Hey,

IMO I think mods should NOT allowed to moderate sections here they are selling there own goods. My reasoning is that when other user that sell in that section get there threads locked, ect. People think mods do it to get rid of competition and such. We don't know if the mods were really doing this or no but yea, if this was here it would get rid of a lot of useless drama.

Yup i agree they shouldnt be able to moderate certain forums ie web hosting etc if they as them self are selling the service.
 
Report it if it happens. Mods are no more important then a regular user. Most of the time when a thread is locked, we do not go making an announcement with the reason why. the place would be flooded with useless info then.

Threads are locked for a reason. Not because of "competition."

As for people thinking that; doesn't bother me. We know the truth. People here think a file host not paying is a scam. Shows how much a lot of the users here really know. So does their opinion really matter in the end? Maybe a bit, but oh well.
 
^^ added to my point

If it were to pass, it'd make modding harder on the rest of the staff.

I'm not even saying you're wrong. I just know the mods here are honest. There is always a bad seed here and there though.
 
@Jesse

It may but it would prevent all the useless drama that goes on around here. This wouldn't even effect many mods. The only ones I can think of on the top of my head are LT, RT, and Sp32. And the only real sections affected would be Hosting > Shared and Hosting > Other
 
The number of such events is grossly insignificant; to the point that this rule is quite a useless one, assuming it passes, which it won't.

The amount of work mods do to keep this place clean is not the kind you can, as a member, imagine. Passing this rules serves to restrict a mod's ability to maintain the forum in the absence of another mod. And for what? To prevent potential issues that involve conflict of interest, which is generally never the case, just a useless whistle being blown by the member.

Your suggestion is counter productive, and is meant to solve an issue that does not yet exist.
 
Some of the members of staff are actually specialised to what they do and they're good at moderating places they specialise in. E.g. robert420 moderates the hosting sections as he specialises in hosting. It isn't just that section he moderates, but generally if X doesn't know what to do, we normally leave a report or forward a report to the member of staff that are specialised in that specific field.

I have, nor has any other member of staff took advantage of our powers over competitors. We've been chosen for a reason and that reason being trust. Limiting the sections staff can moderate wouldn't be a good idea, especially when no one is taking advantage of their powers (over competitors).
 
I agree with Jesse.
I don't really see the need. Mods are Trusted members to Help out members and not to come in their way of doing something right.

If any Mod does that thing, he/she simply don't deserve to be Mod at all.
No need for this rule imo.
 
Well, as far as I see, there can be a scope of lazy modding, as one mod will not have perms to moderate a certain section and he is just going to have to wait and watch while the person who is in charge of that forum is online.

I say keep it as it is, because in my almost 2 years of being a member here, I have (probably never) hardly seen any staff member doing such a thing.

When a staff member is closing a thread or bashing a seller, I always notice that the reason is posted and almost always, that is a reasonable cause to take such a step.

What can be done is, keep the perms of the greens (Yes, they deserve to have the control they have now) the same and make section wise perms for the blues. This way, robert can concentrate on hosting while others can do their own work, in their designated sections.
 
I think I made my point.
If any such thing happens it should be reported, as Mods are not expected to behave in that way.
That is why they are Moderating (Super Moderating)

But yes, I suppose, simple Mods are assigned particular Forums and they shouldn't be given permissions over a Forum of which, services they offer themselves.
Shouldn't apply to S.Mods. :)
 
Why so serious bro?

Just let it be ;) Mods are not gods or even bosses of this forum. They are just human beings. If you feel suspicious then report it to the admins. That's it ;)

Oh anyways I would like to point that choosing of mods should be made public by poll.
 
i agree with OP

why?

because this is what one of the service provider has to say,i have hidden irrelevant details.
