quote: ORIGINAL: mnottertail quote: ORIGINAL: GreedyTop Ijust got my first spank from ModXI. She quoted the relevant text, and told me not to do it again. Terse but not rude. and I think you will find this to be the case, rather than the exception, but if you know what's up, or have been around the barn long enough where you should know whats up, after a while a: Give it a rest, (insert your moniker here). should be sufficient to indicate that if you don't let go of it, it is not going to turn into your best day on earth. Ron Excellent point, Ron, and something that I think some people may miss. The fact is that (and we have all meet someone like this) there are some people who: 1. Can't take no for an answer, 2. Will never acknowledge even the possibility that they might be in the wrong, 3. Will argue ad infinitum over whether or not the sky is dark blue or light blue. This takes a toll on a moderator, because often, these are the people who take up most of their time. It can breed a level of ... impatience ... on a moderators part, which might carry over into their communications with other (more normal? [:D]) posters. shrugs I try to take that into account with any communications I have with the mods. Firm

I'm not dissin' ModXI..in fact, after I had posted, I figured I'd hear from her (I was driving to work when I thought of it). More power to her.

FirmhandKY -> RE: On "Moderation" in all things ... (2/4/2008 10:46:29 AM)
Greedy, I didn't take it as your were dissin', just sharing. My comment was addressed specifically to Ron, but in actuality to everyone. Firm

Great idea FirmHand! And something I think the mods should consider. This would take away the 'it's personal' element of the chastisement, give a clear reason for the reprimand, and explain what actions are being taken. Brilliant. ~Christina

BoiJen -> RE: On "Moderation" in all things ... (2/4/2008 10:52:50 AM)
I'm gonna disagree...yeah everybody has a bad day. And yet as posters it's expected by the admin and moderators of the forums that you still address eachother with respect and not send the types of things the said Mod has sent. I got no problem admitting when I'm wrong. It's an entriely different matter when asking whre one has messed up to not get an answer...rather a "threat." And don't seriously expect the admin of the site to do anything or change anything either. Yeah they have feedback forms and they don't answer them. And these are reasons why people will abandon collarme in mass as they have alt.com. The admin and mods are playing head games like a bunch of high school kids who think they're cool. I have money on the fact that the admin is not likely to address any of the complaints listed or mentioned in thsi thread and that before the end of the day there's gonna be more "warnings" or open censorship of the forums. And on a site that's supposed to be about open community and has the complaint of the average Joe shutting us down....to have that within the "communisty" is outright bullshit. There I said it...now I'm gonna go wait for my slap on the wrist or some such.

Deleted because Im not going there .. its useless .......

Jeffff -> RE: On "Moderation" in all things ... (2/4/2008 11:02:13 AM)
the point is....there is no point. Mod XI can and will do as she pleases. whether you agree or disagree with that does not matter...:) I wish to continue posting, there fore I will think twice before I post. It is not a free speech issue , it is not about a free exchange of ideas. It is about a group of strangers talking about a common interest, paid for by someone who has their own thoughts on behavior. It shouldn't be so hard to understand. Jeff Thats was a general reply, it was not directed at Miss H. or anyone in particular..:)

Glad I caught this prior to changing your mind about posting the thought; "...this to me is the same as if .. you dont want to be a MOD ... dont complain about how they do their jobs." I agree and would go further. I wouldn't want the job and know I couldn't do it for the reason pointed to by this quote; "*If you don't notice the umpire, he's doing a good job*. (~ Baseball saying). There aren't as many "complaints" as there are observations. Enforcing the rules, even if they are moving targets or subject to personal interpretations such as 'obscenity' issues; makes it incumbent to be invisible. I know in my heart it would be impossible for me to be invisible. I believe that the personality profile of a person who becomes a 'Mod'; would include traits such as confidence, self assurance, and assertiveness. Those traits make usually go along with being noticed. The 'excellent pay and benefits' can't possibly make up for the frustration. And what else can you do but use the power associated with the job in those cases where you've already bitten through your tongue? The bottom line remains and should always be a first consideration when observing or complaining. We are owed no explanation; just as we are owed no refund.

quote: We are owed no explanation True. But if the purpose of giving a warning is to change offending behavior it would be helpful if the person receiving the warning knew exactly what the offending behavior is.

Which is why Firm's proposal for a modform hits the nail on the head.

I'm acting as an agent of the Galactic Overlords who own this site and If I was doing solely as I pleased, I would certainly hear from them. They don't take an active part in moderation of the forums, but they are always watching. XI

Jeffff -> RE: On "Moderation" in all things ... (2/4/2008 12:56:10 PM)
Ok..... bad phrasing om my part. LOL... the rest of my point remains valid. It does say. "designated" under your name. Jeff

RCdc -> RE: On "Moderation" in all things ... (2/4/2008 12:58:35 PM)
quote: We are owed no explanation QFT Quite honestly, I find it bizarre that people can claim they have no idea what they have done 'wrong'. It doesn't take two minutes to check to see which one of your own threads were pulled, or to scan your last dozen or so posts to see where you went wrong - claiming ignorance does not excuse stupidity nor does it negate responsibility. the.dark.

KatyLied -> RE: On "Moderation" in all things ... (2/4/2008 1:03:37 PM)
I'm only repeating what people tell me.

mnottertail -> RE: On "Moderation" in all things ... (2/4/2008 1:11:27 PM)
lol, youse guys........... I can't help but laugh at this...... here is some posting history: Hey!!!! Twyla, how you doin', girl? Check out the MacGuffies on ol' .dark over there!!!! hey, this penquin, a seal and the ancient mariner walk into a bar, see? And... FUCK YOU ASSHOLE!!!!!!! So, I think in a non-homogenous society, that there are intrinsic behaviors...... Gorean is a concept that is not for everyone, but then it don't try to be........ Yesterday was a rough week, the UMs were down with the sniffles, the old man was on the warpath.......... Am I the only one? they all are parts of speeech............... And then you get a note from 11 saying, 'Don't EVER do that again if you want to post on CollarMe ' And you are gonna go---- What? What'd I say? Nah, that don't quite get it, Vinny Barbarino

RCdc -> RE: On "Moderation" in all things ... (2/4/2008 1:12:27 PM)
Yeah Katy, I know, I was really responding to Mercs comment - just was easier to use his quote on your thread as a fast reply...[:)] Saying that though, I have never, not once - recieved a mod spank without knowing the reason. XI has always told me directly - by either posting the offending part in the mail, or because the posts been pulled - case in point, the hijack thread - I just got spanked by her/him because of it. Do I have to agree that its been pulled, nope, but I gotta understand its happened and accept it because I obviously did something wrong, regardless of whether I think I did anything wrong or not. So I do question when people make a 'claim' that they are completely in the .dark. of their misdemeanor. the.dark.
