So basically, how do I report a mod?

I seriously doubt cg would be surprised; he probably gets emails like this all the time. Getting complaints about your moderators is just one of the basic aspects of running a website that has moderators.

How do I report cg's mother?

xD nice chain btw

That didn't work so well in Portal.

I think he means through the steamgifts group chat

i mean pm on steam.

You can PM on steam.

What about PM"S"ing?

You mean Gaben's banhammer in TF2?

This was so good...

What has happened to you?

Why not?

You made a thread about it. Maybe too late to completely avoid public discussion.

The people demands it!

Was just saying is all, no call for discussion.

we want to know now :D

Technically didn't call out but guessed what it might have been at the risk of sounding weird if I was wrong about what this was about.

Were I wrong I would have guessed it would have had something to do with a suspension from 2 years ago in which case no one from back would be left on staff since they're gone.

Were you suspended for that? (Asking out of curiosity, not as a starting point for an argument or anything)

Anyways, I can see how that feels unfair but I've run (still do actually) a forum myself. One that's a lot lot smaller than this one and it's still hard to control what mods do and how they act and how each situation should be dealt with. When it comes down to it, the mods are just regular people who volunteered to help out in monitoring. They're not trained professionals like lawyers or anything. Different mods will react differently and the same mod will react differently to similar things on different days, etc., etc.

I'm not saying I agree with the mod in your situation but inconsistencies are inevitable.

Crossbourne even blamed it on provocation, like women are also the attackers, because they provoke rapists.

Did Crossbourne use these exact words, or is that your analogy? Because if he said that, it's supremely gross but if you're just using it as an analogy it make a bit more sense.

Crossbourne even blamed it on provocation, like women are also the attackers, because they provoke rapists.

Since users cannot see the tickets you link (only you and support can) I don't think anyone can tell that you are the one who made that analogy on that ticket and not Crossbourne. Please don't spread false information.

You were banned by lok on March 2012 lol Nice try though. You knew about his thread about spoilers and you had that ban coming.

Death by cop you could say.

I have had personal differences with one person of the support team too, but I consider them to be quite understanding and that.

I was a mod on some forums a few years ago. On one of them, the admin/owner was gone most of the time, so we were left to manage the place. Some of us were more strict than the owner would have been only because we wanted to error on the side of keeping things in order so the boss man wasn't annoyed if we slipped up on something. That could be why some mods here aren't as forgiving as CG, and I find that completely understandable. Not trying to kiss any butt here, but I think they do a pretty grand job.

I think they are quite discreet, ban motives are not public and they don't deride people publicy as far as I'm concerned.

Who mails the mailmen?

That avatar was mine long time ago :o I like this one more :D

I do it on a daily basis.

Actually you can

My point was that calling someone an asshole is hardly a big deal. We've had posts where people are piling on the OPs and the content of their comments is far worse that just a one-worded insult.

In this case, it appears the OP was calling a person making light of the Boston bombings an asshole. Fair comment IMO.
