It's been unprofessional for a very long time.

Granted, as anywhere, moderators each have their own way of doing things. Frankly, as non-moderators, all we can do is speculate, but I am not ignorant of how constant trolls sockpuppet on a day-by-day basis. Some are obvious socks, some not so much.

I watch often some constant users act in a way I wouldn't consider appropriate, and some may get warnings, but it'll take some time before finally getting to a ban I believe shouldn't have taken so long. Or don't even get a ban at all, and just turn a blind eye to the matter. Or not make a more permanent, or at least longer, ban to a user who has repeated the same behavior before and clearly hasn't learned their lesson. Or even give warnings about something, but have no intention whatsoever to actually enforce the warning and just continue to "warn", basically making it an empty warning. But, as I said, every moderator does have their own way of doing things. No two are ever the same.

I personally wish that the moderators took more care in being involved on the wiki. Yeah, they want to argue that they have lives, and I know they do as I do as well, but if they can spend the time to goof around on Discord on a constant basis then they can also spend the time on watching chat as well and not have to rely on other users who actually care enough to sit on the chat and ping them on Discord to do the jobs that they agreed to take on to do, as you, Oz, stated: join chat, ban the misbehaving user after being pinged to do so, and leave. It may be a volunteer job, but that's what makes it more sad.

However, Oz, as a former admin, you should know that a lot of matters between moderators are discussed behind closed doors, so you can't quite say whether or not these current moderators are discussing these matters, nor entirely what has happened between said user and the moderator. And I kind of think it still should be kept that way.

I have Special:Contact Staff regarding this situation, and they, clearly, just don't care what I have to say about it. As a result, I have not wasted my time reporting the matter, but will comment on it whenever it is brought up.
