Where did I say I didn't like the idea of the Wiki, Ling Ling?

I do like the concept of the Embassy Info as originally formulated (and still available) on VJ.

Speaking of the Wiki - all that information you have listed in your signature - how much of that work is genuinely YOURS? Isn't it James' work and LotOPatiences's work, just translated over by you?

Reinvent the wheel much?

[Ling Ling 22]

I don't think there's a single moderator here who doesn't care. I just think there needs to be some stronger leadership.

Well said Mox, and I'll add to that...there needs to be a rotation of leadership...or else it becomes dictatorship.

I understand that Capt. Ewok is the owner of this site (and I'm fine with the owner doing whatever he wants, including kicking me off this site),

but I'd highly suggest a rotation of moderator duties.

There are some people here that believe SOME of the moderators may have been around long enough to

have made alliances with some of the older contributors, and such alliances could unconsciously cloud their judgement.

Plus, everyone needs a vacation once in a while.

There are "links" to certain aspects of the process that were created by James. Obviously it may appear to you that some of the process is similar to James and Loto's work.

Here's a hint....all 3 of the guides deal with the same process....there's going to be similarity.

Attack people much?

Wow.

That's paranoid.

Only when they call themselves "Dr. Immigration".

I think having a moderator for each and every forum is a bit overkill. For example, the RU forum is VERY low traffic, and it would be a waste of time to dedicate a single person. But it seems like the moderator team should have a pretty good idea of where the trouble spots are. I see it as sort of a law enforcement problem. You're not going to have the same manpower dedicated to patrolling low density areas with low crime as you are to high density areas with higher crime.

And to address the concerns of a poster fleeing a local mod to go somewhere else...well the TOS is the TOS. Shouldn't matter where they flee to. If VJ has taught me anything it's that when you fight the law, the law wins.

Now now, Mox.

If you are going to have parity, then have it.

I'm just curious Rebeccajo....how many threads do you kill per month? How many threads do you enter without contributing anything except your disagreement? How many threads do you enter into, and have your buddies come to back you up?

How many threads do you enter where YOU violate the TOS, but YOU don't suffer?

How many people have you accused of attacking you because you don't agree with them?

How many well intentioned threads per month are closed because you came in and created a mess?

I'm just curous...do you keep count?

You gonna make a judgment call on where the rowdies are and where they aren't?
