in Feedback & Suggestions ·
Look, man, you’ve got a stake in the US, which means you don't get a say in any appeals involving that PDF.

Rustydrifter10, don't play dumb with me.
Mods on 'Various' are closing threads whenever they feel like it

Henry Hayes3 said:Look, Pobs is awesome, but he isn't hanging out in the chat all day. We really need a moderator who actually sticks around the chat area, because otherwise, they can't effectively moderate it—they just end up shutting it down entirely, which goes against our forum rules. You shouldn't be able to just close a chat thread just because someone feels like it.
Let's get one thing straight: moderators aren't obligated to hang out in the chat. It’s their prerogative to lock any thread, whether it's temporary or permanent, if they decide things are getting too messy. Chat threads aren't some mandatory requirement for the site staff; they exist at the discretion of the mods. If the moderation team decides a thread has run its course, it'll be gone. Pobosutljanin has total authority to lock any topic—including chats—if he determines the quality isn't up to par for this community, or if users are constantly using the space to provoke or insult one another. Honestly, my best advice to everyone is just to play nice and follow the rules. I'm certainly not going to go begging him to reopen a chat just so you guys can have a place to bicker and fight.

It’s really just their own little way of messing around with each other; nobody actually gets insulted, and those bans usually only last about an hour. Seriously, don't sweat it. By the way, if anyone feels like they've been unfairly penalized, Apemant is more than welcome to file their own appeal regarding any cards or issues they encounter.

I'm totally on board with the moderator's call to shut this thread down. The "Various" PDF already has its own dedicated chat, and I really don't see the point in having multiple threads cluttering things up. I actually mentioned this exact thing to you in a private message back on March 2nd, so there really wasn't any need to spin up a whole new topic about it. Thanks for the suggestion regarding the moderator role, though—we'll touch base with the current moderator and the supermoderator to get everything sorted out.

The thread’s been moderated and tossed straight into the Trash where it belongs.

I took a quick look through the thread, and honestly, some of those comments were pretty out of line. I went ahead and reached out to the mods and the super-mod to ask if they could take another pass at it and clean things up where necessary.

If you're having a hard time updating the email address on your profile yourself, don't sweat it—I can take care of that for you! Just shoot me a private message whenever you have a second.

Oh, we haven't forgotten! Once the PDF gets a new moderator, they'll show up on the list, and we might even get a proper welcome thread started for them. 😁
Bad lunch decision

Look, you really ought to dive into the PDF guidelines and get those rules down pat before you go starting a whole new thread on it.
Is it a yellow card appeal or just straight-up deviance at the ZOO?

They definitely showed they were listening, though. And they made it crystal clear exactly where things are falling short.

Aside from me, the only other admin here who isn't part of the tech crew is Anderlon. I'm going to go ahead and lock this thread just so we can steer clear of those random trolls who think they have a say in things despite not being admins. If the owner of the forum feels like it needs a look, they can always reach out to you and unlock the topic whenever they see fit. Good luck!

Honestly, your entire attitude toward this thread has been incredibly rude and totally out of line. I'm locking this down until a supermod from the Movie section can weigh in, and then they can decide whether to reopen it or not.

Maybe try giving the PDF rules a quick read before you jump into starting a thread:
Now just hang tight until someone from the Movie crew shows up.

Rachel Ortiz33 said:What kind of approach? What are you even talking about?
It’s basically just those two days where things get heated because you see the mods starting to patrol the forum more often.
Actually, I don't think so. Just because they're active doesn't mean they've actually had a chance to sit down and hash out your specific issue, or even that they've finished looking into it if they have started. At the end of the day, it's on you to ask the question and then just hang tight for an answer. If a few days go by without anyone getting back to you, you can always send a gentle nudge—maybe a private message, a quick ping, or just a polite follow-up post—but coming at them like this isn't the way to go. Just take a breather and wait for one of the admins to step in.

Alright, folks, let’s keep things civil here—no bickering allowed. Just so everyone is on the same page, the administration is currently deciding who will step up as our next moderator. You are more than welcome to toss out some suggestions or explain why you think someone might be a great fit for the role, but please, let's leave it at that. No endless arguments or back-and-forth debates.
