I'll address your points in order.

1) Make the probation reason clear so this poster knows not to do that in future, since at the moment he has no idea what thing was wrong, and thus cannot change his behaviour.
2) Applying rules unevenly leads to mods getting jumped on for the slightest mistake.
3) Not investigating reports is rather silly and leads to people getting probated for the crime of being reported just to deal with it in the future.
4) Responding to genuine questions with ridiculous sarcasm and overt D&D style pointscoring like the explicit mentioning of usernames that were changed by an Admin 'to be funny' sort of flies in the face of Ralp asking for people to stop shitposting in this thread. What does your post achieve here? Or was it just made to be needlessly antagonising?

I'm pretty sure one of my bans is for refusing to acknowledge Joe Flacco's elite status, unironically.

You havent offended me at all. You're just ignoring all the questions in a serious post and then giving it a poo poo post answer. How is that contributing to this thread in any way? You lot complain that you get nothing but negative feedback and over reaction and yet you cant have the courtesy to reply genuinely to a proper question. Do you not see why this antagonises people?

XyloJW posted:

Except my response wasn't a shitpost. You just seem to think it was because I used your username (). I politely gave you three possible explanations of that probation that explained why no one else got probated and you got pissed that I referred to you by the wrong name and insisted that mods should read and judge every post in every gameday thread before issuing a short probation, you nut.

I don't know, it's Christmas time so I haven't had time to fully debrief said mod, but I promise it's my highest priority right now.

You made a lovely one liner at the end of your post regarding overturning an already finished probation

So is this just like a thing where you've argued about refereeing so much you've forgotten how to switch that off in every other part of your life?

That isnt what happened at all and you're ignoring everything else in the post. You made a lovely one liner at the end of your post regarding overturning an already finished probation and did the typical D&D method of typing out an offensive username to try and 'own' the person that has it. I never once said they should read and judge every post in a game day thread.

Stuff like this too


Doesnt help either now does it?

A good mod prank is to make posting in GBS illegal tomorrow so that posters are forced to spend time with friends and family who love them very much on Christ's special day

CowboyKid posted:

Why not ask the mod who made the probation explain why he did it instead of guessing as to why?

And now we can call people fags Kewpuh?

Earthy Ape Unit posted:

Has anyone looked into this irc connection and who is pulling the strings here?

I want probation decisions made by the moderation team, not goons who sit in a football irc channel.

Please confirm.

What's the point of this thread if suggestions and questions are mocked and ignored?

Tell us what "bad posts" are and why. Let people know what they can and cannot post.

Be consistent.

This is a website that people have paid for. If you complained to Netflix or some service and got a response of
"You're a bad customer " or "LoL u gay" it would be unacceptable.

Now because you are unpaid janitors doesn't mean you shouldn't try to make the place better, but explain why you ban somebody, not just "Bad Posting"

If you don't want people to use certain words, fine make rules and stand by them. Don't ban for jokes you don't find funny or posters who you disagree with or annoy you and your posting buddies.

I like reading the forums, but they used to be better.

Ready to be ignored and/or mocked.
