Maybe a j/o, an asshole, a dick, but never a douche.

Well maybe sometimes.
Shut the fuck up, voice. No one asked you.

I didn't think you could see the other forums when you're banned to the basement

No, you can still read everything. See durkie's adsense thread.

All of voice's posts today towards like_that have been harassing.

Anyone want to infract voice? Or are we just infracting certain people now?

Hasn't that always been protocol?

I removed him from the thread, which is, like I've said before, my preferred method of dealing with things like this.

But infracting like_that on a total bullshit post is ok?

Inconsistent moderating at its finest.

IMO, there are some that do just look for certain posters to infract that cause issues, such as like_that, CoA, Lotz, etc, but then, if you're a "good" poster, and do something that's infraction worthy, unless it's really bad, some just kinda let it slide and look past it.

So what's the solution? Remove all moderators and start from scratch? Everyone must be voted in by the community by receiving a certain number of votes? If I knew what to do here I'd do it.

Aside from hiring moderators that have no experience with this site there is never going to be perfect moderation. And being a dick about stuff in here isn't going to help solve anything.

It's just very hypocritical of us to infract one poster and just thread ban another for the exact same thing.

I honestly have no idea what the solution is. I obviously only deal with one forum, so my opinion is more so from an outside looking in kind of thing.

Is there any way to have it send a message here so we can have a record of it, like an infraction?

The reason I ask is because thread banning is fine, but if someone has been thread banned 20 times its probably time to try something else because thats obviously not working. but not all mods necessarily know who is getting thread banned, so they'll just keep getting slapped on the wrist when it's well beyond that point

Another issue I have is the separation of mods. Super mods vs regular mods.

We all should have the same "power" so to speak.

I've been saying this for a while. I think thread banning and deleting posts are the best way to do things, but if I see a post that should just be unapproved, all I can do is report it. Then by the time a super mod gets to it, the shitstorm is in full effect.
