Established Mods are fair, new Mods have a stick up their ass(i have seen it) Back seat Mods are the worst.

I've seen this stick too and I tell ya it ain't a pretty site, they should get a new one. It's been in too many an orifice if you ask me.

Nope. I think they do a good job and only sort out the muppets on here

They're a tad harsh after they've had 25 pints of Pernod.

meh it depends on the forum tbh, some mods are grand and others are strict, some mods take things way too seriously...

my 30 day siteban for a link to meatspin was way harsh. i still stand by my assertions that it is a legend of the internet

Depends on the forum. 60% of them are okay but the rest...........:mad:

FrancieB

Big time. Cant say frig all. Oops. I said frig, thats another point....

Most Mods are grand, just like 90% of boards users.

You'll always have a few Mods that come from that 10% of numpties though

most are generally ok, apart from calina in photography

In any of the few dealings I've had with mods I've been impressed.

I questioned an infraction once and while it wasn't withdrawn,
the mod was friendly and took the time to give me a detailed
reason for why they gave the infraction.

I have seen the odd case of unfair punishment being meted out though.
Worst of all, sometimes a strong argument has been made against the
punishment only for the mod to ignore it and refuse to withdraw the punishment.

Trouble in paradise. Ban him Gordon :pac:

Yeah, I'm a real prick.

Do people who vote yes get permabanned?

Just wondering....

All the encounters iv had with mods (1 encounter) in which the mod jumped the gun a little, they deleted the comment and gave me a personal apology! I was more than satisfied! Nice guy cant remember the mod tho!

thebigcheese22

I voted 'at times', does that mean I get an infraction?! :P

Aren't they beating each other over the heads with tripods over there? :eek:

They are on the ball with trolling / abuse. I think that *some* mods are unable to set aside their own beliefs, and dislike for some posters.

My personal favourite is the 'back-seat modding'. Wtf. As much as I respect the time and dedication that goes into the job.. Maybe.. Just maybe.. Some of us are only on to air a view / amuse themselves, believe it or not, but stay within the charter.

Feedback is also met wit clique-ish hostility. So its taught me to not bother my hole.This thread is going to be like shooting fish in a barrell.

But overall, if I didnt enjoy, or have a laugh with some posters, I wouldnt be here. [/honesty]

They're all arseholes.

What's a mod?

Fighting Irish

Not harsh with rules but very harsh when it comes to things like locking threads because "they have gone off topic"
WTF let me talk about what they want to talk about

Also nearly everything that is being discussed right now has been discussed numerous times before, so locking a thread because it was discussed before is stupid and is usally done because the mod disagrees with what is being said in the thread

And anyone who has had no problems is going to say no... its a 2 way street!

I got banned from Television for something I didnt do but I dont hate the Mod.

At the end of the day, its a tough job and they are human like the rest of us....

RacoonQueen

Depends on the forum...I find some of the whole forum charter stuff rather silly to be honest. Sometimes gets to me seeing a mod 'issue a warning' to people in some thread because it goes against the forum charter. Some really need to lighten up. I know there's heavy traffic and all going through the site but if other posters are really that bothered by other peoples posts if they're constantly going against the hallowed 'forum charter' they can report them and the mod can deal with it that way without going all Hitler on peoples asses as soon as they put one wrong word in a post.

Just my take on things, I've been a modding and admining on other sites for years and this place feels like it's run by the nuns and priests at times.

You just said above that anyone who has been banned is going to vote yes... Contradicting yourself a little i think:P
Others might be more reasoned (like you) and if they deserved to be banned then fair enough they can vote accordingly:)

kittensoft1984

Im the exception to the rule! :P

Mark200

Well I do think that some mods abuse their power or just over-react too often, but then again....boards is the most popular forum in Ireland...so there must be something to it that just makes it work. So I'm not going to complain.

I voted yes anyway

MIN2511

In fairness, loads of posters take the piss...

Just doesn't make sense....

boards is cool, made some freinds, some enemies... argued but most importantly i have learnt a lot!

I've been banned from a few forums and from AH twice and I would still say no.

Most mods I've come across are fine.
Although I saw red for casually calling someone "a fool" one time.
I didn't appreciate that

Mr. Frost

Never found them a problem at all to be honest...I think they're fair.
