First off, let me just say my intention was NOT to attack anyone (killmanic specifically) with my beginning post. What would have been better was just to say "a moderator" instead of actually killmanic's name, so I apologize for that, but what's done is done.
My point was to ask if moderating in the live chat really IS different than moderating in the forums. According to The Fuzzy Pengui who stated, "Bigotry: Not tolerated at all; no forms of bigotry allowed in live chat or the forums," moderating appears that moderating shouldn't be different at all between the two, at least when it comes to bigotry. So it would make sense that something would have been done after the FIRST warning because the punishments are apparently now different for bigotry comments than other offenses. What happened was he was only "kicked" from the live chat and immediately, he came back (and slyly made a couple more comments...)
Obviously it turned out that it wasn't okay for him to make these comments, but the new rules to bigotry offenses were clearly not followed, so I decided to make this thread questioning if moderating is supposed to be different in live chat than in the forums.
I don't want to, nor care to argue people's opinions of killmanic's moderating. I'm sure it's fine, considering he is still a moderator. I was only questioning the actual moderating and if the new bigotry rules were actually going to be followed. The live chat wasn't very busy, he saw the comments.
Well, bjc, I dont believe you. Your post is still there, and it doesnt take much to read between the lines. Further, as it was pointed out, you were annoyed that you got kicked by killmaniac. To suggest this had nothing to do with this is , and that it was just coincidental timing is ridiculous, and certainly not believable.
If you further think that you are just here to champion a cause, or help us define chat policies, with no alterior motives, I would say that once again. I simply dont believe it. I realize it might be true, but in my opinion you are just lying.
As far as the situation goes, once again, I will point out that live chat happens "live" the forum posts last forever until changed. So, immediate action on bigotry does not mean immediate such as a trip wire. It means enough time for the moderator to process that it is bigotry, and is a kickable form of it. With the forums, there is plenty of time for this, because it is not live chat. But if someone is engaging a mod on another subject, and they are distracted, to expect them to read all statements, and make an instantaneous decision, and expect it to be perfect every time is ridiculous.
You may be telling the truth. You may even be correct. Im just simply stating that from what Ive seen, I dont believe you, and think you are at least exaggerating, and possibly even directly lying. Its obvious to all its a vindictive act, even if you are 100% correct.
This is nothing personal against you. Im simply telling you what I think, based on everything youve said, and how youve said it. You mentioned the other person slyly making comments, and I believe that is exactly what you are doing here. The fact that you are denying it makes it even worse in my opinion. I would suggest you read your initial post again, and maybe you will see how biased it actually is. Perhaps it was just subconsciously so, but it seems to be pretty blatent to me, and others that are posting.
In any case, your question has been answered repeatedly from what I can see here.
