Look
if you two are going to delete every post that I do here just because I am an alliance player then fucking say so, I will quit posting.
If not stop your double standard bullshit. I have already pointed out 5 posts including the one by Tsa'ah that was off topic and contained TBF and they have not been removed

The ones before his post were left, and included some of yours. All others were removed. There is no conspiracy or anything sinister here. If anyone else posts something along those lines, they will be removed, regardless of their faction with WoW.

This is the third post about this issue within about 30 minutes.
How bout giving the mods a few minutes to fix the problem?
It looks like CT has already deleted all the posts after Tsa'ah's warning about going off-topic and creating a new post about the rivalry.

You sir, are off topic. Mods please remove his post or edit it so that he praises the democratic party.

This isn't any new way of doing it.
If threads begin to go off topic, there is generally a warning.
If further off topic posts are posted, they get teh assploded.
Posts prior to the warning are generally left unless they are against TOS.
It's not new.
It's not just you.
It's the paranoia.
Yeah, I just noticed that I am being repressed as well. PB's diagram explaining the difference between A, B, & C teams was deleted, as well as my subsequent replies!!!
DENNIS:
Oh! Come and see the violence inherent in the system! Help! Help! I'm being repressed!
ARTHUR:
Bloody peasant!
DENNIS:
Oh, what a give-away. Did you hear that? Did you hear that, eh? That's what I'm on about. Did you see him repressing me? You saw it, didn't you?

A couple of points here...
A. Crying for CT or Tsa`ah to delete posts in a folder where they are not a moderators for is dumb, sarcasm or not.
B. Replying to every post saying xyz is off topic is just as off topic as the post before it. Use the report button if you feel like being an ass otherwise just stop.
C. We mods have lives too. We don't devote 24 hours a day to reading topics sometimes it takes some time for us to get around to it. Especially when you go about reporting posts the wrong way so we aren't notified. You can thank yourself for it taking so long for us to get around to editing the posts for not using the proper function.
D. This is your chance to correct your own thread and either continue your hissyfit or let it die. If the trend of off topic posts continue and this thread becomes problematic eventually I'll be forced to close it. Consider this your (everyone) warning to stay on topic.

I stepped into the folder in the absence of CT to curb yet another topic from being derailed. You received a U2U informing you of the action taken. I posted the U2U in the violations folder. At that point it was CT's prerogative to replace the post, disagreeing with my action, or leave it be, thus agreeing with my action. I would not have taken the described action in a folder moderated by more than one person, or a folder pertaining to a topic I was unfamiliar with.
Overstepping my bounds? Perhaps slightly, then again I'm familiar with CT and wouldn't have performed an action she wouldn't have agreed with.
B. it is ok for mods to make off topic posts and other mods do nothing about it
An off-topic post in the form of a warning by a mod is not subject to the same guidelines as an off topic post made by someone who wishes to continue a conflict in a thread that has nothing to do with said conflict.
C. When mods are viewing the thread the same time I am, their excuse about using the proper channel is lame
Become familiar with the mechanics of this forum before making assumptions. I can open a thread and walk away from the computer and return an hour later and have no idea that several posts have been made unless I refresh. Unless I log out, I am still shown as viewing a page for some time after the window is closed.
I know I'm not going to change my browsing habits to satiate your dysfunction as I'm sure no one else on this forum will either.
D. Funny how you talk about so long to remove others posts when my posts get removed immediately
From reading the gist of CT's subsequent post in the violation folder, the post was nothing more than another trolling attempt.
One of these days people will come to understand my analogy of dogs, dog shit, and the human intellect.

guess Tsa'ah's response just blew that particular theory out of the water. Not that I'm saying he was wrong to delete it because I don't even know what the thread was at when it was edited, but obviously a mod who is not a mod of a particular folder can still go in and delete/edit posts as Tsa'ah said he did it for CT in her absence.

The individual moderators are free to decide what is off-topic and what is not in their individual folders. TOJ, you will be aware of every post of yours that is deleted or edited. You may, or may not, be aware of every post, made by anyone, that is deleted or edited.
While you may find something off-topic in relation to how YOU see a given thread, the moderator of that topic may view things differently. It is the moderator who will make the decision, and that moderator will edit/delete posts as they decide on the relevancy of said posts, and as they are able to do so.
As has often been said, if one brings oneself to the forefront of scrutiny, one is often scrutinized more than one would like. That is a fact of life.

