A board with a private owner is a private business and, I suppose, has no obligation to disclose who owns the board , who administers it and who moderates. There is also no obligation to be "fair and balanced". He who pays the piper calls the tune. If you don't like it, don't dance there.You know I don't honestly know how it is done here. I'm sure most sites owners have ways to do it though. At mine I pick the Bosses aka admins and the Bosses pick the Under Bosses aka Mods.How are mods chosen? Who does the choosing? Is this information available somewhere on the board?
But that is just speaking for me NO others.
I think I would like to see a non-profit coop board with transparency about administration and a democratic approach to posts and mods. There must be some such on the Interwebs. I don't know how to find them. They may actually be worse than proprietary boards such as this one. I just don't know; but as an American, I am predisposed to like transparency and democracy in the exercise of my First Amendment rights.
