My suggestions are as follows.
1: Every mod should be required to take screenshots of every kick. This protects you as well as suppress any suspicions of wrong doing. Also prevents mods from trolling.
2: Do not require people asking for their ban/kick reason to provide their own screenshots. They can't. They were kicked.
3: Mods who can't provide screenshots on forums should be reprimanded. When I was a mod if you kicked someone and got called out and couldn't provide a screenshot for it our admin would yell at us. If it happened too many times we were fired. Even the bots. You never knew when those sneaky trolls would pretend to be a bot and then complain on forums.
4: People saying someone is harassing them without screenshots is not a valid reason for action.
5: The badge should never be used for defense of anyone's actions.
6: The history of a mod should never carry any weight neither should chatter/mod seniority.
I am not trying to troll or start a fight. I really think at least requiring screenshots from mods will make chat a better place even if the other suggestions are not considered. Whether you are on mobile or pc it can be easily done. It creates a system of accountability and also safety for mods and ******** alike.
With all this being said everyone who has been here long enough knows there have been bad mods at one point or another. The badge does not mean integrity. The next time you see a kick complaint don't automatically assume the person is in the wrong. Wait for the mod responsible to show a screenshot.
P.S. Yeah I know I will get heat for this, but I can take it if it makes chat a better place.
