    Not everyone reports it, they are all afraid of being called a Rat, or a squeeler, I don't know why, its not like you make the names of the people who report public. But they still don't do it. and I think that an MA would be a good idea, I mean I know that not everyone has a great grasp on Moral values, but being a Psyciatrist, I know how people feel to be critizised for no reason, I just think that a few or just one MA would be a good idea.

    I had to make it anouther Thread, you closed the other one without letting me explane, Don't do that..... it makes me feel bad... I also think that a person sould be forwarned before you are going to close it, so that they can eather defend themselvs or explane....

    one more thing! *AKA edit*
    I also balive that anyone who makes a thread sould be alowed to close it, instead of haveing to wait for a moderator or somthing, because sometimes a moderator is not around and the one who makes the thread sometimes feels like it sould be best to close it, (this to should have a pre warning for thoes who post on that thread regularly).

    I'd appreciate a reply to what I said before.

    As criticising as this may sound...

    Pretty much all of PC's activity nowadays lies in DCC, Funtime, and to a smaller extent, Member Fanclubs. The only place out of these three that ever really needs moderation is DCC, and it's quite easy to see posts when they're all kept within the one thread.

    For that reason, I don't think this idea would be of much use.

    I closed the other one because it would have ended up heading in a bad direction.

    The thing with this MA is that they would just be another staff member that does exactly the same thing as the rest of us do. They'd have to a bot to catch all the stuff we miss.

    As for the "Rat/Snitch" thing; Noboby see's the reports but the staff, so unless the reporter makes it public themselves nobody will know who reported what. I'll leave this open this time to see what you have to say.

    Out of the hundreds of members I've seen here, I can think of... about 5 who would use that properly.
     
    That is why this subject sould be talked about, if it doesn't go in any derection then what good would it do.

    I have seen what is going on around here and I balive that the Staff really isn't cracking down as much as they need to, I have seen some people, (not naming names) that have let other people get away with things because they are friends, I just think this shouldn't be.

    I know that we all have freedom of speach, but there sould be limits to what you can say, like before you didn't alow any cursing, and now only with a prewarning that there is going to be some.

    Said perfectly. Members being able to close their threads isn't really needed. We have plenty of upper staff members who would be happy to close it for you.

    EDIT: We don't not show favoritism towards people we are friends with. They're are regular members just like everyone else. I can name a few friends of mine who are banned because of what they have done.

    It all depends on when you get on. I know that the mornings (6am GMT-6) don't have alot of staff members, but right now, there's plenty of upper staff to lock stuff.
    Usually, when I get on, there's at least one upper staff person on.

    Don't forget the mods too -- You can PM them if they're on :3
     
    That's just it... evryone (almost) is in there own time zone, so you can't possibly have a Moderator there all the time, and don't stray from the subject... oh wait your not... well, I just have my opinions.... and they are strong.
    *edit*
    and they don't always respond by the way. I myself PMed a Mod to close my Thread and I was compleatly ignored...

    Um...It's good to have mods on in different time zones. This way we should have at least one mod at all times.

    To sum this up, We are the MA's, it is up to you if you want to report what you see is wrong so that we can take care of it. Actually you are already the MA, just all of you don't report when you see something wrong.
     
    I shouldn't need to repeat myself like this.

    They might not be on, but you can still send someone a PM (or report it) -- everyone on the higher staff (well, except one) get on every day. Most mods do too.
    Report it and be patient. :/

    I personally see no need for a MA, when the staff already does it. If it's seriously offensive, it gets taken care of. Again, you just need to be patient. We can't be on all the time, but once we know if it, it gets done as soon as we can do it.

    Exacly! Brovo! Well said!

    *slaps self* seriusly, not many people accualy report other people, I try my best, but what i do isn't enough, I have seen mods flag reports that I have sent.

    I balive they think that I over react or somthing like that...

    ~JBCBlank
     
    Ty we see your posts. We know the DCC is big and can get out of hand. That's part of the reason why some staff have a regualr activity level in it.

    JBC, all you can do is encourage people to report and we'll get to it as soon as we can. Thank you for your concerns as well.

    I just think that when people read this they wont be so reluctent to report other people, Incuding (especialy) there friends. Things shouldn't be waved, it should be delt with when it is found, and also it souldn't be crushed just because you don't like it, it shoud have a level.
    Like it souldn't be gone just because it has something religuse on it, (even if the religon is against, or not, your own).
    But insulting some one stone coldly is not right!

    reluctant* especially* their* waived* shouldn't*x2 should* religious* someone*
    Sorry, that was bugging me.

    Obviously, people are going to report if something is wrong. And the higher staff don't understand EVERY area, so we can't judge entirely correctly in some areas. Therefore, we leave the report to a mod from that area. I think I answered that right, I can't really see what you're getting at.

    I think he's trying to say that we should report our friends if they do something and you shouldn't close religious stuff.

    Well, that's what I get. I think PC staff doesn't show favoritism at all o.o;;
     
    He's saying some people are not reluctant in reporting things, especially if he/she is a friend. Things shouldn't be put off; they should be dealt with accordingly, and they also shouldn't be put down because of personal dislike. For example, they shouldn't be gone because of religious content.

    At least, that's my interpretation of JBCBlank's post...

    Kurosaki, you forgot dealt* =P

    Ooooh, XD
    Well, if a member chooses not to report, then that is their business. We can't force members to report, bias or not.

    Gomen, I wrote my first exam today and my head is a little... bleh. XD
     
    The fact is, a lot of people do report, but it's never implied that a report is always accurate in pointing out a rule violation; more often than not a post is reported for reasons that we can't do anything about.

    Slow responses to reports are unintentional, but omnipresence is flatly impossible for us. We try incredibly hard to strike a balance between PC and our own lives.
