Support NeoGAF

[Steve Youngblood]

Question for the mods: How well do you all get along and agree or disagree when it comes to member bans? I suspect some of the higher profile bans get debated in a mod only forum.

I was a mod for a few years at a different gaming forum and the main reason I “retired” from the position was the lack of support on infractions and bans (such as another mod reversing an infraction or ban). This happened too often and was very frustrating. It undermined the role that a mod was given and members began to use it for leverage.

I don’t see that here but curious if you guys have any struggles like this.

Given the numbers here, I think it's probably presumptuous of me to say this and perhaps overlooks any resentments that don't exist at a surface-level, but I think it's mostly fair to say that everyone gets along pretty well on our side. In terms of things like questioning rationale, it's rare from what I notice and when there are questions/concerns, they are raised privately. I think the only times you'll ever see someone overturning a ban/lock/post deletion/whatever is when there was clearly a misunderstanding and the person who did it is not around.

Or if the action was performed by Zeliard. That guy does not know what he's doing and I don't understand why he still has the position.

 

[Sn4ke_911]

He does follow me! Feels great, seeing my twitter feed being violated with Mass Effect porn.

Who does EC NOT follow? i have not posted one single tweet, have like 20 followers (why?) and use a completely different name just to lurk.

Same with twitch, never ever streamed in my life and have over 60 followers ..the fuck?

That guy will give it to anybody... I feel used.

 

[Kacho]

Huh. You're right. I apologize for not responding.

But no the answer is that I will still not make out with you.

Lmao

That's nothing.

I found this tweet early 2014. It had been on twitter since november and I didn't even know it. I think even EC retweeted it. Also Wario 64.

I cried for two days straight.

 

[foxuzamaki]

I've offered to be more of a mod for the everyman, but I'm not around enough anymore to be effectively used anyway. Bish is the king, grove street.

Can be a bad thing that turned into a good thing, or it could be a funny thing amongst your toonamigaf bros, speaking of which, Seda is our very own mod of toonamigaf

That's good to hear and doesn't surprise me. In my opinion, probably one of the main reasons for success of this forum.

LOL. Looking forward to Zeliard's response to this...

[Snuggles]

Guys, stop picking on Opiate. You're gonna hurt his feelings....oh wait.

 

[m0dus]

There are definitely different approaches. I tend to defer to the mods who have been around longer, and I tend not to question others' bans unless there appear to be more angles to the issue in question after the fact, and even then I'll take it to the mod in question before doing anything myself. For the most part, people tend to roll with what they know and what they feel is fair. As such, people tend to support other mods' judgement, as far as I've seen.

Yes we're still trolling real life together. We even have a scooter. Charlequin got to see us on it.

besada - Scary avatar
charlequin - Didn't see too much of him, seems cool tho
Cornballer - Love his work for TV stuff; watching Breaking Bad episodes and not having his round-up posts wouldn't be the same. Also, very level-headed
Cyan - kinda blue
Dresden - Loves Berserk, so he's good in my book
Duckroll - Many see Ducky as a relentless troll but he has great knowledge about the gaming industry, especially about Japan or Asia

Kabouter - Scary mod
Kagari - Has the greatest name ever if her Twitter name is her real name; likes FF
m0dus - Avatar reminds me of that old SNES Rare game
Minsc - Not much interaction
Steve Youngblood - Cool fella, but wished he would post more in threads I visit (e.g. the entirety of GAF)
Mumei - Fellow Hunter x Hunter watcher
Nirolak - Very level-headed, very active, very nice
Opiate - Would love to have the life experience he has some day; seems to be very reasonable and has very logical posts
Seda - Who doesn't love him
ThoseDeafMutes - Durstiger Mensch
Y2Kev - Worst Twitter profile pic of all time
Bish - hope he'll never change his avatar
EviLore - level-headed, good taste in manga/anime, very good writer if his travel threads are any indication

I hope you enjoyed my mod review. If you want to see more of me follow me @videowebsitereviews or subscribe on Youtube - you can like me on Facebook as well

[hbkajshdvfbkjhvgkahsgdfka]

EmCeeGramr is pretty funny.

 

[Fusebox]

All the red letter mods are great, gotta agree. Modbot is a bit trigger happy though.

 

[Verano]

Can Mexicans like I be a GAF mod?
:O

 

[Deleted member 13876]

I've found my next ban target.

Greetings.

 

[FunkyPajamas]

Is Technopathetic (I think I'm getting his name wrong) still a mod? I rarely see him post, and he never uses the quote feature, which drives me nuts.

 

[Ricky Ricardo]

Greetings.

RIP in peace

 

[Hot Coldman]

I will also review the moderation

don't kill me

I hate you.

[Vermillion]

Stump, Opiate, EatChildren and Mumei are cool people. Don't have strong opinions on the rest.

 

[Wazzy]

Best mods are Cyan, Mumei, icarus-daedelus, Charlequin, Stumpokapow and Besada.

Opiate is great but sometimes I feel like I'm reading posts from a robot.

 

[hateradio]

They're afraid of us taking their jobs!

Even the GAF honcho is after your blood Dawg

Your good reputation is history

Oops. I sometimes forget TDM is a mod because of FakeGAF LOL

mumei and besada have both banned me for a day before


O N E D A Y

Well that is just unacceptable.

How can I love them now that they've banned you for a day?

 

[Professor Beef]

SteveYoungblood has a fedora in his avatar, I can't recommend him as a good mod because of it.

That's not a fedora.

[Levyne]

Google tells me it is a "Deerstalker".

 

[daveo42]

It's called a deerstalker. Definitely not a fedora.
