What happens when someone pushes the report button when someone is belittling someone else in a thread? like who sees it and what exactly would be a good reason to do it. does continual rudeness count? Why isnt there a thread where a normal poster as myself could go and report abuse from a moderator for all to see? and there could not be vindictive behavior as retaliation? it seems to be a common thing on here that is not addressed and could be. thanks for your time.

Reports go to Mods and admins.

If you have a problem with a moderator, it's best to take it up with Administration, which would be Denim, or SSaudio. You can also email them.

There's a certain chain of command that should be followed in situations with staff. If you have problems with a moderator, PM a Super Moderator. If you have problems with a SM send a PM to Aaron or Mark.

been there done that bro..just go straight to the admins if you really want to get something done.

by the way, dont bother reporting a mod by using the report link its a waste of time because that mod doing the bashing will get the report in his pm box and will go and edit his own post and that will be the end of it..so just go straight to the admins

NOW NOW BOYS>>>>> DRAMA DRAMA DRAMA

lol..no drama, just letting the good bro know he needs to go to warden if he needs to post a complaint about one of the "guards"

I really doubt that any of the mods here would run and edit their posts after being reported. That is funny.

I'd just ignore it. The person probably deserved whatever was said, anyway...no reason to change it because someone whines.

i have seen it done.....

i allways just iggnore the BS....

If they edit the post to make it more acceptable, doesn't that solve the problem?

no it doesnt...lol wtf...lol it means there was no proof a mod is abusing his power even though he was..just cause your mod doesnt mean you walk with a big stick and rules dont apply to you..chit if a mod isnt doing his job then something needs to be done..lol

But any one on the moderation team can see that it has been edited and we still receive the reported post....thus ensuring that they are being followed up on. And everyone has made a slip once or twice before...

I'm just wondering what precipitated this whole thing

This is a relatively small group, one of the most annoying things possible is this hush-hush attitude of we-can't-say-who-we-have-a-problem-with. If you have an issue with someone, the least you can do is try to work it out before sending out reports that nobody pays attention to and deferring to other people that probably agree with the person who they have a problem with.

true, but i just dont feel any mod here would follow up on another mod..just wouldnt waste there time because they would assume one of the other mods would look into it and that would be it..all im saying is if the complaint is about a regular member then ya i'll use the report link, but if its about a mod id get more results playing pick up sticks with my butt cheeks then i would using the report link..lol

you have tryed both hahah

you have tryed both hahah

lol i wont lie after about a 12 pack of Guinness i have been "intrigued" to find some sticks..

I haven't seen the report link being used to report a mod once, so where is this all going here? Unfortunately when you say such things, you do not know what is discussed away from the members eyes. This place is run drastically different than most other sites in the genre. So don't assume.

report button does exsist..i have seen it {doing my water world impression}

You want order? Here's the verdict:

Take a chill pill. It's the internet. In a couple of weeks, no one will remember this.

If you'd like, you can take a break from SSA for a week. Sometimes it helps to get away and cool off, and personally after seeing you post over the last week Denalilvr, I think you need to do just that.

lol
