Get Yer Ya-Yas Out [FR Moderating Gripe Thread]

Posted on 03/15/2004 11:01:45 AM PST by I Am Not A Mod

Edited on 03/15/2004 11:03:07 AM PST by Lead Moderator. [history]

LM here.

It's been a while since we had a thread along these lines.

I can tell from comments I am seeing in threads, on abuse reports, and in Freepmail that some people are unhappy with various policies and their implementations by the staff here.

I've seen allegations that certain factions are picked on. I've seen allegations that the moderators have killed activism. I've heard rumors that we killed Kenny, and even that we killed the radio star. I see certain personality conflicts acting up, and know that one (or both) sides in it feel that we aren't doing what we should.

So let's open this can of worms.

This thread is for making your grievances heard. If you think something stinks or is wrong, make your case here. Back it up with facts. Let the audience at large weigh in on your evidence.

I'll read the thread. Jim will too in all likelihood. So will the other moderators. Depending upon how well you make your point, and depending on if you can convince Jim, me, the other moderators, and/or the world, maybe you can change things. And if you don't, then it might make you feel better to have vented, so it won't make this thread a total loss.

I'm not going to reply to this thread for quite a while. Rather, I am going to sit back and watch to try and get a feel for the general tenor. I encourage those who are both happy and unhappy with things to particpate in this thread.

Let's rock.

I have some Chinese pearls also.
They're beautiful.
On the reverse side of my keyboard:
Made in China.

Your pearls came from CHINA? Are you sure they aren't from JAPAN?

I was lucky... I ran into just entirely nice people long after I first signed up.

(Ironic, isn't it, that after all the complaining about people getting other people banned - as if that was possible - the only banning I've seen called for in recent memory is yours. Go freaking figure!)

I just got home from work, and started reading through this thread. Wow. Now I realize how naive and silly my little post #41 was, excerpted above.

LOL, I feel the same way about my first posts on this thread back at the beginning! Wow, were we naive or what? :-)

My daughter gets them brought
to her from a rich Chinese client.
A single stand, 8mm = $400 US.
Appraised here at 3 times the cost.
They are beautiful.
