Scoboblio Posted February 14, 2008 Share Posted February 14, 2008 Thanks for being patronising. or I'm actually hoping that, after we get settled, we'll be able to be even more strict. , or So it doesn't happen whenever new mods are given their powers?

RedM Posted February 14, 2008 Share Posted February 14, 2008 So it doesn't happen whenever new mods are given their powers? Maybe it does with some people. For me personally, I've edited a bunch of swear words, moved some threads to more appropriate sections and generally tried to see the forum as a mod sees it rather than as an ordinary member. Believe me, it's actually pretty hard to switch. I feel I've been very restrained (in public;)) but I've still got my fair share of hissyfit-age directed at me. For the time being though, I'm learning the ropes. "Bring on the good" With due credit to WSB2. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It's a hard balance to strike and can't be expected to happen straight away. That was my point, not to patronise. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Havard Posted February 14, 2008 Share Posted February 14, 2008 Not like H to stoop that low Mike I was not the one who brought up the subject..!! Although I said plenty afterwards that was a bit close to the bone, no pun intended! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Blackie Posted February 14, 2008 Share Posted February 14, 2008 IMo The mods are the coppers of the forum, Even if sometimes we disagree with the choices they make they normally know best and have a good reason for it. Its not up to any of us to question it.We are proberbly making the mods jobs hard with the questions/bitching so they are going to get less tolerent.

Homer Posted February 14, 2008 Share Posted February 14, 2008 true Blackie, but who Police's the Police:taped: It seems that you have appointed yourself to that role Seriously Tom, give the mods a break. I haven't read the threads yet but it's sometimes very tricky to know how to react to certain posts, complaints about the thread and complaints about the action taken. Sometimes we make the right decision, sometimes not, but we're always learning the best way to handle these situations. For the new mods it's especially difficult so just cut them a little slack please. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CJ Posted February 14, 2008 Author Share Posted February 14, 2008 I'm still unsure as to what the big issue is. Am I right in thinking 2 threads got deleted (one of which was requested by a member)? If so, what's the big fuss about? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Or perhaps who cares if we lose any members. I for one don't think we should lose members because a thread is not about a Supra and others post 100's of off topic stuff that is left. I'm sorry mate but it is not a case of leave off the new MOD's, If I am wrong I apologise and accept my punishment. I will not raise this in the open. I have made mt thoughts clear, but if a MOD decides to say some thing to me, I have the right to defend my self and explain my posting or has Free Speech been out lawed? Just a question;) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Just a question;) I personally think you're overeacting to a pretty minor moderating decision (one of around 40 others done today, 38 of which no one reacted too). Just accept it and leave it be If you're not happy with a decision, then as a club official, perhaps it's best to use the moderation forum or private messages to discuss rather than post your disatisfaction publically. and on that note, the public discussion is closed here.
