Do GBAtemp admins ever abuse their power?

[Deleted User]

As far as I've seen GBAtemp admins are not only handsome, but quite lenient when it comes to warning or banning someone. But have there ever been instances where a user was punished because an admin was feeling pissed off or just wanted to have some fun? If I were an admin I'd do that from time to time.

If they do, we have no way to know because we aren't allowed to ask about their decisions and the banned person can't tell their story.

if they do
karma will work on their lifes, don't worry

If you like doing that, it doesn't mean all the admins on all the forums like it as well

There was one staff member who was banned from abusing their power and that was JPH. Otherwise the staff is rather relaxed around here.

Define abusing power.

Staff abuses power to have some fun with people.

It's not possible to tell.

GBATemp isn't a website that's about posting deals and where staff members get a commission so it's much more subtle how things work.

Yes.

No. -rp

Not the admins, no.
Most of the mods are good too.

Forums with rampant power abuse end up a cesspool like gamefaqs. So that's a clear sign already.

Some people deserve to be "abused" here. As @Sonic Angel Knight said, define abuse.

You can't really abuse power in an area you own. They more or less control the website, so they get to decide what goes.

On that note, it's entirely a personal opinion to the users as to what "abuse of power" is.

yes, they do abuse it all the time, gbatemp mods are just a bunch of psychopath extremists, either they don't give a damn about what is going on, or they grab you and turn all your stuff into shame material and everyone will then laugh at you

Since asking anything related to a mod decision is not allowed and grants you a ban, you wouldn't be able to do anything
