And my original point Zeus, god of blunder, is that by engaging in name calling and openly breaking a forum rule, IE doing EXACTLY what should get a post yanked or a thread locked, did NOT in fact have any impact on this thread. Bringing up ... AGAIN my POINT that moderation is inconsistent and THAT is my problem with Lighthouse. Part of his job is to ensure the moderators are on the same page. He isn't. He should.

So are we clear now? or did you just skip that paragraph?

One possible factor to consider is that we are pretty certain that the mods are aware of this whole thread in general, and this thread, by its very nature, violates the forum rules, but this thread still exists.

That suggests that the "rules" are placed in discretionary abeyance, at least for the moment.

I would argue that constantly citing this thread as an example of uneven modding (as some others have done repeatedly) serves no purpose as this thread has probably been allowed to exist as a way to get a general feel of the community (perhaps to even see just how bad it gets if left alone)

There are problems to be sure, but this thread is not part of the problem, it is part of the solution.

I agree with Sayer - on this.

This is an active discussion into the sort, style and level of moderation we would like. Very helpful to the Mods and the Customer relations folks if you ask me.

Well, since I'm demanding a free flashing, I would suspect you could flash me.

And right now, we've hit the point where this thread should be locked because it's severely derailed.

But if the mods do lock it, are they being efficient and doing the right thing, or stamping on the posting rights of innocent forum goers and ruining the community? Discuss.

[/ QUOTE ]

No, they should have locked it a long time ago.

[/ QUOTE ]

Everything that can really be said about moderation has been said. Now we're just repeating ourselves because we keep paraphrasing each other in bad ways.

Good times!

[/ QUOTE ]

I prefer the broken record scenario myself.

But...I just said it was a broken record in more words!

The fact that this thread is STILL going in my opinion makes an absolute mockery of the Rules , specifically this part, which has already been quoted earlier I believe.

"6. Censorship Posts.

All posts referring to message board censorship will be removed."

This thread is directly violating the forum rules and the reds are not only letting it slide, they have posted in it.

Its madness. Madness, I tell you.

Eco.

Hi everyone,

I wanted to reply back to this thread let you all know that I've read it and to bring it to a close. While I understand well the above rule that MrCaptainMan quotes, my intention in letting this thread ride was an important one: to hear your thoughts, feelings and concerns regarding the forum moderation. As the new "Sheriff" in town, I certainly do not want to dictate without being receptive to your concerns.

One other change you will notice, that is a result of your feedback, that is all Forum Moderators and Administrators now have a Orange color name. Crytpic Development Team Members continue to have a Red name. This will help address any confusion between the two teams as well as perhaps make reading the Dev Digest, looking for Development Team Member posts, easier. Ideally, we would have multiple digests; but I'll leave that for now as something to work on later

Another thing I would like to point out is the fact that our forums rely on you, the people who visit it, in part for moderation. On any given day there are simply too many posts for the Moderation Team to actively read each and every one. We ask that our readers, should they see something that is not in line with the Message Forum Rules and Guidelines to let us know by clicking the "Notify Moderator" button that can be found on the lower left of each post. That button is right most of the three in the "Post Extras:" section.

In closing, allow me to again thank you for your input. I know that our moderation, at times, can seem inconsistent. This issue has been a high one on my list since coming on and I hope that, as the months progress, you will find a noticeable improvement in how things are being handled. Our Moderation Team is a great bunch of people and we are working hard to make our customer's experience a good one.

Respectfully yours,
Lighthouse
