Who moderates the moderaters .

Its been made perfectly clear to me that any complaint i make about anyone on this forum will be treated with absolute contempt so i would like to know from the admin who actually does moderate the moderaters ???

.

We've had these sort of discussions before without ever getting any straight answers so i'd like to bring it up again .

I'm fully aware that that i've had my own run-ins with people on this board and as long as it's a fair fight i see no problem with that, as in, as long as both parties are able to say their piece then fair enough... but when it's a one way bullyfest with a Moderater who likes to directly bait and your not allowed to argue back without being infracted ...well i think that's just not right . I mean it's not like i'm the only person who has had the same treatment . I am sick and tired of seeing the same person bully and harrass people time and time again .



I can name many people who have been run off this board by moderaters .



So to Tombstone, lots of people have made complaints about bias treatment by mods (not all of them- let me make that clear ) and they are still allowed to openly mock members without a care in the world .

What i would like to know is why are they allowed to get away with it and why are they allowed to treat their friends differently to the people they have had open disagreements with .

....... and for the record i will also state here that i will never respond to Spot again on this site . Thankyou

I'm not even fully aware of who all the moderators are having been away for a while, so I couldn't begin to guess who is in charge of who.



I hope this doesn't lead to another long arguement though, as has been the case before.

Tomstone is admin...he ultimately moderates the mods. The mods also moderate each other. They do a fantastic job here.

Iv'e only been here 4 months/ish and we have already had a thread exactly like this one, why the need for another???

I think it is because the guy(spot) really does appear to have a major 'woody' when it comes to pants... as Pants does SPOT...so he should moderate by example and just stay the hell away from her IMO. To NOT do so, leaves the average citizen questioning where he gets off telling anyone else their behavior needs modification.

I like spot.... but he should not be sniping at anyone and then call anyone else (RJ for example) to task for ruining threads for anyone else. Or he can....but he should not be doing it while having the ability to exercise any kind of authority on this site.

Then again, I think Pants knows who runs the show here and who to contact if she has a grievance.

These kind of threads are a pain in the ass, IMO. But we suffer through simply because we DO have 'general chit chat' areas...:wah:

edit: For 'gods sake' RJ don't go thinkin' Im getting the warm fuzzies for ya, okay?:p:wah:

If you have an issue with a post by anyone, please hit the "report a post" button. Moderators get infractions too. A couple infractions = no more moderator.

And I forgot to mention - FG does not have moderators in the usual sense.

Their main purpose is to keep the place clean of SPAM and Porn.

If you want a highly moderated forum where every post is flagged for moderation, this is not the place for you.

In addition, FG has topics that many other forums wouldn't touch with a ten foot pole. So with that in mind, in order to participate, having a thin skin is not an advantage.

And comments above about another re-hash of this thread is correct.

Pants, you know what to do. FG doesn't need another one of these threads.

I'm going to close this thread.
