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.

I was a forum mod on RuneScape for 3 years. The ratio of people online to moderators online was like 2000:1. When I was modding around a few years back, I really understood how painful it was to being a moderator and Jagex gave us almost no support. Some days I would go to banning up to 10 people and bans are pretty hard to get. Imagine these forums with the average user having the maturity of a freaking 5 year old. Some times I thought I forgot I was reading English for crying out loud.

I know exactly what you mean Hells Malice. The one thing I don't regret about being a moderator was all the experience I got that I can use with other forums. While the average user on GBA temp is a bit more mature, I have a whole arsenal of forum tactics :)
