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.

As an ex room moderator, you should know better than anyone that moderators aren’t robots and aren’t going to handle every situation in exactly the same way. If every mod responded identically to every report, there wouldn’t be any need for judgment calls in the first place.

You also kind of contradict yourself here. You’re criticizing moderators for supposedly making their own decisions, while describing situations where you stepped in and told a moderator what punishment they should issue. That’s not really helping moderation, that’s just mini-modding.

Reporting an issue is one thing. Trying to dictate how staff should handle every situation is another. Different moderators may choose different actions based on the context they can see, prior history, evidence available, or site policy. Consistency is important, but expecting every moderator to react exactly the same way every time isn’t realistic.

And honestly, mini-modding often just creates another problem for moderators to deal with instead of helping resolve the original one.

Plain and simple, rules are as posted... Especially with discrimination offenses or sexual offenses. Thos are the most common ones youguys get, so no one in the moderation team should have an issue with those. Here is a quote from the rules in the Teen/Lesbian Teen & Gay-Teen Chat section. "As is the case with all of our chat rooms bigoted and hateful speech will result in a ban. Since race, religious and gay/lesbian specific chats are prone to this type of behavior there will be no warnings given and violators face being banned from ALL rooms!" Anyone who has been modding for more than 2 weeks should know this.

Also, Hayleyy, the statement that I try to say how staff handle EVERY situation is very much untrue and false. In the last week, I have let 1 mod know that a person being sexual in my and others dms, that is not a mute but a ban. It's not mini-modding, it's a simple assist because obviously that mod must have been confused and needed guiding. He even thanked me for helping him correct his mistake.

you have banned my VIP Account because someone this Chaotic user thought i was someone that she had a dispute with for a wrong letter that i typed on my phone. I didnt even know what happened back then. No warning and nothing just direct ban on a paid account. Even if I tried to apply for ban lift nothing happened... so dont try to explain to us here your garbage rules...Leave this post on because I have saved the page as pdf and i will post it in every review site I will find. Someone thought i was some random user and I had a VIP account. Directly without even double checking you gave me a ban in the beginning of June. So now what do you try to explain here? You allow all your friends to say wahtever they want to bully and harrash other users and you just ban random people like me with out reason. There is no single rule that you follow you just do whatever it comes to your head.

P.S
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.
What a nice playground you have made here to play with your friends. No wonder why this place has only 1. something on trustpilot.

I am challenging you all mods and sub mods and so on. Why is my application for ban lift then not replied ? For a single letter that came out from a smartphone. I am challenging you all. Does anyone of you have a reply? No. None has all you are the same just to grab the money from us.

It was not me you...it was my friend that posted this but this is how much brain you have in your head. No wonder why all they love you and this chat has become a disgrace in the end because of people like you .. and you have been in to the army as well......this one also is saved in case you take it down.
