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

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

  • Closed Accounts Posts: 15,238 ✭✭✭✭Diabhal Beag


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


  • Closed Accounts Posts: 42 FrancieB


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


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 23,587 ✭✭✭✭Frisbee


    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

    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    I questioned an infraction once and while it wasn't withdrawn,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.

    Just wondering.... :p


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 7,545 ✭✭✭Hogzy


    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!


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 1,379 ✭✭✭thebigcheese22


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

    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]
