Moderators on the GB?

[Bluesboy2]

Okay, now I see why you started a thread to "prove" Lavy and friends wrong. The problem is that you had more information than the rest of the board about the harm being caused to someone due to Draah not moderating personal info off the board when requested to. (Although the request went to the standard "report thread to moderator" information location, right? You just know after the fact that Draah had access at the time.) The rest of us didn't know the person being hurt in rl. Doesn't mean it didn't happen, it just happened off the board so we didn't see.

While Draah's deliberate lack of action may have hurt someone in real life, did she know that would be the effect when she didn't moderate as requested? Did she purposely not moderate with the intent to hurt someone?

Yes, she did. You really need to read the logs to truly understanfd what a wonderful person she is. It isn't one isolated incident. Oh no...She shows a patter on maliciousness and total lack of cncern for anyone she deems "unwrothy". That would include the majority of the people here.

I was reading just prior to his stuff being deleted and yeah, that's how it played out. Unfortunately.

 

[Bluesboy2]

I believe that is Bluesboy2's contention, yes. Not only that she didn't act, but was in on it in the first place.

From what I read in the logs when he posted them, I could definitely see how he came to that conclusion, although I don't know anything about the situation in question.

Coorect, and it is NOT a contention. It is her words I go by.

I don't even know what happened other than what is mentioned here (some vague bit about posting personal information and harming others) and what I could make sense of in what you posted; so I'm trying to be intentionally vague.

Wow, I'm busy for a day and then it feels like old home week for me as I'm posting after the discussion.

We have a moderator. It's Laurel or her designee. There is a little button at the bottom of every post that says: Report to Moderator.

We moderate ourselves. We can have temper tantrums and we can get mad, but it doesn't change the fact that we are suppose to be self moderators.

We all have choices, just the way we are now. Nothing at lit really needs to change.

****** has bitched about being censured since I've been on the board. For the SAME thing. Over and over. Get over it! It's happened, it's done and can't be undone, move on.

Mia, you have done dirt in the past. Major dirt, quit acting like an ex drunk or ex smoker. Some people will never accept you back into the fold. Get over it.

We all need to decide who we're going to post with, whom we're going to trust and we're going to take our chances, just like in the 3D world. If we make a mistake, we just have to get over it and change our own behavior and realize that some people will never forget.

You gossip over pm? It's going to happen about you, too. When someone tries to gossip to me over pm or IM, I cut them off. I trust my own judgment.

When you gossip with a gossip, you're going to get burned if you share too much information. Guess what? That's just like real life, too. That's what happened to draaah and Bob. They're gossips.

Be cautious, don't let the trolls win, which is what would happen if this board gets moderated.

The good and real people will remain so and there's the ignore feature for the others.

Put the enjoyment back into your lit experience!



Is Florida disintegrated yet?

I remember she did things on purpose. But I didn't remember that she did THAT particular thing on purpose. Ouch.

Supposedly almost half an hour ago, but I'm not watching the news, so I don't know if he was successful.

The whole thing is an amazing read, and much different than "a mistake".

Unfortunately, when I threw the switch, the circuit breaker tripped.

I'm going to have to get the power company to bring in a larger service.

Linuxgeek, and the rest of Florida, still live. For now.

Nevertheless, I think there is a question as to whether there could be such a strict constructionist on the matter. Can someone be trusted with the power to do these the right thing when that will also give them the power to do the wrong thing?

Given events over the last 6 months or so, trust is probably on one of its low points for the GB. But this is why, if a mod or team of mods are put in place, I feel they need to be listed as such. Anonymity does make people have the illusion they can say and do things they normally wouldn't. It just takes looking at the GB to see this.

I would hope, if management did bestow the responsiblity of enforcing the guidelines on the GB or any section of Lit, that to management, the person would not be anonymous at all.

It would be nice to know which Johnny-on-the-spot edited my thread today.

I thought you were suppose to be moderator for catching my typos...

Very. Great job, gotta hand it to them.

Sorry, I am muli-tasking and not reading closely. Forgive me?

Now that you mention it, it was before dawn California time when your thread was edited so it it isn't likely that Laurel or Manu were awake yet.

Hmmmmmm.

I agree that if there were to be moderators, making them anonymous would only fuel suspicion and damage credibility and trust.

Of course, anyone who was moderator would be rendered largely incapable of having a normal posting career and who would volunteer for that?

Furthermore, none of that resolves the issue of the fact that no one is online on Lit 24 hours a day.

As I said earlier, I don't think there is a good solution to the problem.

You mean you weren't in the loop about who it is? Damn

Admittedly, some of the mods on other boards have gotten out of control, but the GB is getting out of hand. The threats, the divulging of personal info, and the threatening to divulge personal info have all really got to stop. The exchange of free information is a good thing, but all of these things intimidate other users, inhibit the exchange of information and ideas, and drive users away.

 

[John Doe]

Don't knock fascism. They always have cool uniforms.

Enh, they don't show much imagination IMO.

 

[DéjàNu]

I do believe there is already "invisible" mods.

Laurel and Manu arent connected to their computer 24 hours a day.

Now is this all right there is ivisible mods or not?
its not our damn business, we are not the owner of that board so its not us to decide how things are administered. Yes they can ask us what we want and what we wish for, but the last words is for them only... and if we dont like how they manage their website then the not happy poeple should find another one.

Let me tell you, its not always a piece of cake to make everyone happy.

 

[Cheyenne]

Nope, not a clue.

 

[Equinoxe]

That's my point as well, there is no good solution to the problems on here.
