I am having trouble finding a source, however it appears that the following rule is missing: 33. Posts about the moderation of a thread, or about the moderation of the forum in any thread outside of Meta is automatically off topic I had reported a couple of posts in a thread outside of Meta that were discussing the moderation of the forum, such posts were subsequently deleted and this thread was created. If possible, please add to the OP.

If possible, please add to the OP. I think you might be right. It should be known that such things should be discussed in meta. On the other hand... if someone doesn't know about that rule or this thread then he would feel treated very bad... or made to shut up. So it only might put on to sentiments about the moderation. Though it doesn't matter when it get moderated anyway. A rule might be helpful, will probable not lead to more reports.

I don't see why this should be a rule. It is indeed missing, but it would be a better fit it was added to the Guidelines for threads. On the other hand... if someone doesn't know about that rule or this thread then he would feel treated very bad... or made to shut up. So it only might put on to sentiments about the moderation.
Not really. All that usually happens is that someone reports the thread and it gets moved.

Not really. All that usually happens is that someone reports the thread and it gets moved. Though that can't be done when someone is asking inside an otherwise legit thread. The post would be reported and deleted probably. Though maybe the moderator added a notice about why it was moved.

Something to add, a pending update on an outdated rule: https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=134779.0We really haven't followed that rule in some time, requiring a user to be reputable or be vouched before being able to sell accounts isn't a very ideal method. Based on implied meaning from some comments Theymos has made in the past, the issue isn't with account/invite sellers themselves, its with the possibility that the accounts will be hacked. We don't care about other company's TOS, but hacking is pretty much globally illegal, and under the no illegal goods rule, hacked accounts are not allowed to be sold here. A few warning signs that accounts are hacked, are the notorious "Don't change the account details" or Log out when you are done, etc lines. Of course, still waiting on Theymos' clarification on that one, but it was an issue that came up recently and the staff discussed it and gathered info leading us to the conclusion above.

PS: If you're going to go through my entire thread and delete all my "bumps" that I did not delete, then do it for all the other threads too. I don't care if they're deleted or not, but it pisses me off that these other threads have hundreds of "bumps", while I rarely bump my thread yet it was given more attention than these other people who obviously spam there thread with unneeded replies and bumps. Obviously someone targeted my thread out of competiton, but if the rules are going to be applied it needs to be for everyone.

if you reported them I'm sure they'll get deleted. not being an asshole or anything but you being mad for mere bumps are a show of weakness. again, not trying to be an asshole.

No, I just get mad when rules are applied to me, while they are not for others. You're probably right that if I went through and reported all of them that they'd be deleted. Someone must have a lot of time on there hands, I don't have the time to do that. Also moderators do a great job here and it seems to be more of a available resources problem than the mods as it takes a lot of time to go through and delete the bumps if they are not reported. Not a very big deal, but nonetheless maybe an alteration of the rules to better represent forum activity.

That's just you being irrational. Moderators are supposed to and currently are (AFAIK) fairly treating everyone (and equally). You have to understand that there are a lot of factors involved, for example: 1) Complexity of report (e.g. referral link vs. cases of constant trolling which require evaluation). 2) Rank of reported user (reported newbies get handled very quickly). 3) Activity of moderator in certain period. 4) Other. We are certainly trying our best. Also moderators do a great job here and it seems to be more of a available resources problem..
The new forum should have much better moderating tools.

Not a very big deal, but nonetheless maybe an alteration of the rules to better represent forum activity. Report them. If you see a thread with several unremoved bumps just report one and note that there are other unremoved bumps as well. Complaining here literally takes more time, than writing a single report per thread you encounter anyway. @SaltySpitoon Something to add, a pending update on an outdated rule: https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=134779.0We really haven't followed that rule in some time, requiring a user to be reputable or be vouched before being able to sell accounts isn't a very ideal method.

Well that's why we should consider removing the rule.

Well that's why we should consider removing the rule. now we have something quite good to kill the illegal account sales of services, while the DS is flooded with torrent sales. it might be just me but exp showed "benefit of doubt" doesnt work when it comes to money... just imho

Please don't read the rule about having multiple accounts in isolation. ![Smiley](https://bitcointalk.org/Smileys/default/smiley.gif) If you spread signature spam across these accounts, you will still get banned. You should also read up about ban evasion in this forum.

I don't moderate it.
When a message is deleted, it should say which mod actioned it. For a recent deletion, I know that it isn't Blitz, who is the mod for that forum, so it could be any of the supermods or admins. Therefore, to whom does one direct the issue?

It really shouldn't, else this will open up potential problems (e.g. groups attacking specific moderator for the deletion of their posts). For a recent deletion, I know that it isn't Blitz, who is the mod for that forum, so it could be any of the supermods or admins. Therefore, to whom does one direct the issue?
When we are talking about posts made by people above the rank newbie, the contact order is: board moderators -> global moderators.

There should be accountability. If someone gets the banhammer on Poloniex, for example, you know which mod gave it. Do groups attack mods because of it? No, and they would know better than to do so without warrant, unless they all wish to get banned.

I disagree. You would just increase the difficulty of moderating here. If someone gets the banhammer on Poloniex, for example, you know which mod gave it.
Only certain staff of a certain rank can ban, so it is irrelevant. Do groups attack mods because of it? No, and they would know better than to do so without warrant, unless they all wish to get banned.
Mods sometimes get attacked here for practically no reason (including myself).
Anyhow, I do not feel that this is the appropriate place to discuss this. If you want to discuss it with other members, I suggest opening a new thread in meta.
