Mod Squad
From VestiWiki
Mod Squad is the title of a Mod-only board. Moderators are to prioritize the board for any regular board managements.
The board, all of its contents, and any confidential information were meant to be secret but due to a glitch, several screen captures has been taken by users and posted publicly. Lord_Auric speculates that the screens were taken on 1/13/07.

[edit] Comments
Write your comments about the screens here:
- Playa97: Lol. FuzzDaCat screencapped the Fall Mod Nominations. If you check out her posts in the thread, you'll see that there is the "Edit" link for your own posts.
- truth_andrew: The first time I spammed the Vesti in '06, I got banned for a whole week.
- ssbb561: A.K.A THE DICKPATROL Also I noticed the longest recomened time is one week, and the perma is only for a third porn offense...... so how come we have users getting banned for months as well as being banned for multiple profanity offense. The whole modding of this damn place is fucking bullshit.
- zacharyk88 yeah wtf is with this recommended ban bullshit they banned me for a month for a 3rd profanity thing?????modding is fucking bullshit!
- BattleBrat: Woah, heavy stuff, wonder if any other boards on the 'net have this much of a response?
- Bobo_The_Mofo_Monkey: Haha stupid Mods, f*** them all.
- .Owned.: Leaked lol
- Squishy-Beaver: In the fall nominations thread you see that under Fuzz's posts it says edit. Uh-oh.
- Anonymous: Those AOL pictures were taken had Nuclues boards, an old vesti user board. 2003. The moderater was -sparky-. A user signed into his old account (mistersparkle1) and asked homer to switch his his mod status back to his old account. Then the pictures were posted. Who's sad enough to claim these are his? they were posted on a photobucket with a bunch of other pictures, the account was called something like "IGNrevealed" and it was deleted for inappropriate content :/.
- kashyapakash: Banned for posting pics. I asked if it was ok, no response, so I did. Lol, tyrannical ****ers.
- sting2kx: bitches banned me
- Doodly-Doo: What the **** is this ****?
- XSShadow: I wish they got a screenshot of Napkin's allegedly circumventing users list.
- HIDDEN: DON'T TALK ABOUT MOD SQUAD GUYS!!! Also, check out the cool "Mod Squad" banner at the top of the first screen, haha
- huskiana: **** these mods
- Scammy2010: hot damn, wasn't expecting insight like this. Fix the image order though! **** sucks.
- ???: could yab be behind this?
- pooleyusa: LOL there has to be more screens
- robtheman1: RAWR
- Gorblethorp: ****, I agree with XSShadow. I wonder if my name is in there. EDIT: Also, this is the first real use I've gotten out of the VestiWiki.
- Adam_First: I ask the mod whores about my admin notes and they never give it up.
- Anonymous: A glitch, eh?
- beundertaker: Why couldn't they take better pics!?!?!
- splintersag914: ROR WUT

- I made them links cause scrolling is getting annoying. --Chibs 00:58, 20 November 2008 (CST)
- darth_vato: - epic win
- carterisbeast: - It's funny how the "suggested ban times" screenshot says 1st profanity offense is a warning and edit, when I didn't even get fucking warned I just got banned. Damn power hungry douches.
- NBAman619: - LOL, the first time I was banned, they did not even bother a warning!
- lmdrobvious: - Squishy-Beaver was right, it seems that these pics, well the fall mod nominations one at least, were taken by Fuzz
- Jacket_Quickster: - The only link that's working for me is the last one. I fear I'm retarded. I must look into this further.
- IRMacGuyver: - Some dumb ass needs to learn to drag and drop instead of just marking all the pics as broken.
- roboticmrhelloo My unban request criticizing one of the Modzi rules.
"Don't go second guessing-guessing another mods and unbanning a user before his ban time is up just because you don't agree with the reason. This makes the mod team ineffective and makes users think they can get out of anything if they go to another moderator.
If you don't agree with a ban, talk to a moderator who gave the original ban about your concerns in a Private Message. If that doesn't resolve it and you still think the ban is too harsh and not necessary, contact Teddy and he will evaluate the situation" - Teddy Modzi Pierson
This passage is completely illogical and is the same logic that many dictators used to control their people, led to things like the holocaust, brutal Japanese Imperialism and mass bureaucratic inefficiency. Teddy has claimed that second guessing and independent actions create an ineffective mod team. I would like to question where Teddy has acquired this wisdom because from my experience in the Canadian Army as a rifleman in a combat battalion twice deployed to Kandahar, Afghanistan, he is terribly wrong. In my line of work the independent action was key to completion of the mission and survival. The person who was best in the best position to judge a situation (you) was given the final say. Are you really that unsure of your own sense of justice that you are not able to do what is right when action calls and as each moment passes the injustice becomes greater and greater?
Teddy has also instructed you to talk to the moderator who gave the original ban through a PM. This is like a prison guard not letting a prisoner he knows is innocent be locked up for years as an inefficient, slow court, deliberates, stealing years from the mans life, just so he won't be slapped on the wrist for making a "mistake" and letting him go. Truly selfish. Why did you become an IGN mod? Was it for the free insider? The power? Or was it to do your part in making IGN as enjoyable as possible for every user? It certainly seems like the the former two because any person with good morals would fight to help the people unjustly banned by the Teddy's cruel Modzi Regime.
LOL 'Yab was banned 48 hours titled "FUCKFUCKFUCKFUCK" during the Obama riot.'
