Consistent moderation

[Szczepankiewicz]

Y'all just lucky Tim didn't enlist me in the moderator corps.


The general rule of thumb is don't say anything in a post you wouldn't say face to face.

We Dont.

[Szczepankiewicz]

Riiiight.

[B]Making a decision to moderate posts involves subjective decisions, such as what is constructive, what is appropriate and what is decent. You can't please everybody, and you don't need even to try to please trolls. Ghost, Lizard, Thai Br: You have done a nice job of proving my point. Your posts rapidly spiral down into childish exchanges of invective and profanity.


No they don't. So poo off, wee wee knickers!

Anyway, to say you moderate without prejudice (which, to be fair, you have not said) would be inaccurate. Just take a look where myself and Her Highness clashed. You left her insults, and even told me to "lighten up". Yet my posts were deleted. Just reading her posts show that to be so.

Not that I'm particularly arsed.

[Szczepankiewicz]

On but you ARE particularly arsed.

Whatever the hell that means....

[Thai Bri]

Its the man who can't spell "Oh". Haw haw haw!

[Szczepankiewicz]

Nope.

'On' is simply a lower cased 'Oh'

Shows what you know...



P.S. You've got male.

I mean 'mail'

Yes, they were handled differently. You had already used up your reservoir of credibility. Ms. J., a relative newcomer, had not. Some of the moderating was also handled by ryanhall through a private channel. In any case, bad conduct, any conduct for that matter, of another does not excuse you of being responsible for your actions.

Interesting....


Bri has been posting on the forum for over a year and provides good info, great humor, and ever the amusing contraversy. By far one of the more productive members of the forum and he gets cut less slack than someone who is A) a newbie to the forum, B) takes up a gig or more of hard drive for each novella post, and C) is just as guilty of posting ad hominem as anyone else?

Personally, I think Ryan and Terry are doing a good job reigning in on the monster that is MSDF. It is a LOT better around here than it was a few months ago. However, as a moderator it is often best to use the same rules for everyone...

Unless of course they are English. Then simply ban that arse.

i'm not criticizing you here, lizard. no offense or anything."

Thanx. You're a ****ing ****head....... no offense

*shrug

hey, i just came on here and saw a post that seemed to be singling out terry's moderation and criticizing it, followed immediately by a post saying "no offense." it gave me the usual reaction to anyone who does that...

if you can't take a joke over your posts, it's not my ****ing problem. i really feel not bad at all.

Actualy it was just a joke, you're right people do say "no offense" when they clearly do mean offense. I shouldn't have said anything about terry.

But hey, it's not my fault if you can't take a joke...
