Write one nice thing about a Moderator

[Krikit 1,164]

If there were no rude and classless people, there would be no moderators to suck up to.

And if there were no rude and classless people, there would be no need for moderators.

Au contraire, if people just grew thicker skin, moderators would be out of a job.

Really. Well, since the moderators are not being compensated for their efforts, your point is moot.

Sorry. I don't mean to be combative. I guess I'm just a little upset that some people can't give credit where credit is due. Didn't mean to be rude. That's not in my nature. Think it's time to go to bed.

I liked them both, as regular people, well before they became moderators.

I still like them, as regular people, despite the fact that they are moderators. I don't much care for the moderation, but it is what it is.

I just don't feel that credit is due. Moderators have power over other users to limit or remove

their power of expression, and the only reason people "volunteer" to be moderators is because

they want that power. They are the police, prosecutors, judges, juries and executioners.

They have power over our words, but we have none over theirs.

I'm sorry, but I have ZERO respect for their so-called "work". None.

For the record, Mags didn't volunteer..... she accepted when asked.

I also agree with the others who have posted about the TOS being way too strict. I'm the sort of person who calls a moron a moron. Hence, my lack of posting. It's easier for me to just stay away than it is to be suspended by Mags every few days.

I think Mags and Lal do a good job, based on the TOS. It's the TOS I have a problem with, not the moderators.

Like I said, I have a fundamental problem with the very concept of moderation.

It's nothing personal -- I really don't care who the moderators are.

I agree.... I detest moderation.

Back in the day, I was a moderator on a pretty large pagan site (the one where I met Mags). My job there, initially, was to weed out the fluffy morons by making them implode. I never moved one post. I think I closed a couple - because I was told to. I couldn't really warn anyone, since I was flaming people right and left. The board was so much better back then.... no obvious morons really, and the fluffies who showed up new each day made for some really entertaining flame threads.

If a person can't deal with being told they're a moron, they shouldn't own a computer.

I also agree that when the TOS is scrictly interpretated, it's too restrictive, however, I haven't really seen any of the moderators take it that far. They do serve a purpose and that is to keep this forum on track of what it is here for. There has to be a certain level of civility if there's any chance of having a meaningful discussion about anything here. I think the moderators do a pretty good job of moderating those discussions without inhibiting free expression and thought. If they aren't getting any complaints over a heated discussion, they should let it ride out....which I think they try to do just that.
