You are now an Escapist Moderator

[RanD00M]

I would ban everyone and everything because why not. Not like there are any great users left.

have you not met me?

Nope, and the few posts that I can even think of make me not really care for you.

I would be a horrible mod, but slowly get better with time, learning the ropes, finding trolls, always asking what I do wrong, being paranoid, stuff like that, spend most of my time being a mod.
Then try to figure out why yuval152 and JoJo want me banned.

 

[Call Me Jose]

I'm not sure what I'd do. Oh wait, whoops!

 

[manic_depressive13]

It depends on how they disagree with us.

If you genuinely think you didn't deserve it, by all means PM a Mod, or the Community manager Nasrin. If you're polite enough about it, we will nearly always give it a second look.

It bothers me when people insult us over it, and think we're corrupt or purposely not punishing certain posts.

Each Mod does the Queue differently, some will give warnings for posts that others wouldn't. It doesn't make either Mod wrong.

If you see a post that hasn't been punished when you think it should, and you already reported it but nothing happened, then you can PM a Mod then as well. Or ask in the Moderation Team User Group.

I probably sound all official and trained with that, but honestly it's just from experience. xD I'm a normal person like everyone here.

Is there a time limit for disputing a warning? Because I recieved a warning I felt I didn't deserve a while ago, wrote a fairly long, reasoned explanation to explain why I said what I did, what I meant by it and why I didn't think it warranted moderation. I did this all through the proper channels in an attempt to have warning revoked, and got a very curt and rude message in reply. I'm just saying it's possible the lack of respect when disputing moderation can go both ways.

 

[neonsword13-ops]

I've always wanted to be a mod here, so it would actually be a great moment for me.

Banning jerkwads from my internet home would be a blast.

 

[CannibalCorpses]

If i was a moderator i would quit so as not to affiliate myself with some of the dubious decisions that get made here. You can rant and rave about any subject but the moment you call someone who is provoking you an {expletive} you get banned. It's a terrible policy that often defies logic and definately stiffles the debate.

 

[kortin]

Ban everyone without an avatar. Suspensions for anyone who plays games I dislike. MAUAHAHAHAAHAHAHA!!!!!!!!!

I'm glad people without avatars annoy other people too.

Ban people without avatars forever. Then get my mod privileges taken away because of it.

 

[karcentric]

Give people who double post a 1 month suspension.

 

[Savryc]

I'd find a way to change the site to only report on console news but leave the forum open to all. Just to see what happens. Hopefully tears, but heavy tutting will suffice.

Next I'd reset the post counts. Because Daystar is clearly a 5k trapped in a mans body and everyone must suffer (or slightly scratch their heads) because of it.

 

[StormShaun]

I would give Daystar an avatar of Justin Bieber and HE CAN'T CHANGE IT! Also I would change everyone's avatar to something stupid, but only if they belong in the Brovenger's and Leauge of Evil.

Also Mr.Taco's avatar would now be a burrito and his name would be Mr.BurritoElDeHito. Just for the lols!

or if I was serious, ban ALL the trolls!

 

[Evil Smurf]

Para, you knew this time would come eventually. . . YOU'RE BANNED FROM THE INTRAWEBZ! YOU KNOW WHY!!!

Also, I would change the site to a Nathan Fillion gif.

No! make a Nathan Fillion button to battle the Beiber one

I'd say the time limit would be around 2 weeks max?

That is true, the lack of respect can go both ways. If that happens you can always go straight to [user]Nasrin[/user], the Community Manager. She manages the Mods as well. =P

 

[bigfatcarp93]

T'would be the end of the Escapist as you all know it. I've never had a scrap of power that I didn't abuse to hell.

 

[Kyr Knightbane]

I think due to my stance on people being incapable of talking about anything remotely religious or political without pulling out knives and murdering one another, i think i would petition the site leads to remove ALL threads that had nothing to do with video games or gaming in general.

I am glad the Escapist has the option for those type of threads, but i simply don't find them useful in any way, shape, or form. Being someone whose religious and political views are generally agreeable or at least not pushy or offensive, i really hate to see people pushing each other over what they believe to be right. How about you calm down, and just don't get so upset about it? Isn't that what most religions and theories teach? Acceptance and kindness?

I also would probably institute an approval process for people with accounts with less than 20 posts just so the spam links and posts don't ever see the light of day.

 

[Capt Morgan]

All replies to posts would be run through a 'negativity filter' - if the reply had any profanity, it would get dumped onto the 'black hole of negativity' thread....

 

[doomspore98]

I would take ten of the accused trolls for the day. Make them all post on one thread created by me, and then the other users would vote on who would be banned.
