Timboli: In all probability, you ask questions they can't or don't want to answer or are not allowed to.
So in the end in all likelihood, they just see you as a troublemaker or someone trying to make waves.
It might seem like I am defending them, but I'm not really.
I've certainly come across bad mods in my time, folk who clearly should not be doing the job they do.
At least at GOG, I've never had a serious issue with Mods, who are mostly absent anyway, but the few dealings I've had with them have either been fruitful or we have come to an understanding, even if we don't totally agree on something.
I certainly don't have complaints about any GOG mod. And after all, they are really only at the bottom of the totem pole, and have very little power in most cases, and are no doubt governed by strict rules.
But hell, by far the GOG Forum is the most flexible forum I have ever come across, allowing quite robust conversations to occur most of the time ... perhaps due to minimal oversight. A lot of folk get away with a lot here.
Personally I wish GOG staff were a bit more aggressive when it comes to some folks, who are clearly being bad. One governing rule I am sure, is to not deter others from spending money at GOG, even though that can be seen in a contradictory light sometimes (i.e. GOG do or don't do things, that then get folk up in arms ... but then that would be upper management, who would be a law unto themselves and not Mods).
P.S. Certain types of folks gravitate towards being a mod, much like what you get with politicians. That said, there are plenty of good mods around, and having been a forum admin myself, I certainly sympathize with what they put up with sometimes. I think we are lucky here at GOG. At a place like Steam I suspect you get a different kind of person as a mod there.
well sadly they are not able to explain why their censoring people hey hurt.
and keep hurting.
full on echo chamber.
