Admins and mods who abuse their power - Page 2

I know for a fact what forum your speaking off SapphireStar i was banned for a completely different reason which really does not matter and all

But i completely agree i created a second account because they never answered my emails so i got banned forever i believe!

They didn´t gave me no reason for my banning and other members who were more "popular" or "veterans" were much more well protected i mean they made threads just to spam and yet the mods don´t do anything!

I think the problem is that you give 16,17 and so on year olds...the power to control a forum and they tend to abuse their authority! And if you ask me as soon as they do that they should lose their powers as moderators because it´s really unfair that you try to defend yourself and you end up getting banned with a motive like "You´re stupid!"

As for this forum i have no problems whatsoever so far

I not been on the recieving end of anything but i have witnessed it before. I don't mind mods doing things but i think the way some talk can be a little off. Thats the only thing that narks me. Especially when they are younger than me!

Its mainly those who think they are clever. The only ones to lose out are themselves.

Of course i think all the mods here are cool xXx mwah xXx

I know a ex/member who abused(well kind of) their power once.I wont tell you their name or show you the post, because I dont wont to affect their reputation.

Lets just say this ex/member has got a unusally large fanbase.

Lol, no Im sorry about that, got the wrong end of the stick!

And @ Jimmy, I agree that sometimes the age of the mod can be called into question, but there are some young mods on here who do a good job and on other forums. But sometimes the mod can be alot older then myself, like the forum I was banned from and spoke to me as if I was a child and believed they were better then me.

Changing another moderators name just for the hell of it is a good example of "power abuse"...

Careful, or your name gets turned into Failiguity XD

Just as long as you change your name to Beladork.

In other news, when mods continue to post in locked threads, I consider it a textbook case of power abuse. Unfortunately, I’ve been guilty of this as well

That happened on a different forum I used to post in. This guy left with a big F-U-all message, insulting many members in the process.(Of course...

) Then a mod locked the topic, but all of the other mods were posting in it as well just because the guy said nice things about them. I thought ''Shouldn't this topic be removed?''

hmm i really hate it when mods who are younger than me start to make an argument at me when i have something like.....higher posts/threads or something like that and they call it undermining their authority which gets me peeved when they think they can ban me for having something higher than them and i have never been nasty with them on the contrary i was very respectful and nice with them so i think all that power really got to their head.....
