We need transparency in the mods and allowing them to stay behind their collective mask only enables them to continue fucking up the site under the protection of anonymity

If they're actually mods or advising the one mod?
We all have suspicions who admin is. But this is a group of people who aren't Admin. So I can't prove anything, it's suspicion. As a result, I'm not sharing a highly likely guess, Mahogany.
yoshitomi ??? Now you're changing the story girl! You said before that this group was the one making the decisions. Now they're not Admin?? What is the truth
either way, knowing who was in the group would be really helpful toward understanding the situation.
this is straight tea mahogany I also dont know why someone would make a blog said I think I know who the group of admins are but I am not going to say anything or expose them. Like why did yoshitomi made the blog in the first place
also mathboy9jourdanbabyxoxo I honestly wouldn't say I have a negative opinion of yoshitomi outside of this situation - she's one of the less obnoxious and grating people on the site and usually seems pretty level headed. I think including her in the mod talks was probably a good decision but this messy display rubs me the wrong way
Mahogany - I don't understand what you want? She clearly said she didn't know if she's 100% correct. Her posting a rumour is not going to help this already messy situation.
catch_a_falling_star but she already posted a rumor and then doesnt give any information to clarify so that logic doesnt necessarily pan out at all
I dont think yoshitomi was doing this for attention and I think she did it out of good deeds to shed some light on moderation, but it just seems messy imo
but we are all entitled to our own opinions
catch_a_falling_star Hon people who yoshitomi saw were in the group is a little more than a rumor if you ask me... that's literally evidence of others' involvement whether or not they were removed like henna was
Koolness234 I posted it because it all just came together in my head today. There was a group, I was removed from the group when Admin joined, then I saw that AskMe answer.
Like most people, I'm curious to factually know who Admin is. But knowing there's just 1 person means we can call out that account without doing what Tengaged does with identity.
- Doxx them
- Contact their family
- Call their workplace
I won't be responsible for that because someone disagreed with a mod's decision. That type of thing that happens online.
Call out Admin. Don't make it personal. Randomize knows who they are so call them out to him.
yoshitomi I understand bitches on tengaged are crazy and that sort of thing is a risk. But you can't hold yourself accountable for that sort of thing. '
IDK. Almost every other forum etc. that I've seen is able to keep moderation public because if the mods are fair, they probably won't get much backlash
The fact that past moderation on tengaged hasn't been fair doesn't excuse anybody
Catch_a_falling_star Thanks for your honesty.
I probably should have posted nothing but it's something that's on my mind. I could be completely wrong and it's not that group at all. And as long as it's not fact, just a guess, I felt like I could say it without affecting any of them - just me. And I'll live if I'm right, wrong or never find out.
yoshitomi - what you posted isn't wrong as such, but some people wold have just read your blog as you knowing a secret they don'the know. I agree with you not posting any other info, but really your blog was a tease whether you intended it to be that or not.
yoshitomi Mahogany is correct the argument of I do not want to expose anyone identity then begs the question why even blog in the first place . Also every horrific mod we have had, has started with them trying to conceal their identity for the same reasoning listed above, and every time it has cracked and fallen apart. We should know who our moderators are and trust them. If they remained impartial than their identity would not really come under question or be attacked. When it was it would be clear violation of the TOS and remove the user
admin's identity is kinda irrelevant from the way i see it. regardless of whether or not we know who the admin is, we're free to criticize them and talk about decisions they've made. the only difference of knowing their identity is having a SPECIFIC person to attack- which doesn't help anything
there isn't any benefit to knowing who the mod is because everything we need to know about the mod (their position as moderator) is independent of the mod as a specific person.
to illustrate this point a little further- if mods are doing a good job, that's great! we can give them feedback as a mod without knowing their identity. if mods are doing a bad job, though, it's equally as important to criticize their actions and poor decision making. that being said, knowing the identity of the person we're criticizing doesn't change the actual actions they've taken, and that's why it's unnecessary to know their identity in the first place.
the argument that the admin having anonymity allows them to make terrible decisions is ridiculous, too. when admin makes terrible decisions, they receive visible backlash for it on the admin account. obviously, most of the moderation on this site has failed to actually turn the criticism they've received into actual improvement, but that's beside the point- what i'm trying to say here is that we're free to criticize the admin regardless of their anonymity. as well as this, anonymity doesn't have any affect on admin's moderating abilities- it would just exacerbate the problem if people were allowed to directly address the moderator personally (and lets be real, the tg public would probably just attack the mod instead of providing valuable criticism, kinda like how we're doing now)
anyways, i guess my overall point is that there's no REAL benefit to the admin's identity being known- sure it might allow for more transparency from the admin's side, but an admin that's doing a good job is already transparent enough without needing to be #exposed. this particular admin is doing a terrible job, and i completely agree with you all on that- but it's not because they're anonymous.
nothing against her i just don’t get why it’s a sin to have a negative opinion on her
