The Getting Help page is a good place to start, since everything is logged, and no mod can alter it.

One need only look at the blatantly dishonest, disingenuous, and self-serving comments of a number of moderators (primarily Katganistan) throughout this thread to realize how jealously most of them guard their power against any suggestion that there might be room for improvement, and how most of them see it as a marker of personal status rather than as a trust for the benefit and service of the community we have here.


I flicked through that and found nothing. Was there any particular post you wanted me to look at that I may have missed?


Neo Art starts to scratch the surface

Katganistan posts a ridiculous response that, coming from someone of her intellect and education, can only be described as a disingenuous attempt to pull the wool over everyone's eyes

Neo Art calls her on it

Katganistan accidentally reveals that yes, she does self-servingly see moderation as a badge or trophy rather than a trust

I call her on it

TCT also calls her on it

Katganistan recognizes her tactical error, and tries to distract our attention from it with more disingenuousness and a bit of emotional blackmail to boot

Neo Art calls her on it

I call her on it

Neo Art advocates for a system that requires moderators to actually do their jobs competently

Czardas (no longer active on NS) starts the process of circling the wagons now that their cover has been blown

TCT calls him on it

Katganistan now openly admits that she takes questioning of moderation decisions as a personal assault on her precious badge of power

And Neo Art calls her on it

Katganistan shamelessly tries to backpedal

Neo Art will have none of it

And neither will Muravyets

Nor will TCT

LG attempts to spoonfeed us a bit of pabulum

Neo Art spits it right back up

Muravyets suggests that "I don't get paid" is not a valid justification for not properly performing a volunteer position which one is free to quit at any time

Neo Art again just asks that moderators be expected to perform competently or resign

LG misses the point somewhat

Neo Art brings to the forefront how self-serving the responses from moderators have been so far

Do mods with small number of posts (Say somehwere between 213-90) meaning that they don't do anything that much? :unsure:
