BR moderation

I think the climate was great here a time ago, but lately... I don't know...

I'd vote Montmorency and PVC to get mod rights... The calmest heads around...

[Philippus Flavius Homovallumus]

Oh no!

Not if you hold me down and staple the mask to my face!

For one thing I'm not really suited to it, for another I disagree violently on moderating policy with Beskar, and he's the Admin.

* We don't talk about sex now...

* That's why I recommend you.





All: Don't read this as that much criticism.. I still SO prefer what we have to what we had.

With that said, I even rolled my eyes that some things I wrote was ok... A warning point here and there can work wonders :)

Oh?

Out of curiosity, what do you disagree violently with?

[Kadagar_AV]

I can only answer for myself... But: "The general tone".

Beskar, I think you have done a DAMN good job... I salute you in every way possible, and would gladly buy you a beer...

From my perspective, it is not that you have done anything wrong, it's just that we need more eyes and ears.


Let me make one thing clear, I do NOT, I repeat, NOT talk about replacing mods, I am talking about adding mods.

I firmly believe that people grow when they get responsibility, and that a team need many perspectives.


I only blame you for being a human with a real world to deal with. When you have acted, in each and every situation I have seen, I have found it OK to GREAT.

But the general tone has... I dunno... It isn't as good as a year ago. And the trolling has gone up.

To combat that you need TIME and ENERGY, not a change of rules...

So again, this is with the deepest respects (I should have made that clear in the OP, sorry, I suck at OPs).

[Beskar]

Whilst I agree, i wouldn't describe that as something to violently disagree with. I would use such a term to describe a disagreement, such as opposing a tyrants ironfist.

If I would rank the "thank you for your volunteer time and effort" factor on a scale from 1-10 I'd say PVC's answer was on the minus scale

Pretty much your entire outlook on life, your policy toward moderation, your internet and real life politics.

If you want a specific example, I think you locked Strike's thread too late to avoid it getting nasty but too early for it to achieve catharsis .

Like all good Englishman I crave the iron fist of a man who is better bred and more expensively educated than myself.

Sadly, as I come from impoverished gentry and am lacking at least one Great-Great grandparent the bar there is quite high.

Ouch. Makes me curious with your opinions on what those are, but probably better for a different place.

Was one of those matters where I didn't really want to be seen locking down discussion in a somewhat tyrannical way, since after all, it was discussing staff.

Isn't that what we want in moderators? Spread of views.

Moderating the Backroom is not an easy job and some topics get under people's skin way to easy so keeping calm is not always what one can expect of a human. Best response sometimes is editing with or responding with

OH MY GOD!!!
Now in Britain they want Putin too.
What makes him so special?

Putin is neither of those things, though. He's as much a peasant lacking class as he is a Tyrant lacking morality.
