Abusing mod powers
 

Okay so, this might just be me... but let me explain a situation. Lets call the mod in question 'Q'

So a member posted 'personal information' about me on the thread, leading him a to a ban, X (tha boss) told mod Q to ban him. Mod Q banned him and was very very happy with his choice to do so, and was saying it was easily a ban-able offence and completely out of line.

Now i'd like to make clear now i don't really care about whatever that member was doing or saying about me or w/e pictures he was posting from my facebook, water under the bridge i dont care... BUT

Later on in the day i accidentally offended moderator Q by saying making a suggestion and not realising i had said something offensive, i apologised when he told me i had caused offence.

A couple hours later i see the banned member post a new thread, i questioned it because he had been banned, and had orders from admin to be banned.. so i asked moderator Q about it, and he told me he had unbanned him.

Now i ask...

why would mod Q - who was so eager to tell me about him banning the member for being so out of line and quite proud he had lost his ban-hammer virginity - suddenly decide to un-ban the member once i had ACCIDENTALLY caused him offence, and swiftly apologise for the offence caused but he was too much of a bitch to accept it and move on from it when i didn't KNOW it was offensive.

this thread reeks of estrogen, yo...lol

that being said...i'm interested in how this is gonna play out.

I un-banned Rain - Matrix as i was informed to do so by Ticket, and to just let Rain - Matrix know that its a warning and not to do so again... ...

Your welcome for me doing a favour for you tho.. Wont happen again...

and please child, if you've something to say, fucking say it... trying to look like your being cryptic an shit...

Wasn't really do me a favour, X asked you to ban him... not me. And i offend you and he's unbanned, what would anybody else think.

Whatever though :high:

Mod Q is new. I don't mean to put you down at all here V but it's a learning curve, he's probably been bombarded by the member in question and folded based on abuse/ill advice.

I sincerely hope it's nothing more sadistic than that anyway. I also hope this thread doesn't cost you a ban for hurting feelings by being honest; it doesn't merit a ban but if the mod in question hasn't developed the thick-skin or level head required yet it may be seen as offensive.

Edit: this isn't criticism, merely interest in the case at hand.

The offence he took was nothing to do with the ban, but yes it could be a learning curb, or it could be something personal. Either way if i get banned for this it's a joke lol

X didnt ask me... so your wrong there...

if you dont believe me V you can ask Ticket, he'll confirm what i said above...

He might've been un-banned because of a new rule was just made...

idk

There was no personal motive to ban or unban Rain - Matrix... I banned him i unbanned him, its no secret... dont know why she acting like its something massive adn all hush hush... i was following rules when i enforced the ban, and i was ALSO following rules when I unbanned him...

@ Verity there is no Abuse Of Mod powers, your knickers are in a twist cos i pulled you up on your comment... Grow Up Child

Have A Nice Day Now :)

^thats actually EXACTLY right... i was spoke to by Ticket (a new rule had been made due to this, and i was told to unban him)
