Ugh, they seriously changed the title of this from "slutty" to "unbecoming of a lady"?

After it's been up eight freaking days?

Unbecoming of a lady?


Please kill me now. :rolleyes:

It would be completely out of character for Kat, at least from where I sit. Though I do recall there were some word-substitutions going on prior to HotRodia being made a Mod, so I can't say. But it's all supposition, in any event. There's really no clear way for us to tell who's doing what at the Mod level.

Yeah, but notice the moderation has reached a critical point since Hot Rodia became a moderator. He's doing EVERYTHING that needs moderation, even the things that are usually left alone.

I hadn't even been online for the past 20 hours. It'd be a real trick for me to have changed anything until I got on about 30 minutes ago.

Please remember that the titles are under a more stringent rule than posts themselves -- the titles show up in sidebar, and NationStates is used in middleschools. It's nothing new for titles to get changed; if that bothers you, sorry.

It's not just the titles, Kat. It's everything. Hot Rodia is becoming a megalomaniac. If he sees ANYTHING wrong, even the slightest little HINT of a flame, he goes and punishes whomever he sees fit.

Naliitr, If a mod decided "slutty" was to much un-pg13-ish for the index, that's his decision.
Lets not let this thread degrade into a "the mods are to censoring"-bash, it's come to far for that.

I can't believe it, you people posted a whole page while I was typing my post!

It's not that he's moderating WRONGLY, it's that he's far too overzealous in his job. Most mods, like Katganistan, and Tactical Grace before Hot Rodia came in, put humor in there moderating. Or at they least got straight to the point and said: "Idiot. Your thread is locked", or something to the sort. Hot Rodia has to go into this long monologue about how the thread is innappropriate, telling us where to read the rules, whle essentially reitirating them at the same time, and then once more explaining why the thread is innapropriate. Also, he has a tendency to edit every single little problem. Usually mods just decide to let that tiny hint of a flame pass, but not Hot Rodia. He has to make sure NSG is perfect.

I find this in a way a little suspicious. If you have a problem with his moderating, either be open to him/her about it, or not. But don't go talking behind his/her back, all that does is spread negative vibes (if you'll excuse me the term)

I can only complain about a moderator abusing powers. Not about him being an idiot.

I have a feeling you are defining "over-use" as "abuse" to. Something I can relate to. There's such a thing as the letter of the law, and the spirit of the law. Usually, it's sufficient to moderate in the spirit, as moderating to the letter is way to much work and results in debates such as this one.
Over-zealous moderating is something you could politely inform Rodia of, and If he's a sensible person (which he must be, or else he wouldn't have been selected for moderating), he'll evaluate what you say, and take it into account.

Vacuumhead, shall we keep the non-platonical things out of this? This already has every potential to degrade into mindless quarelling without everyone shallowly hinting at physical appearances.

If Hotrodia is still in his work-in period, my support for lenience and kind-informing reinforces.

The question is "when did we have time to take care of the forums properly"? The answer is we did not -- which is why we selected HotRodia to help us do this job.

I don't know what the heck your problem is with HotRodia, but since you've chosen to sit here flaming him all night without the decency to actually discuss it with him, you can have a weeklong vacation. We wouldn't tolerate you abusing another poster like this, and I am not going to let you get away with abusing HotRodia out of some idiotic idea that different rules of civility should apply simply because he's staff.

Thank you, thank you. You guys tend to be much more tolerant of people heaping this level of abuse on a moderator than you would be with a general poster and it frustrates me. I'm glad you guys stopped it. Clearly, there was no interest in actually discussing the issue but just an interest in heaping abuse on a mod that in fact DIDN'T do what he was being accused of.

For those of us who appreciate a respectful and clean forum, I'm glad to see y'all stand up for yourselves the same way you stand up for us.

Amusingly, if HotRodia is really doing as much work as is claimed in this thread, then I say kudos and thanks for your hard work.

EDIT: To the obligatory brown-nosing comment, I call it like I see them. Mods do a job for us that helps us to be able to play here and they do it for free. I could do worse that appreciate charity.

I don't know what the heck your problem is with HotRodia, but since you've chosen to sit here flaming him all night without the decency to actually discuss it with him, you can have a weeklong vacation. We wouldn't tolerate you abusing another poster like this, and I am not going to let you get away with abusing HotRodia out of some idiotic idea that different rules of civility should apply simply because he's staff. Go throw your tantrum elsewhere.

If I wasn't so lazy, I'd give Katganistan a standing ovation. As it is, I'll just sit here and yell, "Way to go!"

Hotrodia, congrats, this is the fastest "hate thread" I've seen a mod recieve after being promoted to mod and you didn't even do anything for it either :p

Wow, managed to get someone hating you in just a few days. You must be doing your job well, my friend. :D

and the fact that he got this hate thread for something he didn't do, I really don't want to see what happens when he actually does something to warrent a Hate thread... :eek:

I'm jealous! I've been a mod for like, 3 years and I don't think I've ever had a disgruntled/obsessed player on my case like that! Certainly not in such a short span of time.

Ah well. Perhaps our little hot-tempered friend will regain use of his intellect when he returns from his forced vacation.

.... Wow. Three years and I still have any optimism left?

Now, that he's been dealt with don't we think it's a little inappropriate for all of us to spend the rest of the thread heaping criticism on him? If we're done here, don't you think it's time to close this and let it lie?

Strange. I actually didn't edit that thread title, and didn't see anything wrong with it. I rather liked that thread, and thought it was discussing a substantial issue.

And I generally don't Moderate a thread in General unless it's reported. I'm not going to waste my time trawling through every thread to find every poster who's flaming.

Also, I've been a regular in General since I started on this site, though not always under the name HotRodia.

seriously yall, yall just jumped over him and didnt even knwo the story :confused: how would you feel if people complained like crazy about you? Yall sound liek littel girls "he did this" "Hot rodia did that" "kat save us" bla:gundge:

As for Yavin, that was way back when Mods were still kinda new. He was Modded in the second batch, I believe, thus with Ineptia, Enodia, and Reppy (I think). Things were largely okay with him until it came out that he was only 14.

You would not believe the shitstorm that followed. Mostly, amusingly, by people in their twenties who didn't think they should be told what to do by some "kid". Thus, of course, demonstrating their own lack of maturity, while he demonstrated his own maturity by not saying much of anything in the thread.

It was completely ridiculuous, stupidly over-inflated, and it carried on for far longer than it had any right to. I believe [violet] eventually settled things by telling people to shut the hell up.

I forgot about that.

I was flamed on my second day for abusing my powers. Of course, the most amusing thing was that I didn't have any powers at all, not even the most basic of forum mod powers. Now that was funny.

Not much different than this, really. This poster was upset about things that HotRodia didn't do. And considering that the poster was arguing that it was a correction that mods wouldn't have done before HR was modded, I guess a bunch of seasoned mods must have suddenly changed the way they do business because HR arrived on the scene. The charisma that child must have.
