essentially he shirks from his direct duties
I'm not going to discuss his "reply periods" (although they're being reduced for now), but the quoted claim is questionable. As you wrote in your private message, you suspected someone of fraud - what actions from moderator did you expect in such a case? Mods don't moderate scams and misrepresentation. These are not their "direct duties".
19. Possible (or real) scams and Trust ratings are not moderated (to prevent moderation abuse).
Q: Why haven't you banned who is an obvious scammer?
A: Possible (or real, not for me to decide) scams are not moderated to prevent moderator abuse. If we start picking out which ones we call "scammers" and ban, we would make a lot of decisions based on biased opinions.
Q: Do you moderate/delete (possible) FUD, accusations and untrue information?
A: No. We don't have enough time to check every single piece of information and verify the validity of the sources. Also, just like scams - too much room for bias and abuse.
Of course, he could use his "DT-privilege", but I doubt that it could be entitled as "duty".
A decent example of double standards
As far as I can tell, besides the
main thread there were more threads related to this "Worlcore scam" topic earlier (including the thread of
Marina Uni):
https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=2251768.0https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=3380354.0https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=3864176.0https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=4451337.0I guess that from his point of view another one would be unnecessary.
Also all the Worldcore-related stuff anyway can be placed in the main topic (which is not self-moderated by the by - that means, that your posts can't be removed there by anyone but moderator and yourself). And it's a common practice in Russian section to close the surplus topics - in order to collect the information in one place and prevent shitposting/spamming, I suppose. Moreover there is a rule about dublicates (which
was analyzed previously):
12. No duplicate posting in multiple boards (except for re-posting it in the local language boards if it's translated).
And a spam rule:
1. No zero or low value, pointless or uninteresting posts or threads.
Such posts like "SELL SELL SELL", "I agree", "+1", "Support", "Watching", "Interesting", "LOL", "SCAM", "LEGIT", "FAKE", other one word posts, posts consisting mostly of swearing, quote pyramids,useless introduction threads, threads about a topic already recently discussed in several other threads.
russian moderators without any questions blocked the account Marina Uni
I'm afraid they couldn't do this since local mods
can ban only Newbies. You'll need to apply to Global Mods if you want to ban a Full Member.
As for the questions - where did you read that you should be asked when you get banned?..
