I didn't get to vote, bah. Here's my opinion.
The only mod I have a problem with (besides the inactive ones) is Nephilim, for what she did to PhantomBPR. She could have put him on ignore, not call him out in front of the entire forum.
I really have no problem with the current moderators. Like multiple people have said, moderators can get out and enjoy the real world too you know so they have as much right to get out and enjoy theirselves as much as we do.
Anywho, I voted 4 stars--I feel the mods here do a good job in keeping the forum in order and sorting out problems that they/other members come across so good job everyone.
Some of the more inactive mods lurk the boards (but don't usually post) so I don't really think that's much of a problem. However, I still feel we could assign some new moderators (temporary if need be) to do the job/s whilst the other mod/s are away or wherever. *shrugs*
Lea members I've had the pleasure of meeting in person: Sharifu, Sadiki, This Land, Nathalie, Lucy, Lion King Stu, Taneli, KanuTGL, Shadow, Revo and Leorgathar

You forgot my sig, too...
Hmm.. the last mod ratings have been quite a while back, further than I originally thought even :E So yeah, I believe it is indeed time we get another rating since it's been over a whole year =P
That middle one would be me. And I never did get the chance to apologize for such rude behavior to you and to Sonique as well I believe was the other one, due tot he thread being closed. And yes I know I could've sent a PM or something, but meh.. that just didn't seem right *shrugs* So, I am going to take this chance right here and now to apologize for myself and making an idiot (could use a different word there heh) out of myself on several occasions, letting my emotions overcome my respect for others. That is indeed one of my faults. However,t hat I believe did take place qute a while back, even so, I apologize to both you and Sonique for that. And to anyone else I might've offended in that or other threads.Originally posted by Wicked
I especially didn't appreciate a few select times when I saw moderators say (not in the exact words but it was the gist that I got from what they did say) "sit down and shut up" or ?if you don?t like it, get lost? to both myself and some other forumers when we voiced disagreement with the way certain things were done.
Of course everyone is subject to poor judgment, mistakes and being emotional from time to time...I just wish such things were handled better by some staff.
As for the communication issue?it could just be a misread on my part, but I don?t know?if it appears that the moderators don?t know what each other is doing, it doesn?t inspire much confidence.
*shrugs*
As for the communication issue, there are some instances that the mods do not inform each other of some of their actions, I believe almost (if not every) mod has done 'something' at sometime without informing the others first. However for the large part we do ask each other first, such as what is appropriate and what isn't for this board before we ask others to change their sigs, avatars, or we edit a post.
The mods and admins all think very, very hard before we ban a member. We try to give them time to change themselves. There are some, like Phantom however, that just plain refused the offer.
Contrary to popular belief, the mods don't sit around int he Promontory and talk trash about everyone else. The only thing we talk about is possible improvements, threats tot the well being of the forum or its members, and which one of us won't be here for a certain amount of time.
If we do talk about you in the Promontory though, you will have already have been notified by us that the mods are paying close attention to you because (enter reason here), and that they'd like you to stop doing (enter problem here). We're not conspiring against any one =P
I just wanted to say that for my fellow mods, and I'm done now :E
I'm not going to shoot anybody. Everybody is entitled to their opinion, and if they feel they were wronged, then by all means confront us. I am glad you questioned my actions, Suki, as it shows you care about the site.Originally posted by Suki
I'd say good.
I'm sorry Roq, but you are doing good with your new postion as a mod, but you seem to be a little....how can I put this...too defensive.
I still do not get how that one icon I put in my sig (I'm not going to give the link, cuz it'll probably be deleted), that Raven/Robin...thing(I have nothing against those shippers,it is meant as a joke *the icon*), is against the rules for 'innopropriate language and suggestive content' while you see Dan saying 'buggernuts' and 'cock' all the time and Roog has on his gender 'Male...wanna check?'. That is just....odd.(no offense you two, BTW)
Actually, your sig was reported to me. The way your animations scrolled, I would never have noticed it myself. I know that Roog's siggy is suggestive, but he used it for awhile before I came mod, so I assumed he has OKed it then. As for Dan, I already warned him once. If I do catch him again, he will be dealt with accordingly. You are not the first person I have PMed. That is why I made the reply about cussing in Fuzzy's rules post in this forum.
The structure of Lea was a mess at the time, and Nephlim did what she had to do to get the forum leaders attention. Yeah, it was a little extreme, but it was nessacery. She could have put him on her ignore list, but that would have been unfair to her. There is absoulutly no reason she, or anybody else, should have to deal with that kind of harrasment in this forum, and it was the mods' job, not her's, to make sure it didn't happen.The only mod I have a problem with (besides the inactive ones) is Nephilim, for what she did to PhantomBPR.

