Unfair Questioning from Mods

POSTED BY: bassman_uk 2 months, 1 week ago

Probably get banned or something for this, but it needs to be said.

In this thread:

http://www.hotukdeals.com/item/483370/lots-of-psp-games-for-sale/?p=6329972&posted=1#post6329972

The OP has been subjected to answer a question which doesn't really require an answer, as it doesn't break any rules.
However, the mod has been pretty harsh because the question hasn't been answered, and even a snappy after the OP answered the question.

Is this just a sign that mods *sometimes* use their muscle unfairly?

As I pointed out in the thread, had the OP only listed just 2 copies of one game, would he have been asked the same questions. Obviously the question is to find out if it is a trader, but it seems that you are guilty until proven innocent.
The question just seemed 'picky' to me. Is this the sign of things to come on the FS/F boards???

Lots of thread spoiling in that thread. Question seemed fair enough.

maybe after opening an alias account before the mod felt it was questionable from past behaviour, and as moderators i believe they can ask what they like

Really? So because you have something twice, you are automatically subjected to questioning to be a trader?

You think thats fair?

Linky?

perhaps if this is the case, a pm from the mod would have been more appropriate?

I just think we need to 'feedback' to the mods when they do things that don't seem right

The mod hardly had the seller in a headlock and shining a 100 watt bulb in his face.
It was a simple question that needed a simple answer.

i think a certain mod has had enough crap thrown at him in the last month, rather than these continaul threads why not question admins rules, not those that carry them out

Seller does have multiple copies of more than one item.............

Admin is doing members a courtesy by having FS/FT- it would make Admins and the Mods life a great deal easier if they just close it.
Probably best to co-operate if you want to keep it.....

the mod jumped on another person asking the question - ganging up perhaps?

How about manners from the mod afterwards? Seemed rather harsh to me. If someone spoke to me like that in the street, I'd give it right back to them, but on here its one rule for the mods, and another for the 'minions' is it?

Question is with *some* of the mods being like this, isn't it just better to close it?

If its that much hassle, don't bother having it

You accept the terms of what a mod has to do when you accept the job - if its that hard to keep civil, don't do it, simple as that

Because of the way they are carried out.
Its not a witch-hunt. I would have done this if it had been ANY other mod on here too, but in reality most mods are good at communicating.

Like I said, this is a feedback forum, and as such I am providing feedback. Like anything, people will agree or disagree with me - end of.
If its not pointed out, people will be non the wiser

I can see where the mod is coming from albeit his 2nd reply is rather abrupt but if the question is to ascertain wether or not its trader like activity then there are tonnes of members who should face similar questioning in their threads.
