Thanx Tao,
This is valuable information, for those that are new, and those that have been here a while.
This is the kind of discussion that can help us move forward.
Tao, I want to second Wil in thanking you for your blunt honesty in your input- both about your own behavior and how moderator actions can be perceived by people moderated. It helps a ton.
There is currently a moderator board where we can discuss actions. I think there may be confusion over how this system works. When a member (any member, not just a mod) "reports" a post, we all get an email that a post was reported. We can then see the post and the remarks that whoever reported it made as to the request for moderation. Then we can discuss with whatever moderators happen to be around at the time- usually this is 2-4 people that are around. Then we can make a decision, but only one person sends the PM and actually takes the action.
Much of the moderating actions I have seen come as a result of the reporting system. So in a way, other non-mod members act as moderators as well, alerting us when they feel the CoC has been broken. If you think about it, all members act as cops on the beat, the CoC is the law, and mods are judges. The goal is civil conversation.
It's the best system Brian has come up with so far, but of course, like any system it has its flaws and always will. We are currently discussing potential changes that may improve things, but it takes time to do this and I hope that people can be patient.
Namaste and de nada dahling,personally, I think some of those that become moderators change. It usually takes awhile for the mod hat to get old and they revert back to normal people. I think the only one that I like more as a moderator is wil because hes not quite as obnoxious as he was pre-moderator (sorry wil)
Well I'd love to promise you that you will never have to do that on my account again, but I will not make you a promise I might not keepAnd Tao, to answer your own concerns more specifically, I have been involved a few times in putting comments forth on posts that would be considered "personal attacks." There were a few times I weighed in that you had pushed the limit a bit too far and needed a warning.
Bruce, in my opinion, is just a douche bag.
Sorry *** is a moderator/admin and you are not allowed to ignore him or her.
another example of the class system at interfaith in action![]()
its seems that moderators have a free soapbox on which to exercise their already massive egos. sorry mods as you are not all bad. Out of principle I can not enter into dialogue with known moderators![]()
