I think when somebody reports a post, the mods should at least throw a bone to the reporter to let them know "Yes, we looked" if not to let them know if an infraction was given. Many people, like myself, feel unfairly singled out by mods of a different lean, and it would be good to see that rules are being enforced fairly across the board.
 
My understanding is that mods look at every reported post, so there is no reason to tell someone they have. As far as bias goes, all infractions can be appealed and thus reviewed by the entire mod staff, guaranteeing a mod on "your side" is part of the decision.
 
All the mods review all the reports, so there is no need to notify you that a mod reviewed it. It would only be more time consuming for every mod to PM you when we read your reports.
 
Mods will also not notify you if an infraction was given or if any action has taken place. We do not disclose such information with other users.

I say this in all seriousness, if that happened, I guarantee there would be some people who would report posts just to get that little bit of mod attention.
 
We look at EVERY reported post.

Guaranteed.

Even the stupid ones.
 
Even when Mods themeslves make bigoted flamebaiting statements, somehow I doubt those are reviewed. I can smell the B.S. in this thread.

Everyone is subject to the rules, including mods and staff. My suspicion, though, is that "bigoted flaimbaiting" was actually simple disagreement.

Yuppers. I'm assuming everybody knows we're volunteers and don't get paid for all this, right?

Well, other than the fruitcake Vauge sends us every Christmas.... I have this strange suspicion that it is the SAME fruitcake every year, somehow coming back around in some horrid re-gifting vicious circle... erm, nevermind. :)

Yeah.. I don't even want to know what Zyph has done to that thing over the years.... /cough :eek:
 
Yeah, like for instance I always have Redress on my side. Who do yall have? :lol:
 
I'm still new here but I have to say I haven't seen any posts that are objectionable. Coming from Politico, I can tell you the people here are far more respectful and accepting of differing opinion and just love to "debate" the issues and challenge the content not the person posting the content.

That said, even at Politico where people were frequently subjected to all kinds of race baiting, hate speech, xenophobic vitriol, etc., I never found the need to report someone's comments as abusive. I felt it was a stronger tool simply to ignore the person - most loud, ignorant people hate being ignored.

Every reported post ends up being reviewed by all of the mods, as are the infractions which are given. Every mod is able to view every mod action (even one's that predate them becoming mods). If the mods replied to every report, they'd spend their entire day writing responses to people. Frankly they don't get paid enough to do that. Hell, they don't get paid enough to do what they already do, since it's all voluntary and unpaid.

And to make matters worse, I heard Dana broke the key off in the Executive Bathroom door.

The DM's do not have access to the executive bathroom anymore because of it. They just have a bucket with a seat glued onto it.

Shhhhhh. X Factor still thinks that really is the executive bathroom. He is so proud to pay us his 5 dollars a day to use it.
