Inconsistency in site-wide moderation - A Forum Thread for GameBanana.

If you haven't noticed, there is an unhealthy imbalance between the strictness of rules in some games and the looseness of others. If you look around, you'll notice that there are mods on this site for just about every anime game in existence, and half of those mods are NSFW in some way. You'll also notice only a few other games outside the anime genre get NSFW mods . Smash, TF2, maybe Mario Kart 8 or whatever. Either way, they are fewer and further between. The reason I bring this up is to raise awareness, because the cause is not what you might think . It's not for lack of interest for those games, it's because those games are moderated in a different way . Their rules are more strict, so modders are less encouraged to actually make NSFW mods for those games. "Why the imbalance?" you ask. Well, because most games have different people moderating them, so the difference in moderation styles is inevitable. However, there seems to be a theme between most of them, which as that many moderators like to think the more 'adult-oriented' games are more suited for 'adult-oriented' mods , and vice versa, but I'm here to combat that argument by reminding everyone here of the original purpose of playing with mods: Fun . Yeah, some mods are improvements, some mods are slight adjustments, but the original purpose of using mods was to have fun. While I agree there should be moderation in all things, I do not see this type of gatekeeping the moderators have put in place as intuitive. I see it as putting a limit on how much fun we're allowed to have. It also seems completely unfair to those who are proficient in modding the games that have been otherwise gatekept in this way. With that said, I think it would be much more fair to take one of two courses of action. 1. Remove stick from buttocks. Ease off the gatekeeping and let the less-adult-oriented games receive more adult-oriented mods. Don't make it seem 'taboo' or 'cringe' or whatever. 2. Shove stick further up buttocks. Make it so all games across the site are just as heavily gatekept as the currently-gatekept games are. Both of these courses of action result in the same thing: balance and consistency in moderation. In either direction, they would need more communication with one another so as to provide moderation that remains consistent across the entire site. This way, there's more fairness between genres, and NSFW modders wouldn't feel so limited as to which games they should aim for. Do you agree ? Do you disagree ? I'd like to see what everyone here thinks.
