Re: Staff moderation of Mafia games
Ok FBM; fair enough, though also see my previous post.
And just to clarify, the threat to suspend me on JimC's part was due to suspicion that I was someone's sock rather than, as stated, because of what I'd just posted?

I don't think so? I actually don't know where that warning came from and will have to wait for JimC to explain it.sparklecat wrote:Ok FBM; fair enough, though also see my previous post.

Re: Staff moderation of Mafia games
Cool. Oh, and it might help to know that whenever possible, we avoid acting solo with something like a suspension. We have staff-only threads where we discuss what should be done. It takes time for other staff members to get online, review the events and make suggestions. As a result, there's often a time lag between when the problem is first noticed or reported and the corresponding action is taken in the thread.

So that's a no on the corporate responsibility thing, then; ok.Charlou wrote: I would very much like BartRob to return and play, sans the abusiveness .. everyone else manages it and the games have been a great deal of fun that way. It's really up to him how this proceeds for him.
I really don't see this proceeding well, as things stand, but oblivion has more experience with him in a moderator context than I do; I just get the impression that he responds poorly to attempts to exert authority. I doubt he and this forum are the best fit, overall.

Read it carefully: it was not a threat to suspend, it was a prediction you were heading in that direction, given your comment about FBM, and a suggestion to change direction...sparklecat wrote:Ok FBM; fair enough, though also see my previous post.

Re: Staff moderation of Mafia games
Heh. I remember from my own time as a mod what a pain waiting around for enough people for a consensus could be, and the pressure to do something about a situation currently in progress without that consensus. And how badly that could end up backfiring. It just looked really bad from this end; Bart could probably say more about how he perceived it, but I imagine I captured some of what he had a problem with, himself, at the time.

I fear you may want to work on your predictive powers, given that I've gone full speed ahead in the direction of my initial post and have not been warned or suspended yet.

Re: Staff moderation of Mafia games
I don't see the difference, Jim. It was unnecessary - we don't warn about suspension for criticising staff action. We don't warn about suspension for criticism, full stop.JimC wrote:Read it carefully: it was not a threat to suspend, it was a prediction you were heading in that direction, given your comment about FBM, and a suggestion to change direction...sparklecat wrote:Ok FBM; fair enough, though also see my previous post.

Those smilies are only the tip of the iceberg.
Glad to talk to all of you and thanks for helping me understand a bit better. However, I really need some sleep. Good night and talk to you later.

Or you could just take the low-hanging fruit and give me a

Anyway, glad we've cleared the air. Thanks for explaining your concerns and giving me the chance to explain how things developed from this perspective.

It would be nice if you would read this thread in particular to see what has gone on in your absence, please, Bartholomew Roberts. A lot has happened since you've been gone.
