There were a few times a mod was reported, although almost all of them were someone throwing a fit or getting angry about something that had happened and wasn't actually anything on the moderator's part where they did something wrong.I'd assume moderators and prefects aren't above the rules just as they weren't in V5, though I don't know for sure what's the best route to report one. If someone is really going bad they could probably just erase threads reporting them if they saw them first, but I doubt anyone would do that.
Hm, am I wrong on the terminology here? On another forum I visit each thing is called a thread, I forget if that's the same here or if it's like topic instead.
Kind of, hehe. I understood the humor in your post but wasn't sure if you were joking because the word I was using wasn't the one that's used on this forum.
Eh, I know it was for the admin staff. I was just saying some things that I experienced back then. Doesn't mean I'm right and therefore I'm looking forward to hearing all the answers from the admins themselves since they're going to know a ton more than any of us ever will. Or, I hope they do since they're the owners. Hehe, I kid they most certainly do.From what I remember if you didn't feel safe reporting a mod within the report user section you could always send a PM directly to the admins themselves so that you could keep the problem in private without having to be scared that someone was going to attack you because of your report. (Not saying that anyone did, but that can easily be a common fear. I know that even in real life I get nervous wanting to say something against my teachers/etc because they have power and I don't. Even when I'm in the right and they're not I get scared about speaking up.)Anyway, probably going to be a while to get a response from anyone since unless they're staying up late they should probably be asleep by now if I recall correctly.

Good rules. I assume the rules apply equally not only to members and guests, but also to moderators and prefects.If so, will there be a separate mechanism to report a moderator or prefect that abuses the rules, or will the same "report user" be used for them too?Thanks.Max

Sometimes people can feel helpless when they are being bullied or harassed by a moderator, especially younger members and guests. I would hope that there is a standard mechanism for reporting if, or when, things like that occur. Hope it never happens in V6, but even a little bit of power can corrupt.Max
