Alter Aeon Rules of Conduct
Rule 16.5 - Moderators Should Vote, Not Argue
Moderators are people, and players, just like everyone else. The same
complaints about power abuse hold between moderators as normal players -
one moderator challenging the actions of another results in the same
bullshit arguments that can be found on normal channels.
Because of this, moderation actions do not show on the avatar channel who
performed the moderation. All you'll see is that an action was taken,
and an ID number of that action.
If you're the person that made the moderation:
- Your name was hidden for a reason. Don't announce that you were the
one who did it.
- If you get positive or negative votes, try to understand why and learn
from it. This is how new moderators should learn.
- Don't be afraid of getting negative votes. Moderation is a minor, quick
thing that wears off automatically. It's ok to make mistakes.
If you see a moderation happen and you feel strongly about it:
- If you disagree with an action, or if you agree with and support an
action, you should vote on the action.
- If you have extra things to say about why, try to say it in an unbaised
way: eg. "I don't think that really qualified as spam"
- If necessary, ask a question on the avatar channel if you really don't
understand why something is being up or down voted.
