yeah, it was, werent it? im glad you can see its funny ^_^

BOT, another way its hard to prove is that mods can alter their posts and not have the "Edited by" line. so, they can change it, and no ones the wiser ](*,)

EDIT: ive just been told that there is now an edit by line. but, in the past, there was none. so, for that time, the comment was correct

I was confused about this at first too, so I went to the phpBB website to look up why sometimes an edited-by line appears and sometimes it does not. What I found was that if a post has no replies, then editing it does not make the edited-by line show up, but if the post does have replies then the edited-by line will show up. Apparently it has nothing to do with being a moderator. And yes, I have recently added a modification that will display a notice if a post is edited, though I'm not sure if the general members can see it. It might be only visible by mods and administrators, and possibly the author of the post. But at any rate, I can now know when a post has been modified.

Mods that arent doing anything but just taking up space for others to take that opportunity to actually do a mods work. Im not saying every mod we have on the forum is doing a bad job, just some. I understand when a mod locks a topic but to comment a rude post about a user on it just takes it to damn far. Im sure others feel the same way I do right now at this moment also. I mean come on we have a lot of mods and they aren't doing their jobs as we speak. Aren't the mods supposed to be respectful towards us? Users who post up their opinions on this forums and mods responding rudely. I dont know but I think we should empeach because I have had it.
At the bottom of the AA forum page there is this.

Mods are doing there job, yet some people just link to think there not, check the mod actions page from time to time if you worry about that kinda thing...

Good point Dretlin.

But it isn't only visible actions which you see there that represent the work we do. A lot goes on behind the scenes guys. We spend a lot of time discussing certain issues and coming up with solutions to problems in the Moderator Discussion area.

How long do you spend on this forum each day waiting for people to post in this section so you can reply? :roll:
I think you should join! Otherwise someone might steal your name and you'll never be able to. :cry:

I agree, and of cource if any of you do not like me I propose this: Make a thread with a 2 poll options, Maybe "Demod Cold" Or "Cold is doing a great job"
If you People realy think im not doing a good job than Ill step down.

I think this thread is just a haters ball... You all forget that we do not get paid for being a moderator here on AA. I myself want to help people but I think there 2 scared to pm me and tell me there problems, but instead they feel the need to make such a thread and complain. If we dont see something it doesnt mean we do not care....

I have said this over and over again If you feel that something is WRONG (I.E WRONG, NOT COOL, EITHER/OR HE/SHE Insulted you report it!) Thats all there is to it, not that hard is it? I myself will personaly handle your problem if you pm me. Thats all there is... Nothing more...

Ok? Well of course it isnt going to pay. =/ What do you expect? A haters ball? Well since Im the one who posted it I guess Im a "hater" too. But like I said Im not being insulted by the mods. But now this is coming up gravy for now with me seeing that the mods are getting on the ball more. =/ Plus hun no one was talking about you specifically. I dont know why you brought the whole arguement against you. Im just saying what I did so the webmaster can be alert about it. I dont have mods flamming against be but other users have that issue with some mods I guess.

Um, I dont know if this... 'thing' is over with or whatever but hik is going to comment on this... (And I know it is going to come back and bite me-.-')

I didn't read all of your comments but from what I got out of what I read was you are saying we should report all the comments we do not approve of and what not.. There are alot of those..there are alot of inapprioate posts that involve... :-k some things and some spam (which I know I do do some, I'll admit that :roll: ) but if we were to report EVERY SINGLE post like that whoever got those reports would be really mad and fed up with them and would tell other people to do their job or something to that effect. And I'm not up for reporting every single comment because... thats like.. I dont know what to call it :|

So yeah.. please correct me on this, please, but not like, where you are ganging up and all that.

Thankies.... *slowly backs away*

Good post hik.
How about this - Use the report function from NOW ON whenever you think it is necessary. Obviously if there are so many "inappropriate posts" that alarm you a lot of them will be from the same user, so don't report every post of that user. We can then stop that user from doing posts like the one they did that got reported and weed out the problem (through education of offenders...possibly punishment etc etc).

I did read through thsi whole topic... and really, the mods aren't that bad...

I mean maybe the reason they don't catch some of it is because it's not na anime they watch all the time, so on a normal basis they don't go there. Also as alot had said, "USE THAT DANG REPORT BOTTON FOR MOOGLES SAKES!!!" It's not just there too look at... even though it is pretty... it does have a wonderful purpose too...

Aslo, Mods can't do everythin', they have lives too... dur... As Vash said, we are all human and make mistakes and go out of line every now and then. About the whole "This Mod is bein' ebil... blah blah..." I've seen the so-called, "Flammin"... and I'mma sorry... but you bring on your selves somedays... Some of you guys just keep on fightin' and don't give up. You stubborn lil mules deserve what yah got, cause not always are you right... ug...

Also, ayha we do have some mods taht never come on as much... but they did do some good stuffs for us. Maybe they can't get on, maybe tehre is time constraints? I unno, still don't sink their battleship yet, they may come back and be like, "Supah Mod" and like, "BAM" all this stuff get's done.

The Mods we do have, do alot around here, even though tehy have actual lives too. I mean, seriously folks, we don't make it easy on them. We whine and gripe over this and that... but sometimes... we can fix the issue on our own... or we can do that thgin everyone talked about... you know... that... REPORT thing...

And, yah I've been a bad person on here too... I've flammed... I've spammed... I'm not exempt at all... I'mma bad lil person... but I grew up... sorta... some of us really need to do that grow up thing too. Even if you are a 10yr old... I still think after a good 4-5 monthes of bein' on here you'd understand and remember how things are done. Rules are tehr for a reason... other then to be borken... Let's try and follow them for once... ad jsut ask yer neighbour hood Mod for help... cause tehy are really good at that. ^^

Nope if anyone has an issue with my fellow mods they also have one with me, I have nothing against you of cource :)but we work as a unit..team. If a user does not like a mod they should talk with them or talk it over with the webamaster and gather proof. :D
