#160231 Unban Ness/Nintendo Fanboy/Geno/Big Bird thread
Posted by AMAC on 17 January 2013 - 08:16 AM in Site News and Feedback
1) Warnings/punishments are an issue between the users involved and the moderating team. There isn't much need for a thread about an individual user's warnings.
2) Unbanning one user because of a thread like this would be unfair on the other users here who have been banned from the chat. I'm not saying Ness won't ever have his ban lifted, but doing so because of this threat would set a bad precedent.
3) I don't want to come across as being arrogant, but I have access to the chat logs and am able to see if users have been repeat offenders, which means that us moderators are in a better position to decide what would be fair punishments when warning users.
4) At the time of this incident, I don't recall any users contacting me to defend Ness. If you think any of the moderating team have been unfair on another user, let us know at the time, rather than several months later.

And make it so that we can choose the colour we want?
Unfortunately, I don't think that would be possible, and if it is, it would take a lot of work to implement. We'll just have blue icons, as it fits with the theme of the site.
#157606 This is just UNACCEPTABLE!

#155271 Time to stop the spam and nonsense
Posted by AMAC on 02 January 2013 - 12:13 PM in Site News and Feedback
The pony spam is what I was referring to. The personal slander can refer to several things: one being what you mentioned, another being the onslaught of slander of several members via a personal chat on the users page, another being possible framing of other accounts, another being PM harassment. And the personal information leak refers to when the user who was involved with the personal slander posted detailed personal information they gathered via social network accounts (that the said user sought out themselves) of several users in chat.
The pony spam was met with VERY swift action and stern warnings... The latter incidents have been giving some users a headache over the lack of action from most mods.
I understand that most of the mods and admins have personal lives... but maybe they should choose a staff less busy.
I'd like to point out that when we warn members, we generally keep the warning/punishment between ourselves and the user(s) involved, so although it may not seem like we have done anything, we will have dealt with it, as long as it has been reported. The leaking of personal information case was dealt with shortly after it was reported, although some of the users here should consider being more careful about what personal information they put online. The link to the personal chat has also been removed from that users profile and we're currently looking at how best to deal with it, although we don't have much control over user's conduct on external sites.

When ponies take quicker priority over personal slander and information leak, maybe it's time to listen to some of these complaints.
In what way are ponies taking priority over anything else?

I appreciate the responses guys. On the issue of reporting however, I have reported things in the past, but there is no visual conformation that the item in question has been reported. It says "sending report" at the top of the page, then fades out. Does this mean the report has gone through?
Yes, it would have gone through. After that, all mods/admins will receive an email/notification about it and we will then take whatever action we feel is appropriate. Only mods will see comments that have been made on a report, so after you've sent it you won't see anything more.
Some of you have been mentioning that older members seem to get special treatment, but I try not to differentiate between newer and older members when dealing with reports. However, with minor offences, I will be more lenient with a user who has been here for a year without causing any trouble, than I would be with a new member who instantly starts causing trouble.

The reason why we call this the "largest Wii U community in the world", is because it's a fact that we are the biggest Wii U forum at the moment and it's impossible to prove that we are the best forum. It doesn't mean that we don't care about quality.
As for warnings, we do give them out fairly regularly and there are quite a lot of users who have been warned at some point. However, I don't tend to give out a warning whenever someone breaks a minor rule, otherwise pretty much everyone here would have had one. For example, with the pony images posted in the atheism thread, I didn't give put any warnings, as I didn't feel that warning every user who spammed updates achieve anything. However, if you guys think we are too lenient at times, I'm happy too start being more harsh on users who break rules.

#145576 Changes to the Forum Layout
Posted by AMAC on 08 December 2012 - 01:41 PM in Site News and Feedback
a new area for new owners of Wii U to ask questions in & ask for advice, maybe some current threads can be moved there or even pinned if they relate to audio or connection issues.
i currently mod & admin a few sites so if you are after anyone else to help out, i can lend a hand ,
I've moved some of the current threads to these sections, although there are quite a lot, so I'm mainly just moving threads that are on the first few pages of the forum. As for pinning threads, I'm happy to have pinned threads for any problems that affect a lot of users.

Wii U Hardware Help
Wii U Games and Software Help
Hopefully, this will help to unclutter the rest of the forum from threads about minor issues with the Wii U. I've moved some threads into this section already, although if you see others, please let the moderating team know so they can be used.
I've also changed the name of the Wii U Games section, to Wii U Games and Software, to make it clear that both can be discussed in that section. I considered adding a separate section, but I didn't feel it would get enough use to make it worthwhile.
