| S Nov 23, 2018 at 10:03 | comment | added | Rand al'Thor Mod | This comment discussion was getting pretty long and off-topic, so I've moved it to chat. I tried to leave enough comments here that nobody should feel silenced. | |
| Nov 22, 2018 at 23:22 | comment | added | Journeyman Geek | Lots of rooms self regulate well. I hardly if ever need to deal with users with moddy powers. 'not all of us' clearly didn't work. When the very first reaction I got coming on was toxic and no one said anything.... Just cause I was a mod somewhere.... I don't really think it's a few bad hats alone. Evil prevails when good people do nothing. I have always been a proponent of local moderation first but here it failed. | |
| Nov 22, 2018 at 19:35 | comment | added | user31178 | It has come to my attention that my comments above may come off as accusatory of moderators, or ignoring my own presence as an off-site moderator that frequented Mos Eisley (well, a frequent that became an off-site moderator). I want to be clear that I believe there was a total lack of structure and not enough guidance for moderation of chat, stemming from SE's inability to realize it hasn't scaled up its practices and expectations, issues which have led to the new "aggressive enforcement" of self moderation of chat (AKA refusing to fix the root problems) and even a new theory of moderation. | |
| Nov 21, 2018 at 13:28 | comment | added | user31178 | The revisionist history here wants to paint all the old Mos Eisley users as tainted and failures of self-moderation, but many were chatting in good faith, appropriately, and took the only actions they could do without help from those with more authority: Ignored the problematic users and conversations. As much as the gossip of the TL and heavily jaded opinions of CMs on the matter would like everyone on the network to think Mos was really a hive of scum and villainy, it was in fact a place of camaraderie and community building that was failed by the SE network. | |
| Nov 21, 2018 at 13:24 | comment | added | user31178 | Sorry, no. This is the biased opinion that happened after a few users soured some network mods on Mos Eisley, and they started looking at Mos and its regular users through crap-colored glasses. We weren't "causing a lot of trouble", those heavily-complaining visiting mods, local mods, and CMs merely completely failed to handle problematic users consistently, fairly, and with proper escalation (as opposed to the slap on the wrists followed by explosive punishments). There was a clear bias happening against the whole room, compared to other problematic chats on the network. | |

As for me, I am an idiot who has to much to drink and fires back at people b/c I have lost a lot of self control over a situation that annoys me. Obviously, this has got me banned several times on many of the Stack sites. Is that an excuse? absolutely not, but I am not an employee and I am on the site voluntarily, which the other users are too. Bottom line is, Stack has issue and it is "If you don't agree sit down and be quiet", which is what frustrates. | |

He lost his cool over a place that was causing a lot of trouble and users who weren't exemplifiing the best of what SE could be. It's not the same when someone has a moment of sheer annoyance against someone who keeps doing stuff that annoys others just cause. | |
