I want to hear feedback from the EM community and I'd like to know what you'd like to see happening in the moderation team. This is a thread that everyone is welcome to express their likes/dislikes about the team, what needs to be improved, what should stay the same, what should be HC/ what shouldn't.. just a few examples.
I'm asking for constructive criticism, please don't be rude. This is the first step into making the moderation team better and it would really help getting the communities insight on thing.
-What should be HC? What shouldn't?
-Should HC consequences change?
-What changes would make the mod team better?
-Do you guys believe people are reporting out of spite instead of actually being offended?
1. sure, but this only applies to "why we think the rule should be handled this way" not "what this means for you as a player"
2. the reason i challenge this suggestion is because i believe that a rule should be well-written enough so that the explanation shouldn't be needed for the rule to be followed correctly. if it's hard to follow the rule because you don't understand it, then the rule needs to be written better.
this clearly doesn't apply when discussing the justification of how the rule is handled

Basing an argument off the quality of the user and in fact if you're basing your argument on the actual argument and deeming one as right or correct you are ignorant. The argument is surrounded by the actual action.
i know what it's like to be a mod and want to find ways to vio people you don't like or to get rid of someone being a nuisance. it's just the way it is and most mods are like that
-Do you guys believe people are reporting out of spite instead of actually being offended? HAHAHAHA G-GETTING OFFENDED ON THE INTERNET HAHAHAHA
*Ahem* Yes.

Mods are self-indulging narcissists with ivory tower syndrome. They can break any rule and it won't matter. The system is broken therefore I must act broken accordingly
You should educate your fellow moderators about actual racial slurs and not overmoderate HC by giving someone a HC violation for typing the word 'N' in a comment on the forums because you "believe" that they have the intent to type a racial slur. That is freaking ridiculous.

it's actually been painfully terrible lately

If you care about this website a whole lot you would at least abide to the terms whenever they are changed. Modsrthefkers though
that problem will exist regardless of how the rule change is presented. if they miss an announcement informing you of the rule change, they miss the announcement linking the thread that explains why we changed it.

Ignorance of the rules only leads to yourself to blame. If you're notified that they have changed, you have yourself to blame.
its not necessary at all hibiki but it helps educate the playerbase and can even serve to acknowledge them as well in some cases
for example, rutabs case where if it was brought up WHY the rule was changed, probably some people would be impressed the way it was changed to actually help lessen the severity of a rule a lot of people see as too heavily moderated (HC) because of a report moderated on female
instead, you had skillz make a topic complaining about the change in ruling because (and imo hes right) the wording you used makes it sound like the moderator gets free reign in no vioing his friends if he wants to
"Any other hateful derogatory language and content intended to offend will be left to the moderator's discretion."
btw, i don't think its necessary but there's some pros to it to help outweigh the cons
everytime hibiki posts, someone somewhere says the n word

For clarity.. so we don't get the excuse of "I didn't see it" or "I didn't know"

1.) If you put the moderators and the players in the same mindset, whether you/they agree or not, it allows everyone to at least understand where you're coming from.
2.) I thought I answered this before, but maybe I wasn't clear. It is necessary because the only thing it could do is benefit the players and the moderators. I don't see the downside to this. Can you, and if so, please explain?
