The problem is that he's the only person who finds it funny. So he's basically using his kick/ban powers to entertain himself.
And since when are the moderators professionals?SantaBla said:And it's not very professional to do that in my eyes either...
Pyritie, if someone is ban or kicked, that person will have done something bad previously. There are no cases when I've seen someone join, not say anything wrong, and simply be punished for no reason (because it hasn't happened).

Too serious, not serious enough? Make a decision for god's sake!SantaBla said:And if a mod starts banning people just for "fun", then that person is not taking his mod job seriously enough and they remind me a lot of bnet shamans too.
Pyritie, replay or it didn't happen.

People aren't banned for "fun". They are banned for GOOD reasons while entertaining other sane members, because the bans are obviously funny.
On another note, being a moderator is not a job. We are offering our service to you. If you are not happy, make a thread about every single moderator you hate in admin contact or something, and hope they get demoted or killed. In any case, DON'T TALK ABOUT IT IN PUBLIC (clearly stated in the rules).
What came first, the chicken or the egg?SantaBla said:Too serious when a mod starts screaming at people.
Not enough serious when a mod starts banning people for fun.
You assume too much.SantaBla said:you seem to be offended and upset by what I said
What came first, the chicken or the egg?
What came first, the time when a moderator screamed at a user for not following the rules, or the time when a moderator banned that same guy?
You assume too much.
As a wise man once said: "When you assume, U make an ASS out of ME"
I'm not offended at all. I've seen too many of these thread/discussions, and I'm trying to remind you and every other user active in this thread to go directly to admin contact, as stated in the rules, if you have a problem with any member of this site, including moderators. Might you also consider that I wasn't directly talking to you.
If you feel it was unfair or that you have changed your ways (especially since that was your first time), you can appeal it in Admin Contact if you really care.Yeah on my first day i got neg rep i didnt know any better so they should give a way to get rid of this retarted neg rep
That's what warnings are for.Yeah on my first day i got neg rep i didnt know any better so they should give a way to get rid of this retarted neg rep
common.jIs it EVER fun to deal with those kinds of people?
That's the poll question.Pyritie, if someone is ban or kicked, that person will have done something bad previously.
And since when are the moderators professionals?
Maybe not professionals, but they sure can be serious about it can't they?And I'm tired of all of these people saying that the moderators are too serious. Listen, we're trying to achieve a community without idiots, spammers, flamers and trolls. Is it EVER fun to deal with those kinds of people? Moderators simply dish out the punishments for your acts. If you spammed -> You die. If you flamed -> You die more. It's quite simple, if you do something wrong, you will have consequences, REGARDLESS if you're on an internet site or in real life.
I know this was responded to, but I feel the need to say that the two opposing levels of serious were referring to different act of moderation.Too serious, not serious enough? Make a decision for god's sake!
Some polls would do well without threads.In any case, DON'T TALK ABOUT IT IN PUBLIC (clearly stated in the rules).
Give me back my exact thoughts! D:That said, yes there is power abuse. The biggest source of it I've seen is when staff members become somewhat biased against certain members and automatically assume that the member will behave badly.
We should all endeavor to not let the past obscure our judgment.
Exactly, so does that even count as power abuse, if it's simply used as a joke? Power abuse would be banning for moderately long periods of time without any apparent reason.
Pyritie, Earth-Fury > You. His use of power is [almost] always justified and correct.
You're only saying that because you like him.
I have logs of him clearly abusing his power.
I'm tired of it since I get banned/kicked all the time for no reasons.
The problem is that he's the only person who finds it funny. So he's basically using his kick/ban powers to entertain himself.
Yea, I'd like to confirm that one. EF is an arse.
That said, let's all keep each other accountable. And if you see power abuse continuing, please take screenshots and keep us apprised using the Admin Contact forum.
Completely true.
Likely true.
Likely false.
Completely false.
Completely stupid.
Or, if you think something I've done is unfair, talk to me about it like an adult with some semblance of intelligence and wisdom. (Warning: Attempting to point out flaws in my actions without maturity will likely result in 'power abuse'. Attempting to point out flaws in my actions without intellect and wisdom will likely result in ridicule.)
Customer support.Give me one job you would have someone do for you where you'd prefer a lackadaisacal schmuck over a strict, overly serious worker.
D) Firelord213 started the thread, and it resembles a complaint.It tickles me that something so miniscule as this attracted so much attention, either A) The mods are bored as f*ck, or B) The mods are a little anxious that some of their guilty behaviors will be publicizedor C) They are here to defend their honor!!!

Option One - Completely Stupid.
Option Two - Ultimate Spammage
Option Three - Not following the rules
Option four - Just doing it
Option five - Just for fun
Option six - The moderator hates that user
Option seven - Complicated.
when he calls me bitch that is mild. He is sexually harrassing me and when i try to do something i get constantly kicked or 1 hour ban :| i reported him, but nobody reacted because he is mod. No infractions, no power restrictions. i am being ignoredWell , I'm not the only one agreeing on that ''someone'' is abusing his powers in chat , I just thought it was enough when Earth-Fury called LiOneSS a ''B1tch''.And she kept telling him to stop.Then we somehow ended up in the conversation about me being happy over that he got banned for power abuse and I get banned.

That's clumsy to have a rule that's not even being respected.Regular users are the main strength of The Hive and proudly display this avatar. Each user is an important member of the Warcraft III modding community, deserving of great respect from all users at all times.
1) We're fairly positive that you do infact multiaccount.
The Speech said:Are we mods not mortal as yourselves? Are we prone to mistakes?
-Yes
Do we abuse our power?
-No
YES YOU DO!
-Prove it
I CANT!
-Then shut up.
YOU ABUSER!
-insurrectionist malcontent
WE WANT NEW MODS!
-like yourselves?
I WOULD BE A BETTER MOD THAN YOU!
-So you could abuse your power on us?
YOU BANNED ME FOR NOTHING!
-Was it a joke? If so..laugh and grow up. If it wasn't....then you obviously did something wrong. And if you did something wrong as you obviously did, then you are once more doing something wrong, by being undisciplined children who whine when their elders rebuke them.
BUT HE BANNED ME!
-Grow up...are you dead? Are you suffering? Did your arm rot off at the mouse finger when you were banned? Did you suffer a brain hemorrhage after pissing yourself due to the massive emotional down spiral of losing chat time? If so....you need to get out of the HIVE and get laid or something....or maybe find a doctor.
No one likes Earth Fury's jokes!
-I do.
Earth Fury abuses his power!
-Prove it
I CANT YOU FUCKTARD!
-I already knew that much.
He should have his power removed!
-And who will take his place...you? Power-mongering malcontent...
You just like him so you will take his side!
-Mods and friends should stick together, I have had my share of EF "abuses"...and guess what...I laughed, I got over it...I guess I must simply be stronger than you are.
ASS KISSER!
-prove it, but you'll have to stop kissing your own ass to get to it.
Pfft!
-My final words for this matter, (at this moment) Until you provide sufficient proof of SUFFICIENT abuse...keep these sort of threads out of the HIVE, they only serve to split communities, and when that happens, our precious HIVE will be all but gone.
Oh, it's only because he's banned. I see.Jacek is the only multiaccounter that I laugh at, and he only multiaccounts because he previous accounts are all banned.
Oh, it's only because he's banned. I see.
If anyone thinks I do, come see me, I'll show you why your skin sucks![]()
