The Worst Discord Mods...

[@NoTextToSpeech]

Heyo gamers, obviously please don't harass these individuals. If you want to do something, tell your friends that if they need to report something, report it to Discord trust and safety. At the end of the day, these guys are trying to do something good but it just fails miserably. With respect to ScammerAlert, be prepared for a paragraph cause these people are driving me up the wall. ScammerAlert focuses on the grey area part of Discord. Since Discord won't care if you got scammed trying to buy cheap nitro, ScammerAlert tries to be the solution. From their community of users, they claim to be the most transparent. And from the collection of our police academy of idiots, they are the most competent. However, fundamentally you are relying on the systems and staff in place to ensure your safety on the platform. With trust it takes time to build and seconds to ruin and my hypothetical example of being scammed by a staff member is trying to illustrate that point. Apparently staff have been banned before but who's to say it won't happen again. ScammerAlert is a lot like SteamRep, it's hella useful if you are in that market. But SteamRep had it's own issues despite it trying to fill a similar gap. The Caelen fella was not a part of LOA Safety Center but was a part of SafetyTree. Not entirely important in the context of the video but I should make that clear.

that banning from an amount of servers reminds me of something people made in the past to ban people from some servers on minecraft

[@L_T_S_]

Once upon a time I actually was involved in a project such as this, almost 7 years ago now, so it's not a new idea. I won't go into much detail but it started off as a simple automatic raid detection/prevention bot, the bot was I think in around 8 to 10 thousand servers by that point. The owner had an idea to make this sort of system where people report bad actors to a team who would investigate claims and approve or deny adding to the global banlist. I didn't get involved with that straight away and from my perspective from the beginning it was starting to show a lot of flaws, bias, corruption, or just bad management overall as you would expect from a bunch of dumb teens. I eventually just left since I didn't want to be associated with it anymore, not sure what happened to it. I remember some Discord staff member had talked with the owner before so maybe Discord was aware? However that's just speculation. Overall is there any use for a system like this? Globally, no, plain stupid. Shared bans between sibling servers could work but that's not what they are about. Pointless for me to even write about it but just sharing some memory.

The only thing I've seen like this that makes sense is with dayz server discords- since most of their transgressions are in-game, having a conglomerate of servers that get together and put huge offenders that consistently break multiple servers rules on a list so server owners both old and new can protect their servers, is good.

[@KittenKatja]

0:35 That's how MC Bans worked, except you can't remove bans off your account, even when the server no longer exists, and the people on other servers don't out right ban you, they get warned by the system that someone joined they need to keep an eye on.

[@BiBiren]

They even have corporate-like positions thinking they have a job. I assure you, they do one quick google search on this and this is what they got. They are like Reddit mods who think that they contribute to society.

Similarly saw this kind of power house behavior with the Minecraft Physics Mod creator. In his discord server people ask if him selling the pro version of the mod is against EULA, his response to those people either make no sense or is very toxic.

[@viktigboy1976]

yeah you can say so, but then comes the obvious question we got from the video. Who is qualified to have this power? Is an authoritarian solution really a good idea? You can say like "aaa we need someone who aren't idiots", but realistically, the only thing that will come out of this is just more power tripping and corruption. It's okay if the only thing that happens is alerting the server of a scam and banning the scammer. The negatives happens when they not only get banned from one server, but get banned from a lot of servers that are connected to this type of network. If a 15 year old kid has all this power, it won't be positive for anybody, and mistakes will happen. This concept in of it self is kinda brainless anyway.

[@spectreone]

I think its a good idea if it is on the right hands, and if it is not for small mistakes. Things that are big enough to affect others negativily, could fall under that temporary solution. But, as this is under people that are not profesionals nor under some kind of contract, it would be easy to fall into bad hands even when it was on good hands

[@SamiTheAnxiousBean]

i do like the concept of these servers (As in, a server to get offenders banned on all servers with their bot after you reported them to discord cause let's be honest, they'll prob get it done faster then discord notices your reports and offically bans them) however....where it falls apart is the fact discord users are rule-ing it ....who powertrip SO HARD for no reason whatsoever and ofcourse, are currupt, bias, and are hypocritical as hell assuming you don't actually just contact those servers without contacting discord themselves first

[@CYSYS8993]

Some discord servers claim whatever punishment bestowed onto you depends on the severity of the offense in question. But apparently posts that make enough people uncomfortable (even when I wasn't violating any rules and just innocently being myself like everyone else) is of the worst severity, seeing that I get banned permanently with absolutely no chance of appeal or negotiation over it.

