[Question] What does it take for someone to be actually banned here - Page 2

Klunk1234 · 12-10-2015, 07:13 AM

Somebody was banned for his comments recently, but he is back. He only received a temporary ban. So he has been warned, if he does it again, he will kick out from the forum permanently.

Jester explained to me those rules few months ago.

I kinda wish the mods would be a little more talkative and interact with us more. It doesn't sit right with me that they aren't as involved in the forum as the rest of us.

I think they see all we say and everything we do, and want as little as possible to do with us.

Do not test the 'Drome gods on Mount Olympus, lest they strike us down with holy fire.

But yeah, I get what you're saying. What little I've interacted with them, they all seem like pretty great people.

I wonder how many times I've been reported.

I know I personally don't have time to do much socializing. I'll get post reports, check the threads, and mostly just lurk about and make sure everything's alright.

I was a lot more active back when I was in college (so many years ago!), as was Jester, Kali, HT, and others... but a lot of the members from back then have moved on to more job/family responsibilities. Considering the fact we're older than 70% of the drome's active population now...

Have you and the other moderators discussed the possibility of promoting a new mod or two? I'm sure it's at least crossed your minds.

Too many assholes in the gene pool, and not enough nice people.

I pitched a few names in the hat over the past year, but none of the suggested people have been empowered, so either my suggestions aren't good enough or they weren't taken seriously enough to be considered.

Was worth a shot.

And no one in power would accept him. Sad but true.

*Powder* · 01-06-2016, 07:46 AM

Noooooooooooooo.

It's like being a manager; it's hard to get a good one.

*Powder* · 01-06-2016, 07:51 AM

Quite true. Though there are a few good eggs who play background roles, probably.

*CyberCubed* · 01-06-2016, 11:42 AM

The only person I would have nominated for a mod is Cipher, but he's not around anymore. Now he posts on a DBZ forum exclusively.

DrSpengler too, but he doesn't venture out of the comic section so I doubt he would even want to be a mod.

*CylonsKlingonsDaleksOhMy* · 01-06-2016, 11:51 AM

CYBERCUBED FOR MODERATOR!!!

Let's start a campaign.

We really do need more mods, and soon. I think it's time for a new generation to take over the oldies so the old mods can rest. Can give a fresh new beginning, but whatever works.

*TheSkeletonMan939* · 01-06-2016, 01:53 PM

I'd vote for Cubed. Seriously.

People make fun of him, and I guess some of it's justified, but ya' gotta love the guy.

*plastroncafe* · 01-06-2016, 03:12 PM

No I really really don't.

Having a profession in the field I view it like an in-house school administrator ( assistant principal/principal). You have to run your building. Take car of financial and schedule matters and be the go between of a teacher and central office (Krang/Shredder). While Krang would take care of the fincial distribution to maintain the site the rest is similar. Despite the other duties of a school administrator what does he/she deal with more than anything? Managing discipline of unruly school children. They have to take it case by case and cannot express favoritism and go by a combination of personal judgment and school policy in every situation. He/she can not have conscience and unconscious bias on certain ones that get under their skin. Their hands are tied by even higher ups in what discupline they can do. They have to work within that restraints to hope person x will learn from the situation and not become an usual suspect. If a justified sentence is carried out and the person actually learns from it all will be the better for it.

Cubed as a mod would be interesting to say the least
