  • Are the joker gifs a sign of respect for Mark? Like, this is our way of grieving his loss?

    Didn't it occur to you that it could be trolls flagging us?

    You misunderstand the flag system. Community member thinks something is wrong, flags a post. Moderator sees post report, looks at the post like a human being, gathers conversational context, takes forum guidelines into consideration, makes a difficult decision.

    Why's Ozzyuk now a moderator? Moderators are voluntary here. The mod squad usually carefully chooses a new member from the community

    people should be judged from their behavior

    You will be happy to know that is already the case. We don't go around punishing people for every single flagged post ever reported, and we manually look into the context of why each post was flagged prior to doing anything.

    There's always a good reason for why a user has been banned, but when we flag an offensive/troll post, you guys might not always be able to see the reasoning behind what caused a user to be banned.

    She is right, people should be judged from their behaviour, not because trolls flag them.

    I guess it's fair enough. Thank you for answering me.

    Telltale staff members and/or current volunteer moderators choose new moderators from users that show good moderator potential and/or knowle

  • Yep. Yes you do.

    I have the right to complain, don't I?

  • You changed your profile pic NOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO

    Thank you for clearing that up.

  • I expected you to say that, but this is not the case, it's not real life and he has a right to be warned before he is banned.

    Haha, yeah, I was saying "fuck" in like every single sentence. And actually, it's not school that's been stressing me out. Yeah, those motherfucking exams are putting a toll on me, but mostly personal shit.

    What classifies a "Community member"? A member is someone with an account and that could also be a troll.

    As I said, give me a good reason Markd was banned for and I'll leave this alone.

    Not happening. I respect the guy. No accusation without the accused. Ask him when he's back.

  • Whoever flagged a post is irrelevant.

    If there is no good reason a post has been flagged, we don't do anything about it. Worst case scenario, we waste time trying to find the context behind why a post was flagged.

  • So can you please tell us why Markd was banned? And how many people flagged him?

    Again, you need not worry as Vain already mentioned that Moderators have to manually assess situations ourselves. We choose to approve or

    If we can't see the reason I think it'll be a good idea you explain it to us, he was a good man who never wronged anyone, who could possibly report him BUT trolls?

  • It's not the mods' responsibility to go around regurgitating the rules every single time they're broken. It is the responsibility of each and every user to ensure the safety of their own account.

    But he did nothing wrong, they are not robots, they can look into his past and see if he ever did anything wrong, it could've been a misunderstanding.

    And still, they could have warned him.

  • If it was flagged for a good reason, can we know this reason? I'm asking will all due respect here.

  • No need to call it a revolution, we don't want their head on a stick, we just want them to see why Markd and the others did nothing wrong.

    I do hope he comes back. Honestly.

    The problem is he specifically said he had enough of it, I think this hurt him and I'm not sure if he will come back.

  • Pika-pi!

  • That's fair, I still can't understand what he did wrong.

  • Soon...

    Thanks . He will be back.... "Soon."

  • I seem to recall him making a lot of pointless, off topic threads. Maybe some other stuff, but it's been a while. And the rules are clear. He was banned the first time, and then came back. He was unwilling to accept the rules, therefore he has no right to be a member of this forum. Rights come with responsibilities.

  • Guys, seriously. We've said that you can't talk about banned member reasons here.

    So if you're posting that stuff, we're acting on it.

    So don't, OK?

  • That's epic.

    I jokered my Gravatar lol XD Revolution!
