  • Should we bring back moderators?

    Simple question. Should we bring back some surveillance to the forums? When I first joined we had mods but they then became no more. With other websites their are " monitoring police" as some would call it.

    True admin has inducted a point system but with all that goes on not only in here in the chat section but with the reviews, travel directory and all other locations of the site and the thousands upon thousands of daily posts let alone all of the members it just seems next to impossible to keep track of everything.

    I tend to state "say what you want but if you're going to talk smack about myself or anyone else back it up with cold hard facts, something CONCRETE"

    Not something along the lines of " He / she is ugly. I'd slap them in the face." or " He / she is poor. I wouldn't give them the time of day."

    That's NOT an argument or even a retort. Yeah sure, name calling is only part of human nature and can be taken in stride TO A POINT but to go on and on and on and just adding fuel to the fire whatever the problem is makes whoever is involved look downright ignorant and stupid.

    Now don't think that I haven't thought along the lines of "if we restrict what we say and do than we lose our freedoms" among other points. Believe me, dealing with objectivity is a struggle.

    This is just a suggestion.

    There is no "maybe" option on this poll. This time around I'd rather have something cut and dry if that's possible with this subject.

    Yes, that maybe a good suggestion.

    FYI I have voted yes (with prejudice), because there was no maybe.

    Admin2008 has been quite thoughtful/careful about handing out warnings and bans for wayward posters, but maybe he could use some help. It is a difficult and at times thankless job I'm sure.

      Voted yes, but also a maybe.

      Admin does an adequate job of policing the forum but he does seem to be a tad outnumbered. I've seen a new element lately which in my mind has lowered the tone of debate. The lobbing of insults between Barbie and anyone who takes her posts seriously are becoming annoying, but I have the option of not reading them. Her irreverence is sometimes engaging but usually forced and even pitiful, but her recent disclosure of a client's name and the sordid details of their interaction was uncalled for and potentially actionable.
      Keep up the good work admin, but don't be slow to come down on those who break the unwritten rules of acceptable forum behavior.

          Admin has a life too, and can't keep up with all the bullshit - the man's gotta sleep sometime! Given all the rancour and vitriol that oozes from this site, I don't think one person can handle all the disputes on their own.

          So, I voted yes - thing is, I can't imagine someone actually wanting the job. . . who would want to pore over all these ridiculous posts?

                  freedom

                  ok i'll jump in.
                  i have certainly had my time here.
                  i have thrown out some really dumb shit in the past but i also thnk some good stuff too.

                  i am always a fan of freedom and i am not sure if anyone is capable of moderation without predjudice. its jsut my thought but i dont like the idea of censorship. but if everyone thinks that we need mods to help admin do the work load then i guess it just may be better for the community. i'd like to know the process before i could agree to mods so i have had to vote no at this time.

                  cheers all, keep well.
                  according to some, not trangendered

                              Lisa, Lisa, you have forgotten so much.

                              No, good old Toban never tried to screw you. [I almost did once but fortunately I got over that urge before it happened! ]

                              If you will honestly, stop and think about it Lisa, you will remember that in your early years on this Forum it was me, Toban, who tried to help you. So these days, you repay that help I offered you with a big fat Fuck You Toban.

                              When the former Admin (Victoria) banned you Lisa, who was it but me, Toban, who tried to work with you, to help you so you would not get banned again. I tried so many times in countless PM?s, to explain to you how best to post, and urged you to clean up your potty mouth, but you could not learn then. Well, admittedly you did change for a bit back then, but each time you cleaned up your act, you?d soon revert to making those crappy comments again, often hurtful comments that you think are so smart.

                              Quite naturally, when that would happen again, Admin would ban you again, and then again. You could not, or would not, learn. You still haven?t learned! It looks as if you're on the road to another ban, this time by the new Admin it seems.

                              P.S. There were many more Mods than the two+ that you mention.
