Members SUPER VELCROBOY Posted March 30, 2008 Members Share Posted March 30, 2008 actually having many moderators are good when they do what they are supposed to do. However they do censor things that should not be censored. I rather have a bunch of mods who can shore up all the redundant threads and locks up all the lame parody threads. Phil misses a lot of things here. Just saying. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members Uma Floresta Posted March 30, 2008 Members Share Posted March 30, 2008 Because they have to carefully monitor each post so that all traces of individuality or even the possibility of controversy are carefully removed and their originators banned.

Members SUPER VELCROBOY Posted March 30, 2008 Members Share Posted March 30, 2008 you guys are missing what i'm saying. I'm not saying Phil is doing a bad job, but he does let many things go that shouldn't be. I come here a lot because i like effects, but i do know what a good moderated forum is supposed to be like (being to plenty others). TGP is not a good moderated forum because it is over moderated. HCFX is not a good moderated forum because it is way under moderated. You guys forget there was once upon a time we HAD NO MODS. For a good moderated forum, check out lakersground.net . Just my opinion though Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Members TheGareth Posted March 30, 2008 Members Share Posted March 30, 2008 I guess all the decisions made really come down to Phil's own discretion. It seems he's a laid back kind of guy and lets people have their own say. Nothing worse than a mod who deletes anything that carries a whiff of controversy. I know what you're saying, SVB, but if you see something that you feel Phil has missed or isn't suitable do you not use the report button? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'm here to discuss effects and enjoy them with different people around the world. I've used the report button like once. It's too much of a chore to have to be a snitch and I'm sure it's too much of a chore to be a mod also. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Members Wood Chuck Posted March 30, 2008 Members Share Posted March 30, 2008 +1 HCFX has ALOT of trolls. There are people who thrive on parody and OT threads. +1 as well. hCFX has lost many good members because it has become home of parody and trolls. Everyone has their fun here, and the mods allow it, but when it comes to good forums... HC does not hold a candle to forums which are actually moderated well. Phil won't ban for racist remarks, or tinyt bans for scat porn.... other forums will. HC loves it's OT and trolls.... good member usually end up elsewhere. It has happened and will continue. Name a good forum. Also, The fun and trolls and OT are what keep things going. Yes This is a business. There is still a lot of "good" people here. Look at me!

Members TheGareth Posted March 30, 2008 Members Share Posted March 30, 2008 Phil won't ban for racist remarks... I wouldn't be so sure as I seem to recall a thread where several remarks were made and I think people got banned for it too. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Members SUPER VELCROBOY Posted March 30, 2008 Members Share Posted March 30, 2008 I don't get you at all, man. First you say about how things aren't moderated that you feel should be then, when you have a chance to report it, you won't use it. first of all, I've been here quite a long time, like since 2001 or so. So i know the sort of mentality that goes on around here. I never said HCFX is not moderated, i said it is UNDER moderated, and better than it has been in the past. But the problem still exists with a single mod. Phil isn't here 24 hrs a day and is very hands off. I bet he isn't here 2 hours a day. But what can you do, he's only human. Further, I do not believe my pushing the button will lead to any meaningful change. This is because I do not believe the management is serious about moderation. If management was serious about it, then a filter would be in place to take out all the f words and all the blatantly trolling and an effort would be made to ease away all the petty fights. I know; I've been in them Instead, management has opted for a hands off approach and leave the people to moderate themselves, which as you know, doesn't work (ever). This is why i do not think management is serious about moderation. I don't blame them though. There is no gain for doing something that is such a chore. Why babysit a bunch of people on a forum and have them complain to you day in and day out? But good moderation can happen but takes 10 mods to spread out the work, but i doubt that will ever happen, because again i don't think management is serious. Until that is remedied, i probably won't use the report button much. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

OK that's fair enough, but I didn't say you said that this place wasn't moderated, I was simply pointing out the fact that you stated how things aren't moderated that you feel should be.

Members melx Posted March 30, 2008 Members Share Posted March 30, 2008 I think Phil does a good job, personally I think people should be able to say what they like. I'm not a fan of censorship and I like to think that most people behave pretty well. Trolls always get fed here, if everyone ignored them they wouldn't be a problem because thier posts would dissapear off page 1 very quickly. With Racist remarks and things of that nature, I'm not really bothered...I hear them in real life and you learn to deal with it or pull the person up on it. When UF made that Jew comment he got a right verbal battering for it, I don't really think a ban was needed. (plenty of christian bashing goes on without bans, or as far as I'm aware it does) People say things I don't like/agree with all the time, I deal with it. I dunno, the bottom line is I choose to come here, I think Phil does a decent job and I don't really see the need for change in that area. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
