Mod Punishing People

[kjlitsqad]

Do your mods have their own rules? The other day, I reported a chat that someone was trying to be freaky with me and Benjamin Cole only muted that person, despite several people reporting. After I told him he needs to ban that user, he did. There was a user being homophobic in teen chat and Nemesis instead of getting the person banned because that's what it says in the rules, he just kept telling the people who were fighting the attacker that they needed to stop instead of actually handling the situation and getting the person out. Echelon and Mykel knew that AllsTheMusicMaker had a separate account, and she told me that they knew and showed me screenshots. They ignored the rules and decided to go with their own head to code their rule system for the site. I was just wondering if this was the case because the mods kind of have separate punishments for separate people. There is one mod shoutout though, SUMKINDOFWONDERFUL, she always stays on her A-Game and is always friendly when talking to users.

There are indeed set guidelines but individual modding comes down to individual people, their style of modding and what action they deem fit for what they see in front of them. It also isn't appropriate for another mod to step in and alter/undo/change something another mod's action. If an action taken isn't appropriate, an admin will no doubt step in to rectify both the situation and the action taken by said mod. As for the AllsTheMusicMaker situation, yes Mykel and I became aware of it but the situation was more complex than a straight up ban at that time since there were mitigating factors that gave the benefit of the doubt. She was instructed to make these factors known to the admin team and that they would deal with it as they saw fit which *could* result in an all out ban and that we would not be interfering, which is exactly what happened.
