Im seriously considering quitting Gaia, today totally pushed me over the edge.

This mod warned me, i've never been warned.
She said i was 'flaming' because i called someone a moron.
I've been called a slut and a mother ******** to jsut name a couple, but that was allowed, they didn't delete THOSE posts, so i doubt they did anything to that user.

They said with another offense, there will be a temporary ban on my account, pfft.

*Have you seen a mod with too much power?

* Ever considered quitting Gaia?

Not personally. I was peeved one time that my thread got moved because it was better suited in another place (which it did). My thread was among many that also skirted the rules, I was so "that's so unfair!". But I got over it. :3

I'd suggest writing back to the moderator stating that you don't think the action warranted an official warning - especially if your account has been in good standing. Usually you get a few nudges of "that's not good" before it ups to an official warning.

I left Gaia for a bit back in 2005? For about eight months. I was so emo then that I couldn't take the GD. Anyways, no emo now and I think I'm a lifer.

I got in trouble once. I saw in a thread of someone whining because nobody would buy them stuff or give them gold. The keep deleting the post that said things she did not like. I commented I said "LOL, you delete the bad ones" I got a warning from a mod that said my post was deleted, and that the person had the right to delete any post she wanted and if I posted again it would be harassment and I would be permanently banned.
confused

but I did not consider leaving Gaia, just that stupid thread.

I've never run into trouble with any of the mods. I think the problem tho is that there's such an open interpretation to what's what. I think this will only get worse when they start approving mod applications.

There's going to be a better help section, which is in the works at the moment. I think a lot of the lines are fuzzy, or not defined at all. I had one of my posts deleted because I simply posted "reported" under a obvious troll post. I didn't realize that that in itself was also trolling. 0_o; Here I thought I was helping. I looked through the Rules & Guidelines as well as the TOS and eventually had to PM another moderator to know why.

They tend to advise you not to post in troll/spam threads, but to just click the report button instead.

I agree. Don't jump ship, just take refuge in Guilds. It's where all the cool people are you know. 3nodding
