Ugh... Another spammer?

In my opinion, I think that there should be more off topic mods. I've seen A LOT and encountered in the past 24 hours:

-Flaming
-Fighting
-Things that other forums are required for.
-Stupidity

I sincerely think that spam is going on there the most, No, not because the spam forum is a subforum in that section, but because there are people trying to make intelligent conversation with nothing to be there. And, people have been accusing me of back seat modding, and I can't stand that.


I think a few more rules should be on sythe. For example:

User A calls User B a back seat mod.
User B gets angry and engages into a flame war thus causing lag in that section.
User A flames back at User B.
User A reports User B for flaming.
User B reports User A for flaming.

I think calling somebody a back seat mod should literally be an automatic infraction, UNLESS a mod says it himself.

If a mod reads this and thinks it's spam, please close it as I don't want to cause lag here as I do use these forums every day. And flamers, get out and don't post. I only want positive ideas in this topic.

 

Calling someone a back seat mod is spam.

Backseat modding is not spam.

Just report the posts.

HEAVENLORD FOR OFFTOPIC!

 

Nvm, I read wrong.

Yes calling people a backseat mod is spam, as Darthatron said...

How does this cause lag, lol

 

Sounds good to me. And Heavenlord would be very great there .

 

I know that. I said that. What? :'(

 

Sorry I read it wrong. =/ I corrected myself already

 

Or maybe globals could get off there lazy asses and help out?


Besides flame wars are fun to watch and fun to take part in.

 

I've been reported like 40 times in the past 3 days for supposedly spamming, flaming, and trying to pick fights. I don't see why it would be bad for my to tell off the person ATTEMPTING to start a fight with me. If you see that somebody reported me, please go back to the original thread and read why it would have started.

 

Then don't piss people off, and stop backseat modding .

I completely disagree with this suggestion. Backseat Moderating should be (and from what I remember was) against the rules. It's annoying, and there's a report post button for a reason.

 

^ LOL! Trying to be smart fail.


Also, I have to agree with another mod or two needed there. People "back-seat mod" because of the lack of moderation going on there.

 

If I was back seat moderating, I would ask why they would even dare be in my presence or authority. Too bad I'm not. And as Darthatron said, it IS spam if you say back seat moderating.

Oops.

No, that's not backseat moderating. Backseat moderating is failing to report the post so it shows up in the report section which moderators DO frequent. They can't go through every thread all the time, that's just boring, annoying, and pointless when you have such a feature available for use.

Either report their wrong doing appropriately, or keep your mouth shut and don't worry about it . Telling someone they're breaking the rules is a form of trolling, which always results in a flame war... so..

YOU STARTED IT.

/pwn

 

Telling people that they've posted in the wrong section isn't back seat moderating. It's giving them a heads up that if they do that frequently, they will most likely be infracted or worse, banned.

 

Yes it is.

 

Maybe you should read the whole post before you jump to assumption.

 

I read it and stated "Yes it is." because, guess what, it is.


"Jump to assumption"? That's new. lol

 

It is. But it's not against the rules unless someone else had already said it. But if you say "that's backseat moderating" then that is spam and you will be infracted for it.

 

Well, it won't happen again. Thanks for the heads up.
