Forum Administrators- Do your JOB,
Re: Forum Administrators- Do your JOB,
FYI.......Enchanter posted some particularly disgusting messages during the wee hours this morning. I responded by saying that he'd finally revealed himself to not be the helpless/clueless, lost boy that he'd presented himself as. I further suggested that he should leave the forum as his "boy who cried wolf" routine wasn't being bought here anymore and that perhaps his exiting might prompt the return of RobySue to these pages. (A huge asset, IMO) Then.......... someone went and used the revisionist historian button and deleted every trace of those posts. I can't/won't speculate as to whom it might have been, there's a long, long list of potential "usual suspects". I just wanted to relate to members what was removed from their view while they were (hopefully) in blissful, relaxing sleep. I think that the "Report Spam" button should have limitations so that some immature sneak can't just arbitrarily delete another's post simply because they want to be childish or disagree with the message it contains. Sorta' contradicts the wild, wild west credo laid out by the host's statement, in my opinion. Yes ?

well, really, we're best without what he said, (looking at the topic review in the quote, I see what you're referring too... fortunately, even that is being pushed off the scroll... we're better off without it.Gasper62 wrote:Perhaps but.....why did they hafta' do it right when the pitiful, little wizard character behind the curtain finally revealed his sorry self ?

If someone maliciously deletes your posts, contact the mods, especially if there's a pattern. The mods have taken action against such things in the past.

The only reason he was behind the curtain is the "Do Gooders",provided him with it. If people were more aware of how things are in the real world, they would have figured him out on page one, not page 5. We have a , overabdunce of political correct liberals here, just like society.

Oh no! I missed it! I just saw the one where G62 called E. a troll, and E. told G62 GFY (so that would actually make it E. 1, G62 0).palerider wrote:well, really, we're best without what he said, (looking at the topic review in the quote, I see what you're referring too... fortunately, even that is being pushed off the scroll... we're better off without it.Gasper62 wrote:Perhaps but.....why did they hafta' do it right when the pitiful, little wizard character behind the curtain finally revealed his sorry self ?

Re: Forum Administrators- Do your JOB,
This is an old thread but respectfully Johnny, that's not the case. I've been involved in and helped moderate some forums over the years including one of the largest ones on the Internet. And if there's one thing that is as certain as death and taxes, it's that without moderation, forums go downhill. Sure, the community can continue to be useful, but countless good people get driven away, and a few bad apples will derail countless threads. If it's a forum about computers, it may not be a big deal. But when it's a forum where people need support that could be LIFE SAVING, it's a huge deal.johnnygoodman wrote: Howdy,
I don't think you really want me to do what you ask. It assumes I can use a heavy hand to "fix it". I can't. It'll be more broken and less free.
The only way to win here is to be vigilant and have better ideas.
I think CPAPtalk waxes and wanes. I've watched with great displeasure at some comments, but I've also seem strong rebuttals. Good has always won in the past and it'll win here in time.
My job is to keep it free. Your job is to make sure good triumphs in message and spirit.
In conclusion and respectfully, no, I won't change the shape of CPAPtalk just because we're having a bad month. They don't get to have that impact on us.
We are the community we build and choose. Nothing more or less. If there's a hero to ride in and make things better, it is you.
Johnny
The statement that some moderating will make it become broken and less free is just not the case. Just the opposite, I've seen forums dominated by in fighting and flaming transformed by good moderating within a matter of days into polite communities where everyone tries to help each other. The moderator is very much like the head of a company - YOU create the culture - EVERYTHING starts at the top. Good does not win, without YOU. If YOU make it clear you don't want people mistreated, by and large that's the way it will be.
No one wants hyper moderation. In fact once you set the tone for what's allowed, it's rarely ever necessary. But how about at least doing something about members who serve 0 purpose in this forum other than crapping all over and derailing every other thread they post in and driving away people that need help? viewtopic/t109957/What-careersjobs-best ... eople.html And yes, for once, almost everyone to a person spoke up there. But that won't stop it from happening again tomorrow and the next day and the next - only you can do that.

Re: Forum Administrators- Do your JOB,
I'm irritated by seeing people who come here for help, who don't say an unkind word to anyone else, many of whom are clearly desperate and depressed, be mistreated by a couple of members. People who are desperate and depressed are the most likely to be affected by that. And I'm voicing my opinion about it, and if that irritates you....actually NO, I wouldn't tell you to leave. You help a lot of people and are by and large supportive.ChicagoGranny wrote:Oh bull crap.Heart Jumping wrote:without moderation, forums go downhill