[@SleeplessKyru]

I had a bot that did this and was actually my first verified bot. The idea was not to ban users that break TOS or personal rules for your own server that don't apply to other servers. The idea was to prevent spam bots from joining your server (you know the ones that have the same name/pfp and go around your server advertising "FREE NITRO!!!"). Those bots would be auto detected, tested for human verification, and THEN banned. Only bot spam accounts were banned; human suspects are for you to handle yourself. We had a quick ban appeal too just in case something went wrong. But THIS... this is just going too far...

Pretty sure Discord doesn't care about scammers. Especially for things against ToS like buying servers, you would risk losing your account to report a scammer. Btw ScammerAlert saved me from getting scammed one time because I opened a ticket and reported someone and they decided to change their mind. Being in the server without having a scammer role is kind of like a status thing. Ofc there isn't any feature like this in Discord. There's no scammer badge. They either wouldn't ban them or they'd just ban again and they'd probably make a new account

[@kirakoraawesome]

I think it's a good idea for types of servers that have their own general sets of rules that don't violate tos. For instance, if you and a community of servers for a specific type of game and don't want people who like grief, or do bad behavior only in game then a ban list like this would also be good. Or, if you and a community of servers intended to be a safe space for minority groups (like kids, LGBTQ+, people of color, disabled) and want stricter moderating on hate speech than what discord does, you could also do something like this.

[@SerialElfYT]

The problem always becomes a lack of oversight and accountability, also the flagrant GDPR violations, Due process issues, and issue where this has repeatedly publicly gone horrible wrong in the past

[@Dytch]

I used to be in this community for these type of things. There used to be the only one named VPro. This has been around for years on years and I’m surprised how this has not been brought to light until now. Most of these communities for reporting these members to these discord’s are attempt to get the persons money back. If they’re scammers, they will not get their money back most likely but there is always a chance. If a person wants to get unbanned, then they need to pay the person they scammed. But I do agree as this is showing how power trippy these new “fraudsters” have now a days. Again, thank you for bringing this to light since I used to be apart of the “scammer alert” community and it’s just corruption ❤

For example, if one game didn't allow flying, you could detect players flying. These modules would be tailored specifically for the game they're protecting. Then if an exploiter was detected, it would add them to a Global ban list where any game with modules created by this anti-exploit group would ban the exploiter.

Hi. OLS/Trust & Safety SME here (not at Discord). Love the video. :) If there is one thing that annoys people in this field more than any other, it's vigilantism. At best, it accomplishes nothing greater than a placebo effect. At worst, a great deal of collateral damage that has to be cleaned up, in addition to whatever they're claiming to be going after. I won't even get into how vigilantism interference can straight up ruin sensitive investigations, making the entire effort wasted. If you're reading this and interested in policy enforcement for games/services/etc, definitely look into it as a career option! Lot of places are ramping up their T&S game over the last year, demand is growing. Most places will provide the tools and training to actually make a difference, if that's the goal. Plus, an actual paycheck instead of whatever this side-hustle resale crap is. Of course, if the goal isn't really about helping people and improving the service they're working on, it won't appeal nearly as much. Most companies are surprisingly good at weeding out people only interested in power-mongering. Safety isn't and shouldn't ever be about power. The primary goal of any T&S team is the well-being and safety of their community/users. It's a privilege to help people in that role, a rare opportunity to make a difference in a tangible way, moreso than many will ever know. It can also be hard, thankless, and (depending where exactly you end up) potentially traumatizing. But, if really helping people is an appealing prospect, you'll never be happier in any other role. :D ...well, maybe some other roles. I suppose "Cheeseburger Tester" would be pretty appealing too. Or something like "Lamborghini Owner". Is that a career track? Anyway - thanks for reading this wall of text, if you made it this far!

I remember a friend of mine got his server and himself banned because his server's role structure was inspired by the one LOA uses. 15-year-olds shouldn't run stuff like this.

[@nonamefound1683]

Lol, I joined VSSN, LSC, and SafetyHub to report a chick that tried to scam me (and had overall bad Discord Staff etiquette). The chick was “popular” cuz she was a PM in multiple advertising servers. Bro just took one look at the report and marked it invalid. They arent even objective off the reports, they just make reports valid if it suits them.

[@GamingWeekends1]

Actually, 2 of the owners of NA Advertising got banned for NSFW from June of 2022 which was a while ago

[@DanielRivera-qj7bl]

that was some absolute heat you had playing

[@AuzziPlayzLive]

I was in a server called WASP and they do the same thing. Yet they abused power and banned people who expose them.

[@toooes]

i took a shot every time you said "basically" and now i can't feel my

[@Blackfacenoob]

lol

[@slime_creeper439]

This is why I don't go to discord servers anymore.

