PPCGeeks boycott?? - Page 4

/\ I only know of one time, and it was when a thread was closed that we decided was the wrong decision. It happens. The thread was reopened an hour or so later.

Anything else you may be referring to I am not aware of. But regardless, I don't think anything seriously wrong has been done, and harping on it will make a bigger deal out of it then warranted.

Probably came out wrong on his post, but I can assure you that's what he meant

Patmannyc I tip my hat to you for trying to defend the integrity of the forum.

I don't think I'm TRYING, like I said I haven't seen anything that would justify a big argument.

What's with all the mod bashing? Sometimes I don't like when a thread I'm having fun in is shut down, but this is a PPC forum meant for discussing PPCs and software/hacks/mods for PPCs. If you are discussing other items, flaming, being annoying, etc. then there is a perfectly reasonable expectation that the thread will be closed. If it sometimes seems that one mod closes more threads than others, then it is possible that person is online more often or has been assigned the 'thread closing duties.'

Really, none of our lives are made any worse by the decisions any of the mods make. As a matter of fact, it is directly due to their diligence that PPCgeeks is such an enjoyable site to be a member of. I've been here for a long time. Not once have I thought 'That mod sucks so bad I want to leave.' Quite the opposite. Most of the time I think 'Man I'm glad a mod took care of that fiasco.'

And, if you get upset with a mod, why make it public or keep a record of everything you feel they did wrong? Send them a PM to see if you can resolve it privately. If not, ask the mod you are having an issue with whether another mod could serve as an intermediate in your situation. If things are handled well on your part, I can assure you the mods here will do all they can to handle things well on their end.

i had a disagreement with that guy, and let me tell you he's narrow minded. i used to be on that site, and it was nothing but trouble makers trust me(all talk and don't know nothing about our phones). ppc geeks by far is the best cell phone site i have ever been on. this site has taught me a lot thank you guys very much peace. oh forgot about xda developers great site sorry lol!

It definitely came out wrong. What you actually talk about is your business, the fact that you actually discuss it is more general knowledge. I would not expect you to post the info that you talk about on a specific user but saying that decisions are made by more than one mod is worthy of users knowing.

Moderators should be held just as accountable for their actions as the standard user. They may be less likely to break certain rules but are you saying they should be allowed to do it? I think not. A mod is nothing special, they were once a user and are now chosen to volunteer their time to help make the forums better. If they are making the forums worse, either by posts, abusing power, not using power etc. They should be held just as accountable. I have seen mods loose their job before, they are not invincible and some take the position too far. No one at this site seems to have that problem but I would argue that some mods are more strict than others. Having set rules for users and set punishments might help this. Also making sure that mods follow their rules from the admin is crucial. Feedback from the admin should be often, whether it be good job, or this could have been done better. That would help even out some of the discrepancies between mods.

Nothing I have seen is really a big deal but it is slightly frustrating when one mod tells you something is ok, by leaving it open. And another mod comes and closes it later. Just annoying, nothing we can't all deal with.

Dear Goddbody,

You have received an infraction at PPCGeeks.

Reason: Spammed Advertisements
-------

http://forum.ppcgeeks.com/showthread...679#post200679

we dont need that here. if you have any questions or feel you did nothing wrong, then dont hesitate to contact me or another moderator. have a good day.
-------

This infraction is worth 1 point(s) and may result in restricted access until it expires. Serious infractions will never expire.

All the best,
PPCGeeks

This is too funny!! Now I recieved an infraction point for spam advertisement today after voicing my opinion . As I recall it this is how it started out with ole dude who started the boycott ppcgeeks petition. I guess I am next on the chopping block. I think I can strongly defend me arguement at this point.

For one I spoke to Wideawake before Christmas about developing a Noob site to help assist with the redundant questions that were being asked in the forum. I also created a forum for them over there to discuss issues. Noobs own place. Wide saw the site Pibe saw the site no points for the aledged spam ads. Now today some petty Mod who didnt like what I posted decides to check me out and decides to give me points for a website that has been up for months now. Now thats personal. So I'll be direct. Pibe and Patmannyc do a hell of a job moderating the rooms, but it's that childish and petty 2% that this very thread, Thread in question, and others that gives merit to the guys original arguement as well as my own. I think I rest my case. Drops mike walks off the stage.......

Exactly. Can we move on now?

The biggest problem is that us users were attacked for voicing our opinions about the mods. That is the reason that this thread has not died. If the mods would have taken our opinions with a grain of salt then this thread would have died where it belongs. I think this is especially evident that the most prominent mod on the forum (Pibe3

simply quit posting. I'm sure he read everything as he usually reads everything, but he read the comments, understands them, and moves on. It is the mods that felt the need to defend themselves that kept us explaining our thoughts. I think this has reached and pointless end and should be closed. I'm sorry you didn't like our comments, but they are what they are, comments. Take them or leave them.

I'm staying out of the spam infraction but that does sound pointless if true. I would suggest the admin looking into it to make sure the mods did as they should have. Giving an infraction for a post months old is just dumb.
