So before I get to the actual post I have to begin with a little preamble. I'm writing this message out of genuine confusion and concern, not because I'm being salty or whatever attacks you want to throw at me.
So if you want to understand and follow what exactly I'm talking about,you can look at the thread that's titled something to the effect of Strange admins behaviour, and you can take a quick skim through the elten we need more admins topic or something. Start from the post of gamer kid, read the next 20 posts or so and you should get the idea of what exactly I'm talking about.
So a topic was made discussing the recent decision to ban The Dominator sighting his age. A few people came forward, and a few started talking about general inconsistencies with the moderation duo. I came in, post 24 and asked why weren't the partisipants of the other topic banned, because frankly it seemed rather ridiculous to me how a group of people could throw around racist, homophobic and slurs that targets the autistic community, when there are numerous people on this very forum who falls into the afformentioned insult targets. Artic Moon came in post 27 and responded to me which was fine. I came back in post 30 to say I was glad they were thinking about it and reafirmed my disgust. Gamer Kid came in post 31, responded to me and I responded to him yet again in post 36, however after that point I took a leave of absence from the topic since I didn't want to derail it anymore. Now between post 37 and 109, some more drama unfolded regarding an impersonation of Matt Curtice. I came in again in post 109 and agreed with Marc and said they were too big for that nonsense. After that point I had 2 back and forth posts with Gamer Kid however I said clearly we've derailed the topic enough, and I didn't wish to derail it anymore.
After that point Arctic Moon came in post 115 and announced warnings to be handed out to gamer Kid, Marc, Rudolph and myself.
Now I'm completely baffled. Why is it Marc, Rudolph and myself were warned for off topic content? As I stated, I came in, discussed the topic at hand, took a leave of absence for a week or so and posted 3 messages in response to the latest messages. What was the justification for that warning? What do you determine to be off topic, and what is even the threshold for a warning? And equally as important, why was I warned and not post 64, 38, 32, 18 and others? Some of those posts were written by the very administrator who warned us for off topic? Why aren't the standards being applied equally here?
Another concern I'd like to raise is the lack of logging these moderation events. I remember the said administrator making a very big scene on audiogames.net when Daddy Jayde failed to provide the link. Mind you just the link to the thread, not logging the event itself. Again, why are the standards not equal here?
So ultimately I'm confused. What does the administrators of this forum see as breaking the threshold to give a warning? How many warnings does it take to ban someone? And why aren't the standards applied evenly? I'd like to have a genuine and open discussion about this.
Thanks.
