Holy god.

*bangs head against keyboard*

Being a mod (different forum obviously) is starting to get on my nerves, lol.
It's a HUGE forum system, and i'm basically the only mod for the videogame forum. There are 3 others, but 2 are inactive and the 3rd is a cool guy, but a terrible mod.

I've always been a pretty slack mod. I'll let most things go. It's how VG has always worked (VG = videogames forum).
But this kid has been SERIOUSLY testing my patience lately.

All he posts is how much he thinks *insert japanese game* sucks, or that only games before fucking 1999 are "real". (IE: He goes into a thread for say, Castlevania: Harmony of Despair and starts ranting about how only the original non RPG Castelvania's are 'real', he does this for ANY game that can be found on a console predating the N64 with a game of the same series on a higher gen console).

All I do is hand out 1 day bans to him for this shit. I could probably be doing week and month long bans by now (abuse stacks, so if you get banned for 1 day, next offense of a similar nature is 2 days).
I've given this kid about a mile of slack. All he does is turn around and spit in my face.
Fuck.

I've never, ever liked giving out bans longer then a day or two, but the next time this kid breaks the rules, he's getting hit with a month long ban.


Random rant. Just had to let off some steam before I went to bed >_>
Sew tired of being Mr.NiceMod.

Permanently ban him, I would.

Actually, I have done.
I was a mod on a PSP download site, admins never came on so it was just me and another mod.
Lulz were had.
 
I swear if you had said, "No more Mr. NiceMod"
I would have thought it was the cutest thing I've read this month.

Don't worry about him, let alone lose sleep over him.
It's kids like that that ends up banned for good, so count your blessings and cheer up :)
 
Personally, if he is as bad as he sounds - I would add 1-day for each ban you give him.

So for first ban - 1day, second ban - 2days etc

BUT each time you ban him state that when it reaches a certain level (don't tell him what it is) he will receive a 1-Month ban, any further bans will result in 1 month ADDED to the last ban (so next ban will be 2 months)
 
So....he's annoying. We don't ban certain members that I'm not allowed to name from GBAtemp for being annoying...

Which is quite a pity.

Hahaha, indeed.


I'd love to outright perma ban him but perma-bans are usually reserved for the worst of the worst. Though, when I first became a mod...there was a major troll around, and I ended up starting a 'trial' asking if he should be perma banned, and every regular unanimously said to boot his ass. Twas hilarious, and my first ban turned out to be a perma ban.
Can't do that too often though lol.

I've always tried to give lenient bans because before I was a mod, I got banned a fair bit for 'flaming'. I never really did flame, I just didn't sugar coat my answers in the Relationship advice forum. So I know how much it sucks to get handed a ban. But I guess I really have to stick to my guns here and start banning the guy for the time he actually deserves.
It'll be fun reading his rage-message in reply to the ban message he receives when he gets one next. He usually freaks out and whines about how he never gets banned in the other forum he posts in (which essentially has no mod, so it's anarchy).

Sounds like me.

Meh, I'd ban the little prick, if you don't add to the forum you usually detract from it. And detractors are bad.
 
I have some mod experience.

Take screen to everything he does, take them as a proof then ban him permanently. If he cries then show up those screens and so.
 
I used to be a mod on a few sites as well :unsure: It wasn't much fun really since I was the only mod upholding the rules and the only one banning people (the emails sucked afterwards >.<) Still I would ban that guy in a heart beat. If he isn't anything productive to the site, he isn't worth having on the site
 
Why don't you just put his posts on Moderation?

His posts won't show up unless a Mod or higher approves them.

The forum doesn't have a system like that. Though it might actually be a good idea...I may suggest it.

[quote name='Ellie' post='3067476' date='Aug 24 2010, 06:51 PM']Sounds a lot like some guy on Serebii actually, you're not a mod there, are you?[/quote]


Nope.
 
Make friends with him and defend him to your dying breath when all the other mods wanna ban him.
I do it alla time.


Hi yuyuyup! *brofist*
 
I agree with his general stance that most games post 1999 are utter shit. 2D is the only true gaming. You should promote him to mod so you have more help.
