How Do You Complain to Moderators?

I recently had a high profile thread closed for (IMO) insufficient justification; additionally, I had...shall we say, issues...with some of the behavior reflected by multiple moderators in the thread. I sent a communication about a week ago via the "Contact Us" link found at the bottom of any given forum page regarding this and have yet to receive any kind of response whatsoever from DVDTalk's powers that be, not even a simple "Oh, piss off!" Is this NOT the correct method for furthering my greivances? Is there an alternate preferred method? I don't seek to have my greivances aired out in this thread, and no one need bring up the particulars of the thread in question, or whether they find credence in me seeking rectification of perceived faults on the parts of some of DVDTalk's management--I simply would appreciate confirmation as to whether or not the method I used to try to register a complaint about this issue was the correct one.

You could start a post about it in Otter.

Particularly if your main goal is public ridicule by your peers.

sending them death threats by email might get their attention

I believe there's a 24-hour hotline.

I find it best to start by insulting them personally, as a group and as individuals. Make frequent references to their sexual orientations and perversions, and then insinuate that their parents were never married. Try to ferret out as many personal phone numbers as you can, and remember -- most of the mods are extremely busy and may have very little personal time on their own, but virtually all of them can be reached at their home number at 3 AM.

Good luck!

I used to believe that, too, until I read a post without proper spoiler tags.

I've heard Geoff likes receiving phone calls at 3AM.

Thread in feedback. The "contact us" will get you absolutely nowhere.

The moderators and administrators have been discussing your issue. Due to people's schedules it's been hard getting a consensus but I believe we'll have a resolution soon.

And yes, your original method of contacting us was the correct one.

Thank you, X...I was concerned as to whether my e-mail ever arrived, or if it did but was dismissed out of hand. I appreciate your advisement.

Hmm! A resolution, soon we will have.

Mmm. Lost an email, Filmmaker has. How embarrassing. How embarrassing.
