So on a legitimate poll, whether you agree or disagree..
The mods have edited it.. once again abusing their powers...

Again justifying that some abuse their powers.

As for the rules, and punishments they do need looking at.
Yes the mods ban reocurring ban dodgers, as for the comments left they are lacking on some, ban dodger is fine, explainations like underage etc are fine, but some mods put "no" etc wtf does that mean... seriously...

Theres a rule about posting 1 add a month, some mods follow this rule others dont, ive seen many occurance over the years where users have posted more than one advert a week and no action taken.
I get that the mods and admin have lives outside of this site, but if they cant afford to spend the time on their role then why stay a mod..

Yes there are a lot of 1 time use member who join make a thread or a advert, then never come back.

Perhaps a can create a thread until X days active or X comments etc..
This would cut down on the dead threads, and people posting to threads years old.

For dead threads, say ones not commented or posted on in.. 2months, put them in to a archived section where they are closed and unavailable to be posted onto.

But seriously a mod is supposed to lead by example and changing a poll and falsifying the results isnt whats needed and just put my point across that some staff need removing.

It means that all these bans are all one person who has created hundreds of accounts in the last few months and that I have already banned them for the 5th, sometimes 10th times in one day sometimes before they even have time to post their spam here.

If knowing more details is really that vital to you to make your experience here more enjoyable you could have just asked me privately. I have no problem with providing information to members when I can. Someone else actually did earlier and I had no problem answering their question. As I said earlier today: if you look at the few first pages of the ban list the majority of these accounts are one single person who created all of them. Sometimes there is just nothing particularly interesting to add, really, especially if that person did not even had the time to activate their account...

Furthermore, you have to bear in mind that when we post a comment as ban reason we are primarily addressing that person who gets banned and not the whole getDare community. The ban list was not public for a while, that was a feature that was added a few years after the site was created. And most forums do not disclose such information to their users at all.

*sigh*

You're so hypocritical. Just look at what you wrote in the quotes part above.

One
I am pretty sure that all the Staff members follow the rule of posting one advert per month. Watching out for other (non-Staff members) posting multiple adverts per month is something else. How are the mods able to remember exactly who posted an advert in the same month already when dozens of new adverts are posted each day? They can't unless they have a built-in tool for it, which they probably don't have.

And now, you're complaining about those members that post more adverts per month and about the mods not taking any action. You tell the mods to take action, yet you take no action yourself. Have you ever thought about reporting those adverts?

Two
Then you start talking about mods that should be a leading example, which they are actually. You say they should be a leading example, but you shouldn't? Come on man, you have 1,270 posts and have been here since 2013. Why don't you be a leading example instead? By the way, making a thread such as this one doesn't belong in my idea of being a leading example. Does it in yours?

Furthermore
I find this thread rather laughable in a weird, sarcastic way. A poll has been added to this thread for others to give a clear answer about they think of the current staff. I voted for no as well for all the other people who voted in the poll. I slowly saw the poll results (regarding the no) changing from 6 to 7, to 13, to 17. These are legit voted, and none of the people ever voted for yes. Because the answer was clear to everyone except you, a mod wanted to do something fun. Afterall, this thread is to laugh at.

A mod obviously took this joke of a thread and made it funnier. I know you berks are hyped up because you voted in a silly Brexit vote lately, but come on - lighten up.

I think a staff clean out would be rather drastic. We've had times that some individuals definitely felt a little too empowered but from what I can see now is that most of the active staff are excellent - they moderate the website and they're helpful to the members.
Also, think about the majority of the website and who they would vote for - do you think that the general userbase will make an informed decision on who is suitable? There's quite a lot to moderating that you don't see (in fact, you're not supposed to notice) but there's still people working to make the website a smooth experience.

I do feel that the rules could be updated for more clarity. This is something that should happen with all rules and regulations as changes in circumstances do occur. And also, it should decrease staff/user aggravation. It's a simple point of communication.

Though I have to agree - even if the OP wasn't worded neutrally, that's no reason to want to close it. They were valid questions (even if not completely well thought through) and not breaking any rules. It's the type of thing that would only contribute to OP's reasoning.
Obviously it's well appreciated that it wasn't closed and I'm just really hoping there won't be another trend like that.

Edit; Would have voted yes for clear rules but no for dumping the mods, but the poll wouldn't have given that option anyway I think?

This made me giggle

I love how serious Centurion is, like it's a matter of life and death. It's a bit of fun, it's a website, we're all just people here to have a laugh.

And regarding the ban list, honestly, Centurion, you're lucky you/we can view it. Many forums would not have one, and would not disclose reasons for banning members other than to the banned person themselves.

So the staff arent going to own up to editing the poll...

Guess that just shows how much they abuse their powers.

Edit- Mods may as well close this thread since one of them wont even allow it to play out fairly without f#cking around.
Thanks for making my point though

for the record, this staff member did not edit your poll nor does she care about this thread. im sure whoever edited it did it to lighten the mood since this thread was made in poor taste, rather than to be malicious.

I agree with you. The only reason I mentioned it is because unfortunately when questions and threads like this come from a place of inflated entitlement and an obvious personal agenda it's hard to keep a discussion civil. But as long as it is (and so far it has) I see no reason to close it since the part of the thread regarding the rules is actually a good question. And also because so far it has provided a bit of entertainment to some of us.

Seriously, dude... Get over yourself. The yes/no answers weren't edited anyways, only someone added an extra that seems to reflect what the majority thinks of this poll.

What exactly did you think would happen here? I mean... even if this poll had gone the way you were hoping it would it still does not change the fact that you do not own this site. Sorry but I can't help to find it hilarious that whenever someone gets out of their way to point accusing fingers and whine about how horrible the staff is they always find a way to clearly demonstrate how they wouldn't be fit to take on the responsibilities they so badly want to take from others.

P.S. I had no idea who edited the poll until now because I "abused my powers" to satisfy my curiosity.

First, no one agrees with your point of view. So that's exciting.

Second, your points have been systematically debunked. So, if there's nothing wrong with the mod team, there's no reason to change anything, right?

Finally, as has already been pointed out, if you want to make the community better, play an active role! Apply for the moderation team (though making topics such as this "just shows how much" you likely wouldn't be suited for the responsibility the position entails. However, just because you screwed up your own chances at "powers" doesn't mean you can't continue to be a helper! When you see the advertisements which infuriate you so much that you somehow get the idea in your head to defame the people who volunteer their time to create and assist with a site you use, just report them! I can assure you, reports are taken care of in a timely manner.

if you wish to help out become a

PAID MEMBER

Like most of the current moderators are/have been. all paid donations help to pay the gD bills and keep the site running.

--------
adverts are 1 new advert every 7 days. we have a system in place to stop users creating extra. however people sometimes create 2nd accounts to get around rules etc.

bumping threada/adverts. again we have infractions in place. YOU DO NOT KNOW who we have punished and whi we have not. -- as said before, there punishment depends on previous infraction points.

SIMILAR. to driving a car and picking up 3 points on your license. at first this may mean nothing, hiwever if have already got points from offenses. you maybbe banned.

I have a suggestion: Centurion, if you don't like the way the site is, why don't you just stop using it?
