Originally posted by Wicked Neo Ok, here is your chance to get off your chests once and for all, to have your say, your rant, etc etc on the TA mods ! ! Do you think the mods of TA are doing a good job, are we too harsh in some of our decisions, if we're going wrong, where do you think we're making mistakes etc What do you like about the TA mods, where are we going right ? be constructive in your replies, don't insult us, thats not the idea, the mods of TA are here to make TA better for you, and we all want to do a good job, so give us your feedback so that we can continue working for you and you can help make TA a better place for us all.

Neo I feel that you are one of the most fair mods on all of TA, and this thread proves it. Eveyone gives you shit and jokes about your age, but we all appreciate the work you do.

Anyways I've never had any major problems with the mods except for a few instances. Recently when I was on vacation one of the UK mods decided it would be funny to edit my sig to say, "User is too stupid and ugly for TA." This statement is of course laughable, but is slander nonetheless. I have also seen occasions in the US forums where posts were made and people have "said" things that they actually didn't say (i.e. someone with access to the person's account posted something fraudulent on behalf of another member). I'm not saying it was a mod's doing in those instances, but who else has the authority to edit peoples' posts?

These are relatively minor things of course, but they still constitute an abuse of power and are also a testament to the immaturity of the individuals involved. They also perpetuate the kind of petty bullshit that has infected TA as of late, which would be in all our best interests to avoid.

Usually when I see a big nationalistic flame thread, or a thread flaming others for their taste in music I don't even get involved anymore unless I can add something constructive instead of petty insults.

You know that was a UK mod, yeh?


Or are you just randomly accusing the uk mods when you dont actually know?

About sigs, only mods have the ability to edit sigs, unless it is your own signature then of course you can edit it. Anyway, we now have a measure in place to keep people from editing sigs for no reason. If your sig is edited, most of the time, it is offensive or too big and then you have to change it. If you feel your sig has been edited unjustly, pm swamper about it.

Now about erin's little comment. We try our best to keep threads bashing other countries out of the forums. Cept when people bash their own countries for valid reasons, like Canada and the idiotic prime minister we have.

It was not a ukta mod, I'm sure of that. Just move on with life

Andy just checked for me, and I'm happy to find out that it wasn't any TA mod who edited it. I felt it was a reasonable assumption at the time, but now we know that it was some hacking troll.

It's a good job you didn't accuse the ukta's prematurely, eh?

Oh wait...

As for the joining fee, hell no! I for one would have to stop visiting, stupid idea imo.

Originally posted by arctic Generally, i'd say a good job, a hell of a lot better than some other forums i've seen. My only gripe is with the way mods are distributed so to speak. As Nik said, in the amatuar producers forum, there are one or two mods who produce/post, but i'd be shocked if the other three had posted once (in the amatuar forum) in the last 6 months. I think that is a problem, as an active poster in that specific forum would be a far batter choice than someone who has no intrest whatsoever in ta's amatuar producers/never reads the forum...

I take it u mean this question arctic ?

The way the mods are distributed, well, for a start, the regional forums are modded by members from that region (well duh lol)

The amatatur forum to use your example is modded by a couple of members that do produce / dj etc and also by a few mods that have been on this board since almost the start of TA.
Those more senior mods do tend to take a step back in those forums letting those mods with more knowledge on the given subject run that forum, but every now and then they go on vacation or are at school or involved in something to do with the 'real' world and cant always be there which is where if things get out of hand then one of the senior mods can deal with any problems.

this goes for all of those unique forums.

Plus they are also split by time region, this is a global board so the UK mods for example would be asleep or out for the night whilst for example an AU mod would be around on the boards.

it is arranged so that for 99% of the time all of the main forums / unique forums have someone around to mod any of those said forums if they need it.
