Attitudes and behaviours

[1vngal]

I have noticed that the mods are becoming less and less popular round JC lately and there have been quite a few arguments regarding the behaviour and attitude of some of the mods. And I’ve also noticed that each and everytime the subject has been raised the thread gets closed, even if the discussion within the thread is civil. It’s about time we users got a proper say about this, without the thread being closed, providing we can all be mature about it, and have our say with out causing a shit fight.

Now, I’m not saying that the mods are 100% at fault here, but if you take good enough look, you’ll see that the majority of these arguments have started due to a mods actions. Not so much what the mod has done, or why they’ve done it, but more the manner in which the action has been carried out. Frankly, some have been nasty, sarcastic, and just down right rude.

Fair enough the mods have a job to do, like closing inappropriate threads, keeping an eye on language content etc. But they can do all this with out the smartarse attitude. And it’s this ‘attitude’ that causes members to retaliate when a thread has been closed or whatever. The user/s aren’t narky because it’s been closed, they are narky because of the sometimes personal attacks/comments that may have been made right before the mods perform their so called duty. Also, I’ve seen threads closed for just about no reason, or mods openly admitting to editing, deleting or closing something ‘just because they can’ Honestly, it does look like power tripping….

It doesn’t look good for JC as a forum, I mean what are new user/guests going to think when they see this sort of behaviour from those who are meant to be helping running this site? It really doesn’t set a good example does it?

And I know some of you are just going to turn around and say ‘if you don’t like it, leave.’ But that isn’t my point here. It’s obviously an issue that is bothering a lot of users, even users that have been here for a long time and have generally been happy with the site. I don’t know what can be done about it, but something has to be. And it’s about time something was done.

Oh, and closing the threads everytime this subject comes up isn’t going to make the issue magically go away. It’ll only get worse……

i also agree, mainly troy711, his attitude absolutely sucks. i also agree that mods do abuse there powers only certain mods, not all of them, i think its time this was acted on

[Shounak]

Yeah I agree entirely.. I also put the blame on Troy..

I have no issue with the other moderators/admin..I think everyone else is doing a fantastic job..

Not a fan of the actions/attitudes or behaviour of Troy at all.. If there is ever a petition or poll to get rid of him, consider my name at the top..

[Charg'd]

right behind my name shounak

[AirStrike]

And your names on that petition will accomplish nothing. Troy has been a great asset to the admin/mod team. He has taken it apon himself to implement new ideas, reinvent old ones, etc. I really dont see what your big problem with him is? Can you show examples of your complains?
As we grow bigger we have to crack down more.
I can see where you are coming from, ill be the first to admit there have been tons of times I havent handled a situation the best. You all seem to forget we are human aswell. We have shit days at work, arguments with the missues, etc.
You complain its not what we do, but how we do it. So does that mean everytime someone here is a smart ass I get to ban them?
Also you make mention of what will new members think of our actions, etc. So what would you have us do? Sit back and let the place turn to shit to keep a small minority happy?
I welcome your suggestions so send them to either admin@justcommodores.com.au or my hotmail leader_airstrike@hotmail.com

not exactly dave, troy is a total smart ass, look in trents 1000 post thread, then disagree with me, he has let the power go to his head, i dont expect you to agree, or act on it for that matter, because he is obviously a mod, he can do what he likes

p.s good to see someone returned this thread, because someone deleted it

What troy did in that thread was simply a joke, and something that I have done many a time. Your looking into it far to much. You all claim its 'the power gone to his head', its just us having a joke, no different then when we went thru the custom user title faze(sp?).

I'm sorry, i know i don't have a lot of posts compared to you guys but i do read alot of the threads and i fail to see the problem with troy.
I don't know him from anyone else but i think he's doing the job pretty well so far.
Moderating this forum would not be easy so i think you should cut the mods. some slack.
After all, nobodys perfect.
If you want to scould me for having an opinion guys go right ahead, just my 2 cents.

Can you show examples of your complains?

Well, I did have a perfect example of this whole sarcasm thing, and from Troy, but it's magically disappeared....Gotta love that delete button hey?

Not a thread, a few posts. From the VL stolen in cranbourne thread.

[AirStrike]

Hard deleted posts I cant bring back. Ill take your word for it tho.
You have to remember that when we have the same petty shit to deal with all the time we end up with a short fuse.

Yes, I understand completely, and I have seen situations where response like mentioned has been called for. But lately, the sarcasm and nastiness has been for no apparent reason, then things get nasty. I wasn't pointing the finger directly at Troy or any other mod for that matter.

If a user has broken one of the rules or whatever, I don't blame a mod for being cruel or harsh, because sometimes, it has been asked for...

But like I said, just lately there has been a lot of sarcasm, or nastiness, over nothing.

Why the hell would he hard delete his posts from that thread? Trying to prove our point?

Depends what posts they were, and how many. If there is lots of posts to delete its easier to hard delete rather then having tons of deleted messages.
AirStrike

[1vngal]

It was only like 2 or 3 posts that have been deleted.

im not to keen on this thread, but im entertaining the idea,

basicaly guy's and galls, i have noticed a few things of late, which im not to happy with, and it's not just 1 moderator, it's the action of a few. im not going to remove mods, im not going to kick them of the forum. i would like to think i can show them the way it needs to be done.

but i do ask you all to step back for a second and ill throw the dice back on you. at any given time during the day ill get a complaint about a user sig, containing swearing. and belive it or not, all it takes is someone to get offended by it, or get out of control and i have to act. it was me that was behind the sig removal. then you all ark up, have a complaint about it. and it's on for young and old. yet no mater how much we all try to explain it to you, you manage to get upset even more.

another example, was trent in the sig part. where he cut sick, it was difused.
another example, was when the lounge was closed, it go so far out of hand it wasnt funny, so i bent the rules a little bit, and made a seperat section
poll about gay marrages was removed, you sooked
a post with a offensive title was removed, you complained.

if you have a issue with the moderators, take it up with me, admin@justcommodores.com.au and tell me what you want changed. if i dont hear from members then i dont know something is wrong. but remember this, the door swings both ways. you will be asked to change your way's yourself

for now, the lounge has been closed, it's been abused so badly ive let it slide, but i catn let it slide anymore
user sigs will be removed unless people change their ways.
if people cant keep their custom titles in check it will be removed also
custom avtars are close to going
remember this. this is a family forum, which means behave. justcommodores doesnt cater for a age group in specific, it is for all lovers and users of the commodore.
direct all complaints to admin@justcommodores.com.au no flaming of moderators will be tolerated, and users will be banned if this continues.

Ok, PM sent to you garth. I was going to PM you in the first place, but I wanted a more public opinion on this, I've kept my first post civil and directed at the issue of behaviour recently. Not of other situations in the past. I know of quite a few members that have the same views as me when it comes to this topic.
