In general, I'd like to see people trying to have a conversation with the moderator that issued them an infraction or warning or at least some forum staff member before resorting to posting in this thread. I'm not directing this towards Lozjam specifically, but with the relatively little...

I think a lot of people are missing the point. The argument here is that everyone should be held accountable for their actions regardless of their rank on the forums. Being an administrator does not make Kitsu above the rules of the forums. Kitsu has broken the rules before. A few of the...

Yeah, you're right. Notice that people don't complain about Locke, Djinn, or Repentance, because they don't blatantly break the rules.

Seth, a zero point infraction does matter because this warning sets the stage for point infractions in the future. If a moderator glances at someone's infraction history and sees a user has received a warning for something in the past, they are more likely to give out more serious punishment...

Why didn't you apologize to Terminus then? It was the same situation when DM was discouraged. Only when several staff members became upset about your actions did you actually apologize.

Kitsu, why can you post anything you want, no matter how blatantly it breaks the rules, while you are so harsh in the treatment of certain members, especially DM? You yourself have been very insulting to people in the Shoutbox during your tenure as admin. Here's a Shoutbox conversation I have...

I think this thread should be used as a last resort when disputing disagreements with staff members. I can understand why you feel frustrated, Blue Canary, but the first thing I would recommend doing is talking to whoever banned you from the Shoutbox. It's important to understand their point...

Even though the infraction has now been reversed, the situation should not be completely forgotten. This is not an isolated incident. Who's to say that this situation won't happen again? What Kitsu does as administrator does not justify his behavior. I guarantee you that he would have been...

As someone who's had a lot of experience talking to DM in public and private, I know that sexuality is a topic that interests him from an academic standpoint. Regardless of the topic at hand, DM expressed that he was willing to drop the conversation if it made someone uncomfortable. This fact...

Although I'm not a moderator, I'll contribute my own two cents on the situation. I think warnings and infractions should be used sparingly. If a communication breakdown occurs, the members involved should try to resolve the problem themselves. In the case of a thread, personal issues should...

You're supporting what I said earlier. Most people on this site support what they believe to be right instead of blindly siding for or against certain members. Returning to Pancake specifically, there was frustration a few weeks ago since he insulted Seth and several others in the Mature...

There is no argument that the current forum moderation is a lot more lenient and, in many ways, superior to that of the past few years, but that doesn't mean there aren't kinks that still need to be ironed out. This thread increases the transparency between mods and members by allowing members...

I can see how this situation may have caused confusion, especially with ranks that have no username color attached to them, but the mods and administrative have yet to make an official statement on this exploit that has been around for months at this point. Just the other day, Sir Quaker stated...

This is something I touched on in the other thread, and I'll elaborate on it here. Do we want to positively or negatively reinforce the community? In other rewards, should we reward members or punish them? Over the past few months, something I and a few others have been trying to push for in...

This reminds me of a situation nearly two years ago in which Matt was banned for posting a certain picture in the "Atheists of Zelda Dungeon" Group. A moderator then deleted this group and banned Matt. When Mases was informed of this decision, however, Matt was immediately unbanned. The...

As I said in prior posts, there's a disconnect formed by former mods and even admins over what is allowed. These people in power left a bad example for those who were members then. This is being remedied by the current administration, but the true "gross error in tone and presentation" was by...

I don't want to walk over old flames, but Kitsu, could you post or link the video in question? It would help in assessing the situation.

I liked your post for its general applications, however, I don't believe it applies to this specific situation. Interestingly enough, if you look at the people siding for and against Kitsu, it comes down to the lines drawn by the MD religious debates. Kitsu should not be on trial for his...

I think this specific case can also be used to assess current blog policies in general. Right now it's pretty vague when a supposed joke blog should be considered trolling instead. Is it trolling when a specific person is mentioned in a parodying matter? There was a lot of dissent about this...
