The Irresponsibility of a Moderator

[Van Hooligan X]

At about 1:55AM Central Time, EveWasFramed, gave both Me and Hijacc a 72 hour ban in the Public Chat. The reason? None. Eve herself stated that we both were banned for, quite literally, no reason.

It started under the suspicion that Hijacc and myself (who played as Averick), where the same person. The discussion went on for a while, flip-flopped around for a while, until Eve, and I quote, said this.

"why don't the two Hijacc's take it to private chat"

I responded by saying, "Until you have proof, it is null."

This was her responses.

"null?"

"you wanna see null?"

I have banned Averick for 72 hours for no reason"

This is one of the sites Moderators? Pathetic.

Mind you, it seems all of Hijacc's posts were deleted. But he essentially defended me by saying I had a valid point. He was banned as well.

This WILL also be reported to Bjarne Lundgren as Moderator Abuse of Power. As someone who has been a member of Bjarne's other website, Moviecodec.com, for over three years, I can guarantee this news will not be pleasing for him.

Another note I want to say, both me and Hijacc were told to shut up more then once, sometimes by the Moderator herself. This is definitely not a leading figure. Further more, a member was talking about suicide, and another was antagonizing him. Eve did nothing to stop this.

Clearly bias.

My Message to Eve - You are a Mod, yes, but it's clear you are not nearly mature enough for such a task.

BOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOORIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIING!

everyone has been banned for no reason, call it 'becoming an officall member'

although if your going to stunt maybe we'll take it back (d) ....ALL doesn't like smelly people

You wanna debate Eve? Let's debate.

Under what reasons were Hijacc and Averick banned?

I call power abuse on your actions, you even blatantly stated yourself that you banned Averick for no reason. With this in mind how can you honestly say you were right in your choice? Is this or is this not an abuse of moderator power?

OK first, this isn't a debate. You weren't in chat, you don't know what happened. It's not your place to come here and "debate" about something that you were not a part of. I CLEARLY stated the reason for their ban - flaming. Yes, I can say I was right in my choice. All the other chat members agreed. No, it isn't abuse of power. Again, you weren't in chat, so please, leave the subject alone.

I'm sorry, Eve. But that answer isn't good enough. I know full well what happened. You abused your moderator's right and your showing of bias in this very thread proves to me that you can't be trusted.

How where they flaming?

your opinion has been noted, but will not be taken into account do to it being a **** opinion....if eve says it is a good enough answer, it is.

else the Ewife will Eban you and i'll Elaugh.

Hi,

I receive very few complaints in regards to the moderators on this site, which is a good sign that things are running fairly well. When I do receive complaints it's mostly that the moderators has been too lenient - unlike this time.

EveWasFramed; good call not to simply delete this topic. Feedback, even negative, or rather especially negative feedback should not be deleted outright - it may, afterall, serve a purpose. -even if you strongly disagree with it.

This topic relates to a 72 ban of two people from a chatroom that is somehow associated with this site (through the link). However, as someone else has said, I have no control over or ownership of the chat. It is very difficult for me, in this case, and in general, to come in and agree with one side over the other because I have very little knowledge of the background.

What I think that is happening here is that Hijacc & NEREVAR117 has been taking the rules too literal, and thus say we said "nothing in particular" to deserve the ban, also Eves statement that she banned them for no reasons wasn't particularly a good idea. Unlike what she's saying here; she gives decent reasons here. Maybe I got it all wrong, if so, I'm sorry. Hijacc & NEREVAR117 should remember that this is NOT MVC and the moderators here are and should be much more strict.

This 72 hours is a very short ban and I see no reason for anything further to happen in this case (unless someone chooses to ecalate it). 72 hours is not the end of the world, and if the ban was wrong, then what the hell does it matter, calm down and get over it.

I hope, at least some of you, can imagine how hard it is for me to choose sides here. No matter which side I choose I will get flamed, always, no doubt. Mostly I choose the side of the moderator, because over time, they're usually vendicated --- by the tiny number of complaints I do receive.

On a side matter, the "banned for no reason" comes up when the moderator bans someone without typing in the reason. This in no way means such a ban is unjustified.