It is possible for a moderator to step in for another moderator, if it is deemed to be in the best interests of a given thread, or the boards in general. It isn't done that often, because it doesn't need to be. However, when it becomes necessary, it can be done.
The moderators work it out between themselves. Thankfully, they're fully capable of doing so. If they need an arbiter, I'm here. It's never been needed. They're a darned good group! :)
Trinitis
06-22-2005, 08:55 PM
Not really Jolena. As Tijay stated, it takes a hearty workaround for us to be able to deal with problem posts in a section not governed by us. But, having this in place is two fold.
1. It allows us to fix something that REALLY needs to be fixed, if no one else is around.
2. Because it is a workaround, it is time consuming and not used lightly.
It's amazing at how people (not directed at you Jo, just in general) tend to think we mods are without reins. There are checks and balances on these boards.
If I delete something in my topic. I have to make note of my change, with my reasoning. Then Harmnone can over ride any change I make, if she feels it was wrong. Even if she agrees, Kranar can over ride us both and place the post back.
It's not like we do our job willy nilly and do what ever we want.

As I said, I'm not placing blame on anyone because I didn't witness any of that mess in the thread so I can't really form an opinion of it. Just found it interesting one mod said that mods can't edit in folders they aren't assigned to and just after that, Tsa'ah came in to say he did just that. Call me curiously interested in that clash of statements I spose. :)

As Adri stated, it's a work around and it's not something that is done all that frequently.
Tijay was not incorrect in saying that a mod isn't able to make changes outside of their assigned folders. It requires the thread to be moved, edited, and then moved back. Couple those actions with the normal required proceedure (U2U and documentation in the mod folder) and it is a timely process.
The action would not have been taken had CT, an admin, or supermod been on at the time. Had there been other mods around, a short discussion would have taken place before action was taken.

Hopefully, I explained that in my post, Jolena. I do want you posters to understand how the boards, and moderating, work.
While it is possible for the moderator to work in a topic not his/her own, it's not an easy thing to do, and is done sparingly. It is only done when it is felt to be best for the boards. If there's disagreement, I'll look into it. Fortunately, our mods are a good team, and work it out between themselves, since it's impossible for anybody to be here 24/7. :)

Since Tsa`ah was the only one available at the time of the post, he took care of it for me. He has my permission to step in and take care of something going on in my folders if I'm not around, supermods or admins.
You really are overdramatizing this event. Tsa`ah deleted one post and told you about it. I deleted another one that was posted in the same fashion and I told you about it as well. I put a disclaimer in the thread that any further off topic posts would be deleted. You chose to post 2-3 more times afterwards. The deletion of the posts should not have been a mystery to you.
You're not the only one I've moderated today, and there have been other posts that have been deleted or edited by others. You don't see them complaining this much. And no, none of them were alliance. :rolleyes:

Warnings are often put in threads that are veering off-topic. It's fine to have a little joking camaradarie between posters, once in awhile. These boards are here for enjoyable conversation and exchange of information. They are not exclusively for either. They're for both.
Once a warning statement has been entered into a thread, by a moderator, the troublesome behavior should be stopped. If it isn't, the moderator who warned has every right to start deleting/editing posts that fly in the face of that warning. The moderator has no responsibility to start deleting/editing retroactively. If that were the case, we'd be deleting/editing forever. That ain't gonna happen.
When a moderator warns posters to get back on topic, just get back on topic. That way, there won't be any problems with deleted/edited posts.

He said to stop posting rivalry between the two guilds. He also said to start another thread if you wanted to, in so many words.
No other TBF vs CD posts were made after that except for yours, which were deleted. The thread was eventually split so it's all moot now anyway. I don't know of anywhere else where it was asked to not post the rivalry and it continued and only yours were deleted.
First, your game was ruined and you rerolled Alliance. Now your life is being ruined because you are Alliance. Maybe you need to /quit life? Non-fatally of course.

