Perceptions of sciforums moderation

Pretty much. Like I mentioned earlier, you and Tiassa are two sides of the same coin, except his word count is *much* higher.

Quite often, what Tiassa spends pages writing could be condensed into a paragraph or two. The simple fact of the matter is that he doesn't have the decency to do so.

So, I got warned for insulting a member, by *Skinwalker*. Now how's *that* for irony? Another example of the arbitrary moderation on this shit hole of a forum

and this is the moderator of ethics, morality and justice. did charles manson turn the position down first?

 

Yeah, it's truly fucked up that we have such an individual moderating Ethics, Morality and Justice.

Some moderators have been in their position for too long, and they have grown arrogant, cocky and haughty. They know nothing can touch them. It's time to prove them wrong. It's time for them to be torn forcibly from their thrones and throw into the plebeian masses.

 

Hey. Let's not sully Che's good name by making such a comparison.

i think, in this particular case, he was a mod before the forum was sold.

 

Look at how they stick together. One step in the right direction is to get rid of the moderator forum or better yet have it read only except for administrators.

 

Holy.
Forget to take your meds again of what?

Calm down; it's an online forum, not your life.
Although, if it is your life, perhaps it's time for some introspection.

 

To be honest, tiassa is the only mod who is completely wrong for the forum they are modding. He would be ok in Art and Culture.

 

hmmm, i am very calm. cant someone have an opinion?

lets see the title of the thread is what?

 

No reason to strong arm me gloucon.

 

I didn't, nor could I.

There's a difference between having an opinion and ranting incessantly.

 

Comandante Monistario? Is that you?

 

i didnt think your comment was fair. i am not ranting here.

took me a few minutes to realize where that was from. eddie is one of my all time favorites.

Why?

 

I find the moderation here rather acceptable, of course flawed personally as moderators usually are: most moderators do it for the power trip, and getting a power trip off of moderatoring a internet forum is a level of pathetic that has never existed before! Besides that point though they function well enough from my perspective, I've seen far more power triping waste of oxygen on some forums and complete anarchy on others, and sciforums has a health liberal (or lax) feel in between. I this is coming from someone who troll far and wide across the Internets, from the fascist totalitarianism of the nasa rejects of unmannedspaceflight.com to the pedophile and furry orgies of 7chan.

 

There is a consistent bias in the religion forum which is studiously ignored by mods and admin alike. Posts defaming Muslims have only now, after constant complaints started receiving any attention at all and only if they are reported. In any case, no matter how hateful the posts against Muslims are I have never once seen one that was deleted simply for being hate speech or even off topic.

But a post on a response by a saudi blogger to the fitna movie giving the link of a video made in response to Fitna is conveniently termed as offtopic and deleted. Even after reports and complaints hate speech generalizing against all Muslims in the thread is also conveniently ignored. Apparently one cannot have too much discussion about the "evil" Muslims but any mention of a rational response is off topic and will be summarily deleted the moderator of the Religion forum himself encourages ragging of theist members and continues to openly flame and insult posters while deleting any opinions about his opinions made in the same thread.

This is an obvious abuse of moderator power and again, complaints are overlooked or given platitudinous responses by admin.
