Kale Posted October 24, 2008 Report Share Posted October 24, 2008 hello all. ^_^ today we will be talking about mini-mods. for those of you who dont know what that is, let me give you a definition: Mini-Mod[min-ee mod] -Noun Definition: A person who you see in a lot of threads that warn people with neg reps to not do something' date=' such as posting, when they have no real authority other than that. [/quote'] You see them everywhere. i just saw two in the same thread in the Questions section! do you think there should be something done with them? do you get aggravated with them when they tell you what to do? Does it make it even worse when they are not a mod, or anyone of high respect? Does it make you even more frustrated when you see that they have a rep of something like 20 or 30, when your rep is something above 100, or significantly higher? Do you think there should be rules that prevent them from doing this, such as raising their warning level? i know they are all in good intentions, but they really are annoying. it is like having your little brother/sister tell you what to do when your parents arent home. -_- Who supports? ready, set, go!

Luna Lovegood Posted October 24, 2008 Report Share Posted October 24, 2008 I support for this to be moved. Also, I think people should only be allowed to mini-mod their own threads! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kale Posted October 24, 2008 Author Report Share Posted October 24, 2008 I support for this to be moved. Also' date=' I think people should only be allowed to mini-mod their own threads![/quote'] true, you have rights in your own thread. ;) but in other people's threads, where they have no authority? edit: im not suggesting anything, this is just a topic of discussion. thus, i dont believe that this needs to go anywhere else but here. unless you can tell me otherwise, i should think that it should stay here.

Yankee Posted October 24, 2008 Report Share Posted October 24, 2008 From what I know, there are some sort of rules against it...I don't see it as a huge problem, but I do see why it can be. If there isn't a rule, there should be one. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kale Posted October 24, 2008 Author Report Share Posted October 24, 2008 No right to do said thing in other peoples threads (or to do other peoples threads) ...i think you are getting what i mean. such as, someone warns you to not post anymore or they will neg rep you, when that isnt their own thread. its aggravating... EDIT: Thanks Yankee. ;) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Enrise Posted October 24, 2008 Report Share Posted October 24, 2008 I know what you mean, except, what if it is supposed to be locked, and there shouldn't be anymore people posting in it, because otherwise it would be considered spam, you see what I'm saying?

Enrise Posted October 24, 2008 Report Share Posted October 24, 2008 I see what you mean, but it's like to prevent spam and raise post count with needless things. I'm not saying your wrong or anything, I was just saying something that was somehow realted with your point of thread. I completely understand where your coming from, and I completely respect it.

Enrise Posted October 24, 2008 Report Share Posted October 24, 2008 Kale and Necro-Lord...I accept your apology, because you two are one of my greatest best friends on here. Back on topic:I agree with...all three of our statements, even though Necro's was short and straight to the point, and ours was more, explainatory, we each have our own little, points of view. Well, time to end our little conversation. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
-Stoner-™ Posted October 24, 2008 Report Share Posted October 24, 2008 Agreed. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
♫Griffinsusername♫ Posted October 24, 2008 Report Share Posted October 24, 2008 agreed only if the rule becomes "only ppl with more reps than you can minimod." This also brings up the subject, can mods of other boards be able to have any authority in another board? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Enrise Posted October 24, 2008 Report Share Posted October 24, 2008 If they are a Super Mod, then yes, because they can watch over the entire forums, Mod, not sure, but may be possible. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MarbleZone Posted October 24, 2008 Report Share Posted October 24, 2008 Mini-modding can be annoying, but you can't really do anything about the occasional obnoxious member who feels like playing moderator. Reporting is obviously sufficient, but I don't think it's necessary to complain, neg rep or issue Warnings to those people - if a mod dislikes it, let him deal with it; if no staff member complains, leave it be, it's no big deal anyway. Hardly worth a sensible member's attention, move along. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest KAJN Posted October 24, 2008 Report Share Posted October 24, 2008 Actually when you say " I'm gonna give you a Negative Reputation" You will not just be breaking rules you will also be threatening the person. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Protoman Posted October 25, 2008 Report Share Posted October 25, 2008 One there is already a rule for it. It is not enforced enough though. I myself learn jsut to deal with it along with god mod and two yes only mod your own threads otehr than that you ahve no say in someone elses Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
J-Max Posted October 25, 2008 Report Share Posted October 25, 2008 We have a Custom cards rule on that now. Just posting things like SPMA! and REPORTED! Without actually reporting in gets a Warning. As a Mod myself I often put a "Verbal Lock" on Topics that need to be locked, In other words, anyone who says a commnet after myself when i've said to stop gets warned.
