A.I.M Chat about Graal Forums

[unixmad]

Kaimetsu, it is not fair to not give a chance to a team and complain about them after only a few days.

I have always supported you when you were moderator and trust me that i add lot of complain about you ! So i am really disapointed when i see you attacking people like that.

That's just going nowhere just ruining the friendship of this forum.

So please let the new team show what they can do and let's come back speaking about Graal and not forums rules.

You didn't really express yourself very clearly here. R0bin's story is pertinent, because it's almost identical to the situation here. Ignoring the problem may eventually make things less hectic, but it won't be any kind of solution.



Um. On the contrary, the problem is that they don't think it's professional enough. This isn't about strictness, it's about uneven moderation and illogical rulings.



"Every little thing"? Other than you two (and the people I banned, obviously) people rarely complained about my work. It was certainly never on the scale that the new supermods have achieved. What's the difference? Simple: The new supermods are making mistakes, and making the board a less fun environment.

Now, I'm not saying we should flame them for this. I'm not saying we should hunt them down and crucify them. We know that Unixmad isn't going to remove them (it's a matter of pride now), so the next best thing is to educate them. They don't understand the rules, so we explain them. All we ask in return is that they listen, and allow themselves to be taught. So far we haven't seen that.



Would ignoring the problem make me part of the solution? When you were dissatisfied with my performance as supermod, did you ignore it? Whom did you help on all those days? You complained both privately and publically, you have no right to condemn others for doing the same.



Being nice to everybody won't magically turn the moderators into competent people. Their mistakes and their laziness are real problems, and they need to be fixed. Your suggestion would merely give them free reign to moderate as poorly as before.
