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

[I Am Not A Mod]

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.

Do you know what that means? It means that they will put you on ignore, won't see YOUR posts, but will hammer you anyway.

"He came on here, out of the blue and posted something dreadful to me, for no reason. Being a vet,an "old timer" here, and being at the MfJ, in no way excuses what he said. He wasn't " swarmed";he was replied to;replied to civilly, unlike his posts. You, yes YOU should be ashamed of yourself and this post. You were " called " to stand up for him and so you did. Were you also asked to insult innocent people too?"

-------------------------------------------------------------

First of all little missy, I wasn't "called" to this thread, unlike you do. Although I'm no longer a particant, I do read FR for the news and some of the comments, so I just happened to catch this one.

Secondly, you are the most insultive arrogant person on FR nowadays, and if I didn't know better, I'd swear you're real screen name is Mojo (the original forum cop).

Thirdly (a repeat), you had everything coming to you for having been consistantly arrogant, condescending, rude, and (again) insulting to many innocent posters, trolls not withstanding. You are the epitomy of the "know it all" and "hall monitor" syndrom. I've seen it for years, and it's evident in every post you don't agree with.

I'm not long for this forum, but I take a certain satisfaction that you, Mojo, Naviator, Don Morgan, CaL, Clarity and others will eventially outstay your welcome.
Enjoy your perceived power while you have it. You, also, will reside in the dustbin of Free Republic's history.
