Re: mods abuse

well juliete set a thread congratulating someone else for a game related milestone NOT REVEALED thus making the thread void and if that then its spam. at least two users claimed the thread is spam but HAz stepped in MOD color that thread isnt spam and is backin it up

if a post has no meaning its spam but if its a thread then its not spam (unless its created by favorite users)
HAz u just proving here that u ve different versions to judge what is spam.

I said the thread itself was not spam. But there was spam contained within it, hence the use of "Back on topic."

I've been saying it the whole time, the thread isn't spam. Some of the posts may have been spam, but that does not make the whole thread spam.

The achievement Haz is revelation of the fact that there needs to be a team in place or at the very least a leader that knows how to manage a forum.

I didn't say that I took you for a fool, nor do I think that.

If people take note of the way we type (whether its our mod colour or not), it renders to use of separate accounts useless. People taking note of the way we type is a much simpler and easier method than multiple accounts (as shown in the past).

Also, before I became a mod, this was my normal account. So technically we are using the account for what it was meant for, plus the added privileges to do our jobs as mods.

Allow me to try to translate.

Lithium believes that posting a congratulations thread without stating what deserves the congratulations is spam.

Haz believes that it's not spam to post a congratulations thread if it is related to an event in game. Similar things are done, I believe, for those who hit Rank 1.

The Rules state the following in terms of a Topic being spam:
Section 4: Spam
a. Topics.
Topics will be considered spam if they fit into one of three categories.
i) They appear in the wrong section of the board.
ii) The poster has made more topics than is reasonable for one user within the day. A moderator will judge this based upon the topics created and where they are created at.
iii) The topic has already been locked by a moderator and the user has reposted the topic.
According to the rules, the topic was not spam, no matter who the OP was.

thats quite different due to having a reason , the player achieved Rank 1 while the topic we are discussion has no achievement as it wasnt posted what player did.
also rules are subject to modification.
if a topic has no meaning then its pure spam as everyone who ll post has no clue.
in this case player A congratulated player B for an achievement not declared as a result Player's N are congratulating player b for nothing or for something they dont know so far spaming.
when Player Y asks for what is all this resulting in increasing the demand of others to know the reason the Spam Filter asks officially to stay on topic otherwise it might take actions resulting in Players N to just spam.

What I don't get is this

You say 2 separated accounts is useless , why would it be ?

Multiple accounts ? who sed u need more than 2 ? 1 for modding 1 for posting.

And your account being upgraded to moderator + added privileges to do your job as mod doesn't really make sence.

And I'll tell you why ->

When a moderator post/discuss/spams etc... etc... it mostly end up in forums users being upset

I'll be bold now and yes thats because of ur bleu tag , simply because moderators aren't ment to have a chit chat , their based purely on their privileges given like you've sed.

a moderator always needs to be an example for the community and a moderator free to speak is personally in my oppinion not ment to moderate.

Simply because they would be seen as a moderator that will take sides between 2 fighting users in matter of speaking

We have not dubbed anything herein as whining, and only once made reference to anything as complaining, then followed by good answer despite that word. If in doubt, do a search on our name and either of the words "complaining" or "Whining". You will find 7 results on the former, 0 on the latter. Six of the seven former being either quotes or replies to a topic with the word "complaining" in the title.
Even in the silliest of behavioral patterns, we strive to answer posts logically and reasonably. All questions asked of the staff deserve a fair answer, even those that may seem to some to be hopeless and/or thoughtless and/or idiotic in nature.
