Moderation Issues.

[TheDoode]

Some of the moderation is a little ... intense, sometimes. I think you clearly need to distinguish between potentially provocative posts, and posts that are voicing a concern or an opinion, in a non provocative way. And at the same time, realise that everyone has different ideas of humour. As long there's nothing that's outright offensive, I don't see the need to delete posts or remove content, because that could change the intent of the post, and frequently does.

I don't always agree with the ethics of this board, but I like to think that I've learned enough to let some of the things I don't agree with slide, in favour of the privilege of posting here.

If we're going to have rules of moderation like this (i.e., who can say what to whom), then make it fair and even and across the board, and don't single out certain members when other members are doing the same (if not more explicitly stating it) in the same thread.

If it wasn't for the sometimes oppressive vibe from the above issues, this could be a really cool site. And on the whole it IS a really cool site. I mean, Meat Loaf posts here for one thing, and there are a lot of good people with good discussions going on. I'm not going to dwell on it, but it would be cool to know that this is being taken into consideration.

Thanks for reading,

Doode. :cool:

If a member of the mod team requests that a thread follows a certain direction, and subsequent posts go against that request then we as the team have the right to edit or delete as appropriate.

Sometimes we are able to go back and "clean" a thread of previous posts but in this instance it would have made the thread unreadable.

Everything is discussed as a team, usually before, but if not after moderation has happened. All reported posts are discussed as are threads in the feedback section, please be assured that everything is taken into consideration.

[TheDoode]

That's cool; sometimes all it takes is a little explanation I guess. It's a different perspective from the user looking in - we don't have all the facts I guess. That's cool.

You'll get the hang of it very soon Doode. :)

If you need any information on how the mods do things send me a PM. I've had a lot of experience in dealing with the mods. :twisted: Do you know that they have their own private room and all. Where they get tea and biscuits.

[RSG]

Buscuits you say :twisted:

[Evil One]

I'd advise against taking any advice from Steve about how to deal with anything! :lmao:

[Steve6]

Of couse take advice from me. I've been around the mill a good bit. I know all the mods very well, and I know how to handle them too. I have the tricks to keep myself safe, and I can do the same for someone else.

Wrong, time to take 5 and think about what you're posting and that's advice