First and foremost, you do not dictate what rights I have as a moderator. The action taken was in effort to stop the trolling and derailing in that thread, and hopefully in that folder. I've explained the why and the how, CT did not have an issue with the action, neither has the administration. Your feelings on the subject are not my concern, only the thoughts of other staff members.
Also elaborate on my "off-topic" posts. Do keep in mind that the final say on that subject is at the discretion of CT, the supermods, and the administration. Not you.
then all the mods continue to allow the same guild continue posting off topic posts.
Again, elaborate and keep my previous statement in mind.

no the TOS does
The role of the Moderator is to guide discussions within his or her respective forum.
so start following the TOS

Incorrect. 100% bullshit and nothing more.
I made a post telling you, and everyone else, to drop the Carp vs TBF bs from threads not pertaining to that subject and that if the subject were to continue, to create a thread FOR that subject.
At which point you posted a response that had NOTHING to do with either subject, but attacked Harm, who had nothing to do with the thread.
Get your facts straight cry baby.

I thought Kranar said he didnt care about the "plz die!" statements?

WRONG! Tsa`ah does have the right to edit/delete in thread that he does not moderate if he sees that thread becoming a problem. I have stated that before.
Once Tsa`ah has made that choice, it is up to the moderator of the thread in question to decide, once they're aware of the problem, whether Tsa`ah's decision will stand, or whether it will be changed. That is exactly what was done for the situation in question.
Why don't you just admit that you won't be happy until he is no longer a moderater and call it a day. The mod of the folder had no problem with him deleting the off-topic posts so why are you still taking issue with this?

Sorry, but it does not. The TOS dictates guildlines for conduct, nothing more.
so start following the TOS

My posting habits are within the confines of the TOS. Again, you do not dictate how I am to perform my function as a mod.

TOJ - anything you say will not sway the mods and above. You've stated your case, they stated theirs, theirs overruled.
If you don't like this playground, take your soiled diaper to another one who will coddle you and bend to your every whim.

this is the paragraph from the TOS to refresh memory
The role of the Moderator is to guide discussions within his or her respective forum.
Since not all forums contain the same theme or subject matter, the Moderator is necessary in order to focus on the needs of a particular forum and direct it towards its best interest as established by its theme and subject. This requires that the Moderator have the ability to institute certain forum specific guidelines on how discussion is to take place. The Moderator may at his or her discretion enforce the rules of this document within his or her folder;
however, that task ultimately lies with the Super Moderator and the Administrator.

It is also our job to make sure other areas of the fourms follow the same rules, and, if we must, step in to make sure this happens.
Just because you can sit around all day every day playing games and bitching on PC, don't mean us mods can.

That's really what it's starting to come across as. Just stop TOJ.

As the Administrator, I have stated my stance on this subject. The two moderators are in agreement that what was done was the right thing to do. I will back them in their decision. They're working as a team, and that is exactly what I want them to do.
You have stated your displeasure, TOJ. This, you have a right to do. However, unless you have something to add that has not been said before, ad nauseum, I believe the subject has been covered. We are now
:deadhorse:
If this thread continues along current lines, with nothing more than repeated arguments, it will be closed. If anyone has something new to add, we'd be happy to hear it. Otherwise, it has all been said.

Since you want to quote the TOS, I'll throw a few your way.
Pertaining to your new beef (once you found out I wasn't a mod of the WoW folder).
The aforementioned body, known hereafter as the “Staff” of the Players’ Corner, shall continually work together to further and improve the Players’ Corner.
Nuff said on that.
Since you're so familiar with the TOS, I'm sure you already know about these gems.
By viewing or posting on this forum, you acknowledge that you understand and agree to follow the limitations set forth within this document. As such, you are expected to follow the rules set forth within this document and in subsequent changes to this document which will be made known as they occur.
Judging from your outbursts ... I would venture to guess that you have some sort of reading disability.

Being short of mods has nothing to do with it. We're choosing new mods as we speak. However even fully staffed, there is always times in any given day where no mods, supermods or admins are around, and then in wanders just one. If something goes wrong, it needs to be taken care of.

You're most definitely welcome, TOJ. Now, that's enough, all of you. There is nothing being added here, at all.
