Anyone else had problems with mods playing god ?
If a mod has a problem with a post at least have the balls to contact me and let me know why
Who cares ?
Between the vast amount of time my employer demands to keep me in the lifestyle to which I have become accustomed, and the demands of my family including 4 teenage children, and all the other things in my life. I (like many of the others who do this) still find time to devote many hours a week
helping to keep these various forums in some sense of order.
Most of what is removed or edited can be of little surprise or bewilderment to the author, because it is in obvious violation of the rules they signed up to. Indeed 90% is the removal of blatant advertising spam and similiar detrius. Most of the rest is simply matching the right post with the right forum. In fact very little content is borderline or controversial. Nevertheless in the case of the latter, there might be a referral to other administrators or moderators for a second opinion. Sometimes an email or message to the author
might occur.
It doesn't take "balls" to contact you or anybody else, it takes time. That is often in very short supply, and for the reasons already given, sometimes pointless in any event.
If somebody does contact me to ask a question, I will always take the time (at some reasonable point), to reply.
There are many of us on here, and we all have different personalities and degrees of methodology. A lot of us have been doing it for 10 years or more, often with little fanfare. Sometimes we disagree with each other, but we all try to keep the site operating in a way that frees it of some of the wilder nonsense that can be readily found elsewhere. If you don't like it, you are free to criticise, comment or set up your own site elsewhere. We don't get everything right, and we certainly make mistakes from time to time. However one thing I am quite sure about is that nobody who moderates this site falls into the category of "idiot".
If you still believe they do, well as I say, who cares ?
