Moderator rudeness

[Atomic Pirate]

So, I was browsing my profile, when I stumbled upon my post comments.

It seems that Sydian decided it'd be funny to say this:

I wasn't even talking about you and didn't even read ANY of your posts. Calm your tits. -Sydian

I really think that some kind of action should be taken against this kind of stuff. This kind of language is inexcusable for moderators.

I'm considering quitting because of this, as the moderators on any forum should be polite, and should not insult users.

I believe that if you ever have a problem with a moderator the staff overall would like you to contact that mod in particular to see if you can solve whatever it is you have a problem with, even if you think the problem is the mod's behavior, before bringing it to the attention of the forum like here. Rudeness is often open to interpretation and I'm sure a lot of instances where someone came off as rude they didn't mean to and if you just talk to them you could find some common ground. If you think there is a general issue about rudeness though, that's another issue.

Anyway, the forum has word filters so lots of "rude" words can't be said normally. I'll admit that seeing "calm your tits" a few times now has made me wonder if it's meant to be rude or just another way of saying "calm down." I dunno if I think it's necessary to filter that word though, even though to me it comes off almost as risque as several other words that I can't mention here. I wouldn't really be sad if it was filtered out though.

If you have a problem with a member of staff here, please feel free to bring it up with them first of all. You might be surprised how receptive they are to feedback. If that fails, please bring up the issue to a member of higher staff (Super Moderators and Admins), and we'll deal with it accordingly. I'mma close this now.
