Devogen Posted August 12, 2009 Share Posted August 12, 2009 As someone who's been fairly and unfairly muted, banned, suspended on this board - I think its a goodidea for a review of current moderation procedures.For example, if, As a moderator or Admin, you see a post that you feel is inappropriate - insteadof creating a mountain out of a molehil… how about just removing the offending post?Is moderation and administration about keeping the forum clean, concise and on topic? or is it aboutplaying internet god with your hand on the banhammer.

Owen F Posted August 12, 2009 Share Posted August 12, 2009 @Proximity:> I was reffering to you acting like a mod in this thread.I get bored alot, so i have nothing else to do except trying to help eclipse be a better place. Is this wrong?I also only said that because _its the rules_ so if your disagreeing with me, please say so. Thanks :) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
xeross Posted August 12, 2009 Share Posted August 12, 2009 I would like to mod if I weren't already busy enough.Regards, Xeross Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Hippoman789 Posted August 12, 2009 Share Posted August 12, 2009 Backseat moderating is the MOST stupid rule I have ever seen on the forums.All we are trying to do is help them. Either before a moderator gets to them and warns them, or just so they know.And sometimes a moderator never sees that post, what then? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tyr Posted August 12, 2009 Share Posted August 12, 2009 I didn't read any of the replies, don't take me on that.I agree that eclipse isn't the same place anymore.. things actually do go out of hand alot.I once got warned in the beginning, for a silly necropost (I was a real noob) and tbh, i was suprised that it just dissapeared after some time!In any case, I think this is a great step forward.. A few more admins could help, as the boards keep growing everyday.Thats all I have to say, so far. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Anna Comnena Posted August 12, 2009 Share Posted August 12, 2009 You want to help? Report.Backseat moderating does nothing but incite flamewars. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
damian666 Posted August 12, 2009 Share Posted August 12, 2009 but i think there is a difference between helping noobs, and actual back seat modding missy ^^the real backseat stuff, yes, agreed, but the helping… no way.and read above to see what happened to owen when he tried to help :/thats exactly what i mean, because of that rule, they tell ya your doing it, and else it would be helping...Damian666 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Anna Comnena Posted August 12, 2009 Share Posted August 12, 2009 Helping isn't backseat moderating. Telling people they shouldn't have posted in a thread (while ironically making a spam post themselves) is backseat moderating. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

korky Posted August 13, 2009 Share Posted August 13, 2009 @Godlord:> Dear Marsh,> > I agree with your measurements and came to conclusion that these should have been take some time ago. Yesterday I've decided to take my attitude back down to what it was and I will try to answer threads more properly, as might have been noticed already. I'm sorry for any trolling, de-railing, etc. caused by myself on these forums and it will as for now, not happen any longer in the future, although neither in the present. The only boards where I actually will still post like this are probably the boards referred to as 186 and perhaps Chit Chat, if with reason or in my own topics.> > Kind regards,> Â Godlord.You didn't say that when you got agro and left.

Pryex Posted August 26, 2009 Share Posted August 26, 2009 I think this is on the tpic of warnings, but you see, most MODs are american, and in the morning when a lot of spam/flaming goes on, they aren't there, so it will just continue.By morning I mean GMT.What I'm saying is, maybe to make sure these warnings are enforced, we need a couple of morning mods, who are on GMT ior and hour behind or ahead.
