There’s no problems questioning their work as moderators, and I personally just don’t want them being so trigger happy with bans and thread locks. Bring back “3 strikes and you’re out” and let good threads with good topics die on their own and clean up any messes inside. Not gonna sit around and give the mods a little sucky sucky and tell them their doing a great job, because clearly a lot of people think that their aren’t. No more saying “this thread has run its course, locking now”, if it’s run it’s course then let it die on its own.

People shouldn’t have to fear giving negative but good criticism in fear of getting a temp ban

Luckily how these forums are run isn’t your decision to make. There’s no reason to fear giving feedback or discussing whatever topics not precluded by the forum rules as long as it’s done in a respectful way. If you want to fight and shout abuse at each other do it elsewhere no one wants to read people playing out personal vendettas.

This advice works for the Rants forum, but that's pretty much it. The Rants forum is designed for people who want to let off steam, and therefore forum users know what they are getting into when they open a thread.

Users don't expect regular posts - especially in General Discussion and Feedback & Suggestions - to contain petty arguments that are completely unrelated to the main thread. Users open a thread because of how it's titled, and when the content doesn't match the title, it wasted their time...and people don't like their time being wasted.

For example, let's say there's a thread titled "What's your opinion on the drop rates?". Forum users will open the thread expecting to see players discussing the existing drop rates, perhaps some pros and cons, and suggestions on how to make them better. If they open it up and then see that halfway down the page players A and B are having a back and forth argument about something completely unrelated to drop rates at all, they will just leave the thread and ignore any further posts on it. I did that myself with the latest locked thread...it had some great discussions for the first couple pages, but then it turned into a cycle of arguments and thinly veiled insults, and I just stopped reading through the thread....that means that I probably missed some good discussions that were scattered in the middle, but because of all the negativity it wasn't really worth it to me.

I’m sure it’s not rocket science to moderate a forum. Especially these forums. We’ve all seen Voldemort mod or atleast most of us. He knows how to moderate the forum but in a way where everyone likes the dude. So I say if you can’t meet Voldemort’s standards then drop the position... you’re only going to cause problems here

I'm still of the opinion that it's the forum users, not the mods that cause most of the trouble. If you are respectful of others, follow the rules of the forums, and keep your temper in check, then you won't really have any issues with the mods.

Voldemort is a great mod, I agree with that. However, he hasn't been too active on the forums recently. As such, he hasn't had to make as many mod decisions, so there aren't as many opportunities for players to get upset about his decisions

Another thing to keep in mind is that different people have slightly different approaches to the mod position. Some are stricter, and others are more willing to overlook small infractions. Both are good in the right situations.
