I Think That We Should Change The No Discussing Moderation Actions On The Public Board Rule

[Dante]

This is what I would say to this...
I admin'd USPOL back in it's heyday in the 2000s. It was certainly larger than this board is now.
Anyway - we had the same rule as does virtually every board.
The problem is all it becomes is "anti-mod" threads. And it makes trying to recruit/keep good mods that much harder. Think about it - who wants to be a mod when every time you do something that person calls you a fucking idiot etc. out on the open.

Great whine. Need some cheese to go with that?

Good gawd, can you stifle it with you and uspol

NO - but it is weird that you did all that.

Ah okay yeah I can most definitely see your point too.

Yeah - but I can see others point too.
There are not near enough mods here, and what we have is appallingly one sided and bad.
But the owners of this site care only about page counts for ad revenue, not blaming them, it just is what it is - so they have zero interest in how good/bad moderation is as long as page counts continue and no laws are broken.

Please hear me out first. As if people want to whine I say let them whine!! After all, they're only opening themselves up to public humiliation. I got this idea when just recently seeing AyeCantSeeYou deal with a whiner although I can see why the rule exists, I say that we should give them what they want and deserve which is attention.

So no this isn't me complaining about the rules so if the mods still say no I will say okay, but please don't close this thread as I think that this could make for a really good and interesting discussion. I'm just curious what everybody else thinks about this and to see if the mods can see my side about this.

I'm not aware of any forum that wants moderating gripes aired in public. Just simply chat to a mod.

Oh come on don't you see my point?

I see it. 90% of the moderation is excellent...but power corrupts and absolute power corrupts absolutely.

From my 16 year perspective...one of the current moderators abuses their power. Has it happened before? Yes. But administration was more hands on then and the offending moderator was usually dismissed.

That's no longer the case.

But luckily President Trump is going to win not only the election, but this nameless moderator's home state...and I'm going to spend the next four years rubbing it in his face every day.

Won't happen. I have been reading this Board for almost a decade. With three particular posters now with mod power no longer, the Board has really, really become much fairer to all, imho.

That is true

Most of the Nazi Mods are gone
One remains

You got that, Tazbo, hmm?

Is it that obvious?

We need a "dupe" mod.....There are four threads currently visible on the active topics page about Schumer dissing Vance this morning.

Like flies to a fresh pile of dog shit.

And by “shit,” I am referencing any advice from Upchucky Schmucky Schumer.

I could understand if it just happened but that was at around 1100 this morning.

It is strange.

Btw, surprise, surprise that Procrustes Stretched was whining because he couldn't stop talking about Trump again.

Mention Harris and counter with Trump equivalency is somehow being off topic?

Clarification? I do know if one Mentions Trump it's all out attacks that take a thread off into cuckoo-land. But to counter an attack on Harris with an equivalency on Trump is not straying off a topic as far as I can figure out. Can we get a coherent well thought out clarification -- or not?

But Trump wants us to talk about him.

I immediately thought of baseball. A fan could say "now that they finally got rid of those two shitty umpires the game is so much fairer" and everyone will know you're talking about Joe West and Angel Hernandez.

We know who you're talking about.

 

[boevans]

I am sure you do.

 

[Delldude]

But Trump wants us to talk about him.

And Kamala doesn't.................................

 

[Gracie]

they're only opening themselves up to public humiliation.

Oh the irony.

 

[WinterBorn]

Well have you ever seen it done without a complaining attitude? I mean if people want to whine then why shouldn't they have the right to? That'll just give us the right to point and laugh at them. It's entertainment in my eyes.

There is no "right" to whine.

You are free to discuss moderation with the mods. But bringing it up just to complain is a waste of space and breeds discontent.
