| Apr 28, 2016 at 11:31 | comment | added | sysfiend | @Reaces I'm also owner and moderator of a community and I have to deal with people every day as every mod has to, but, even tho some decissions might be wrong, being objective should be a must and I really try to be it because, if not, I would end up living in caos. Idiots with responsabilities because I was in a good mood the day I met them and viceversa. | |
| Apr 28, 2016 at 11:22 | comment | added | Reaces | @Alex It's not that black and white. There isn't one side that follows the rules and another that follows their own opinion. Moderators uphold the rules based on their opinion of those rules and their interpretation of those rules at the time that they act. Have you never come into contact with law enforcement? It's like this all over the planet :D | |
| Apr 28, 2016 at 10:43 | comment | added | Sven Mod | @Alex: I wouldn't formulate it so drastic, but in general: Yes. As I mod I try my very best to be as neutral and objective as possible, but since I am only human, this has limits. Also, the site has a multitude of options to keep mods in check if they start to act actively harmful. | |
| Apr 28, 2016 at 10:39 | comment | added | sysfiend | @Sven wow! Always? That's something to be afraid of... So if a mod is having a bad day and missunderstands something or just feels the need to rage, he will take actions following his own opinion at the moment instead of trying to follow the rules? | |
| Apr 28, 2016 at 10:36 | comment | added | Sven Mod | @Alex: No. Moderation is always subjective as well. | |
| Apr 28, 2016 at 10:32 | comment | added | sysfiend | Of course, it's just my opinion, so they are all the upvotes and downvotes, that's why I made the question. To see if they should be moderated, which inheritly means objectivity. | |
| Apr 28, 2016 at 10:20 | comment | added | Sven Mod | @Alex: The "for no reason" part is highly subjective. Just because you wouldn't downvote a question doesn't mean that others are not entitled to have an entirely different view of what forms a useful and acceptable contribution to the site. Your view is in no way better or more right than those of downvoters (and vice versa). | |
| Apr 28, 2016 at 10:02 | comment | added | sysfiend | @Reaces it's not about how many you have, it's about how fair they are but, anyways, of course there are some people that take it serously and think about it before downvoting but on the other hand is the exact opposite, people downvoting for no reason. | |
| Apr 28, 2016 at 9:57 | comment | added | Reaces | @Alex Can you prove that? I personally have 980 upvotes vs 233 downvotes. I think though that that might be because I often come across old, useful and well written posts, and upvote the lot of them. Most of my downvotes on the other hand are on newer posts written by illiterate children in charge of things only adults should handle. | |
| Apr 28, 2016 at 9:43 | comment | added | sysfiend | I'm not saying that downvotes should be moderated by moderators, so it can still be under community control and I don't think that people give upvotes as freely as downvotes. | |
