keeping mods who use there position for personal benifit

Do you think that this forum is better or worse because Montards enforce the rules differently depending on what personal favors are offered or because of personal feelings?
Should that recluse themselves when someone feels they are being treated unfairly? Be removed for preferential treatment? Do you think that complaints from members should be addressed as customer complaints and punishment emposed just like members by pointing them when they do wrong? Should it be a ban from Modtarding or a total ban from site if they point out?

Do you think that Still Looking is doing something to correct the way he was treated which gave him a 4 month vacation which there are some that feel that the judgment, put against him, was tainted? He wants to correct the situation by getting the Mod either to change his behavior, methods, ant treatment of members or be removed. He has made it happen before, he will do it again.


The mod in question just preformed an action that is going to come back to haunt him IMHO as he enforced one rule while ignoring another in the same thread. He is is not a Teflon Bill Clinton or a Mr. Donald as he reports to someone who will make corrections when needed.

Go ahead, Flame me, but remember to follow the " " rules as this is a " " site after all.

It's still early......

before MODs tend to get redirected there has to be a lot of outside attention focused on the issue and community......

Some members of the community are starting to whine and RTM and write letters...... but there will need to be a good bit more before KC gets the attention that will magnify the issue and bring his peers into play......

You will know there is some momentum when the Prophet makes an entrance into the mix.....

In San Antonio it started towards the end of the 2nd months and did not steamroll until early in the 5th month.,..... It was unfortunate that the wrong MOD left the playing field that time.

Everyone has a bias. That is one of the reasons why the RTM button is there. If you see people violating the guidelines, RTM it. This forces the moderator's hand. Everyone in modtardville can see the RTM and modtards have to respond one way or another.

If you get an infraction from a moderator and you don't agree with it, just RTM it. Once again, everyone in modtardville can see it. If you still think that you are being treated unfairly, PM an administrator (or several). One of them will at least be forced to look at it and give you a response. I have reversed points/warnings before, because I have acted hastily. Having the members RTM the infraction, forced me to think twice about it and re-evaluate my decision.
