Posts from Are you in favor of electing Moderators?

I don't understand what "check" means.

And it's hard to question something that doesn't exist.

P.S. I just left the site, then thought "shouldn't I bet myself 5 bucks that the person who created this topic is not a moderator?". I came back, checked – and it’s true. He isn’t a moderator)). Only one answer arose in my head to the question “Why does he need this?” - he wants to become a moderator)).

Well, that’s great! So you overlooked it; what can you do? They say this section is complex and has a lot of content; sometimes, you might miss something. That's why the brick under the messages is really needed.

You could say the same about any section – that each one has its own peculiarities. No, I completely agree with Siver, and I find it strange that there are even doubts here. One thing is to help, point out violations, maybe even give advice on how to proceed in some special cases. It's quite another to take action independently; that's simply disrespectful to the local moderators.

If there are no problems with this in sections 3 and 4, it doesn't mean that such control isn't necessary in other forum sections. It turns out to be an egoistic approach if people only think about one branch of the tree.

So, just leave them there then. Currently, that's not happening.

"Disputes" is putting it mildly, considering that an entire new appeals section was created specifically because of the "mafias."

Or he wrote it strangely.

Okay. Users in our section have no complaints regarding the actions or inactions of our moderators. Is that better?

No one is doing that now.

I gave you an example with Tox about this.

Do I address problems by moving them to a separate section or by giving specific instructions to individuals to handle them? I didn't initiate the discussion about dividing the WoW section.

Really?

If Tox saw an offense, he could and should have asked a moderator to intervene.

Then in others.

Example

I don't argue, he is also to blame, but why are sanctions only against him, and not against you, for example?

Until then, they have no right, not even a formal one, to interfere.

Fortunately, that's exactly what moderators of "other" sections are for – so that if a violation is discovered in their section, they can punish it according to their own discretion and the forum rules. Until then, they have no right, not even a formal one, to interfere.

If there are problems in a section, they remain there and don't bother anyone, and eventually they are resolved.

There have been instances where a schoolkid became a moderator, created a clone account, boosted their own stats, and engaged in other foolish activities.
