They don't. They are incredibly loose towards the community. You have no idea how some of you are lucky to not have been banned yet. There are a good bunch I would have gotten rid myself.

To all those people saying that talking about mod decisions isn't allowed so we can't hear any stories of mods abusing power: c'mon now.... This is a hacking forum. Just about everyone here knows how to get back online on this site if you were banned (no, I'm not saying how if you don't) and if you don't you're probably a 10 year old that came here from gamefaqs to get FrEE 3dS gaMeS and that sick fidget spinner homebrew. If someone was banned and salty, I'm sure they would have 0 trouble getting back on the site and telling their story, or spreading the story through friends / other users. Its not like that rule is for mods to keep us in the dark about whats going on, its just to prevent arguing, I'm sure. I'm not suggesting anyone do this, I'm just trying to say that saying its IMPOSSIBLE is bullshit, lol.

Honestly? I'm surprised I haven't been suspended with some of my posts..

So are we talking about the only two admins on the site or the whole team of the site's staff? Speaking of admins, why are there two? I don't come across often sites where two admins are there, makes me interested to know why this one specifically has 2 :unsure:

that feels like the only rule I don't really agree with, seems pretty shitty if some dude gets banned under a misunderstanding :/
Yes, I know that rule sucks, but there is a pragmatical reason for it.

Remember mods are humans, they have to deal with a lot of shit, and that takes time and emotional fatigue, if they also have reply to every complain about their decisions, from what there will be a lot of salty transgressors and perhaps a couple of rightful complains, they will turn crazy. Yes, the people with rightful complains get the worst of it, but it is the price to pay in order to keep the mods sane.

I mean, I am a normal user and I only deal with crazy people from time to time, and even so some times I think I will become crazy trying to talk reason upon them. But I at least can get out of the room, ignore a given crazy person and not talk to them anymore, that is not an option for a mod, it is really a tiring work for a human being.
