  • Do you think you mini-mod alot or at all?

    I mini-mod a bit when Im helping people out by telling them things are against the rules, but it turned out to be a habit...

  • I suppose I walk a bit of a fine line. When I report something, I usually tell the poster/thread creator what they did wrong as well as reporting it. I guess that could be mini-modding.

    Um, well I help people sometimes. Like if they post a thread in the wrong forum or something, I tell them where to remake it.
    On occasion if someone spams I tell them not too... but I don't think thats real serious Mini-Moding... I just try to help people so they know. x3

  • I don't really. I do tell some member what they are doing if it bad but I do it by PM. I don't go and inturpt the tread by saying what they doing is bad. I just send them a PM telling them what they did is wrong or against the rules. Mostly if they breaking sig rules.

    I USED to mini-mod. I just don't anymore. I'm hear to have fun now, not to take responsibility for other people... I do expect people to follow the rules, though~ 'Tis much more enjoyable. =P

  • I don't think I mini-mod, since I actually only use the report button and hardly ever post.
    I don't really see a need to tell other members to read the rules and stuff, that's the mods work, why should I even bother to do that?

  • Mini-modding benefits some moderaters because sometimes it knocks some sense into moderaters that lack controlling other community members.

    I don't mini-mod that much, but I do it when I need to.

  • I don't think I mini-mod; well, not now at least. If I see a thread in the wrong place I report it, but I don't think I tell them it's against the rules...just report it.

  • Wherever I'm not in the staff, I have a bad habit of doing it — which explains why I have so many staff at PUK and Serebii.net on my MSN list.

    Naminé believes that it is not what is being said that classifies mini-mod, but rather, what is the tone that is implied within during the post that is to tell another member not to do something else, or preferred to do something instead. The mini-mod tone has always been hailed as one of the classic example of a tone for an "elitist" and perhaps that is why it is dreaded...

    She can easily see that there are some occassion where the problem is so trivial that reporting it would be a waste of human resources... Something so small to be insigificant can always use a little push or a small guide from another regular member to enlighten the way instead. Such a content of a post maybe mistaken as "mini-modding" but it will depend on the tone, she imagines...
