Moderating is done as objectively as possible, but being a human means emotions will sometimes come into play. Do I think this is alright? Not really, but it happens and improper judgements are made. I'm not disagreeing that maybe the wrong punishments were given and Ves can decide if a reversal should be made, but honestly, the amount of aggression and the attitude of certain members can greatly influence a moderators decision.

Vesti's hands are tied here - two Guild members were banned and you want her to make the judgement on it? How is that fair to her? If she unbans them she'll be called biased, and we both know the amount of work she's put into this new forum. She doesn't deserve this.

If you think the punishment is unfair, then you could make the judgement on it. Because if aggressiveness is a license to be biased, then I don't see how all those comments in the Discord about BTS didn't tilt the balance with the mods in favor of also banning those members doing the dragging.

To my knowledge also, no warning was given to the people in this thread. One of the members banned didn't even post in the Discord chat. Sharing screenshots from the allkpop Discord to allkpop forum shouldn't pose an issue, they're both public spaces populated by basically the same users. And i hardly doubt it warrants a permaban, with no warning and no explanation.

Why wouldn't they be banned? they came in guns blazing and took screen shots to doxx and call out other members which is strictly forbidden.

In addition, their attitude was "I'm leaving the site anyway, so let me shit stir the pot and create drama first".

And how many discord users were bashing bts? Everyone received a warning and were informed to stop. The people who were banned wouldn't drop the subject and continued to press forward.

Thank you for the explanation, though Discord is still a public space and i don't see how it qualifies as doxxing.

But what I'm getting is people were mad for what was being said about BTS; the ones who got angry about it were banned, but the ones who were toxic (we love this word, lol) in the first place and did all the dragging got a slap on the wrist.

And this is what we mean about unfair moderating. If dragging artists isn't allowed, why are those users getting away with it?

I'm all for objectivity. If you see ARMYs dragging other artists, you are in your rights to give them a warning etc. But punishment should be equal for everyone, and in this particular situation, it looks like 2 members of the guild took exception to the things being said, and got punished for addressing it. And those who were dragging BTS got away with a laugh and two less ARMYs to worry about calling them on their ugliness.

You all have a crazy amount of double standards, entitlement and playing victim going on in here, and no matter what I say, nothing will change your minds.

No point in reasoning with you all here. We are moderating fairly and equally, but you will always refuse to see that. I don't know what else to say to you, but stop calling out other users and follow the overall rules of the forums and you guys can have your safe space

How about we leave it at that?

can we please know why the two guild members were banned?

And what measures were taken against the discord users bashing BTS in there?

Quote from johnny

guild forums are not a place to shit talk members of the site. you guys are doing the exact same behavior you are accusing others of doing and holding yourselves to a double standard. if this continues, then yes there will be no safe space, period.

i would love to know why @s_song_calling_f and lawyer did to get a ban, please.

And I subscribe to NaomiBlue message, potential ban be damned. What exactly are we doing here on allkpop now? Bashing is allowed but not really, only selectively. Bashing users the same. A whole discord channel promoted only for ARMY users and BTS to be dragged left and right. And the moment they defend themselves and BTS, they're called toxic.

If Allkpop doesn't need ARMYs anymore, just tell us plainly. We're not ones to come where we're unwelcomed. And either Allkpop continues to be the bashing fest it was pre-revamp, or you moderate fairly and equally, both in the forum AND in the discord.

the ARMY community here on Allkpop was willing to give it a chance after the revamp, because we hoped it would become a more neutral place, where all could enjoy KPop equally. Take a good, objective look at the threads that were made pre-revamp, and see how many were non-ARMYs dragging BTS, shading ARMYs etc. We had hopes for something better. If this ain't it, then it would help to know it upfront.

it would be easier to list the ones I don't like. That's what a golden discography does to people

you're entitled to your wrong opinions, i guess.

he's so hot, fml. Does he even know how sexy he is?

i'm a Scorpio. No, i don't believe in astrology.

I would say i fit 50/50 into the pattern of a Scorpio. some ring true, in other aspects i'm very far removed from it.

the animation is top-notch and they're beyond cute, i just can't

look at the amount of ARMYs piling up in this thread to state their opinion...

Wait....

nvm

TinyTan outsold and outperformed

Quote from Alex_Murphy

I understand. But it seems most men are okay with the stereotypes they're supposed to abide to. What else can I tell you?

and yet a lot of men are not ok with it, and it shows. It shows in their disdain for those weaker than them, it shows in the violence demonstrated towards those who can't retaliate. It shows in their disrespect of those who are different and in their struggle with showing emotion beyond violence.

Self-assuredness and confidence in oneself does not ask to be proven over and over again.

I wish I have the same energy as those users wasting my time in fanwars

you seem to still have time to spend it on passive-aggresive-ness - kinda the point of the OP.

but of course

HE'S SO CUTE I CAN'T HANDLE IT

Quote from tempus

As I said, where's the outrage? Outrage only happens when it's not your faves?

you're barking up the wrong tree, hun. Was i one of the outraged ones?

I'm jaded. I use a Huawei and shop at Zara still.
