i always thought there was a firewall between the mods and any actual decisions that happen on the website.

ppl should not have free license to be disrespectful to mods but they also should not have free license to be disrespectful to other posters in general! i'm just not sure how, given the level of discourse around here, "chickenshit idiots" is taken as some kind of unspeakable insult.

we could ban everyone who successfully executes an 8th-grade or higher-level diss on another poster maybe

Markers: I'm more likely to want to ban lashing out at one another (fuck, some sites literally do this!) than I am to agree that mods (who do the site and me a solid) don't deserve a bit of courtesy and the benefit of the doubt when modding.
I mean I'm not asking they get the awful fawning adulation that eg the metafilter mods get, but an out-the-gate combative stance adopted for anything beyond a title fix — on what is really a pretty lightly modded site! — has to go.
Sod one xposts bug am posting blind

I would insult you back jj but I can't without fearing for my safety

The current crop of mods don’t seem to deserve “the benefit of the doubt,” tbh. They’ve done one super hasty thing and now this questionable shit just in the past few days!
― markers, Wednesday, 22 July 2015 17:44 (eight years ago) link
calling ppl - mods or not - names on the internet is glorious its not cool for this site to become the sort of wienerland where calling someone a chickenshit idiot gets a tempban like were some reddit-reading pissbabies

i support the banning if it was done to provoke drama
― lag∞n, Wednesday, 22 July 2015 17:46 (eight years ago) link
i do support banning posters if it's for ratings or as a cliffhanger like when [redacted] was killed in game of thrones last month.

There is no rule about being nice to people on ILX that I am aware of. People have always been rude to each other here, and people have always been nice to each other here. If you want to put that rule in place, I think that’s a whole other debate, but it seems pretty clear to me from how things have gone for the past many years I’ve been here is that most things are tolerated between posters short of shit that is obviously beyond the pale. Calling someone a “chickenshit idiot” or whatever is totally not beyond the pale in the context of many other things that have been said here and allowed to stand w/o someone getting hit with a ban.

i've found how's life to be a decent mod generally, certainly an improvement over a few of the other ones that have been run out of mod office. and it should be noted in his defense that it was not he but stet who banned deej

Can't find the list of "words that are OK to say to mods" and "words that are not" Tom must have it.
The rule is "don't be a dick" and that was a dick thread.
― stet, Wednesday, 22 July 2015 18:08 (eight years ago) link
if you don't like it go start your own message board! jk wtf this is lame deej is a treasure.

really lagoon was super otm upthread when he said that deems & old lunch are the infantile ones for genuinely wanting to think admin staff are our mothers, a more adult environment is clearly one where they are our peers and we can say omg cusswords to them when their bullshit caprice causes issues, & I thought that was what we had

Yes, I genuinely think mods are meant to be our mothers, good read.
― Something Called Fudge (Old Lunch), Wednesday, 22 July 2015 18:16 (eight years ago) link
seems to me you can't have it both ways -- i.e. if jjustin wants to be treated like all the other posters even when he weighs in on mod stuff and be taken no differently, then you can't also say "we expect a different standard from posters when arguing about mod stuff to mods vs. other posters".
