Moderation Editing
As of recent, it has become somewhat irritating...
What sparked me to get other people's concern on here is this thread - http://www.yarisworld.com/forums/sho...t=23650&page=3 I know we have a new moderation team, and two or so of them which have been with us since day one or the beginning years..... Yes certain people that argue out of nowhere, like the few that did in the fuel forum section, those posts should be deleted..but those, or the few that have established themselves on here and WE KNOW them here and ignore them...should be left alone. Yes i know foul language will not be tolerated especially if it contains vulgar language and whatnot...If the thread has gone off topic for the humor i think, some (1-8 posts should be left alone)...just to enjoy Now most of us know tamago's ignorance and his past....as much as we hate him, we like his knowledge on certain things...And knowing Peterpoop's past posts, it's always entertaining sometimes what he has to say (ie: lighting up in the bathroom and backfiring )... I ignore things by tamago and such and sometimes give up, but at times it is entertainment and some sparkle to this forum. This forum has come to know Tamago and Peterpoop, both of which, i think are the entertainers of this place, esp. when they go at it w/ each other for entertainment. I got laughter out of their posts personally~~~ Back in the post, we use to make jokes on Thomas (eTIMAGO), and others alike, people laughed and it brought joy to this forum..... I see that this forum has taken a turn on becoming more dull and serious as of recent.... To the point...Moderation needs to lighten up on here... Last edited by Kioshi; 11-05-2009 at 08:57 AM. |

You're right Kioshi, point well taken. Here is another point of view for ya.
Myself, I hate deleting posts, and most of the time, I'd rather look the other way than deleting someone's post. I think it's better to try to stir the conversation back on track another way. "Naw, man, my HK tip in't butt ugly, it's an acquired taste.." something like that. But sometimes you just have to delete posts, not because you yourself think the post is offensive but because other forum members think the post is offensive and they PM repeatedly until you do something. Case in point: http://www.yarisworld.com/forums/showthread.php?t=23428 (some posts were deleted per OP and other members' insistent requests but you can still see part of the conversation that took place.) Or you can see other members picking up on it the wrong way and an otherwise perfectly good and informative thread is deteriorating. Or someone is obviously trying to start a flame war... so you have no choice, it's either delete the posts or lock the thread which is another undesirable thing IMO Also there is humor / poking fun at someone in a playful way, and then there is flamebating, and the line between the two is real fine, sometimes. If certain members would stop acting like immature asses (you know who you are) it would sure make life a little easier for all if you know what I'm saying .02 Last edited by tomato; 11-05-2009 at 01:42 PM.

suck it up and make a judgment call. Of course if you guys had actual forum rules instead of a jumble of thoughts you call the rules, that judgment call would be a lot easier. Last edited by tomato; 11-10-2009 at 02:05 PM. Reason: making a judgment call (remove part flaming PK) |

Well, since you asked, I probably wouldn't pay attention if you PM'd me 10 times but if 10 different people PM about 1 post, then it's a different message.

i think this thread has already outlived it's own usefulness, the OP asked a rhetorical question, and got the standard answers.
moderators don't do anything without a good reason. if 10 people complain that i post a picture of my car on a thread about headers, in response to peterpoop saying i bought a hairdresser's car, then a mod should delete said post.. so basically, Kioshi, you should be yelling at the overly sensitive members who can't handle thread-drift, and not the moderators

And you're absolutely right, I should be expressing my concern towards the over-sensitive members on here (even though they are of a mature age, not like a video game forum we're talking about here). Quote:
If my thread had some humor going on in it off-topic arguing, I would laugh actually. Thanks for assuming something totally not of me...good job PK Now if the humor went on to 3+ pages then it would get annoying, but seeing as that wasn't the case in the link i posted.... And yes, tamago did mature, after how many bans? don't think you were here to even see that...and Yaris T-Sport taking the bans LOL.. Quote:
And thanks for going off-topic, if you're going to take you're job serious on here Oh yeah, Tamago, don't hate on Kimona. He is one of the more lenient mods on here, from the beginning. Just because you were probably banned by him several times, don't go hating on him....he's cool~ tomato I can understand yous situation becoming difficult, especially with certain members pecking at you to make a an unwilling change to something. PK - you're not a very good mod, sorry to say...it's my opinion and I'm expressing it in the right section. You let the moderation get to your head too easily....sorry to say~~ Quoted by someone anonymously (who's been here since early 2007), Yaris World isn't what it use to be, when looking at the forum from an overall perspective and how its performing among the community... One last thing....If you have something to say to this, feel free to say it on here and make yourself look like you are talking to yourself, because the majority of the members who agree w/ me on this won't care. Otherwise PM me if you want a direct reply...because I won't look back to this anymore This is the exact reason why i was hesitant to join "forums" in general because of moderation becoming more strict on forums everywhere~ And I'm done on here, nothing more to say.... |

PK you don't think you're flaming, but that is exactly what you do. Same for Tamago. Both of you make this forum unpleasant. I'm done............... |

That was my intention, to steer the thread off course. I was waiting for a mod to bring me back in line :D
