Yes, why exactly DO people hate moderators? Is it because they don't do their jobs as they should, or is it because they do it too well? I really don't know why people do. So please tell me, what ticks you off the most about them. Moderators answer as well ^^ Why do people hate you? Or if you've experienced injustice or think you've been treated badly for some reason by another mod at another forum. tell us. I'm curious to know...

| | It's because moderators are vicious, evil, horrific, bloodthirsty, extremely disturbed sociopaths who should have their hands bound behind their backs inside straitjackets, rather than be allowed to touch keyboards and damage the brains of our young. There! I've said it!

I suspect the only people who truly hate moderators around here are those individuals who have been disciplined for flagrantly violating forum rules...
Personally, I have nothing but respect for the people who mod these forums. They do an awesome job in keeping Game Banshee relatively free of the nastiness and stupidity that can abound at many gaming sites.

Can't stand something moderate, must be extreme.

Some people hate them, others like them. I feel that "some" moderators/admins are doing an excellent, albeit difficult job of keeping the discussions on a level that is both informative and mature. They either defuse a potential volatile issue or put out the fire completely (lockup). I for one commend them for doing a thankless job that brings them constant criticism. - BUT- There are some Moderators that are redundant, and in some cases we can talk about "Legal spaming"
For instance the ol' "stay on topic" thing is very annoying, just like what they said to Drakron in that link I posted, "you don't like it, don't post" Or say that a guy posts a question, I post back explaining a few things and ultimetly say "but i'm not too sure" there are moderators that would imediately post "Then don't post if you don't know" or something like that. I'm not trying to whine here, and i'm not complaining either so far things on the GameBanshee have been grand. But I know quite a lot of forums where things are done this way. And if you talk about it, even mention it. You get banned - So technically, Moderators work us through fear and anger. <edit> Limiting our freedom, and god given right to nag and whine lol

I don't hate mods. I simply revel in chaos Plus, T cracks a mean whip when I get out of line
Note....
If Weasel were to ever become a mod, I may reconsider my stance. Maybe And for the love of God, no one else spam my inbox asking why I don't like Weasel. You will only be saddened to know I simply like the badgering back and forth

On the Pakistani site i have mentioned, Fable's description is very apt and true. I hate a majority of them and since most of my friends 6 mods resigned from their posts, you can very well see why i hate the mods there.
However the mods here are very fair and just. Never seen a better set of mods or in general speaking of SYM a set of moralistic and good natured humans. Kudos to you all, i like you | I don't like the moderators

There, I said it! I bet it comes out as no surprise either, hehe.
To me, moderators are like Iron Golems. You just can't argue with one when they put their Moderator hats on.
However, I do they think they are cool people, yes, even Fable and Xandax with whom I've had many disagreements in the past, when they lose their hats.
