I've complaints on the mod VincC454 in Hobbies, Collectibles & Model Kits

Recently a member morgenthau raised a question bout hotlinking other people's model works & post in the Gundam Thread (All posts was deleted by the mod now)
The moderator VincC454 handle this issue with irresponsible action as a mod
he should calm the situation but he just posts some emotional replies which is very bias & make the situation worse

On the other hand, he went to another thread & post the threatening replies as the attachment below
which further cause other members to flame the innocent member who just pointed out hotlinking issue
http://forum.lowyat.net/topic/686457/+160 (Please read from #161 & few pages onwards)


Low Yat Forum is one of the biggest & professional forum in Malaysia
so ain't the elected moderator should handle their sub forum in a professional way too?

like this also can ah... its hobbies thread lor... for fun... be so damn serious for what???

I believe the issue has been resolved.

There is no point in further blowing this matter out of proportion.

1st of all, I raised this issue because of his attitude as a mod
moderator shouldn't be too bias on certain issue
you're an experienced mod & I know you know the basic principal of being a mod
it's to keep the forum organized & in peace
not just flame people behind when someone said something he dislikes

We have spoken about it, and I apologise on his behalf if he has offended you in anyway.

What's past is past, let's move on.

I think you don't really understand what mods are.

We are normal forum members given powers to act against individuals or threads which are in breach of r&r. We are allowed to discuss, argue and do everything you do in the same way you do. We can be as biased as we want on any subject aslong as we do not carry that bias over into our jobs as moderators.

If normal people can flame others over a difference in opinion, so can we. In most cases we don't, that's a choice we make.

Edit: Since the thread is closed.

I think that rule on no trolling/flaming is directed towards trolls who intentionally post flame bait.

Sorry, I'm a mod myself for almost 4 years in other forum

I know a mod is just a normal member in a forum
mod can express their opinions freely like a normal member & I agree with that
but your responsibility is higher than normal members because you're the "parent" of the forum too
normal members always take mod as their example
they'll always think that "Mod can do like that, so do I"
when sh*ts happened, they'll say something like "Mod did / said that too, why can't I?" & put all the blames on mod

Anyway, I thought the General Board Rules have stated "No flaming"?
