I love how the mods get all defensive when someone points out flaws in how they are doing their jobs
Not defensive at all.
In all honesty all posters SHOULD receive the same treatment
Agreed. And I treat all posters equally. As I'm sure all the other mods here do as well.
The problem Becker is having is that he doesn't understand that there are several mods who have their own values. I was the one who infracted Hidden Dragon, and I didn't feel like any of them were worthy of a week ban. NorCal was the one who infracted Becker, and NorCal felt he did. NorCal, if I remember correctly, did NOT infract the poster who said something about touching kids.
Each mod has their own values, and since the Bar Room is moderated at each mod's discretion, then that's just the way it is.
What Becker is looking for is uniformity in the way things are moderated. But that's not going to happen, especially when it come to Bar Room threads, as each mod has their own opinions on what is bad, and to the level that is bad. However, I'm SURE, that if another poster were to call someone's children an accident, NorCal would ban that poster as well.
If you think it's flaming then then give them an infraction, if you think what they said is so bad to justify them being banned, then discuss it with the other staff members int he board room before banning the perpetrator, seems easy enough to me
And that's exactly what we have always done. NorCal asked in the Board Room if we thought Becker should be banned, no one argued, so it was done.
Problem solved, not that you were the problem anyways.
Hmmm, it seems my welcome thread has been invaded by certain people who are arguing over the staff powers.
It's more entertaining really.
So I have the right to say they touch people? Fan fucking tastic.
It depends upon which mod reads it.
Sucks eh?
