A mod banned me few days ago for a reason only God Almighty can comprehend.

What Seun Osewa doesn't realize is that such overbearing moderators are capable of ruining his business.

Why make someone who is incompetent, intolerant, uncreative and one-track minded a moderator? Why use quota system, rather than competence, to appoint moderators?

I can tell you for a fact that Dominique is the only competent moderator I know of - emphasis on "I know of".. I don't know the criteria Seun used to appoint her, but such criteria should be used to appoint all moderators. Too bad that the only thing majority of the mods know how to do well is to issue lengthy bans - they don't even know how to warn; hide threads and comments that are not in line with their bias - imagine, something Seun himself will never do.

They're not different from your wicked average managers, salespeople, etc.. They run your business as they like, abuse your customers, fight co-workers; do whatever they like, after all, it's not their business. So whether it succeeds or not is none of their business. Therefore, they put their ego and selfish interests above the interest of the business they manage.

MODERATION IS BEYOND BANNING MEMBERS

This is the area I commend Dominique. Below are characteristics of good moderators.

1. They are tolerant. They don't easily get butthurt. But majority of the mods here will ban you for the slightest provocation. Something even Kim Jong-un of North Korea would ignore.

2. They're impartial. How many mods here are impartial?

3. They are Responsive.. Have you ever been banned unjustly by the malfunctioning antispam bot before? You called the mods to help you, but they ignored, right? That's one of the major issues here.. So far, only Dominique resolves such an issue.

4. They respect members.. Good moderators respect members. But here, majority of them see themselves as mini-gods.

5. They have a good sense of humor.. I haven't seen any mod with this feature.

6. They are social..

7. They understand the rules.. This one is nearly absent here...Most of the mods don't know what they're doing. No clue.

8. They have patience and good understanding of human behavior.. This feature is non-existent here...

9. They're empathetic and thick-skinned. They don't get upset over trivial things..

10. They're humble and trustworthy..

AND SO MANY MORE... BUT I'LL STOP HERE...

Stop complaining about your deleted thread.

Your post means nothing to the moderators

It's quite commendable to give compliments to someone doing a great job.
Well done Dominique.
I think it's also about maturity and patience to understand that the real reason this platform exists.
Anytime I remember the romance mod banned me until 2033, I just wonder the state of mind of such individual who deletes a message and still bans someone for 12 years!
That's preposterous and I am happy for level headed mods like Dominique.
To destroy is easy, the hardwork is in building. The mod for romance should learn this or gets replaced.

You are very right.

A lot of the moderators are intolerant of opposing viewpoints & are quick to issue bans without justification.

Or they ignore comments that provocated you into retorting but ban you while leaving the provocator to continue to gloat at his/her 'victory' in getting the biased moderator to issue a ban.

The most annoying is that when a person with opposing views is banned, they keep allowing the provocator to taunt the person by quoting the person & even bragging about the influence they have to ban such person...

Finally, this forum needs an 'ethnic/tribal' enforcement arm. The rate at which people resort to tribal slurs on unrelated topics is worrisome.

All this epistle because of banning....

Hahahahahaha

I can also attest to this. she is that good
