Moderator: "Go change your TAMPON!"
Need I continue?
Moderator: "Your panties are in a bunch..."
You asked for examples. Well here ya go. asechrest and I have been respectful, and posted content and discussed a moderator problem without resorting to insults. All the personal denigration and insults are directed from the Moderator(s).
"Or, we can all be fucking adults and grow up..."
We are grown up. I think everyone on this board is over 18. We don't need or want moderation of posts which are not bots or porn. The only one's whining about panties wadded, and being juvenile are some of the moderators.
Attacking the individual, and not discussing the issue at hand, because the moderator is being defensive. Easier to attack the person, than discuss the problem.
hmmmmmm
I've said several times, I don't have a problem with the moderation. And I don't have a problem with who the moderators are. In fact, I (used to?) like and respect all of the moderators. But it seems "power" has gone to your heads.
But I do have a problem with the attitude and entitlement feelings of the moderators. We weren't asked if we wanted our unmoderated board to become moderated. It was just done to us. And when we voice our surprise and opinions, the moderators get defensive and hostile rather than try to discuss the situation.
You moderators have the same attitude as the POA moderators. You might not be as arbitrary in your post deletions, but you have the "This is the way it is and we are in charge" attitude.
That attitude is EXACTLY why some of us peon non-moderators have problems with moderators.
Again with the moderator attitude.
I don't really care if we have moderators. But it really really pisses me off when you guys think your are better than us and can shove this down our throat with no discussion.
That attitude is what has killed other boards and will kill this one. Not the moderation mind you, but the attitude.
THIS!
I mentioned this in a different post a few minutes ago. Party of my angst is the way the whole moderation thing was sprung on us with no discussion, no notice and no parameters.
Damn. I'm getting really tired of having to agree with Asechrest.
I’m not organized or bright enough to have an agenda.
It's pretty simple, folks.
This site arose out of disgust for the shutting down of our other "home" -- the UNmoderated Spin Zone on PoA -- and the heavy-handed, one-sided, bullshit moderation of the remainder of the site. I've been "here" since the beginning, and "there" for years prior. So have others here. Do take a look at some of the first threads on this site. Oh look, here's one -
Emphasis mine.
Many of you constantly denigrate the moderators and moderation of the other site. And rightly so, I might add. So imagine our surprise, when three here are suddenly titled. No discussion, no announcement, no vote, no advanced indication of what would be moderated, or how, and by what metrics. It took another user saying "what the hell?" to even find out what happened.
It doesn't really matter if you "promise" to only moderate the spam and the porn. The appearance of it ain't good, and past promises are no guarantee of future performance, as PoA is our guide. There are some ways you could, at the very least, mitigate the appearance of it all, but I don't detect even a modicum of interest in doing so.
So that's where we're at.
Sadly, it's also working. Support for Kavanaugh has slipped a lot since he was announced. Not that the polls matter much, but it's another stain that the conservatives surely didn't need going into the mid-terms, which is what this is all about anyway. If it costs the Rep a seat in the Senate, all the lies and conniving will have had the desired effect.
