Animation Source Forums

I know I'm not a Moderator, but this is just rude and disrespectful!

People I see here are always complaining about the Moderators, "The Moderators are too strict!" "I got banned just because I had a Double Account!" "Why are mates forbidden even in the PMs?! That sucks!" its horrible! They keep throwing trash on them just for doing thier job! If it weren't for the Moderators, Animation Source and Balto/TLK Source would fall into ruins.

So why not show a little respect for the Moderators instead of throwing trash at them! You get banned only because you break the rules! If you didn't break the rules you wouldn't be banned. This crap about "I got banned just because I had a double acount" is stupid. If you followed the rules instead of critisizing the way Steet runs things, then you wouldn't end up banned in the first place at all. Second of all, why not join like a mature member?

I think we should all show a little more appreciation for what the Moderators do.

Otherwise, like I said before, everything will fall into ruins and people would be breaking the rules everyday.

Am I right? Or am I wrong?

I certainly do agree,they all deserve a break,simply because they're no different to a regular member,and they make mistakes,just like we do.

Huh? No I just find it annoying. I just think that people ought to start showing some more respect to the Moderators and Steet and other people instead of insualting the way we all do things.

No, she is simply stating that she (and I also) finds it disrepecful. Our moderators have to come here at a daily basis, and ban members, delete spam, read peoples problems. Do you know what? They could just sit back and watch this site fall apart. But no, they give up their time to moderat this website for YOU. What do they get? Ungrantfulness, rants and banned members throwing hissy fits. And if you have a problem with one moderator who is 'Breaking the rules' then tell Steet or another moderator. That way somthing could get solved instead of you avatising it on every moderatior rant there is.

It is the members, not the moderators, that need to improve. Not only do they spoil it for themselfs, they spoil it for the moderators and members.

I had to get that off my chest.

Your 100% right! The members spoil it! And then when people get banned for breaking the rules the friends of that "poor person " get annoyed and say: "You are so mean! He was only ..blah..blah..blah..!"

Its obnoixious! Even they should know that what he/she did was wrong!

Well you have to keep in mind this is a kid's site too,and unfortunantly kiddos get mad when things don't go there way.
Now, I HAVE met people 15-and up who are just as immature.....seriously,though....if you can't take 5 mins outta your life just to read and commprehend site rules,then maybe being a member there is also to hard for you.
Honestly,I never read the rules but, they all kind of came naturally. I knew what I SHOULDN'T do because most of it is common sense.
Now,there are some rules here I find ridiculous but, I do not blame the mods or steet because half the rules here came upon request from other members on ways to improve here. So in the end we have no one to blame but, ourselves.
Everyone is for themselves in this site and life itself,and we all need to learn to take responsibility for our wrongs and learn right from them. Idea perhaps? Don't you remember your elementary teachers telling you I don't care who started it,you both were part of it? In those little fights?

NEWS FLASH: YOUR teachers were trying to tell you to learn to know right from wrong and if someone else is doing something wrong don't make it worse!
All in all, life is all about making choices. Ir goes for more than just this site. Its simple,you choose to follow rules or you don't. Just remember the mods are doing what they were asked to do.....

And yes I have seen some mods not do their job right before and break the rules....give them a chance like they give you. If they aren't doing there jobs right,tell steet. Its all so simple to solve things here.

I give respect where it's due. Yes, there are a few moderators here that could do a better job, and stop picking favorites, but that will probably never end. As for the whining about moderators- get used to it, it's not going away any time soon. As long as there are rule breakers, there will be people who throw out random insults at the moderators. I don't condone this practice, nor do I participate in it.

Like recently, we had a member come through, that it took five banning cycles to finally get him...he's on his sixth now, and has remained there. One moderator was behind this, the other was just there...that's the incompetence that I speak of here.

Anyways, it won't stop and not all moderators are deserving the disrespect they receive from some members. That's how I see it.

You revealed the identity. Anyways, I warned you folks, and what'd I get for it? A nice flaking...then he turns around and does exactly what I figured he would. It just floors me that it took that long to get him dealt with properly to be honest...

EDIT: And I didn't even get an apology for what he said to me...but, I can rest at ease knowing that I was only of the only ones that could see through his thin veil of lies about being nice, and completely changed...Besides, I never mentioned anything about him being banned, I was speaking of the unbannings.

I know that some Moderators don't deserve it.

Alright, it came across to me that they all deserve respect because they're moderators. I only respect the position, I could give a dang about the person if they're not worth the respect. ^^

PLEASE! The mods are supposed to be able to handle this crap! It comes with the job! Don't go and mouth off about certain things that have nothing to concern you in the first place! Some of the mods get themselves into this crap pile, and even so, some of them drive themselves deeper into it! God some of these mods are whiney, over dramatic, and put themselves on a pedestal! Well I say we knock the pedestal down! There are only a select few of them who actually do what they're supposed to! And for those that I mentioned good job! You keep the site the way it should be! But as for the rest of you cr-baby morons, GIVE IT UP! Stop feeling sorry for yourselves! Stop being unfair to us! And stop banning people for no reasons!!!
