All moderators are charged with making content decisions in enforcing the Terms of Service. The SuperModerators are as well.

Either way.

How is this (by this I mean the "childish" comment) keeping in line with your own standards you just set - no "personal attacks"? Practice what you preach.
What you said about taking things to a Supermod absolutely undermines and goes against everything other mods have said - are you privy to knowledge that they're not? Are Supermods now for something other than taking care of spammers and other problems? If so, it seems the rest of the mods didn't get that note. And telling people to contact John is a joke and a half, as you well know, as he doesn't respond to anyone.

My "childish" comment was pointed at nobody specifically. If you, or other members care to assume who the children are, that's up to you. You can do the same for those you consider to be giving thoughtful responses.
If SuperMods are only for cleaning up SPAM, why bother?

No reason to take such a snotty tone. If you don't want namecalling going on, don't do it yourself. Hiding behind the "well it wasn't pointed at anyone in particular" is ridiculous.
Are Supermods now disciplining other mods? Because if we have a problem with a moderating decision, why on earth should we go to a Supermod? Really, what can they do? Are they now overriding mods of particular forums when it comes to moderating decisions in those forums?

Sounds like GC needs a FAQ on the job descrptions of Mods and SuperMods.

Better yet, maybe there should be tougher TOS to protect the moderators:
Moderators and administrators may edit, move, and delete posts to make them more accessible or to bring them into compliance with our TOS. If an edit changes the context or meaning of the post in any significant way, moderators will usually include a note that the post has been edited in the post itself. All moderation, however, is performed on a "best efforts" basis - each poster is fully responsible for his/her own posts, and each visitor is responsible for what he/she reads. Offensive posts should be reported to the moderators, and every effort will be made to remove them as soon as possible. Out of respect for both moderators and policies, discussion of moderator actions and forum policies is welcomed via private message or e-mail; these issues are off-topic for the forums.

I actually got this from another board which I visit. I think GC should adopt it.

Can't certain words be blocked? If it's profanity we're limiting, that can be done on the admin side of things.
Again, consistency. If I can say fuck in the Lambda Alpha Upsilon forum, I should be able to say it in chit chat.

Exactly. John made the decision NOT to block certain words.
Yes. It is possible to refrain from dropping f-bombs in every post. But, it's just not as entertaining for me. And, since GC is entertainment for me and since John has not blocked the word, I see no reason not to do it when I please.
