Actually enforce your thread warnings.

Instead of letting one or two users you like who clearly violate the warning every post get away with it, but infracting everyone else. It's especially bad in the sports forum.

Yeah, because the rest forums are golden.

The same 10 weirdos spamming the same shit threads over and over and over with obvious lack of knowledge, but people pointing out they should stop or change games or anything of that sort, gets you a warning because the moderator reflects their personal feelings with "casual player", and gets personally insulted for some reason.

Enjoy this place for what it is, at least i hope they make ad money to stay afloat, its a fun little place to see how out of tune many players are.

Now in the very same threads where the mods won't do anything unless it's infracting people for being upset with the mods lack of action, they are now completely offtopic smh

The unspoken rule is there's a bit of a leeway usually given (or at least there was when I was modding) after a thread warning before you start cracking down. Usually like 10 minutes. Posts in that window that violate the warning get left alone, generally; they could easily have been writing or editing while the warning was posted, and then hit "submit" not knowing there'd been a warning issued.

It could also be that there's just no mod for that forum on and actively checking for violations. And make sure you use the report post function. It can take 24 hours or so in some forums, just because of mod schedules.

Beyond that, though, yeah. A thread warning should then result in slaps for anyone breaking the warning after that window of leeway closes.

You'd be better served if you had actual examples, FWIW. It's hard for the mod team to assess a generic complaint, but much easier if you point to thread warning here and violating posts there and there, well after the warning went out, without being infracted.

That seems the case in one particular forum. When I pointed out in a response to a dude that necroed a thread just to troll, he flat out admitted it, but I got infracted for my response and he didn't. I was called on for "trolling" and the troll wasn't. Needless to say "Please post constructively" came off as wildly disingenuous.

This forum seems to have a shortage of mods. There's four sections with only one identical mod. Literal echo chamber.

It wouldn't surprise Me if most modding nowadays is automated and done by robots.

They're definitely fairer and less biased than human mods anyway.

If I had to list every single violating post by a specific user here, we'd be here all day. About the same length of time for every violating post that I've reported made by that user. They openly flaunt it at this point, as if they know they won't be infracted for ANYTHING they do.
