Are threads being "OVER-MODERATED"?

According to kbone (who knows everything) i don't like chuckie. It must be true if i read it on the internet. :D



Damn, I guess nobody likes that guy then. But he gave me a really nice hat though. Not that the hat that Mary gave me isn't nice, too.

Sigh, I'm such a whore for a good hat.:P

"where are the white women??"



"How much for your women?"



"Mind if we dance wif yo dates?"










I have no idea what the previous two quotes were referring to, but it reminded me of this one!

you've got to ask yourself one question: 'Do I feel loquacious?' -- well do you, punk?

Actually, Chuckie's quote was from "Blazing Saddles". Apparently you do get out some.:P

:oI never gave you a hat. But I did lose a hat at WFFC. I had to go and beg for another one, lucky for me Jack and Gary like me;)

Why are so many threads being deleted and/or locked by the moderators?



Because we consider this our virtual home town and we care about keeping our community healthy and productive.

It seems to be getting a lot worse lately. While some threads are allowed to degenerate into heavy personal attacks, other threads seem to get locked by the slightest hint of a controversy.



Some threads spin into a PA frenzy very quickly, before a Moderator reads the content and deals with anything inappropriate. Once a Moderator has dealt with one or two of those types of threads, they will take action to keep volatile threads from getting out of hand. Some people just post stuff to stir the pot. I'm sure you know where I'm coming from.

This would not bother me as much if this form of censorship were more consistent. If the moderators had specific guidelines to locking and deleting threads it would work out more fairly.



It would also be nice if I had a parenting manual that told me exactly how to deal with every possible situation that comes up with my kids. All I have at my disposal is my faith, my belief system, and the law to guide me.

That applies here as well. We Moderators understand Sangiro's vision for this online community, and understand how much research he does on maintaining a healthy online community. We also respect the Forum Rules as our local belief system, and support them through our actions. All of us are quite good at making objective decisions, whether you believe it or not.

I have never seen a website with this many moderators.



This community either fits you or it doesn't. It's one thing to register here, learn the layout of the neighborhood, then suggest improvements. It's quite another to move into a neighborhood where everything bothers you and try to change it. That's like building a house right next to the airport and complaining about the noise.

Here's a challenge for you. Take the time to learn about online communities. You can search Sangiro's posts - he has posted several very good links on the subject. Take the time to understand why the Forum Rules are set up as they are, and why the Moderators are trusted to remain objective.

That's enough over-moderating for me . . . I have work to do.
