Jason Brown5 said:I won't speak on my own behalf, but I will mention one thing: what you fail to grasp is that every single moderator—every single one except me, which is fine by me—is infinitely more valuable to this site and to Maria Barnes than you could ever hope to be.
Not just compared to the users who produce quality content, mind you.
But compared to you—someone who probably runs an ad-blocker and therefore contributes nothing via clicks, while the content you generate consists of pathetic attempts to hit on every female profile in completely irrelevant threads—you provide no utility whatsoever.
And let's be clear: moderator decisions are not infallible. However, they aren't "wrong" simply because some user said so. You didn't understand a single thing in your first post, nor did you actually comment on anything related to that post. It doesn't matter how many times some whining victim complains; the only thing that matters is whether they have a legitimate grievance.
And that isn't your call to make.
Alright, check this out. This post is basically the poster child for desperate communication. It’s a textbook example of a moderator acting like they're "above the average user," and it highlights a massive, glaring issue on this site: there is absolutely zero oversight for the moderators themselves.
This moderator is everything a good mod shouldn't be, period. Consider this a giant red flag—it's high time we either change the rules or actually create some real criteria for how people get picked for these roles in the first place.
So, when faced with actual criticism regarding their work, this mod goes with "I won't talk about myself" and immediately pivots into a nasty ad hominem attack against a user.
Where does that lead? Does that lead to any kind of constructive debate?
How is someone who responds like this supposed to be the person responsible for managing heated discussions?
Basically, we can boil this moderator's response down to three things:
1. Don't question the mod's authority unless you want to get smacked—if necessary, they'll dig through all your profiles just to find something to insult you with, all while hiding behind a burner account.
2. Moderators are chosen by God himself, and if anyone is going to judge them, it’s only the person who hired them. Nobody else gets a say.
3. If you use an ad-blocker and aren't clicking on ads, you are essentially invisible and worthless to this site.
That last part is a particularly lovely little confession coming straight from the administration.
