Over the past couple of days, there have been attacks towards me as a moderator and I am here to defend myself and comment on these accusations I have received. I am not going to sit here and defend Johneh or JustMe for anything they are accused of because that is something I feel like they should attend to. I feel like my character and my position as a moderator has been attacked by certain individuals over the past little bit and I would like to comment on some of the main issues that have been brought up
1) My inactivity as a moderator - I will be the first to admit that I am not as active as a moderator as I would like to be. But, when I am accused of doing absolutely nothing by fellow staff members on Tengaged, I feel like it is an attack towards me as a mod. I am fairly active on Tengaged now, and JustMe can confirm that I am very quick at replying to any questions/concerns that she has. We talk one on one on Skype often in relation to moderation issues, and I am involved in many decisions regarding bans and unbans. As for @Tengaged_Moderation and my activity on that account, it is not as great as I would like it to be. I have been trying to improve this over the past little while, and I have made great improvements to my activity on the moderation account. But, I am a full time student, and I also work a full time job, so sometimes I don't have free time to come on and resolve moderation issues.
2) My "biased" decisions - I have also received many accusations of being biased in relation to decisions as a moderator. I can admit that in every decision that staff makes, we usually attempt to do this together. But, everybody has small slip ups here and there and nobody is perfect. I think JustMe can agree to this, and we do our best to fix any sort of mistakes we have made in the past. I do not give special treatment to my friends, and I do not look for reasons to ban people. I ban people based off reports, and make the best decision that I see fit to each different scenario. My personal Tengaged time and professional Tengaged time are completely separate and I try to keep them that way as best as I can. If anybody has any questions or would like something to be address, feel free to message me and I'm sure I can resolve any sort of issue you have.
These two things are major accusations I have seen directed towards me in the past few days. I am one that tries to keep mod issues secret, and since some other staff members don't have the same intentions as I do, I feel the need to defend myself and make it a point to let the rest of Tengaged know. I believe that JustMe is a wonderful moderator, and an even better person. She and I work very well together, and I am glad that being moderators has brought us closer together. Though I have always been one to defend Johneh in situations where it is required, he has made it clear on how he feels in relation to me as a moderator. I have no comment on his accusations, and I have no comment on what I think about him as our Games Co-Ordinator, because I am a professional and respectful person and will not bring private mod issues to the blogs page, or to the general Tengaged public.
If you feel the need to make a hate blog about me, send me hate messages in mails or on Skype, please keep in mind that they do not bother me. I laugh them off, block the person and move on with my life. I have tried my best to keep everything fair for others, and I think most people can agree that I am pretty friendly when I am talking to others. I just ask for the same in return, or I will not treat you with that respect.
I just wanted to get all of this off of my chest. Thanks.
Tigger there is a difference between opinions and straight up attacking people in vlogs like a 5 year old. Which I will name absolutely NO names for the sake of avoiding being trash attacked.
The thing is because every ban is a conscious choice and not controlled by an algorithm, you will always be accused of bias. I don't know if there is bias or if you receive fake reports which manage to convince you both. Who knows. My point is whenever someone is banned, their friends would rather claim bias than believe that their friend does bannable things.
As for you not being very active on that account, that makes sense. I could imagine spending lots of time in those shoes would ruin Tengaged for you. Treating like a tool rather than a person.
Neither of these issues bother me unless it's something extreme. Like someone getting permed due to a falsified report and they weren't given a chance to defend themselves.
I honestly think there should at least be 3 mods. That would increase activity on the account and having another user to review cases would remove some bias. But I know that's not in your power, BrandonPinzu.
These accusations happen to every moderator we've ever had and it sucks everytime.
You guys are biased as fuck and you know it. You can get banned for posting a BB15 supercut video exposing racism because it has racist language? Are you fucking kidding me? No you just want to protect your racist faves from the show and prevent anyone from seeing those videos.
I know damn well if one of your friends posted that video you wouldn't do SHIT.
Also what happened to warnings? Y'all are like trigger happy police officers quick to shoot an unarmed black man cause they assume he has a weapon. Instead of WARNING people what they're doing is "bannable" y'all just ban people left and right like you're on some sort of power trip.
Chill the fuck out. You mod a dumb website for free. The rules on this site are dumb anyways, people act like this is disney.com or some shit. Can't even post a fucking video exposing the bullying/racism of BB15 anymore just because you can do that. It's pathetic. Half the rules are pathetic. Half of y'all are pathetic. Quit with your childish games and own up to your shit or log the fuck off.
p.s. im not talking about specifically YOU but whichever mod pulled that stunt i'm callin your ass OUT. I am NOT afraid of none of y'all scurd bitches. If you wanna bump lets go.
I agree with DCSooner
but more importantly there is a vocal minority who tries to tear you guys down
But those of us who keep our mouths shut are the ones who really appreciate all your work
Even if we don't say it all the time :)
you are great :) ignore the haters :P ican see why the mods usually dont want people to know who they are cause that just adds more unneeded drama. but you guys do a great job :) no need to explain yourself
