I am starting this thread beacuse I have been bullied by a particular mod and been kicked from chat without having broken any rules and have experienced a very clear attempt of intimidation from the person through misusing their position as moderator. I refer to the moderator known as westside.
Let me state now very clearly I do not wish this thread to fall into the nasty slagging type thread which in the end serves nu useful purpose. I wish only to state my experience and to see if any members can identify with me and perhasp confirm they have had a similiar experience.
I have never had any problems herw with any moderator and have never had any problems with any one in the rooms. I enjoy my time here. The only mistake it seems I have made is to engage truthfully in the forums and to state certain truths as I perceived them. My forum posts unfortunately involved this mod westside.
When I eventually realised that having a logiacl and sane debate with said mod was not really an available option I stated very clearly I was not going to engage in any communication with him in the future. It would seem that for this I have been singled out in the chat room tonight.
I was in there enjoying certain cams and expressing my enjoyment through smiley icons. The said moderator then started questioning me as to whether I had a problem with his moderating.
As I had hardly even noticed that he was present in the room I merely saw his questions as a means to create conflict with me. I therfore did not answer him and he got more aggresive telling me " I asked you a question" - I was astonished and could not understand why a moderator should act in such a fashion. He then started using the rude and unnecessary "giving me the finger" icon!
I continued to enjoy the cam work and continued to express my enjoyment through smiling. I was then kicked! I had not interacted with this mod and nor had I directed or dis-respected anyone in the room.
I logged back on thinking it was some tech problem only to be immediately kicked again. Again I logged on and fortunately another mod had arrived on the scene, (this I believe saved me from being continually unfairly kicked) I enquired of him as whether I had been kicked and whether he could tell me. The mod westside then declared I had been kicked because I had smiled each time he put up a warning-phew!! I simply thought, yes the lunatic had in truth taken over the asylum! I could not belive what I was reading-I had been kicked for smiling!!
It was an upsetting experience and ruined my night. I have written to admin with details and expect them to review the logs and if it's the case that I inadvertently broke any rules I will immediately acknowledge same.
If howver I have not I expect that admin will take reasonable action in order to protect the integrity of the site. I hope they will at least assure me that I will not be singled out to or bullied by this mod and that it will be safe for me to resume my signature entrance to the room with the use of smileys. I xpect also they will be able to tell me that its ok to use smileys when I am enjoying any particular member on cam.
Perhaps admin will send ol westside on some type of anger management course in order to ensure he will in the future engage in 'best practice' - hopefully they will?
I must state again that I do not wish to have any interaction with this particular mod and I presume that I do not have to answer his aggresive questions if I am not breaking any rules. It is I presume ok for ordinary members to ignore someone who they see as rude and just plain ignorant!
Having said all this I would appeal to any fair-minded members who have had similair experiences to simlpy state they it on this thread and to leave it at that.
I really dont want to see this thread turning into another one of those threads where westside feels the need to answer and debate and cause agreession with everyone who relates a genuine grievance. He ceratinly wont be getting any communication from me.