Our time on this planet is precious, and can be snuffed out at any moment. Every second of every day should mean something.
That just reminded of somthing that happend about my sig.
A Mod told me to shorten down my Sig because it had too many lines of text, i do understand this and fully took it in and changed my sig accordingly. But there are still members which still has more than 5 lines of text and nothing has been done,
I just feel i was being picked on.
yeah, i have kinda gotten annoyed by that too. i dont think it has to do with being picked on, but i think that if someones sig is too big, it needs to be taken care of.

I understand what you are saying, Roq. However, had this situation been handled by me I would have first placed Phantom on my ignore list, and if I felt uncomfortable after that, odds are I would have emailed Mufasa and Sarabi.
However, that is just me.
Hmm....I see. But I'm sorry, I am still confused about something.Originally posted by Roquivo

If it is against the 'rules' that cussing is disaproved, why do I see others cussing as well(i.e. f word)?
yeah, i do see WT- alot here..

No offense at all to you COTP, but i'm curious as to what you would've done if Mufasa and Sarabi never responded?
Also, I must say because of this fourm I learned the f word at age 11. I am still ashamed of this fourm that they would say that for we know little ones come here too at age 11 (or 10, you never know). *holds 'Shame On j00' sign*
EDIT:
Personally, I think we should not allow swearing here. I do not want 11 year olds learning the f word like I did.
No offense taken, Nuka.
I would have just put PBPR on my ignore list. Bam. Had the same effect as banning him, I wouldn't have had to edal with his messages.

Actually, I wasn't even thinking about that once instance...I'd forgotten about it until you just mentioned it.
I actually think you DID send me a PM sometime around then, but I've since deleted it. Oh well, no matter and no need to apologize...I'm waaaaaay over it.
But, while we're apologizing, I'd like to apologize too. I realize that I can be quite overly blunt and opinionated and that rattles peeps nerves from time to time. I mean no offense by it.
Well, maybe just a little.
[SIZE=small]just kidding![/SIZE]
As for the whole PhantomBPR thing, that happened when Neph wasn't a moderator...so it that's more of a personal dislike reason as opposed to Neph being a bad/inept moderator, right?
Providing Lea with quality curmudgeon and lurking services since 2004.
Lea Felon: warned for the heinous crime of poking a badger with a spoon.
What I meant was, if she calls someone out like that, then it says a lot about what she will/is like as a moderator. However, maybe I'm wrong.

You should not have been on this forum at that age, you're supposed to be 13 or older according to COPPA (I'm pretty sure this server is hosted in the US or Canada).
But anyways...
COTP, I don't see your point about Phantom. Nephilim is a member in good standing with the forum, she was sexually harrassed by a mean little pervert and she defended herself. If there had been an admin at the time who could have dealt with the situation, then maybe it would have been different; but should'ves, would'ves, and could'ves don't apply to this situation. Besides, I think the forum needs to know when we have a member does something outrageous like that on our forum so that we can be aware and try to avoid that person at all costs. But, for sake of argument, if someone were to quote Phantom and he had made an obscene or sexually harrassing remark, Neph still would have been exposed to that and thus she wouldn't have gained anything by adding him to her ignore list.
When I was here the first time, no one mentioned that, so, you're on your own.Originally posted by pntbll248

I'm sorry to dissapoint you, but not all 11 or 12 year olds are from the US or Canada.
Right, but the server is based in the US or Canada (if my memory serves me correctly), and thus is subject to the Children's Online Privacy Protection Act, a federal law shared by Canada and the US to protect children online by basically not allowing them to be online without expressed written permission and guidance by a legal guardian. Hence why you can't post on Livejournal, as you've said before that you're not 13 and can't post there. It's more of a forum problem than your problem. I'm not saying that the forum should ban all 12 and under members, of course, but I am giving a heads up that something may need to be done that would cover the forum's butt in case someone decided to make something of it.
If somebody quotes a message by PBPR, then whoever had a problem with it could just go "okay, it's posted by him", and scroll down. That's what I do.
