HP7 pt 2 comes out in like two months...

I've just read all the books though, had never read them before. Also never seen any of the films. So I guess I've got them to look forward to.

Really? What's your favourite out of all them and your fave character?

First you whine that we have no sense of humour, then you complain when we get one. There's simply no way to make all of you happy at once.

We aren't the all power lords of MB or anything. It's not really that glamorous. We serveyou. We only try to maintain the quality of the forum so that you can enjoy it. We are all volunteers and we do it because we want to give back to the forum and help people enjoy it.

That said, I've personally slipped a few times and extended my power beyond boundaries it shouldn't go beyond. For this, I apologize. But this is not the Moderator body as a whole apologizing or acknowledging validity to any claims. This is just me, as a regular poster, talking to you.

Further more, people are never goated into being banned. It just doesn't happen. People aren't even infracted for sarcasm or arguing. Punitive action is ONLY taken when someone makes a personal insult. There's a difference between insulting an opinion or arguement and insulting a person.

I can say honestly that every time a questionable call in judgment has been made, it has been noticed and disputed by another moderator. We're accountable for our actions. They don't go unnoticed.

Exactly. We are all chosen to mod because we are level headed and make good decisions - but nobody is perfect. We keep each other in check.

What's going on? I don't want to listen to a bunch of derps talk, someone sum up

It's interesting to note the complaint about moderators sending snarky messages to users when banning or infracting them, because I can tell you that as you read down the banned user list, the vast majority of snarky (however funny) comments have been made by mods long since retired. This is actually something that has improved since the staff has gradually been replaced.

EDIT: Moving these posts to the Bitch Box.

^ Was about to do it myself! Good call.
