And who said he hates moderators? There was an account hinting at some less-than-stellar behavior behind the scenes in moderator-land, and someone with a novelty nick suspiciously like mine pointed out the fairly obvious fact that it was indeed less than stellar. This translates into hatred, how? A failure to address what might be a relatively serious matter may gain them a drop in stature in some quarters, but that's not quite the same thing as hate.
I wasn't goin to say anything else. But you don't know what the hell you are talking about. You are filling in blanks with possible answers when there is nothing there. My point was that yes we have had to ban people who were considered by some to be "very important." The evidence was overwhelming. A simple policy was started at that time, not to publically comment every time we ban someone. In that particular case, we wondered if members would notice. As it happened, the subject never came up on the board.
I would guess without looking at about 10 people have been banned in the past two weeks. Some for spamming and some for being underage. I don't plan to go to the file and make a weekly list and reasons.
And I'm sure you are going to get your panties in a wad that there is a file seen only by moderators and administrators of mderator's actions and why. Yep we do take notes and refer back to how a particular problem might have been handled in the past and yes we use the ToS as our guide on taking actions.
You've bitched and bitched how every thing is SOOOO secret. And I'm sure you will find something to bitch about becasue I explained just then that keep notes and follow the ToS to the best of our abillity.
Come on, BD, the Supreme Court has nine justices to judge what is consittutional and what it not. And there are lost of 5 to 4 decisions.
We are a lot like a court, we interpret the ToS by consensus as we try to moderate the board. I'm quite sure that if we don't do our jobs well, it will be Rob E. the owner, not BD the member who will make that decision.
BD. You have judged this situation without any evidence whatsoever.
