Do You Think Moderators Should Tell Members (publicly) About User Ban/Warning History

[EllieCat]

Or do you think it’s only a Moderator’s job to know about warning/ban history?

 

[riseabovethis]

I think one of the moderators should read a dictionary because they don't have a clue what Spam is?

No; as a member of staff, you never want to air someone's dirty laundry in the open for everyone to see.

I think our team has a great grasp on what spam is.

I guess that's two moderator's now who didn't bother to give their definition of Spam. Honestly posting. all those songs on my thread which didn't interfere with other's enjoment of this site does not qualify as Spam.

Care to tell me how posting on my own thread

was stupid
was pointless
was annoying especially since no one complained
What the hell does message have to do with it?

That will be enough. This has been explained to you in depth already. We're not going to debate the issue any further.

 

[InMyOpinion]

Hmm I don't think it's really important to point out who got banned HOWEVER, if you want to point out what rules or regulations were broken and remind the members & staff what is tolerated and what isn't then that's a different story.

 

[Bluezone777]

I wonder if anyone missed the irony of this thread. The user named "riseabovethis" who couldn't rise above this(points to thread) and a thread where people tell you that you should not air dirty laundry in a thread where someone airs their own dirty laundry for everyone to see.

I wasn't one to go out of my way to explain moderation decisions outside of forum bans but hey if someone wants to bring it out to the public square for the entire world to see then I wasn't about to stop them from discussion it there. I knew I had a strong case for anything I did and could easily explain why I came to the conclusion I came to so any attempt to discredit my decisions making or authority wasn't going to end well for anyone who tried.

 

[InMyOpinion]

I'm confused with what's going on in the thread. I wasn't trying to stir anything up, sorry. I just seen the thread hadn't been active in a bit and decided to post. I feel bad for responding now.

 

[Bluezone777]

Nah you are fine. The guy who was being trouble for the board is gone for a long time now as I guess he chose to be removed from the board for good. I was just making a few observations that's all.

 

[EllieCat]

Hello. This thread is alive again.

 

[InMyOpinion]

I'm glad they are gone then. We don't need no trouble or drama

 

[Black Angel]

No. I have a moderation board for a reason. I treat it like peer mediation. The only people involved are those in conflict and those with the authority to do something about it.

All parties understand that what is said there, stays there, and that they aren't to speak of what transpired. After everything is said and done and there has been resolution, the thread is locked and archived so that the next users in conflict can't be nosy. Regular members know from the rules not to question a staff decision, as it isn't their business.

I have been doing this for years, but mostly for my brother's old forum, most of the people on mine are adults and so there isn't as many issues, but this is the process I would follow if there were.

 

[Dead2009]

Only if it's in a staff section. Otherwise no.

On XDA, there are literal adults that act like 10 year olds and have no idea what a “discussion” is. They often go off topic and beg for a rom to be made.

And THAT'S why most of them moved to Github or Telegram.. where inevitably they did the same on Telegram and the dev quit and now the chat is full of unlock scammers..

They are on Sourceforge too..

crap. Where can I go to actually discuss about ROM developments without literal idiots?

You could probably try Telegram if the dev has one, and even if the dev isn't active in the chat, you can still d/l the roms and stuff for your device.

In my case, I used the WETA Rom for my tablet but thankfully the roms and kernel links are still there even if the chat itself is pure chaos.. lol

But some devs are on SourceForge and some are on Github.

It is worth noting that Legacy GSI is out there too and supposedly will run on any device that can pass the treble check..

I have two chats that I follow for my devices. My phone is an LG V50S+ and I plan on getting their next successors to it even though they pulled their mobile division.. I went with them because they became the spiritual successor to Samsung phones for me, who started taking pages out of Apple's playbook even after the phone wars back then, but I still use their tablets and I have an international Galaxy Tab S4..

I’m not allowed on Telegram

 

[Black Angel]

Ah ok.. sorry.. but the telegram chats I linked too are for my devices anyway.. but at any rate many of the devs are primarily on the other sites I mentioned anyway..

I mean I am pretty sure that the other devs probably noped out of their chats because of the immature idiots there anyway..

But yeah a lot of them are on the other sites (sans-Telegram anyway)

But if you do have the same devices I have let me know I could probably google drive it to you..

Sorry for the inconvenience.
