Regarding being hasselt by the mods about going OT

[kennedia_nigricans]

We could at the bottom of the OP add a line like that

"General chat welcome, please feel free to discuss OT here as well"

it would make it impossible to be OT in a thread and the harassment by the mods might recede a bit.

to the mods:

mod·er·ate  (mdr-t)adj.

1. Being within reasonable limits; not excessive or extreme: a moderate price.

2. Not violent or subject to extremes; mild or calm; temperate: a moderate climate.

your moderation style can certainly be called excessive, extreme and unreasonable. I and most other posters here would like you to be more moderate in your moderation.

 it was seen by many

so how did that happen if you were no longer members of that forum?

Hi Joz, is that a moderation suggestion or off topic?

[joz*garage · Accepted solution]

hi karen

you forgot to ask a few other posters that too

It's all history now Joz.  I just thought that Poddster's post number 14 was incredibly funny.

That is true.............as Flashie I posted about 4 times.......and decided it was not for me..................but the place leaked rather badly.

I much prefer the moderation on here now..............maybe a little fun destroying at time...........but at least teh posts appear to be read before moderating.

It never happened but how did you read it?


Lol that's funny!

Iike the mods on here now, I have had a couple of mild warnings and I am ok with that.

Not like the days when I got slapped if I talked about any thing but the weather LOL

Lol Deb, I didn't notice that haha.

I think the primary off topic dobbers have got a new hobby, and hopefully lithium initiated some new guidelines (for example, only accepting g reports from thread participants).

The thing I don't like about the new moderation is the unclear guidelines. How do you know which message is a slap, and which is a suggestion... and what are the slap numbers required for a narp. If people don't know the guidelines, and they have a clan of personal dobbers, it's even more important to be transparent IMO.

I don't understand how it works either Karen, I've just learnt to stay away from those I don't like. Lol

The mods were pretty supportive to me on another issue, & I appreciated that