[@Divergence]

Had a issue with a power trip mod yesterday in a server. Was following their own rules about not posting comments in a certain channel. Asked a user to move it to the appropriate channel then got a slap on the wrist being called a micromodder. For just a comment. Like wtf, that's not micro modding.

[@sachinraghavan4556]

I've experienced mod abuse about eight times at least.

[@dionsyran2]

if i remember for my bots i was able to get them verified at around 70 servers so the LOA bot must be in around 30-50 servers

[@BadGamerHQ]

OMG I was working at that group 2 months ago and I didn't know all that. O.M.G Thanks fr thanks for the info

[@AhamkaraMommy]

The moment I saw them partnered with a server called "The Safe Space" I immediately knew who these kind of people were lmao. Think about it for a second. A Safe Space, on an online platform, that has public invites.

[@XdGoldenTigerYT]

Aren't mass ban databases breaking Discord TOS? I swear you where not allowed to have a bot ban a user from multiple other servers using a bot and a database that keeps all the banned users in it?

[@biometrix_]

It is not against ToS.

[@NiksGold.]

Why her at 5:29? 😂😂 She's about to take out the whole mod team.

[@GassingOrphans]

Bro I didn’t even notice till you pointed it out💀

[@trkmaq]

Ik a server like that where they report people and when they get banned their partners ban them too

[@starkerrobert]

imagine being a kiddo and being like "i'm gonna be a discord scammer someday ✨"

[@sbytenl]

Back in the day i was threatened to get banned from dozens of servers if I didn’t change my server name because it was apparently copying someone else’s server name…. Bruh

[@hazelnut88]

Ain’t no one can take a joke nowadays

[@hrznn]

5:32 lmaoooo that caught me off guard

[@EvilNeuro]

The only good thing I see with those servers is making people aware of harmful scams, but a lot of of them aren’t great

[@Enkaras]

I was in one of these servers once I typed”Spotify and Apple music offered me a free trial what would you prefer if u were me?”( Btw my name at the time was wumpus and my tag was 0002 bc I sniped it)they told me that I was trying to scam someone even after I explained they still rejected me

[@N1Nover]

I remember I was on one server and I was banned off it for misgendering. I went on in an alt to look at the rules (which was against the rules but there was no other way) and there was no rule against misgendering. I wasn’t even warned either or muted or anything. Just banned just like that for saying a pronoun. I submitted a ban appeal and I was in a channel with them and they were taking more than a week to just look at the rules and see I was banned unfairly. So I ended up leaving. I usually hate making people uncomfortable or annoyed so I knew I didn’t say anything incriminating. Even if I did I shouldn’t have been instantly banned nor banned for “misgendering.” In the end I’m glad I’m out of that server. Too many power tripping mods that just ban anyone they want for no reason

[@vedamaharaj]

There is a lot of real homophobia and transphobia on the Internet, sometimes people get sick of it and overreact cause they think they’re being a big hero defeating homophobia by banning one person

[@Xahnel]

​@@vedamaharaj Overly sensitive people should be sentenced to three years of early 2000s video game lobbies.

[@vedamaharaj]

@@Xahnel overly sensitive people, sure. I don't think people who are upset about homophobia are overly sensitive

[@bigfong9084]

cry harder

[@N1Nover]

@@bigfong9084 ….what

[@superplushtiman7ti075]

Yep… I actually have rules against this, although I refer to it as ‘Admin Abuse’, but it’s still the same thing Admin Power Trips/Abuse of Power It will lead to either a warning, demotion, kick or ban depending on how bad it is

[@jetpackdog3427]

I've dealt with one of these stereotypical mods before, and I only joined the sever because my friend got banned and I wanted to know why.

[@alexanderscout]

Power modding has become so common where if I bring up discord’s modding handbook (official) they ban me right away

[@99response]

This just popped up for me, There were/are a couple of good reasons for these server. But really only for very niche cases, They’ve never worked never will

[@andreybg596]

i got banned for doing nothing and they say that i ''token grab and etc'' 💀

[@XCAT1]

Wait.... you weren't talking about geb and your old admins?

[@thatguyoblivion]

I love the picture of the female cop you used. I wonder how many people actually know what's going on with her.... oh wait, everyone knows LOL

[@bailey125]

Is she the one who got done for being in a sex ring scandal?

[@pvp216]

what

[@Lulleebee]

what

[@eseemedres2840]

I used to be in these servers I owned an ad server with like 10k members they would ban people most of the time without much proper checks and a lot of biases I got banned later on when I left a server I was staff in just realised my server is still part of the “LOA Network”
