Captain Ewok - Your Moderators for OT Need to be Replaced

[Pooky 3,784]

Yes, because that was such a mystery. Personally attacking members without using their names is not as slick as it seems, especially when it is very obvious who those members being attacked are.

True, which is why I don't indulge in the practice, just sit on the sidelines and munch popcorn

I cannot provide stats (only Ewok could), but I would guess that 50% of our mod activity is from OT and P&R. Also, most of the reports (I would guess 60%) are from the same ten members. Several of them are represented here. Enough said - except for those ten who will now scream about various terrible things without actually going elsewhwere. OMG Please.. Ewok, help us Mash the report button and scream... please... we ALL need to hear it

As NOT 'one of the 10', I think Ewok should answer your call for ' help'....and ours...and the folks in the upper forums who get hardly any mod attention.

I'm glad you admit you know you are being used by the same 10 folks in OT/PR; what is suprising is that your team let that happen effectively becoming a ' tool'...(lol) in a pointless argument between 2 or more posters in an OT forum; and using the weakest transgression to ban someone or delete a thread....I'm happy you find that funny.

When you are good at it it is easy.

Yes, Captain Ewok. Please post the stats with all the names, so that we can once, and for all, see if any that have pushed the report button once, twice, three times, a year, a month, a week, a day, or in the last 10 minutes, are as normal as we think we are, or some sort of mutant to be shunned and ridiculed.

Personally I think we should have a forum of Shame. Put all the locked threads, deleted threads so we know what juicy stuff happened. Also the mods can post stats of the whiners daily if they pushed the report button more than once a day. Also have a thread where we can see all the banned people so we can make fun of them especially since they can't reply.

Failing all that can we at least stickee the boobs thread?

But ... but ... don't you want everything kept anonymous?

I won't be there in shame but will definitely be there to give my 2 cents.

You SHOULD be eating potato chips. Reported.

Ewok needs to have a representative emoticon to that effect before it becomes a reportable offence.

As one of the ten, I am glad you find us so contemptible.

What I find contemptable is members using VJ as a social networking service, and acting like they have a right to burn resources needed by those that actually have an immigration issue to deal with. Things like policing by proxy, mashing the report button to force the mods to run in circles mediating some drama that you started, and screaming bloody murder when your wishes aren't followed.

Yes, because that was such a mystery. Personally attacking members without using their names is not as slick as it seems, especially when it is very obvious who those members being attacked are.

Funny, this is something you do all the time.

Being used to police that way is a source of unending frustration for us. As AJ has stated (among others), Ewok is reluctant to permanently ban the folks that take up so much of our time policing nothing. The regulars know it, and constantly push the TOS to the limit while reporting every violation (or imagined violation) from people they don't like. I agree with your initial point about folks in the upper forums needing our attention and help with the site. Please appreciate how tough it is to give them enough when four members in P&R are casting insults and posting porn links, then reporting each other ten times because they are so offended on religious grounds (just a made up example).
