Re: um ok
how are you going to get sponsors and make the site expand and better if no one's happy with it?

I don't report the same time every day or every day of the week, and I will see some of the others ONLINE at the time I make the report knowing they got a PM and still haev to report it again THE NEXT DAY.
Soooo, I'm using it when I can, and honestly, it's only as good as the people who are ignoring them.

Re: um ok
For the record, we don't get a PM when a post is reported. I am on here a lot during the day on my Blackberry, and when I am using it it's very hard to moderate anything.

Re: um ok
Well ive been a member of DragVa ever since it was created and even before that when it was Drag757. I will always stick by my words when I say that Dragva will never be what Drag757 was. Drag757 had people who bitched and whined but everyone pretty much enjoyed the site. When Sung had brought up the idea of DragVa, everyone was pretty much against it so to say, but it turned out to be an amazing result as you see. All in all, DragVa has created a lot of friendships and a lot of good times, but when you get so many people together, you can't make them all happy.
As far as the moderators, I know a decent amount of them. Some a lot better than other, and some I have never met, but I will say this: Moderators are turning away from the fun side of things and becoming more and more anal about what is right and what is wrong or what's joking and what's not... big brother?
Not to jump on sides with anyone but I would also like to say that when I found out Blaxican was becoming a moderator, my jaw dropped. Of all people, I was simply amazed. For the mods to say they are cleaning up dragva, I would have never guessed it started with Blaxican.
Now, with that said, Blaxican has impressed me actually doing his "job" and regulating the forums. He has made some decision that benefit the forums and im sure there are some that have been not so beneficial. What everyone keeps in mind is there is still loop holes in the "jurisdiction" of Dragva and what's right and wrong. One mod may think something is right when another say it's wrong. All mods may think something is right and Sung says no... gameover.
Spic and I have had our differences, and im sure he would still love to carry on a bitching contest with me over the internet, but seriously I dont think I have seen him bitch anyone out in a while.... it's kind of depressing. And I have to say that he does make a lot of good point in this thread in which there is a lot of unclear feedback.

SoulD got fed up with the site. He can't moderate how he previously did so he doesn't waste him time coming here.
I agree wth Steveo on the inconsistentcy issue. There needs to be set guidelines and something to follow a bit more when it comes to banning.
