Where's V4 with the "Damn mods" trademarked phrase? And why hasn't anyone called repost yet? Seems like once every couple of months someone gets a stick up their ass about mods wielding too much power and certain they could do a better job. Last time I checked this was a FREE forum and the mods get paid exactly the same, nothing. Lighten up on 'em ferchrisake. If you don't like it here, leave, its a big internet.
 
6 pages and I still don't know who dunnit. :dunno

I always suck at these murder-mystery games.

Dude, look around, youre not the only one getting threads closed. Its not all about you. Did you ever notice that some of those ride threads were people talking about the ride coming up and then for a few days after, but it doesnt really go beyond that ?!?! And why is it that you had to have a special thread specifically to chat about your rides ?!?! Youre not special, youre not the only group ride organizer. Other people have been organizing rides for a long time and never once did anyone feel that a thread needed to be started to chat between rides. Pm's work.

Wow, all this negative stuff for Tim! WTF?

I worked with him. He'd direct, blunt, and actually a super-nice guy. He just calls it like he sees it. No bullshit, one of the least prejudiced guys I've met and the few people I know that can assess a situation and form an opinion based solely on the facts presented, not any pre-conceived notions.

Tim's really consistent in regards to stamping out squidliness when he sees it. And he's super nice in meatspace (probably so he doesn't make everyone around him drop to their knees and cry :laughing :laughing).

Oh, and this thread was made with the intent to bait and flame a mod, not a good idea.:|
You might get a week to ponder it.

Unless you are a mind reader, it is a bit of a reach to say what another person's intentions are. How is the above remark any less baiting, esp. when it ends off with a threat to ban? This kind of response does more harm than good to the moderators' reputation.

Shockingly enough, when people have a problem with a particular action by a particular Moderator, they very rarely (read nearly never) contact that Moderator privately to have a civilized discussion about the situation. It always turns into this type of thread. And the people who start these threads have never met the person they are complaining about, and nearly never know anything about them.

Also shockingly, there is no guideline or mention in the FAQ about reporting moderators, making comments or complaints, nor is there any simple way for newer members to tell who is higher up on the mod food chain. I can see how people might be confused trying to figure out the difference between an admin and a mod, a mod vs. mod alumni, etc.

It's much easier to just start a thread and flame on. It's also clear to see that threads such as these get a more immediate response from mods and other users with similar gripes and/or cheerleading than sending a formal complaint type of PM to a single mod.

So if you guys want this stuff kept off the board then consider improving the current (non-existent) system. Add a section to the Barf FAQ, give us a who's who or an org chart for the mods, shut down threads like this immediately and take the discussion to PM's before it turns into three pages of flame fodder.


P.S. For the record I am a fan of Enchanter and I also acknowledge that his mod style is to not put up with any bullshit from new or seasoned users.
