Interesting Read for the Moderators

[Marilyn. 340]

Not sure what good the "report" button is on here. I reported the same person twice for violations of the TOS and nothing happened. Nice

As I stated earlier on in this very thread, a PM to the moderators often works quicker, simply because we are on VJ more often than the admin, Captain Ewok.

To clarify, again: Mods do not receive any notification from the report button. Please PM us a link of the offending post and we will look into it.

Thanks.

If you don't receive notification, why even have it?

the mods don't have access to all the functions of the site, only Captain ewok does... and he is a busy little Ewok and doesn't always have time to get to everything....

if you have a complaint, you should PM, Lal or Mags...

Just to be clear though, Jamie - there are TWO report buttons. The one that will alert the mods is in the drop down menu when you click once over the poster's name, right below the praise button.

but Mags said they don't receive notification of those reports.... and I think those both are one in the same....

I honestly think that with Yodrak's departure (is that permanent?), we need another moderator or two, just so that LaL and Mags can share their load of responsibility, unless they are cool with how things stand right now.

That would be a good idea.

I nominate Cassie and/or Marilyn! Two very fair and even tempered veterans of VJ!

Mags,

I think what we are seeing here is that many, many members are speaking out that they do not like that process implementation and they are requesting a change to it. There have been many good suggestions in this thread, we would like to see a proposed NEW process and have that implemented. Thus doing away with the current overlapping and sometimes confusing triggering mechansims - particualy the informal ones such as PMing. How do we get this process design change started and implemented? Do you and the other mods meet with Captain on a regular basis where this can be brought to the board admin atttention as a request from the member community?

Regards,

Samby

...so after 126 posts, if you have a problem, pm a mod!

So, in the spirit of the majority of the posters on this topic here, I'll start.

To the contrary, what we are seeing here is the board membership majority finally being heard and supported and feeling willing to add their public agreement to the serious issues that exist on this board.

I don't know what boards you go on, but every one I have been on has mods that you can report abuse of TOS. OK, so I guess it is a free for all. Do what you want, say what you want.

***I see he either removed his comment or someone else decided to do so.

The report button came before the mods.

Incorrect. You have to PM us to report a member. The drop down box is a separate entity.

Why not? I'm a member here and it's how I feel. It's not disrespectful to anyone.

Yet it's deemed 'not helpful'

Because it doesn't jive with 'the majority of posters on this thread'? Are you only interested in people who agree?

My fave cookie took the words outta my mouth! Both times here!

I nominate me for new mod. I will ban everyone and let God sort it out.

Fair enough, I remove my request.
