Forum:Chat Moderators

I have seen several cases where Chatmods have banned users that haven't violated any rule in particular for the following reasons: For the third bullet, although the user being banned basically brought it on themselves, a chatmod still should be mature enough to reject the request unless the user starts actually spamming about it, etc. There are also other problems including: These are just a few problems I would like to mention/report. I have no proof of anything, so I will not mention anything either. As you can see from my chat experience, I do have a real account. Anon
 * Testing what happens when one is kickbanned
 * For fun
 * Because a user asked to be banned (both seriously and in a joking manner)
 * Mods spreading rumors on PM
 * Unexperienced users becoming mod by the hands of a single crat with no discussion or vote
 * Mods threatening to ban users in order to make them do something
 * Mods taking advantage they cannot ban each other to spam themselves
 * Mods allowing trusted users to spam while banning new users immediately
 * Mods coming online and banning new users with similar names as past spammers with completely no proof before they do anything just by seeing them (jumping to conclusions)
 * etc.


 * Hi, are you referring to Community Central's chat, or are you trying to report problems with chats on another wiki? For most cases, if you're dissatisfied with chat moderator conduct and you have already taken steps to resolve the conflict, my advice is to report it to staff.
