Swearing/Bypassing Swear Filter

*Note: Don’t lock this thread because I’ve gone through the proper channels and nothing was being done.

It has come to my attention despite several reports, nothing was done on a moderator who bypassed the swear filter. This was approximately 2 weeks back.

I told another mod, but the response I received was less than satisfactory. Told me to PM the other mod instead. If I brought it to your attention, at least forward it. You’re a mod, it’s your duty to maintain the boards. Deflection of responsibility is pathetic. Initially, I didn’t know that I reported the mod for swearing until this mod told me.

I could PM the mod in question, however, he’s guilty of breaking a rule and this should be handled by a non-biased mod.

Post in question

Use of the word “@sshole” by mod.


Yet I see this member receiving an infraction
ot-mods-seriously-out-control-1155832/

Is there a double standard that I don’t know about?


Is everyone all of a sudden simultaneously busy? We have more than enough mods, but some are more inactive than others. I don’t have problems with mods in general, but this is becoming ridiculous. It can’t be a coincidence that mods ‘missed’ this thread.

This is not a rant per say, but rather exposing the travesty in modding.

That seems shady to be honest. At least provide an explanation. It gives people the impression that mods are doing it to shut him up.

Why do you even have a quote that still implies Yao416 as a cheater from the OT Poster of the Year Contest? That's disrespectful. You must feel very good about yourself.

Diggler could have easily asked "why was I given infraction points for a post from over 2 months ago". But his titling and the main gist of the post says he's (what's the word) incensed. And the sentiment of his thread/post matches the rest of the posts/threads questioning mods from not that long ago.

That said, the thread being locked was likely a pre-emptive move by a mod (which one, no clue) to stop whatever was in that thread from starting.

At the very least, the post/thread does not read like the starter to polite conversation.

Alright...rather singling out Diggler like you did with your sig on Yao416, can you at least comment on the current topic without derailing it, please?

Hey,

Yes the swear filter was bypassed and I have talked with the mod about it. It shouldn't happen again. Thanks for the report. In the future if the mods are not helpful, please PM me with the situation.

Thanks
For all community related matters, please PM TomRFD
