Just curious, with the events of the last few months, how many would like to see the GB have moderators?

If so, should their identities be public knowledge or should they be anonymous Mod's?
 
What exactly do the mods do on the other boards? How do they decide what posts to remove? How do they deal with obnoxious posters? Would having them on the GB really make a difference?

I voted to use the ignore botton....

Did you shave your pussy today? :D

Yes I did.

But she didn't see the humour in it and I have the scratches and bite marks to prove it. Along with a really really funny looking cat.

Learn to use the ignore button. The board has become a friendlier since I put a few key people (LT, plasmaball) on ignore.
 
I bet the people who have voted yes have never been on the business end of a moderator.

Bluespoke is a king hell bastard who banishes me to the GLBT board every chance he gets.

...well, no he doesnt, but he could if he wanted to. He's a mod, he has "powers".

ROFLMAO!!!

He banishes me every chance he gets, so don't go thinkin' you're special or sumthin' :D

Moderators have systematically taken most of the fun out of the other Lit forums....which is why the GB is the most popular, free-wheeling of them all.

If there were Mods, they should be anon.

Power corrupts.

Lit Mods have been proven over time to be bias and/or corrupt, one after another.

Cymbidia, Draaahhhh, KillerMuffin, MissTaken, Risia, that zoophilic loon on the PLayground who committed suicide, etc.
 
I voted no... mainly because it's my usual knee-jerk reaction to any kind of censorship in general.

But what exactly does a mod do? What criteria do they use in deciding to what posts to remove or who should stay and who should go? It seems just so subjective to me...

And I'm one who has no one on ignore. If I don't want to read it I have a built-in ignore button.

Is this being considered?
 
Remember Killer Muffin's posts saying she'd talked to the police in the woman's town?

It was fairly hot stuff at the time.

Plus, she loved sucking dogcock.

I don't want to see mods like on other boards. The obnoxious posts are part of the charm of this place. If someone gets their feelings hurt, they belong elsewhere. But the damage extending past feelings and into personal lives is our of control.

The spilling of personal information has got to stop and has to be dealt with.

I'd like to know that there's someone around taking responsibility for posts that hurt more than feelings.

That's how I'd see a moderator on the GB, as a policer of those who break the rules with personal stuff. Damn tough job though as I see it.
