That is so far from the truth hahah! Its an IDEA, not a mandate. I have no desire to be a mod! nor do I think I'm above or below anyone on here, nor am I trying to dictait something to the mods, nor do I think anything EXCEPT that a user's words perhaps shouldn't be edited, and here are some suggestions for working around that if the people want it. The mods on here do a great job, AS I POSTED AT THE BEGINNING OF THE THREAD  This is about what the people want, what everyone feels is right! So can we stick to that rather than finger pointing? :P |
I'm a bit lost here. Your suggestions started a similar thread yesterday, yet you made no attempt to discuss the replies Matt. Then when on this thread somebody makes the observation "In fact the owners can do what the hell they want really as long as they don't bully anyone. It is entirely funded by them and can thus be controlled by them. There is nothing that states this is a full democracy or that it requires to be that." you seem to go off on one. No-one has accused you of trying to dictate .. and I'm not sure why you're suddenly seeming to defend yourself against "finger pointing".
Just because some feel the system works pretty well most of the time, that there are pretty clear rules of engagement we should all be aware of, and that it's acceptable for moderators to enforce this by way of editing/removal (and you can always appeal via PM) why do you feel peeved, or it would seem attacked in some way? Not all agree with your proposals, that's all.
The current situation isn't an every day one .. it's not unique, but events were almost guaranteed to create a furore. The moderators will simply do their best to deal with it as it unfolds .. and are.
