| 292014 | 2004-11-19 05:46:00 | I haven't really read all this thread, but honestly, why do you moderators even have to ask the question. Take the bull by the horn, be your own men and lock/edit threads you think need it. Us forum members have no say in it anyway Personally, I am totally against locking/editing threads no matter how bad ~ but obviously as Moderators, you will often see the need to do so. |

| 292021 | 2004-11-21 20:34:00 | "Moderator Definition At a forum, someone entrusted by the administrator to help discussions stay productive and within the guidelines. Information Good moderators are essential for good forums; great moderators are essential for great forums... and the absence of moderators typically leads to ghost towns inhabited only by spam bots. Basic moderator duties include deleting or modifying inappropriate posts, educating newcomers about forum guidelines, and possibly deleting accounts of repeat offenders. Additionally, moderators may be experts in their field who can help minimize unanswered questions." I warmly welcome moderation. In fact I would actively encourage it! However, such moderation should be completely unbiased and non-personal. It should also be consistant. Moderators should not be "above the law", in fact they should be seent to be "whiter than white" for their own credibility. Surely a moderator should not be seen to break the rules, only to chatise someone else for doing the same. I aslo believe that a moderator should have the power to edit or delete posts that break the rules. However, I don't believe that any fair tinking person would agree that a moderator should change somebodys post to the point that the meaning changes fundamentally, or it appears to say the opposite of the original post. This weekend I was involved in two Topics that were locked and I was chatised. In the first one I did not break any rules of this forum, but I accept the moderators right to lock the Topic. The second one I again accept the moderators right to lock the Topic. However I regard the changes to my text by Chilling Silence to be way over the top. It appears that he/she objected to my use of the word gonads, which is slang for testicles - similar to the word bollix or bollox which is regularly used in this forum. In fact Chilling Silence used the swear word "prick" last week, but that seems to be OK. But, as moderator of this forum, it is his/her perogative to edit the post to remove the offencive word. But I do not belive it is right to change "my gonads are bigger than yours" to "my ego is bigger than yours". I have asked the mods, on several occaisions, to tell me what rules I have broken. But I have yet to get an answer, perhaps because I adhere to the rules. In which case there must be another motive at play? These are simply my opinions and should be taken as just that, my opinions. |
