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.

While I see your point about wanting to take on the lefties, I for one do not want them here. The reason is, that I have to listen to them 24/7 in the media, and on other web sites, and this is the one safe place on earth where we can gripe, complain, and let out our frustrations as well as discuss the issues and generate activism. Who needs 'em here?

Heck, even when I don't fully agree with them. If someone posts a great reply, well thought out, well written, and insightful, I will tell them so on the thread and write them a thank you note too. :-)

Hi Pan.......thanks for the vote of confidemvce. I greatly appreciate it.

I can't think of any complaints about the Mods. I think you all have a very difficult and sometimes thankless job. I don't need to add to your load by whining!

What are you doing here?

The hoi polloi is lighting their torches and grabbing their pitchforks even as we speak. They'll be running up the hill to Frankenopardon's castle before you know it.

Asking for someone to be banned, is now NOT "? trashing"? Will wonders never cease?

It's fine and dandy, in your lexicon, is it,to attack others, even when they are NOT here,but when they fight back, that, THAT makes them evil and horrible? Thank you for showing exactly what YOU are made of. :-)

Hoi polli? On FR? Are these the real "hoi polli" or just the ones who have draped themselves in the mantel of "FR just isn't what it use to be" mantra?

Trinity_TX and nopardons were arguing with the anti-masons.

As was I.

and I get the feeling you guys tolerate him just because he's been around for years.

I get that feeling about several Freepers.

I wonder about that.

If it was so great in the "good ole days", and the format was much simpler, wouldn't it be easy to duplicate? Wouldn't there be another site that competed with it?

Or is it that the type of person that was here in the beginning no longer exists, they have evolved?

DARYL! I HAVE A COMPLAINT!

I think that there should be coffee and donuts at these things. Then I would be more inclined to attend. And to stay awake.

Naw. Don't bother.
Some cowards thought they'd
get away with slamming nopardons
behind her back.
They've left now.

Only ones who care now
are the banned losers at LP
busy publishing selected posts.
HA
Tard is SO miserable.
Fred also.
