I would like to file a complaint about the moderation of this site.

Approximately a single month ago, the user K3fka was promoted to a staff member to moderate the ASM sections as well as multiple other relevant affairs, and as far as I know been doing a fairly decent job at doing so. However, I have discovered a new and intriguing development that
has occurred not too long ago. Apparently the aforementioned user in question now moderates (and as implied, "owns") the following forum:



Now, at first inspection this did not appear idiosyncratic at all, moderating forums is one of the main duties staff members have, so it did not bewilder me to see that K3fka has acquired this forum.

...What DID disturb me, however, was the fact that on closer inspection, the forum itself is, to be blunt, rather poorly moderated. View the forum yourself and you'll find that the forum is filled with spam! A large majority of the threads there are obsolete, closed, spammy, or just all-around... not suitable for a supposed-to-be mature community devoted to Super Mario World™ ROM hacking. And that's not to mention the fact that most of the threads are made by banned users, immediately giving it a highly negative impression.

Now, under normal circumstances, my proposal would be to warn the offending moderator to fix the problem and stop being so careless with his/her moderations; However, the problem has gotten to the point where the clean-up of this horrendous forum would take longer than the remoderation of section pertaining to graphics in a format insertable into Super Mario World™, which is especially atrocious considering K3fka is still a relatively new staff member.

My proposition at this point in time would be to permanently demote K3fka and possibly ban him assuming the "longer than the ExGFX remoderation" statement I made above was but a mere underestimation on my part. I deeply apologize, but he has clearly proven that he is not credible enough to moderate a forum, given how badly he "maintained" the one in question.

If the administrators of the site shall choose to refuse to do either of the above, I will leave this site permanently, and I will badmouth this site and its poor maintaining until you change your minds. I will also direct users who wish to be on an actually decently moderated site to other, much more reliable hacking sites, including DevBoard, Ninshack, MandLBoards, btri, Board 2, Kafuka, Evil Daizo Productions, Wikipedia, and more.

What you choose to do in the aftermath of the creation of this topic is your decision, not mine. But I hope you all will be intelligent and pick the wiser of your options.

Good day.

EDIT: I figured it out, K3fka must of forum banned me for being better then him in every way. It's OK K3fka, if I were you I would do the same thing.
>users moderating staff members

and i thought the staff team was corrupt
That place looks literally like a dump #wario{O_o}
It's easily the best thing I've done
So why the empty numb?
I think it was a hostile takeover, I seem to remember some bot person named Chester running the trash can...though I guess he is busy combing that blue hair of his :P

I demand Chester receive the trash can as rightfully his, as he is the only one true junk moderator.

This just shows the lack of care which has been an issue with the staff team as a whole. It has gotten to the point where we have a forum which is filled with thrash threads, as mentioned by KTBHacking, and we can't even post on it due to a possible oversight from the administration of the forums. This is unacceptable, specially considering for how long this has been an issue.

No, we shouldn't ban K3fka for that. We have over 35 staff members, and none of them has worked on fixing the issue, or even noticed it! I demand bringing back staff applications, but not before we have new administrators who actually care about the community. First one would obviously be KTBHacking, but I don't know anyone else who would do a good job.

Inb4 people start actually applying for staff here.

But yes. This is appalling. I expect far better service when I come back in like 5 hours after I leave angry in like 5 posts after a staff member posts some witty response or something.

EDIT: LITERALLY NINJA'D BY A STAFF APPLICATION.

In order for your application to be considered, it must follow the specific guidelines clearly stated here.

...Wait a minute.

WAIT A MINUTE.

The thread I just linked is located in the trash can! But how come? It's a GOOD thread, yet it's in K3fka's terrible forum mixed in with all the other garbage in there.

...So not only is the forum cluttered with trash, but the trash is also hiding actually decent threads that shouldn't be there in the first place. I bet K3fka was the one who moved it there.

Ok SMWC, I was a little mad before but now I am outraged. I demand that K3fka be demoted and banned immediately for his abuse of power and mediocre moderation skills.

Thank you.

Don't think about pink elephants.
Definitely don't think about Pink Air Balloons either.
Not to mention the ruins of the derpy institute are still there, probably tainted by K3fka's smelliness. I demand a hostile takeover.

Oh the irony. Wow Eternity... you must receive a much more severe punishment than K3fka.

Who watches the watchers?
I'll have you know that I am very content with my little shithole in its current state. I actually hacked the site (with p4 and Alcaro's help) and disabled everyone's ability to post there, except mine. If anyone takes issue with my forum again, I will direct you to the banhammer.

I suggest you guys zip it #wario{:X}

You don't scare me. I hacked you in there, and I can hack you out.
<blm> zsnes users are the flatearthers of emulation
Oh dear, what an abomination! You guys should hire me so I can fix this madness. I'll start by moving all the spam threads to the tra--oh wait.
How about moving them to the smas subforum instead? Nobody will notice, right? :)
This attempt at trying to be like Ersanio's previous threads like this is chuckle-worthy at best.
