The moderation wanders between extreme and light-handed. After reading this from Badjoe, it appears some of the mods were anticipating attacks before they happened. That made them appear "trigger happy" because they were pulling the trigger on comments that were usually ignored. I'm sure there are a lot of people on other sites who live double-lives. I rarely comment on FR, either good or bad, on other sites because it causes nothing but trouble. I have been jumped for not defending Connie while at the same time being hammered for being nice to her. You can't win with these people.

I also think we need a rule that nothing said on a drug thread or Creation thread be bannable. Just poke them off into their own corner and let them brawl all they want.

The moderation wanders between extreme and light-handed

The perception of us wanders between us being extreme and being light-handed.

And in specific cases, there have been light-handed approaches, and in other cases, there have been heavier handed approaches. There have been some crevo threads where we have completely ignored everything. There have been some where we have pulled every flame and insult and handed out suspensions. Why? Bias, or something simpler, such as trying out different approaches to see which work best? And not just overall, but which approaches work best with which people?

The wild fluctuations you percieve- how do you square this with Jim's oversight? Do you think he doesn't notice it, doesn't care, or what? Because if that perception is reality, he is letting it happen, and that would mean he wants them to happen. Do you think that is likely?

I don't, and even if I was not in the position I am, I wouldn't.
