Chat Moderation FAQ & Clarification

Message Rating: Topic Search Topic Options Post Reply Create New Topic Printable Version Translate Topic

I just wish the rules were clearer.  Someone I didn't know told me to die the other day and nothing at all happened.  Then they said my body should live because it could be "useful" and I should just die in my soul.  I haven't been in gc much since and I know other people who avoid it now who didn't used to.  I don't really plan to chat there anymore because I'm so generally disturbed. 
 I don't envy your job but flaming has been random and rampant lately.  Even outside of the language blocker.  It's not the whole community, but it just feels like a more hostile place lately.   I put a poll up when I started noticing this.  I wish more people would have responded to make it mean more.

Not calling for a totalitarian state, but a lot of us love moderation in gc and love the ban hammer.  Don't let haters get you down, Luna.  In your job, everyone will never be happy.  Just take it a step at a time and remember structure and codification are a moderator's greatest ally.  I hope you don'tn find that condescending because it's not meant to be.
