    To be honest, whilst discussing his VPN issues, he showed no sings of aggression nor was argumentative, I disagree.

    Mini-modding (or backseat moderating) is when a forum member acts like a moderator or administrator without having the authority to do so.

    When you try to "help" in situations that directly ask for a moderator, you are minimodding. When you give incorrect advice that a moderator can give correct advice on, you are minimodding.

    Not I have seen many other moderators say things back to a person's opinion. Take some mods for example, if someone tells them something and they disagree, they would automatically state why and everything. And that is what I have done here. That is not arguing, I am trying to prove a point on my comment. Arguing is more talking back to them and saying other things, then trying to prove them wrong less much of the harmful side. I do not see any harm in my comment, therefore it is not arguing with that player, it's just stating what they said might or might not be true.

    People are giving you feedback and you are constantly disagreeing with it. I see you do this in game and on the forums.

    This can also happen in game to, not just the forums.
    "When you give incorrect advice that a moderator can give correct advice on, you are minimodding."
    I have never heard about that before, but I will transition that one. Others usually misconcept information and say it wrong, but saying information wrong is not acting like a mod. Where you stated that a moderator can give correct, that is just showing that the moderator knows that fact more than the player has told another. I will use your idea on this, and won't do this that often. Moderators always make mistakes, and so do players. I do not understand how "giving incorrect advice is mini-modding"

    Quoting that again, if people disagree you always do not have to accept it. They can be totally wrong while you can be right and discuss it to show why you are right. If you want, I can tone done on that.

    I have accepted a lot of feedback, only a few like on this page I have talked to that member about. Disagreeing is a part of being a moderator, since no one can make perfect desicions all the time. It takes time to have an argument to discuss what is happening, how can I fix this, and what will happen if I do fix this. If you are saying I am disagreeing in a different way, I get it, I am trying to tell the player that what they are saying might have more to go with it, and I have other reasons why I disagree.

    this is what i mean by way too mature acting.
    There's a difference in how friendly and boring people see you between:

    "Hey, thanks for your support :) I'll try to work on that"

    or

    "Hello there, thank you for your reply. I appreciate the positive feedback from you, as a player and important observer of my actions that lead to my acceptance or denial as moderator, and will will respectfully work on my qualities to become a better player, moderator, and player in the general future.
    Have a nice day,

    I totally agree. I was having a conversation with Emerald and he is acting way too mature and acting like he was the boss.

    Changing to no support. You overreact over the simplest of things. You expressed a lot of anger during this little conversation we were having and I have no idea why.

    I'll try to tone down the high maturity.
    Not trying to start an argument, but when you started to explain why I was wrong you were wrong since it was my opinion and you shouldn't fight over what I believe in. I understand, thanks for your reply.

    Thanks ;)

    I know moderators only have more specific commands for logblock, but you are correct that players do have /lb help.

    Im being Neutral.

    I don't see you like quote-on-quote "helping" players if they need it on .net and I sometimes see you on the forums (maybe because i don't have so many messages). Though, you do sometimes make a big deal out of something small or dumb. Though I will wish you the best of luck on your application.
