GTASAddict Posted February 21, 2013 Share Posted February 21, 2013 (edited) Would they lose their position of power or are they above the rules? Yikes, misspelling! I meant would their penalties "be" more severe. Edited February 21, 2013 by GTASAddict Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Miro Posted February 21, 2013 Share Posted February 21, 2013 I don't think there are any staff members who do this kind of stuff. After all, they don't become moderators for no reason. Besides, if something like this would happen, they might or might not lose the position of moderator, depending of the gravity of the problem. In any case, if you see anything bad related to some staff member, just report it. Dead (Retired) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Suction Testicle Man Posted February 21, 2013 Share Posted February 21, 2013 They have to have a bath with Waddy. If at first you don't succeed, you fail, and the test will be terminated. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
uNi Posted February 21, 2013 Share Posted February 21, 2013 Staff are subjected to the same rules as everyone, and if sometimes happens the case will handled. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Shoumaker Posted February 22, 2013 Share Posted February 22, 2013 Would they lose their position of power or are they above the rules? No one is above the rules in this forum. Everyone makes mistakes but staff members who constantly break the rules or misuse their powers have been dealt with before in the past and will be dealt with in the future if applicable. Although please remember that the Admins are very picky in choosing staff members because unreliable staff members can cause harm to the forum in several ways which is one reason why it is so hard to become a global moderator or an Admin on this board.

Pyrrhic Posted February 22, 2013 Share Posted February 22, 2013 Now I want to be a staff member! Is there any other way you can get to have a bath with Waddy? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kifflom112 Posted February 22, 2013 Share Posted February 22, 2013 I dunno'. I think they get demodded or something. And I remember reading about some situation with a former mod named Demarest or something. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Pyrrhic Posted February 22, 2013 Share Posted February 22, 2013 Yeah I believe a few staff have been de-modded. Only ones I can think of at the moment are Demarest and Murdoc. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Shoumaker Posted February 22, 2013 Share Posted February 22, 2013 Yes Demarest was banned for abusing his powers as former Global Moderator Cerbera says here if you're after some reference of course. So remember OP, if one of the most beloved members in the history of GTAF can be banned. So can any other staff member so again, No one is above the rules and no one ever will be. @Lzw3 Forty used to be a Global Mod but his rights were also taken away Also, Charming Charlies rights to Global Moderating were taken away from him if you wanted to know. But lets not go into this any deeper as we're starting to derail the topic. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Pyrrhic Posted February 22, 2013 Share Posted February 22, 2013 I thought CharmingCharlie retired as he's in the Retired Staff group, something that de-modded members can't get into. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Shoumaker Posted February 22, 2013 Share Posted February 22, 2013 (edited) No he is not in the retired staff group. Here's his profile. As you can see he is clearly in the members group. But you're right about one thing though, de-modded members cannot go into the retired staff group because anyone in that group can come back and become a Global Mod, Admin again if they feel they have the time. This is one of the main reasons why GTA3Freak-2001 was put into the members group instead of the retired staff group because the Mods and Admins knew that there is no way he's ever coming back. One may ask that it would do him justice by putting him into the retired staff group but what those people don't get is that the Retired Staff accounts are very powerful accounts as well which is one of the main reasons why you cannot search up these members using the forum tools because inactive accounts are always prone to vulnerabilities.

Andreas Posted February 22, 2013 Share Posted February 22, 2013 (edited) Would they lose their position of power or are they above the rules? Nobody is above the rules. The rules are here for a reason, they are here to keep the forum civilized and every single member of this forum is obligated to follow them. If a staff member is constantly breaking the rules then he/she will be demodded or in the worst case even banned. That happens not often here on GTAForums because it's hard to become a forum leader, much harder to become a global moderator or administrator. However if a forum leader or global moderator is breaking the rules then it's the best to tell an admin from it so that the admin can take action against it if it's needed.

I think you may have been a tad surprised when I said all of those things about the forum especially since I'm a 2012 member. Now I found out a lot of things about the forum because I went through a lot of the older topics in the forum ever since I joined because this place is just so mystical I just wanted to find out more and more things about the forum. After I saw uNi and a few other Mod's retired a few months and then back out of retirement that's when I found out then that people in the retired staff can come back any time. I also saw Svip write in one of the older topics that any members from the retired staff can come back if they find more time. I also found out in another topic that retired staff have an unlimited PM storage space which gave me an indication that these are very powerful accounts indeed, Hence why they can't be found using the forum tools since they are inactive and Vulnerable. I figured out why Freakeh (GTA3Freak-2001) was put into the Members group because it would be ludicrous to not take away the powers from his account since we already know he's never coming back. So everyday when I look deeper and deeper into the forum I find out more things about it so there is nothing you need to worry about Andrew.

Shoumaker Posted February 23, 2013 Share Posted February 23, 2013 I knew it was only a matter of time before you came here and said something like that. Actually being a teenager in Bangladesh, I have to be outside most of the time anyways to be honest, I just manage my time very well for what I want do (Leisure time, Social life) to and what I need to do (Studies etc). So it's not anything like that. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
