Yes, and a post was made addressing that. WOuld you prefer we just go immediate to post deletions and forum bans for extended periods of time.

Ok... so i think we are all finally in agreement that what got us to this point is bad behavior by whoever.

Since we are now on the same page, how can we repair it?

Not up to me to decide, but look at the vote totals. Seems people want something to change.

Simply stating "That is not allowed" and going on your merry way is one of the reasons we are here in the first place.

The only way to move forward is for people to take a step forward and post. If an issue occurs report it, so it can be addressed.

It's called providing a warning. Without them, you will get the other side of the argument, that the moderation isn't giving anyone any chances and is just ban happy tyrants and thus people won't post out of fear of being hit with harsh actions.

Send a message to Meliva. I'm sure she will have no qualms adding you as a Global Moderator.


If you will forgive my bluntness, I want your job as forum moderator leaving you time to do what you are very good at and that is game development role. There, you excel but in moderating, the impartiality trust has been breached.

My role as Dev Requires Moderator rights to the forums, but here is what I'll do for you Stan. I won't moderate any parts of the forum except the development forums, as that is entirely in m purview as the Dev Coordinator. Of course, once you take the position.

And please tell me how I have been impartial. You are free to report me to CJ if you think I'm abusing my admin/mod privileges.

Bans can be issued without warnings, depending on the nature of the actions. Since I don't know what you were banned for, or atleast don't recall, I can't comment on the reasoning for not giving a warning.

I can see the vote totals. I'm not disagreeing that previous actions occurred and caused issues.
