I dunno about the rest of the mods, but when I warn people, I warn them both in the thread where they did something and in the sticky thread, so the specific thread indicates specific evidence, whereas the general thread simply acts as a warning.

Obviously, making sure reasons for warnings is available is probably a good idea.  The only thing I worry about is the idea of slowly transforming the thread into a Scarlet Letter thread.  All the thread is trying to do, really, is to make sure the individuals in question are aware of their warnings.

So the first thing you do is nominate me for ANOTHER job?  Screw you too!  X(

youre my future pro hoc vice friend!!  so yes, you have to

@Paininside

Yes.  It should.  But remember, that warning thread is an exception to pretty much every normal rule the moderators do.  Although I don't mean to say we're being random, this whole warning thread thing is sort of still in a preliminary phase... i.e., in a way, we're kind of MacGyvering this.  But yes, I wouldn't doubt that some standard procedure will evolve once we figure out exactly what approach (the conventional "no discussing mod actions" method vs. an openness method) would work best in that particular case.

They don't have the nerve to stand behind their decisions, Paininside: So "no."

[off topic please stick to the topic ]

in my day we bludgeoned all opposition! Not like today when you can open a topic to bitch about modding...slam it til it bounces I say!!!

[ personal insults are not allowed  nor is trolling stick to the topic]

They're incompetent. They don't have the education (or, perhaps, intelligence) to do anything about it.

I'm not intentionally being disrespectful, I'm just being honest. How disrespectful that is is on them.

There are countless examples of complete ineptitude in the moderation of this forum for the past decade+. I'm just honestly suggesting you don't waste your time. I'm just honestly stating that there are countless examples of trolling ignored for months/years--completely content-less crying and insults ignored. Most moderators are clearly incapable of telling the difference between a content-less post which suggests content and a content-filled post with a little attitude.

I am being constructive: I'm being honest and pragmatic. If you reject honesty in favor of fantasy, perhaps you're the one being ineffective. If you can't appreciate my honest observations, there's no reason to make proclamations about me. My position will be vindicated in time. I'm willing to wager money on it.

I'm suggesting that you have no idea what's going on, because you're asking for the impossible with this thread. You started this thread because you lack comprehension of why they fail to act, so you don't realize why what you're asking for is not going to happen.

Any solution would require more qualified personnel, which are obviously unavailable for this operation.

These are remarks regarding the present, not the past.

The problem is not a lack of will, it's a lack of competence.

And it's things like this which make me, the person on the mod/f-mod team who is defying your assertions by actually coming forward to discuss said issues, and probably the one most familiar with the politics forum, want to stop participating in the dialogue which was taking place before you walked in.
