I feel that a moderator has acted unfairly. What can I do?
If you feel that a moderator has taken inappropriate action, there is a set procedure you can take to resolve this issue. Creating a thread about the problem in public is not the proper procedure and will result in the thread being locked, and a warning increase for established members who should know the rules.
•Send a PM to a Safety Personal, and have them take care of the situation. Please answer all questions they ask, as you may be banned for lieing, and false reporting.
•If you are not satisfied with the outcome, message Chase.
In the event that you see a post you think breaks a rule or could be offensive/distasteful, look to the bottom right of the member's post next to 'Link to Post' and click 'Report to Mod.
Be sure to include a valid reason for your report, even if you think the reason is blatant.
The staff will review each report and, if necessary, you will be contacted to discuss the outcome or for additional details.
Please refrain from using the report feature unless you think it is an actual infraction.
Repeated reports without proper justification or any abuse of the system may result in a warning or loss of privileges
