and if you hate me, its your problem. not mine. but insults are insults.

Lowra wrote:While not having people involved modding the war threads would be good, I don't think there is enough staff. And even if there was, say MajorLeeHurts, mods the Server War, both sides will accuse her of bias when she makes a decision against them. And quite seriously, would someone not involved in the war be active enough to mod any war? Some wars would be okay, they don't produce pages of stuff in 5 mins. The server war would require, in my opinion, a very dedicated team of non involved parties. Kudos if they exist but I don't think they do.

The suggestion to have each side mod themselves only embeds alliances into the modding, though is perhaps a nice compromise but in the long run may be a step in the wrong direction as it encourages alliance boundaries. However, I think it would be more fun to reverse it. An 'Fuall' mod can only mod TTF players and a TTF mod can only mod Fuall players.

Give it about a week and the thread should be rather quiet

@Buck, while I can see the reason for this thread, a part of the issue, as has been explained to me by a few people is timing. The posts and stuff which show biased modding are gone and it's more a matter of consistency and timing. For example, a TTF mod will warn someone in FUALL for something but they will overlook the same insult from their own side. Then the FUALL mod comes along and warns the TTF person. Hence the post and person is modded just that it potentially should have been done at the same time but wasn't. Or in some cases a warning will be issued with modding but not when the second warning was given.

So I believe the question is more consistency because usually what happens is something gets modded, then people notice the same thing being said from the other side and yell Moderator Bias until the offending post is also edited.

So while this thread is a good idea, I'm not sure you are going to get what you want out of it, since the evidence you are requesting is gone in a lot of cases, or requires precise time stamps and more knowledge of who did what that most have.

I believe the impression now is that Fuall mods TTF members more than Fuall members and vice-versa. If we had some statistics on how often TTF mods warn Fuall members vs TTF members and how often Fuall mods warn TTF members vs Fuall members then we may be able to provide proof of fairness or bias.

You know what I would like to see guys?


I'd like to see ALL forum users treat people the same way they want to be treated.

Not FUALL members, not TTF members, not FS, or Angelic assasins, or EPA, or any other alliances. ALL members no matter the tag.

Then their would be no modding and no calls of bias.

But I'm just a dreamer and a hopeless romantic, always have been, and always will be.

I hate it when people take such arbitrary statistics and tries to claim they prove something they barely provide evidence for and even then relies on other evidence. That's like saying that because I'm more likely to be bit by a kitten then a lion that lions are less aggressive then kittens.

That would be ideal Lore but as you say, dreaming. I think a majority of users here would like that as well but it is hard for people to turn the other cheek when they are treated badly by others. Its even harder for a user to turn the other cheek when a mod mistreats them. When a mod insults a user that doesnt deserve it then the situation escalates and peoples behavior gets worse. Other users see this and the general behavior of the forum detiorates.

Im assuming by "people" you mean me Jack since I was the one who suggested it. I am trying to provide you with a way to disprove bias. Right now the popular consensus among TTF members is that there are some mods that are biased. Since people tend to believe numbers and statistics over words, the best way to change their mind is to show the data. Look at it this way, if Buck comes back on Sunday and says "not enough proof so there are no biased mods". Do you think that will change what people believe?

Isn't that an odd logic?

You believe that mods are biased and thus you require "proof" that we are not? What hapened to the good ol "innocent til proven guilty"?

As buck stated before, if you want to accuse us of bias, the come up with some evidence.
