Ive been dealing with my moderator duties as usual, but ive seen and been asked to raise certain issues with people about behavior and rule obstruction.
On TWO occasions, I was treated like crap, verbally abused over the I'm service when I had explained what I had warned for. You do NOT complain about warnings or messages given to you by staff unless it is REALLY unfair. You do NOT abuse ANY member of staff for doing what they're meant to be doing.
I'll explain to you what we need the staff for, starting from the lowest ranks.
Programming Groups - Jr/Nor/Sr - This group of people contribute the scale of neocodex, the programs! I've seen flaming in topics about things not working, and it makes the programmer feel bad and maybe think about moving elsewhere..It isnt worth it.. And the Sr.Programmers have alredy acquired the moderation team stance, between normal mod and Smod.
Moderation Team [General Area] - This group deals out the moderation for the general area's and lounges, keeping the board in order and dealing out justice as it should be. Flame at these and be warned, you have been warned..If you are dealt a warning you think is unfair, contact the mod and disbecauses it in a civilised matter, flame and it will be braught up and you will be dealt with.
A footnote on Norm/Sr.Programmers - Diss them and you get NO PROGRAMS WHATSOEVER. These guys create the best programs, and their talent has been seen and dealt with.
SuperModerator - These are the highest formality of the moderation team, and are here to deal with the intense issues, and to take the weight off the administrators and the other moderation team. Flame any of these members harshly enough or treat them with disrespect, You will probably be banned.
Administrators - Admins are the highest of all. They have the power to ban with a single click. I havent seen one case of flaming of these yet, so you've been good not to do that.
This applies to most members - stop being disrespectful to other members and the staff, I've seen 5 members leave because of others treating them badly or verbally abusing/flaming.
All the moderation team will be out on whatch for this, you will be warned if we see fit you have broken a rule, and complaining about it when it is fair will ONLY make it worse.
Thank you,
