderator would act like he owned the place. Terrible person, so I had to retire from there. Honestly hate people like that.

What did the admin/owner have to say about his behavior?

Didn't care because he was getting carried by the rest of the team. So I just retired

Me, boss you around? Nevah.....

I don't blame you. Staffing on some forums is a complete waste of time. Especially the one you're referencing. What's the point in being on staff when you lack the permissions to moderate anyway?

Yeah they can survive just fine with one less button pusher. Focus on your own forum, its a great one!

You haven't yet.
