Marwood did because Marwood was the one who put the Beyonder onto the account merge process in the first bloody place!

I didn't though.

I've sent two clear, calm emails. Never even received a reply

That goes back to our points about getting what you pay for. They don't have time. I sent one such mail once and the mod did a detailed reply and noted that it had taken them 2 hours to construct it. They aren't actually as technically competent with the board software as we are, as they don't use it. So the mod was annoyed, as I'd effectively wiped his day out. We shared replies, each time with me making what I thought were clear and a factually accurate points in support of my case and the mod each time would gloss over those points.  So it was a waste of both our times on that occasion. On the flip side, I have had points overturned.

I have always had mixed feelings about this subject. One day I don't give a damn, the next I feel that sense of moral indignation. One day I'm on the mods side - let's face it,  what a job, moderating us lot - the next I want to scream when moderation actions blatantly 'fail' (in my opinion of course). Online is no different to real life. If a guy upsets you in the pub, you react, however calm and dignified you may be. If the guy on the phone at the company who has mucked you about won't listen to reason, it drives you nuts. And you react.

So that's why some of the most prolific boardies, and me, are here in this thread discussing a topic which some might say we should all get lives over. 

I have humped the button about three of four times in the two and a bit years I've been here. Two were retaliatory, and two were to test the process. I felt petty each time. So its not something I think I'll ever do again. Until we get a full time admin person on here,  who can add the value I outlined in earlier posts, we're stuck with this system. So best we get on with it. The resource isn't equipped to assess each button hump in a contextual way. The rules are clear enough, so if the mod sees they've been broken they'll likely act. They don't have time to say "oh, it's greggy, so that's an in joke". They probably don't know who greggy is even.

Who does? :shy:

The main issue with the process as I see it is that it is inherently unfair. As I said earlier,  if person A masks swearing ten times, and no one reports,  they get away with it. If person B swears once, and gets reported,  they get moderated. So it is possible to get someone banned by reporting their every transgression. Hence people like lizards2 starting to back away for fear of a total ban. Lizards2 is a great, long time poster here. It would be a sad day indeed if he were banned. And others like him. So the mods need to look for the patterns,  to see if people are being 'ganged up on'. But they don't have time, do they. And admin,  in the main, fail to intervene preferring instead to put their faith in the process. The cheap, poorly conceived, inaccurately administered, unfair process. 

So to conclude, the only way to improve things is to ramp up the resource. Hence my suggestion of an annual fee to pay for a full time administrator who's sole focus is to make this place as fair and effective as it can be. It'll never happen of course, as who aspires to excellence nowadays, when the bare minimum gets them by? And if a few valued contributors fall foul, hey, it's a chat forum. No one died. 

To be fair, most moderators I reach out to do reply. I just disagree often with their conclusions. lol

But the emails I sent were specifically sent to Collectors Society higher ups on the quality of moderation. And those emails went unanswered.

Yes. Like I said, moderators reply to that link (or when I've messaged them directly) but I was not talking about that.
