General DiscussionAm i the only one who's fine with what the mods are doing atm

im fine too
maybe there have been some bans thrown out that for some reasons that are not ban worthy, but even then, the mods dont owe any of u any explanation, its their forum they moderate it however the fuck they want. i see some morons spewing some nonsense shit about mods being sjws and other garbage which is not relevant at all to this topic

ive been banned like maybe 5-6 times and never have i cried so much and neither have persons who got banned years ago. for 2 days this forum looked just like a kindergarten

i mean ive avoided the bans i guess its because i dont say the baguette word and i dont talk like spoderman

it has been rather entertaining actually. quite funny to see the people's uprising and the massacre that followed.

I'm also happy with their work

i dunt rly care but i like how the whole thing is so funny

I'm fine with the stupid/racist/country hate threads being locked, but I'm super triggered when someone gets banned for posting memes/jokes in ayy lmao. Spunki did not deserve ban at all for his post, whoever banned him is actually So ji291je9

idc, i didnt pay attention
however this recent russian/turk thread lock cz of it possible causing an unhealthy discussion, is quite retarded

I still need some symbols like you guys. Mods arent doing enough, where the love for the dota buff subs???? FeelsBadMan

then why did spunki and other guys got banned imo for reason

+

Haffy wasnt a bad guy, why did he get banned anyways?

How the fuck do you have a forum without flaming and racism? That's like having a car without wheels.

haffy made memes

Flaming and racism doesnt lead to a converasation, rather a flame-war

Just avoid toxic threads :)

you know what mods, instead of banning and muting shit all the time, u should award green stars for good behaviour. so kinda like reddit where every1 has an incentive not to be a dick.

haffy was a noob at dota so he got banned. i dont see anythign wrong with it

Flaming and racism doesnt lead to a conversation, rather a flame-war

I have a mixed opinion.

I'm fine with what the mods are trying to do, but it kind of feels like they are overcompensating in bans now to make up for all the time they've been inactive in the forums, if that makes sense, either letting some serious shit up or actually moderating it several days after the fact.

And I'm not spouting made up bullshit, as the only peruvian in this forum, or at least the only veteran one that posts, I can say I've seen several people getting away with posting stuff far worse than what they are banning people now for. And the fact that I did see people getting bans or other sanctions for other stuff right after those posts fell into deeper pages and therefore, were forgotten, left a very bitter impression in me, as if either there was some kind of favoritism or mocking certain people didn't warrant a sanction, even though I'm reasonable enough to know that wasn't the case and it was just mods being inactive for too long. I'm sure other people feel the same with posts regarding other countries.

So yeah, I'm all in favor of mods being a bit more strict with their rules, but they really should have more people moderating the forums if they want to make that work. Right now, it'll mostly make people who post here regularly to be at a far higher risk of getting a ban than those who post once or twice and then dissappear for weeks.

You still have to weed through a ton of shit here to find anything interesting though. Let's not pretend this is like the nytimes op ed section of dota.

Here's every page 1 topic right now excluding stickies:

Every time I'm on 4975 MMR or around there this happens... -Bitching

So only like 5/20 posts are any good. A third are bitching about teammates and a third are bitching about mods.

I came, I saw and i meme

bitching can be really entertaining sometimes. e.g phantom riki (rip). and banned cookies this forum

Problem is I often see you talking down to others too.

i try to retain from doing it

Im not fine with anything related to the repression of freedom of speech. its an invasion of liberty and rights.

People should be able to say whatever the fuck they want even if there are other ppl who find it offensive. That's their problem, not ours.
Give back the right to say n1gg4 thx. (im actually srs it really bothers me that there are censured words and that ppl get punished for writing them.)

I mean if u get banned for posting that spiderman pic that says "my **** detector is off the charts" it's just beyond fucking retarded

They are the best mods in the world!!! *GIFT ME PLUS PLEASE!*

;)
