Moderation in this Forum

Thought i'd bash this guys post on how pointless HoJ talents are for pve prot.

You thought wrong. You had some valid points but your official forums style isn't welcome here. PM me if you have any questions. - Modus

There was nothing wrong with my post, not a single swear word, it was a valid bunch of reasons why you shouldn't need improved HoJ, there is a lot worse on here already which doesn't get moderated because it's posted by your e-friends.

I believe you're the one who I questioned about your inability to tank Mimiron, I guess this is your way of getting revenge.

I honestly thought I had some kind of freedom of speech here because it's such a popular forum, but if you get on the wrong side of the "mods" they'll just destroy your posts.

No I won't take it up in PM's, I think the whole forum has a right to see obvious power abuse and that no matter what, a community will never have neutral authority.

By posting here you agree to the guidelines set out in the main forum. You were out of line and were told why.
I would suggest quitting while ahead.

Lose the attitude . It isn't needed here.

Actually, this time I wasn't.

Just as a note, the presence or absence of swear words isn't the only defining characteristic of what is acceptable in a forum post here. If you feel certain posts should have been moderated, there is a small exclamation point icon for reporting post you can use. Also, if you feel modus is too biased, you can always get another moderator and talk with them. I am sure there are plenty here that disagree with him on a frequent basis enough to be considered unbiased in the situation (shoot, I am not a moderator, but I disagree with him all the time!).

I know it is frustrating when your posts get moderated. I hate it too, but they do it for good reason typically and are still human like you and me (well I assume moderators are human...I could be wrong).

For the sake of a speedy resolution you may wish to read the guidelines in the main forum again. While everyone is entitled to their own opinion, as jere rightly points out it could have been for a number of other reasons other than swearing. Either way, refusing to speak to a Moderator via PM about something when a problem occurs and then posting about it in a public forum doesn't further your cause.

You have some good points to make, but you don't need to be so angry about things, we aren't out to get anyone and don't hold grudges. I hate it if I have to moderate anyone's post but that is the job we sometimes have to do.

I'll leave this for Modus and you to sort out via PM. I just wanted to jump in before things got silly.

If you feel like you've been treated wrong, feel free to PM any of the other moderators. Your post was copied into the Moderator forums, so I'm sure any moderator can give you a quick rundown on what you did wrong if you feel like you were treated unfairly.
