Moderator double standards

juancho · **on:** October 11, 2007, 07:01:55 am

Since dktc was so kind to lock the rules thread, just brilliant!

Quote

How do you know nothing has been done about Iguana and the others' sigs?

Well obviously you can still see the signatures. Duh. They're still VISIBLE.

Stephen said he sent Iguana a PM and no response. That is also how I know. That was 2 days ago. In less than 24 hours Stephen manualy deleted my signature which is in compliance with the forum rules. Because of these inconsistent double standards I chose to air my grievances. Instead of getting a rational response from a responsible moderator I get your highly defensive and abusive response.

Quote

Do you have access to Stephen's and all other staff members' mailboxes?

Completely irrelevant. Stephen already said he tried to reach Iguana and no response. So Iguana's non compliant signature stays, among many others? Ok just ignore moderator PMs and nothing will be done. Note to moderators: Just delete the non-compliant signatures. StephenM obviously knows how.

No? Then why the **** are you running your month off?

Language!

Grow up. Be mature. Follow the rules.

First of all I'm older than you so have some respect! Second I am following forum rules.

Quote

Stop making unsound accusations, esp. ones towards our staff members.

How about instead of throwing a hissy fit you start enforcing your own forum rules? Locking the rules thread was classic.

Quote

edit: btw, you forgot to mention the possibility of account suspension, both in game and in forum.

Is that a threat? Talk about petty.

So really. A big round of applause to the classy moderators!

Well since StephenM chooses to reply in a locked thread so I can't reply and refute his false claim.

He claims my siggy was not in compliance.

This is a screenshot of StephenM's Private Message:

as you can see and verify on your own, this was my signature banner, which he includes a link to in his PM:

Exactly 1024x125

StephenM · **Reply #2 on:** October 11, 2007, 09:27:55 am

Ok then. You've got me there. I must be seeing things. :? Reinstate the signature if you will. And sorry about that.

juancho · **Reply #3 on:** October 11, 2007, 09:32:08 am

Stephen can you include width limits on signatures as well?

Just edit the forum rules thread. Maybe 460x125 max?

This is what I do on my forum. Instead of wasting time sending PMs, then being ignored anyway I just edit the offending members signature with this

Signatures may be a maximum of 480x100 pixels, and no larger than 30kb in size. Max. 2 lines of text. Refer to http://blahblah.showtopic=21690 for more details.

No 550px please.. see my sig.. its not that bad

StephenM · **Reply #5 on:** October 11, 2007, 10:03:20 am

We'll go for 600 then. It should be ok.

@Juancho,

I guess i would apologize for you not having earned my respect; I would apologize for you being older than I am but behaving otherwise; I would apologize not letting you know about every single email/pm I sent out regarding broken rules; and I apologize for reacting to your completely unfound accusation to the AM-team

Daemonfly · **Reply #7 on:** October 11, 2007, 11:51:53 am

The AM-Team.

Is that like the A-Team?

Do you guys have a sweet AM van? (pics?)

Jps · **Reply #8 on:** October 11, 2007, 11:54:33 am

I don't think Stephen owns a "AM" van.. because his staffs are from all around the world.. including Hong Kong.. Texas.. Dublin

I guess I would call you a smartass troll moderator but I won't. You're obviously missing a few upstairs. Total waste of time.

dktc · **Reply #10 on:** October 11, 2007, 12:56:13 pm

Behind every smartasses, there are reasons and circumstances. If the circumstances were not created for them, they could do nothing.

Regarding the waste of time, let's just say that I have 2+ years of real life rule enforcement experiences, and leave it as that. You could go around every corner and bring about all distractions that you could, but to us, it is always back to the same place (what you really did).

juancho · **Reply #11 on:** October 11, 2007, 01:48:24 pm

Was that an admission that you're missing a few upstairs? That response was worded so poorly it might as well be Chinese. :shock:

Here's what I propose & this is truly a novel idea. English should be the native language for any moderator on this forum since English is the primary language used on this forum.

So dktc and your A-team, let me show you what a good job you're doing as a forum moderator.

Note: all the following siggies are in violation of your forum rules. Apparently you missed these with your smug AE attitude.

It took me about 5 minutes to find these signature banners.

The kicker is one of these siggies belongs to AM staff which you so readily defend, rather blindly, instead of listening to valid points.

Those 2 years of moderating experience really show

And why should that rule be made up? I think you're just trying to find some reasons to blame dktc for your bad mood. Just go outside, smoke a cig and calm down...
'cause at the moment you are replacing your arguments by insults (which isn't smart while talking to an admin)

Smoking is bad for your health

Not only "at the moment" :wink:
He has been doing that for a while in quite some posts.
