These were recently posted in the Moderator Lounge, but for the benefit of mods of Artist Forums here are the rules we expect you to adhere to. Some of them don't apply (I'm not sure if you can warn?) but it'd be nice if you could have a skim through.
A moderator is expected to:
Do anything to break Buzzjack’s terms of service. If this happens, the normal warning system comes into place – although being a moderator who should be setting an example for others, official warnings may be issued immediately. Any of the following may result in being removed as a moderator without warning:
The warning system explained: The following system should be followed almost without exception.
- Quite simply, anything which is deemed inappropriate by the moderator, who we trust to be impartial, mature and fair. Buzzjack is a discussion site for all things entertainment and encourages debate and constructive criticism and these alone are never reasons to warn a member. - The posting of any material which is knowingly false and/or defamatory, inaccurate, abusive, vulgar, hateful, harassing, obscene, profane, sexually oriented, threatening, invasive of a person's privacy, or otherwise violative of any law. Including:
If at any times a moderator is unsure about whether to take action, just PM a Global Mod or Admin who will be happy to handle the situation or let you know what’s the best thing to do Things out of a moderator’s control

What about changing subtitles of threads without consulting the thread starter? That happened to my thread in the lounge
"Could THIS be the most ground-breaking song ever...." for their own amusement. I dont think that is the correct behaviour of a moderator. |

I dont think that is the correct behaviour of a moderator. think yourself lucky, one of my threads he changed the whole title and when i kept changing it back he deleted my inital post so i couldnt change it back. right behaviour for a mod? not really. |

It wasn't Tirrun and will people PLEASE lighten up? I don't honestly know what people expect us to do about this, except give the person responsible a slap on the wrist. I am not removing a moderator because they edit topic titles! Especially (in this case) when it's purely to inject a bit of humour into proceedings. It's petty.
As an aside, Tirrun has been spoken to yes, and hasn't continued as far as I know. I will speak to the person responsible in this case too. |

I think if a moderator changes the title just to correct some errors or make the title clearer it's ok (without consulting the starter, but if I do it personally, I always tell this either in the thread or PM the member) If a moderator does this just to make fun of it (without making it clear he did it), that's not acceptable. |

Oh dear god
It's a topic subtitle ffs. Get over it or just change it back if it bothers you that much. I have edited many in my time as a mod. Either to remove spelling errors or to better reflect the content [eg if there is an important development on pg 23 like a video] It's not the end of the world |

As an aside, Tirrun has been spoken to yes, and hasn't continued as far as I know. I will speak to the person responsible in this case too. in my case, it was the topic title (not subtitle), and it wasnt an inappropiate topic title (if anything it was more appropiate), for a bit it was a bit of lol us going back and forth, but in the end he just straight out deleted my post which is a bit out of order is it not, if you started a topic in the gaming forum and we were disagreeing over the title, and you didnt have admin powers, and i deleted your post to prevent you from changing the title, how would you feel about that? i took the appropiate action of PMing a member of management only to get a "we have already spoken to him about this before", and then as always, he got his way, so yeah, i'll never bother making a topic in the lounge again if that's the way i'm treated, i know a much nicer lounge forum where people are encouraged to post rather than have their posts being deleted, but of course if you don't see that it's an issue when people are put off posting due to the actions of a mod, then i guess that is the sort of place Buzzjack is. |

I'm not bothering to argue with anyone on here about anything anymore. Been there, done that, realised it's not worth it. And Chris, I really don't see why you're being so defensive when I already handled your complaint. This has nothing to do with you OR Tirrun.
Facts: I will speak to people about this sort of thing if and when it's reported in the proper way (PMed to a GM/admin.) More facts: Unless it becomes a regular occurrence (which in Chris' case it did, fair enough), it's a petty and pathetic thing to moan about. Thread closed. |
