Rules against "backseat moderator" posting?
Rules against "backseat moderator" posting?
While kind reminders and such are nice, and yes, I'm guilty of this too - backseat moderating just drags a thread's topic further OT rather than the intended effect of putting it back on topic. I think there should be rules against backseat moderating - if something violates the rules, report it?

Re: Rules against "backseat moderator" posting?
I understand you, Haruna.
on one hand I like, that it can give a ''advice from mate'' friendlier than a ''rude mod'', which is good for bumps or off-topic, but in some cases it's useless, especially when a mod must edit a post to solve the problem (delete something like rule-breaking link, nasty/nude picture, piracy, spams etc.). Than is always using the report button much better both for other members and mods too.
We'll discuss it.

Re: Rules against "backseat moderator" posting?
Well, I consider myself a bit like "moderating" a bit some threads so I feel concerned about the thing... So if you think that my last post was some kind of joke or spam, you're off the rails. Damn!Lukeno1 wrote:TGF, this is not a time for jokes.
Re: Rules against "backseat moderator" posting?
You also need to be careful with what you're saying. Re-read that post and see what I mean. And there are enough actual mods to sort things out, we don't need pointless posts from non-mods. Report it and let the relevant mod or admin deal with it.

A moderator is a moderator, his job is making sure everybody follows the rules to one extent.
A regular user is a regular user, whose job it is to post. Not moderating, otherwise he would be a moderator.

Re: Rules against "backseat moderator" posting?
You know, that you're doing wrong, but you're doing it anyway. Raph, we all hare are very patient people, but you're risking sometimes a lot. However you don't need to kill yourself, a ban (at least temporal) would be completely enough. Last warning, be careful to not post off-topics any more in future, otherwise ....яαρнαєℓACϞDC wrote:... i must kill myself because there's not an excuse for all my offtopics (including this one) and bumps.
