Everyone
This is getting out of hand. I've been getting about 10 complains about the staff a day, about some of the horribly mean things you've done.
Do not keep yelling at people for 'modding' Its not modding when they say 'dont type in all caps'.
And running around posting on every single board "DO NOT MOD", is just as much 'spamming', as all the other users are doing.
You are filling up the forums with the same message, over and over.
The point of the moderaters are to lock, and delete boards that are violating the rules. It is not to herd the members, or tell them what to do.
With teh recently combined jobs, you have taken on the responsibility of freezing users who break the rules.
Nowhere in the rules do I see 'doing a mods job'.
I know you feel you are the ones in power, and you are. But yelling at the members constantly is going to make you loose that power. You won't have power, if there is no one to govern.
I've already got notes today, of users telling me they aren't going to go on the forums anymore (and two of them cancled their GA subscriptions, saying they woudln't donate to a site with staff who treat users like that).
So, take your pick. You can keep going like this, locking every board a user says 'do not mod' on, or you can lighten up a little bit. I understand if 500 users say it, then warn the 499 who posted it after the first. But otherwise, its not that big of a problem, and there are way more important things you can focus on.
So, its up to you. If you don't like what I've said, please tell me to take you off staff in the comments. We have to many UA's anyways.

VileFuge: Can we talk about this
*** Auto-response sent to VileFuge: Sleeping.
VileFuge: your getting 10 reports a day from users
VileFuge: and Im getting just as many from staff
Plagued Eternity: Staff are upset, becuase they are loosing their power.
VileFuge: Not at all its not just that
VileFuge: they are not being listened to
Plagued Eternity: And, the reason behind that is becuase they are focusing their ... focus, on trivial things such a s someone saying 'Dont post in all caps', rather than the actual bad guys.
VileFuge: yeah i can see that too
Plagued Eternity: Thats their own fault, there is nothing I can do, to make staff be listened to.
Plagued Eternity: I tell them.
Plagued Eternity: 'Dont get verbal warnings, freeze them'
Plagued Eternity: Its called setting an example.
Plagued Eternity: But yet, all of them have to be heartful and give people 500 verbal warnings.
Plagued Eternity: And even then, they refuse to give them a real warning.
Plagued Eternity: They've dug themselves into this hole, they can dig thereselves out.
VileFuge: but I dont agree that the users should be moding and creating 10 posts bashing or telling a user what they did is wrong. Thats why we have a reporting system.
Plagued Eternity: I also said on there.
Plagued Eternity: One post is enough.
Plagued Eternity: After that one, then you should just warn those people.
Plagued Eternity: If say, user makes a board called OMG LOOK !
Plagued Eternity: and user2 posts 'Dont type your post in all caps :)'
Plagued Eternity: Then, thats fine
Plagued Eternity: But if user3-10 post the same thing, user 3-10 should get warned.
I dont think the REAL enemies are the ones trying to HELP subeta.
