You can get 12 year olds talking a lot of sense, and 40 year olds purposefully breaking rules and trolling / flaming the boards.

I see it happen, I have been on the end of both. Age is irrelevant on the forums, quality of posting is what it is about and that is something everyone can do no matter what age.

I did read the whole thread believe it or not.

lol well why comment then when someone else already raised that point?

well something needs to be done to curb the abuse that gets thrown about, the rule breaking and general sillyness posts. Its ok to have a laugh obviously but some people in here are just.... bizzare
 
See the RTM button, then use it. :)

Or add me to msn, and send anything my way that needs sorting.

Mods do not read every single post on here, but someone will thats why RTM is enabled and one of the reasons my msn is still up now im a UB.

I thought I could contribute by adding my opinion that bad posters may seem 14, but they can be 40 and post like that. I had a valid point to raise that was not already so I raised it.
 
RTM does not always work though does it, I've seen times where this place has had no 'authority'... ie night time like this.

Obviously during the day we're ok, and the mods do seem to pick up most stuff pretty quickly.. but they also don't have as much trolling to deal with compaired to a few years back. I can remember accounts getting nuked left right and centre, week bans etc doesn't seem to happen as much.... maybe they're getting soft?

/runs for hidy hole

out of interest, what powers of moderation do you have as a UB?
 
As a UB I point things out for dons and Commissario's to sort out. Carry the weight of a Don but without the powers, I have a check on power before anything gets done.

Bans, well I can say I have had 20+ people banned from here, in the month and 3 days that im a UB. Just me this is asking about things relating to.

This forum gets moderated left right and center, you never see 95% of it, the dons do loads of work, and the UB's do just as much.

You can't comprehend the amount that goes on. The deleted thread section, for the threads that are deleted with comments, that is the third largest section on here.

GD and Archieves beat it, tell me the dons don't do anything!

RTM does work, and if you feel it does not: [email protected] and I will see to it.

If you think these forums do not get moderated then you are certainly wrong, just it all goes on without people knowing.
 
UB are here for helping out the Dons in finding problem posts, users, and sorting out other problems that are within our power to help with. We can delete our posts / threads, and that's about it.

As Yewen said, most people probably wont even notice how much goes on in the background, as a lot of problem threads will just get moved without people noticing, and going about their business.

no no you pick me up wrong young man, what I am saying is at certain times of the day ie 2:00 onwards there is less MOD/UB coverage...

I have never doubted the work that goes into it, I was a moderator on hardwarecentral for nearly three years back in my school/college days and that took a fair bit of personal commitment, for in all honesty bugger all in return but that was my choice :)
 
At the end of the day, very few people are ever actually on at silly times, i.e. between 2 & 6, and even if problem posts are actually that bad, they're going to be there, for what, 3 or 4 hours athe most, it's not as if RTM sends out a donsignal, they'll get dealt with as fast as possible when a mod is around for the job.

all I can say is nananananananananana DON MAN! :D sorry....


all I am saying is there no longer seems to be running battles between users and moderators anymore, when this place used to ripe for it.

I'm not having a go at you OcUK army people
 
Why would there be a running battle?

The moderators on this forum are not elitists, and do not crave power as afterall it is a forum. All of them do it for the good of the community that I know, which is the way to have it.

Good community and a mod team that is friendly and listens to the user base is a good thing.

Price check forum suggestion for a move posted, Minstadave alerted for discussion in Speakeasy and within 4 hours the Price Checks was no longer a sub forum. It does happen, just has to be a good suggestion that everyone will agree with for the good of the forum, not create another spam fest. :p
 
I just remember lots and lots of arguments over deleted threads and mysterious temp bans etc, resulting in people banned, resulting in people asking, resulting in those who asked getting blah blah blah it doesn't really matter that much jeez :rolleyes:

you can say that now and I would agree with you yes, but that wasn't certainly always the case in the past... and I'm talking 5-6 years ago.. a certain man with blue in his name iirc. But you boys do a fine smashing job! :)

/pat on back

I didn't open this thread in order to make a spamfest, I can't help what people do with my threads!
 
Changes are sometimes for the better. :) Just how I personally feel before I was UB, now I am one of course its the best mod team this forum has seen. :o

And this is certainly not a spamfest, but a decent debate in GD, a very rare thing and I would give it 5* if I did things like that. :)

I know what used to go on, been on here since Jan 02 so got a fair bit of posting history behind me. :)

But on the modding note, seriously drop me an email or add me to MSN, I will sort things that are bugging you if they warrant it. Its what UBs 'do' bar making tea. :p

Im off now, catch you later.

Oh and to get back on topic.

Underboss Avatar is THE best one of the bunch. It is the only perk of the position, no real power on your own but can get what you would do as a Don done still, but get this really nice avatar.

UB Ava > yours tbh.

Those two could have Man of Idiocy awards, or just give one to Megzy for all the abuse she puts up with when she makes a thread. :p

And which avatar is the only one to have a gun out in. ;)

BANG! and the thread is gone, but not with a hammer, a gun. :D
