Re: The REPORT button and you
Ok here lemme give some answers:
SERPION5: Well, yes, staff-made posts have the report button as well, so you can report them. If you believe a mod has performed against the rules/guidelines, abused his authority, or is otherwise being a bad mod, you've got two options (we don't really have a standarized system): What I suggest, and works best, is to send a PM to the immediate superior (if it's a mod or supermod, send a PM to an admin. If it's an admin, send the PM to either Arshes or Xaerun, since they're forum admins. If it's one of them being abusive, which has never happened and most likely never will, PM Neer. And if you think Neer is performing poorly, well, though luck I guess. It's his game to run after all). The person who receives the PM will make sure everything is handled. And yes, this system works, I can recall a couple of examples I'd rather not mention.
The other option is simply reporting the post. I prefer the other option, but if the staff member is doing insane shit that needs immediate handling (for example, the time I logged in while drunk and changed the forum header to a picture of me naked) then reporting is the best way to go.
And yeah we have our own way of handling troubling or irresponsible staff members (or rather, I should say the admins do) so it's not like a free for all power abuse trip here, or like we'll have a stroke and grind to a complete halt once a mod has been reported. We can handle it.
CLAYTON:
What we've got here is failure to communicate. What you wanted to do was appeal to an infraction, in order to do this the best way is to report the infraction itself (the PM you get as notice). What the mod probably meant was that, in order to appeal, you had to report the notice, and include all those sexy links as proof or argument or whatever they were and either he herped while explaining this, or you derped while understanding it. At least this is what I assume from what you've said.
