I use it extremely sparingly, and usually only when it is a person that delights in personal attacks and likes to bait using an Achilles heel. I just don't have room on my screen for it.

I respect this very much.... not that it matters how I feel...lol I feel the same way. yep i'll go with that. i've seen on other sites how things can get very tricky with mods/admin posting. i think it's a tough choice to decide whether to post as a mod or not. i think it depends on the people who are the mods in the first place as to how that would be viewed in a site. on another site there was a male mod who appeared to be very ego driven in his modding. but then he'd also post as a member. the problem was that sometimes you couldn't tell if he was psoting with his mod's hat on, or as a standard member. it also felt at times as though he did it deliberately to catch people out by being boarderline antaganistic as a member, but then slap down and ban members when they came back at him or questioned him about it. it was suggested by several members of that forum that mods should have either two accounts, or state whether posting with the hat on. as said, it's a touch choice as to which would work best. needles

hey i call a thread i start "my thread" (well actually i call it "my fucking thread"). and i don't give a flying fuck if anybody likes it or not. this is one of the few cases where i don't care what others think of the words i chose to express myself. but there's a big fucking but. starting a thread gives me no fucking right to control the fucker. i can point out when some twat has misunderstood what my intent was, but if i post about how good fucking fruit loops are, and everybody else wants to talk about how much they like fucking boring old corn flakes, that's just to fucking bad for me. and if the mods decide they don't want people talking about corn flakes on a fruit loops thread, then that's the way it is, even if i was enjoying the corn flakes talk, or was learning something useful from it. it may be my thread but i get no say in what goes on in it. look at lucy's fucking usps/canadian postal strike thread for fuck's sake. its about 4 different unrelated things. all originally having some sort of fucking vague connection to do with canada, but fuck all to do with the usps or the fucking strike..

I'd love to stay and chat till the wee hours of the morning about my bubbles and so forth but I've got some money to make. Have a good day and Hannah? Fuck off.[:D] (Just for you)

Hannah, i'm not sure if you're just talking there or have misunderstood me, but i have no problem with the way a thread goes once started. i have seen others who do and within the thread ask for moderators to do something about it. i like threads that are left alone to run wherever as long as it's not a complete bitchfest or illegal, so hence asking if it would be possible for an explanation. i get the mods are busy, but it doesn't have to be indepth, just maybe along the lines of; moderated due to request, or complaint, or content and such. not just from a personal 'this thread is off topic' type thing. but my questions/thoughts and so on were sorted out along way back in the thread so all good. i didn't actually lucy's thread as it was about canada so not really something i could comment on. your way of writing though is what i was trying to say last night. the use of Lucy's thread is where the context of implied ownership comes from, figuratively speaking, as opposed to actual. others seem to not have been able to see that as my point. i do like your avatar btw needles

HannahLynHeather -> RE: moderation interpretation? (6/21/2011 10:43:00 AM)
i was mostly just commenting on the whole fucking "my thread" bullshit. yup, this is needles' moderation thread as opposed to anybody else's. if some pedantic twat wants to type out "the thread on moderation started by needles" just to satisfy their own weird sense of the proper use of the fucking language, then go for it. but i'm too fucking lazy, and fuck it, everybody knows what i mean.

LadyPact -> RE: moderation interpretation? (6/21/2011 11:16:58 AM)
I think Hannah probably nailed it on the 'My Thread' deal. Once a thread gets started, if the OP wants to try to keep it on track, the best you're really going to do on the matter is attempt to interact on it with the folks who are responding and try to keep the intent of the topic clear. I happen to think it's also a great mini lesson on stepping into the shoes of a Mod on a very small scale. Now the onus is on the creator of the thread to walk that fine line between good discussion of the topic as well as the insights that came to other people as a result and what really is a hijack. If you want a free flow of ideas, you're not going to try to stifle anybody who expands beyond fruit loops because whatever you wrote up is going to be thought about in different ways and spark things in other people. From the other side of it, if you think the whole thing is going to far and you find folks are just being abusive, you're watching the thread that you created and that nifty report button works. From what I understand, no, the Mods aren't going to discuss their decision with you in any way that reflects their dealings with another poster, which is pretty much the way it should be. Nobody here really would want that to happen if it were the reverse. (In other words, how the whole thing was being handled if you were the offender.) It's not needed anyway because, as Red mentioned, if somebody is going over the line, you'll have notes in your own mail from other forum users who are seeing the same thing that you do. I did also want to take a moment to thank the OP for starting this thread. No matter how we individually feel about posts being pulled or moderation, I think these discussions give us a chance to understand it better.

quote: ORIGINAL: ranja again... i don't mind a good exchange at all, so the tell tale reporting person is just an over sensitive interfering little so and so in my opinion, if they can't stomach the content of what they are reading then i think they should just stay off the boards all together... go to a site about fluffy teddybears or growing pretty flowers or something. about the moderators and being anonymous... if they are... then how do any of the users know who they are? and how does anybody know that there are more than one for sure... and how does anybody know the site is owned by more than one person... and who are they? and how does anybody know the site owner is not the moderator too... and it seems he might be operating under an inconspicuous user name too or maybe many maybe i am totally schizophrenic... maybe i am the only person here Edit to add (no the answer is not really important at all, that is my whole point) I really don't feel it is all that important whether the moderators do or don't have alternate accts on this site. The explanations given by VAA is sufficient enough for this poster. It is solely up to an individual to reveal if they have more than none account.
