It won't. Mods can never be wrong.

"it even says it my post that it's legal"

that's doesn't matter

i can say anything is legal and that will never make it true
---

Can you also pirate anime on the website?

Or does it point you to any illegal places?

They could have at least checked it out. It's just links to things like Netflix, Crunchyroll, and Funimation which they would have seen if didn't decide to blindly moderate it because I said a key phrase.

No. It's just links to 100% legal sites.

Odd if true.

Keep us updated. I kinda wanna know how this turns out

what was the website

They don't pay attention all the time. I've gotten modded for something similar, but with manga. It actually didn't even link to any manga; the site just had a summary of a series.

Also, this:

PMed, because the mods will probably blindly mod me again if it's not overturned yet.

Community should be more involved in mod disputes.

I've never known for a topic to be made on a dispute to actually have an effect on the outcome. I just made the topic because I found it funny.

I'll be fighting it to the death regardless though.

y'mean watch it on Youtube?

Some of them actually may very well be Youtube links. I do know that some studios do eventually upload some of their series to Youtube, so it's very possible. I don't generally use it because I tend to watch anime though other methods.

helIy posted...

Wow. That is the best moderation I've ever seen. I wouldn't even be annoyed at that.

Eh mods are going to mod. Doesn't matter if it's wrong or right.

Guys! Guys! It was overturned!



It's OK, mister moderator, I misread stuff too.

The topic it was in was depurged too.
---

I wonder if this topic helped or if it just goes to show.
---

Congrats!

congrats!

oo, you can just type in the service and it'll give you a list of what's on that? Nice! Found out Gunslinger Girl is on Netflix, I should watch that sometime since I've always wanted to watch it.

Huh. I guess that works. But I think it's more for typing in an anime you want to watch and then finding out which services have it.

Meh, I don't have any that I want to watch so it's better to just see everything that's on one service. Especially since navigating those services can be kinda terrible.

Perhaps they ought to replace human moderators with bots and just let the forum run itself?

The bots would probably be more efficient.

Goddamn, the bar must be set really low to become a mod.

Ready comprehension isn't their strong point. Just in this topic two moderation were posted in which the mods inability to read correctly got people moderated.

Kinda sad. If I was a mod, I'd take more pride in my work and make sure I read things thoroughly

This is the second time in a week I've seen a moderation overturned like this: mod error in reading that they're deciding on.

Gfaqs leadership doesn't care anymore.

When you become a mod, you're unable to do that and you also lose your pride.

just wish they would pick up the pace and stop the flashbacks to stuff we have already seen. shorter intro and episode recap would be great too.

I think this one is fine. The mod immediately admitted he read it wrong and overturned it. keyblader's is much worse, they only overturned it at the very end and with a backhanded "but you could see where there'd be confusion"

because.moe is super cool. Thanks TC!

It was pretty bad in retrospect. The first time was a misunderstanding. The next two mods didn't pay attention at all. I had to take it all the way to the top just to get someone to listen.

Lol, yeah I got fucked by autocorrect. And my typo/autocorrect mistake has nothing to do with reading comprehension.

My point still stands though

We probably wouldn't ever be able to link stuff except for very well known sites like Youtube in that case though. :s

Those two moderations, I think, were the exception. I'm sure you've accidentally read some stuff wrong and posted about it before too. Basically the same thing.

You mean One Piece? Yeah, I can't get into that one. I don't really want to watch an 800 episode show. I have enough trouble just getting through a 12 episode show if it's not an outstanding one.

Agreed. If it made it to the admins or something, I might have been upset, (if I wasn't laughing so hard because mods wouldn't have been able to spend literally 5 seconds to see if a site wasn't legit) but that never happened.

It's rare enough that they admit they were wrong in the first place anyways. Actually, it's kind of rare for people on the internet in general to admit they're wrong...

they tried that.

it didn't work out so well.

it was called metamod, and I think Allen actually wants to bring it back

Bring back MetaMod. For those who haven't been around the site for 10+ years, MetaMod was an old system that allowed regular users to view posts that were deleted by the moderation staff (but not who posted them or who deleted them) and then choose whether or not they agreed with the action taken. This was a good way to gauge whether or not we were being too harsh/lenient in the eyes of the community or if a particular moderator was out of line with the rest of the team. This would definitely need some tweaking from the prior implementation to ensure that the data we receive is useful.

They forgot to mod me for posting Crunchyroll.

Yeah, but that's why he said he'd make sure he read everything thoroughly. It's fine to make mistakes, but a mod really should read a message more than once before actually modding it. Thus the taking pride in your work.
