Quote:Not being net savy is no reason to make the massive leap from "maybe it's a problem with my browser" to "the staff are deleting my posts".I must respectfully disagree. From his point of view in light of common events he equated it with a personal attack. I have spoken with him of forum and he still holds to the attacks, but I must admit I have not spoken to him of possible browser issues on his end, or somewhere in between the signal.
Quote:It's also no reason to ignore our attempts at showing him he was wrong (Shell linked him directly to his posts, which were...low and behold, still there), and instead turn your entire profile into some rage-fest.You have a pit dont you? Please remember that from his point of view he saw it as a personal attack from someone capable of erasing his postings. I of course would not have gone on a rage such as that, but I would claim my bias of actually knowing how the webs work because of that. Whateverest has a bit of age upon him, and many in that bracket are just not that savy to the net. Being men of coding we should stretch out a hand of understanding to such people. Put him in the pit, give him some explanation of why he was there while the staff looked into fixing the problem both in code and communication. I see it from my opinion as the staff using a sledge hammer when a tack hammer would have had a much better effect.
Quote:Once again rev, you prove that you would be an utterly terrible moderator of any forum. You respect rule-breakers, and whilst you may be in your rights to do that, as the upholders of the rules, we do not have any respect for people who come here and shit all over the community.So even though I have been VERY respectful about this, you insist on insulting my inteligence and experience? I AM a moderator for my union and have saved many peoples jobs from miscommunications such as this. I have even saved the employers and foreman from charges by keeping them up to date on current laws and contractual agreements. I was also a moderator of the biggest Virginia atheists yahoo group a decade ago. I never used the ban button for anyone other than spammers. For members you use the "moderate" button. You put ALL involved parties into moderation and you stand between them as an unbiased mediator. Hopefully people shake hands and go back to being productive members of the community after the moderation.
