ok i'll reply to your 7 points in order.
1. Make sure all users get equal treatment, and that we apply the rules evenly to everyone.
Due to the 3 tiered system of cam chat this will never happen. Guests are fucked over. Registered gets some stuff like password protected cams. Vip's get more font and supposedly anti kick protection.
You know that as the mod or admin, or whatever you are, you can just
NOT **** the guests over, right? Guests can also sign up, and then guess what? They are registered members. How can you act like treating people fairly is a no go, because certain levels of membership get different perks?
I don't think you quite get how bad that makes you sound.
2.If one person does not get messed with about something, nobody should be messed with about the same thing.
This one's easy. Religion and Politics. Not to mention when a certain someone died, Some chat ters were expressing joy at his death.
I mean cool, I guess? That had nothing at all to do with my point, but okay. We can explore this.
After that person(s) got banned, we were then told by the mod who banned her that even saying the name of the person who died was against the rules, regardless of context. Make fun of someone else who died, and it's okay, but not the person that this mod personally got upset over.
Again "
You upset me by saying something I personally do not like, so now it's against the rules"
3.If one thing is kick/mute/ban worthy for one person, it is for all persons.
That should be true yes. But we can ghost some actions, Most will never see. I'll silently kick/mute a youngun or groomer...or other people that needs to go away quietly. Some of those cases are then interpreted as mod abuse.
how does makeup get a 30 day ban for doing a bump on cam, but the person who was way more wasted and doing a lot more drugs at the same time get a pass? Oh wait, the person who banned her is also the person who was carrying a grudge about her talking smack on mic, and banned her for that before too, over a gesture no less.
Rule #1, do not personally offend thy mod.
4.Maybe sticking to the stated rules of chat too would be nice, without needing to create rules on the spot.
No. Simple I can't get a rule passed. Been trying for months to adjust the rules. i gave up 2 months ago with no reply at all....to this day no support from cm or admin...At All.
Let me get this straight. You can't get them to pass certain rules, so the solution is to just make rules up yourself anyhow, and enforce them like they are real? Do you see the disconnect here?
5.Mods should never use personal feelings when making a decision
Last i checked mods are humans..cept maybe me as i'm sweet innocent angel 😇
Right, I get it but let's be serious about this.
If one of your mods can't separate their personal feelings from the job, maybe they should not be using the mod account. If someone making a gesture on cam that you don't like triggers you and makes you ban them, then maybe that person is not really mod material. If you are kicking people who use the word "bastard" in their name because you personally think that word is offensive, while you are having a nice chat with Mr "hornycock4U10", maybe the job aint for you. How many examples do you want?
6.Mods should use a light touch whenever possible
Tried and chat blew up took a few days to get back under control. Won't try again.
except not really though. I am there pretty much daily, more than you are. You know what DOES rile chat up though? When the mods come through and carpet-bomb the place for stupid ****, and then it turns into half the chat trying to tell that mod to chill the **** out, and relax a little.
You want the truth? Even with the occasional spammers and weirdos, chat flows so much better without the mods there killing the vibe with petty ****. If we could just chill out and deal with the crazy ****, and leave people alone for the most part, there is not an issue.
7.Consider the spirit of the rules, and what the rule is intended to prevent. The no capslocks rule is a solid example, intended to prevent half the chat from using them constantly, just to stand out more. Not really intended to stop occasional use for a moment here and there.
That circles around to number 1..If i let pwurring use the occaisionaly cap i gotta let dadwantsetc to get away with DAD WANT XXX...
NOT happening.
I mean come on, use your head, Shaggy. There is obviously a difference between someone using caps to say
"OMG GUYS I AM SO EXCITED!!" and
"HEY GIRLS DAD WITH FAT COCK ON CAM LETS CUM XXX"
If the mods are too stupid to see that distinction, then it's a complete lost cause. Give them some more credit than that, dude.
I know this will set off a fire storm and ask me if i care. No i don't. these are my standpoints not chat aves or the staff.... Mine.
Wahhh friar typed again wahh
That's half the problem. You complain that nobody gets back to you, and that chatmaster does not care, and then here you are saying how you yourself do not care. You can invent rules and allow people to be kicked/muted/banned based on made up rules, because chatmaster wont approve your new rule suggestions, but you are powerless to adapt the mod style of your team to be more reasonable? Come on now.
You get that there are other places to go, and that most of the regulars are already there, yes? Maybe don't keep pushing them away when you don't need to.
