I created a post listing the contact details of all the mods, using the information available freely on this site. This was intended to help people contact the mods in the case of being banned.
The post was deleted.
This board is for making suggestions or raising concerns; your thread did neither. In any event, it was redundant.
There's no reason not to see the contacts after ban, at least.
Well there is, because the software doesn't allow it. There's nothing we can do about that unfortunately.
I can see how posting in Suggestions after getting a ban would be a bad idea, and would have mods do nothing in here but deleting posts, but I also feel like just clicking the delete button isn't such a time-consuming thing. Real complaints will be kept, spam will be deleted.
Yes, but what happens when the spam is thread after thread filled with gay porn, all over the top two boards? Or child porn? If there's no mod here when it gets posted, it could be up for hours, and this has happened in the past. Likewise, if people can access the site, they can access their profiles, and fill their signature and avatar with child porn or something similar. Before I was made an admin, a banned member with over 1,000 posts did exactly that, and I had to manually delete each post one at a time, because only admins can delete or alter profiles (at the time, Daniel was the only admin).
You have to understand that these are not isolated incidents. Things have actually been pretty quiet in this respect lately, but only a week ago Gayer had to delete a bunch of posts made by someone who edited porn into his old posts. If we give banned members the chance to do this kind of stuff, a lot of them will.
Searching Flat Earth Society on Facebook yields at least 7 resulsts with the name "Flat Earth Society" on the first page, out of 233 results which I have not checked. I wouldn't know which one to look it, and it would be even harder to pin point which member is a mod.
Look, it's not our job to hold your hand. Anyone who really wants to find us there will, as we're one of the first results and have the FES logo on our page. As for knowing who is who, you don't need to know which of us are mods. You can just join the group and make a post there, and one of us will get it. It sounds to me like you just want to be able to bitch at whoever bans you. If that's the case, then frankly all I can say is that I have no interest in setting up a venting system for irrate RE'ers.
I'm not much for revealing my identity on this site.
I think it's pretty funy that a second ago you wer accusing us of being afraid to reveal our identities, asked me for my real name, and then come out with this.
It's clear that what you really want is to be able to send mods angry PMs venting about your ban. Maybe you get the chance to do that on other forums, but things work differently here. It's our job to enforce the rules, not to humour the people who break them.
First off, this is no longer about me so don't even go there. Secondly, I was against the majority of the guidelines because they were flat out bullshit. I put my two cents in, but none of you wanted to hear what I had to say because you all wanted to play "let's pretend to believe" with this FET crap. I was doing absolutely fine with my job as a mod for nearly a year until the lot of you started attacking me out of nowhere, that's when I said fuck it and didn't give a shit about what your little club felt was right.
Furthermore, maybe you should demote your fellow mod John Davis, clearly he cannot moderate justly as well with that "troublemaking" claim in my recent banishment. If stirring the pot of lies is troublemaking, then so be it.
Stop avoiding the issues and actually do the right thing for once and stop being such fucking douchenozzles to everyone because it was a fellow fet clubmember that got put on blast, all of it legitimate reasons as well. That is what is occurring and nothing less.
I don't want to be on the mod team with you so don't even try and argue that is why I am speaking out this way. It's a website, I honestly could care less, I am apparently very capable of doing something else. But the others here, they enjoy coming here, and they do somewhat give a fuck about whatever it is they give a fuck about with this place. Figure this shit out for them, at least, and stop dicking around the bush.
How about instead of ranting, you come up with some constructive criticism? I can't upgrade the site, and I can't change the fact thatwe regularly get porno trolls. These are realities, and I can't wave them away with a magic wand.
