    • I don't think we should have mods in the first place, only admins to ban repeated spammers, advertisers etc

I'd say overall they are doing a great job. I've only gotten 2 warnings - one was for bumping a neobay thread (doh), and one was for telling people who were all over the firefox when 1.0 released somthing bad.. but i deserved that one.

There are a few threads which i could argue with being closed, and i do think sometime personal thought sometimes plays a part in that but thats alright

I'm happy with Mods,

Witout them it would be the Anarchy... Oh, no, Neobond would go crazy and shutdown the Site... :whistle:

But I think Neowin's Rules Pages are CRAP... :no:

It totaly lack of some "RULES" that should be there...

Communication is a good point. I think the mods do that very well here, like bangbang was elaborating on. They generally explain why they closed a thread if it's a case where there might be a dispute over it in my cases, and they'll respond to your arguements too. It's a nice system since you can actually give personal feedback.

I love everything in our mods.

(except bangbang023, Chad, LOC's nicknames -> everytime I look at them I interpret as gangbang, Chav, LOCO... :blink:)

And there are some people with actual modding skills comming up. *cough*Raum*cough*

Raum doesnt wash his hands...:D

I think the mods and admin runs a pretty tight ship around here, I like what they do

Keep it up guys :) (Y)

Reading about the FOnt situation up above, I guess I can give credits to Fred regarding this...

About a month ago, I got people requesting the 6 New Vista fonts, I posted them but was warned by members that it might be considered warz. I PMed Fred, the thread was removed, he explained the situation and that was the end of it. Great communication and I can accept that...

I think most NW members are very understanding, sometimes a explination is all they ask for. I think a bit more communication between the mods and the members for the action they may decide to take would be better...

Sounds like I am on his genetals here but thats fred and as I have said, he is the best mod I have run into. He isn't "above" anyone else. Real cool person.

We rule, lets all have a big hu:hug:g:

Radish?

It sometimes irritates me that you can't have a discussion on the edge.... before you know the thread will be cleaned and closed.

The problem with this is that one person will take that edge and jump overboard. We can't give a foot, simply because to many would steal a mile. :p

Any other mod would have done the exact same thing.

Our warez policy has changed somewhat in the past couple weeks. If you request or link to known warez/fonts, whatever, it is a warning + 3 day restriction/suspension. No questions asked. If you mention you download warez or something similar, it's a warning. We are getting serious about the warez problem on the board. The rules are clear that it is to not be linked to, requested, or discussed. Because people think they can slide by, it was decided to give a harsher punishment. This was a decision made by the Admins. As moderators, we are merely enforcing the rules. If you don't like the punishment or disagree with it, you can always pm a supervisor or admin.

We will not comment on how other people get punished, but as of a week or two ago, if they link to or request warez, they WILL be restricted. NO exceptions.

Was the forum informed of this new policy?

The Forum rules were last updated in June of 2005.

How are we supposed to adhere to a policy that we are not made aware of?

Warez is not a new policy, the punishment for it is. Since you should never have been talking warez, the rules have not changed.

This has been in the rules for a long time:
No Warez (links) & Cracks.

Help, requests or posts that discuss circumvention. This includes linking to illegally obtained software, movies & music files - posting about it, and suggesting to get it.

Consider yourself made aware. You don't need to be made aware of the punishment, as long as you obey the rules.

You just havent run into the "right" mod.

I've been here over three years. You haven't been here for even one. I don't really find that to be the right excuse.

From experience, I know that when it gets quiet like this, the mods are deliberating rather or not to shut this down because of where it MIGHT go... :no:

You have really no idea... we don't just sit there and have meetings on threads like this. If the thread dies... its probably because nobody is looking at it.

My favorite mod is Boffa Jones, I think he does a fantastic job.

But yeah, other than that I try to be less of a smackdown the heathens kind of guy and try to level with the people who I warn/edit posts.
