Originally posted by Moldy CrowI don't deny the problems inherent with being a moderator and also being a "buddy" in the community like I said, I've told Phlab to quit because of the flak he gets.
Phlabby's like a cop who tries to be your friend . He even buys you a couple of shots and a couple of beers at the bar . He drinks the same amount with you at said bar . Then , just as being just as buzzed as you are , pulls you over on your way home and tosses your butt in jail for driving under the influence . Then he cries because no one understands ho ...[text shortened]... ossed out the window .
This leads me to doubt many things you say in either capacity .
Alls I'm saying is that the complaining going on about the moderation is nothing more than nit-picking. A little three day ban is no reason to gang-up on Phlab; it's totally trivial.
Originally posted by no1marauderRead again what I said. I want approachable mods, but I see it as somewhat problematic if they are active in the forums. It also has some advantages, though, so as long as there are other mods who are not so much involved, but still approachable, I think it's okay to have them. Besides, what's ironic about two people disagreeing on something?
This is quite amusing. Nordlys wants approachable Forum Mods active in the Forums, while Moldy Crow chastises Phlabby for being exactly that!! The irony is sweet.

Originally posted by darvlayI approached one besides Phlabibit. He did reply, but he didn't know what had happened or who had given out the ban. When Phlab replied, I got the impression that he was the one who had given us the bans (it was only at the end of the discussion that he said he wasn't), so I didn't see a point in approaching the others. If I had known who had given me the ban, I would have approached that person, and if that person would have replied, things would have been a lot easier for everybody involved.

If I had been quite new to this site, I probably wouldn't even have known who the other moderators are (yes, you can find them somewhere on the site map, but it's not exactly easy to find). I wouldn't call that "approachable".
Originally posted by NordlysI would call it approachable. The fact that the other mod replied and assisted you shows an approachable characteristic. You admit you've never spoken with the other moderators so maybe we already have a bunch of semi-approachable moderators but you just don't know it because you're too busy splitting hairs.
