Rainoth Because they are making their job, and if you violate a rule they just temporary ban you for some hours/days.

Re: [POLL]Are moderators here too strict?
Deleted UserI agree with
THEMUD.In my opinion, the stricter moderators are, the better.
Just because moderators give a ban to other users that doesn't mean they ban for no reason (if you see the rules you will see the and theirmoderator job you will see their job is a bit hard but is worth it for the forum).
And let's be honest this place will be totally worse if there won't be some moderators here and will be hard for @
DC to handle the forum alone to make it tidy. I'll keep this thread opened awaiting for
DC's reply. I usually decide on the duration according to multiple factors:
If the user is new, I tend to give slightly higher punishments on repeated violations and slightly lower when they break the rule for the first time. I see if the person cares or not. In other words, did he really break rules while having it in mind or was it just purely a fail or a mistake on his side and he didn't mean it. The most 'casuals' that get banned get longer punishments as it prevents them from breaking rules (which they'll definitely do again). They don't really mind as they're not too interested in being active so it's kind of okay for both sides.
I decide how likely it is that the person will break a rule. This is a bit tricky as I can't actually know who is writing it and how mature/old he is but usually the person's grammar,caps-lock usage, punctuation and excessive smileys show that. The duration also depends on what kind of rule is broken. Mostly the bans are 12h - 3 days. Rarely a week and a month in cases when violation has to do with illegal stuff.Anyways, I think moderators give appropriate punishments. There was just this one time when I saw an innocent person get banned for a month which was quite a shock to me. There were circumstances and I'm not going to pry into it deeper. I think all moderators here are great

THEMUD: So basically, most of them are just fine. Most of them.
Seekay .Useigor,KimKat are just overreacting and banning just cause of a little thing. Others are fine. its okay if they give a good reason. but a reason isnt fitting the consequences, I find that pretty messed up. Seekay has writtenEh. KimKat's another shining example for overreacting and banning for a month
He has mental problems, it's hard for him not to overreact.
@
oxytamine: Saying that this is a mental problem is nonsense and actually quite offending in my opinion.It's nearly always provocation of some sort which leads to such "overreaction"-bans. So this can be avoided very easily. Provoking moderators is quite stupid anyway. Example:
oxytamine clearly shouldn't have posted what he just posted. It was either stupid or an intended provocation (which is forbidden for good reasons).I think that moderators aren't too strict. Of course there might be exceptions but it's fair in general I think. It's crucial to have rules and to enforce them otherwise this forum wouldn't work as intended. I also think that it is quite easy to learn those simple rules and to behave accordingly so that you don't get any temp bans.
Moreover please note that admin/mod comments/warnings (without temp ban) are no punishment. They are just meant to help you and to improve the quality of the stuff you contribute.
Seekay has writtenWell, I don't get Useigor sometimes. Zero once banned me from the forums for a week, an hour later Useigor gives me a full month ban for the same post. Eh. KimKat's another shining example for overreacting and banning for a month while all the other mods would only ban for a week or two.
It was few minutes later (at least i noticed that 0a started removing posts). Direct proof of "full" ban. Indirect: link (14/01/15) (12 days later). You probably didn't know that Hitler tried kill, deport, ensalve Slavic people: Lebensraum (also look at stats of civilian deaths and compare them to military WWII Casualties). So i'm not gonna tolerate such pranks (i removed insolent images).
If I remember correctly,
0a gave you full ban. While I moderate a forum, I forget about my ethnicity, since nothing about that in internet can help me or someone else. I think many people should also do that, overreacting as seekay said, is not a solution.
I think it's just unfair to degrade other users and act like they don't know anything about history, et cetera. Seekay made fun of Hitler, just like other shit ton of tv shows,movies, games does.
You just need to chill out and realize not every god damn person in this world is a braindead maniac that is trying to do cyber terrorism.
useigor: bruh>Screenshot Thingy<
Zero banned me for a week, you banned me for a month. So much for your proof, lol. The locking forum/all ban thing was turned around, though, pardon me.
And it was 6-7 minutes later, I'll give you that. I only noticed that ban after an hour. Still, 7 minutes is enough time to notice that another moderator already took care of things.
Edit: Oh wait, you always ban more than once, right. Guess it was just 3 minutes after Zero. Still enough time though.
Welp, case closed. Moving on.
Btw, did you notice I completely ignored the Hitler thing you adressed for some reason? Ayy lmao.

§5.1 - Show good behavior and simply don't be a stupid asshole Inflexion: Right now you're just shitposting on every thread and file you go, even when people help ya. Hamburgle harder mate lel not even mcmad. Others moderators, as useigor, Starkkz are good. Good examples for other moderators from other forum.
Engin33r is AFK too much time imho, but he good too.
