Rules For Moderators

[cheeky]

btw as for mods deleting posts

i have had my last two posts deleted

but fair enough because i was out of line and said what i thought of people attacking me personally
thats what mods are for.

i was tad cranky

so be it now its all cool



so this is a classic reason why the mods are in place

Volvi.
This is something we need. Not because of anything most of the mods have done. I have pretty well stayed out of this. There is a groundswell asking that there is more transparency than there is at the moment. Only because of the actions of one mod.

I'll say nothing of the floozy that can't keep her mouth shut and her one sided opinions about that mod to herself for once and let this get done.

Come on mods, you had Heidi asking, you've had me asking, you've had Bruce asking. You've had Graham asking That makes four of the longest members of this board asking for transperancy and a simple compact by the moderators holding them to account and only because one of you is far from even handed and less than unbiased.

Think about it, otherwise we wouldn't be here asking for this yet again!


Time to stand up guys.

Hi Bruce

I've been bush for a couple of days and noticed your post, and was curious. (I dont bother trying to run a lappy using bush internet and a generator )

Are you referring to the forum technical issues or the original subject? If it is the original subject, may we be privvy to what has been agreed before the thread is deleted.

I hope this will be enough to keep people happy for now if a post is deleted or modified the admin will put there name to it and pm the member in person as i did by sending checky a pm

Hi Rod,

I saw you do this the other day, and thought that it was good. Some forums usually add a comment ie "off topic" or "inappropriate content" or something along those lines. I think that you have taken a responsible approach while we work through this issue. Thanks.

Thank you very much Pete for getting us back to this point.
I'm sorry that the process didn't go to plan, but having been through this process numerous times, I'm fully aware of the dangers involved with data loss.

Unfortunately the groundbreaking few posts from last night are the ones that really mattered on this topic.
There is no way that I could rewrite the script that I posted last night but I trust that the outcome won't change.

In very brief summary for the members who will have missed it, and I do mean brief, so forgive me for any filler that is missed.
Gassick asked the question of Blackzook exactly what his issues were.

Blackzook responded in depth with a few grievances about the way that I conduct myself as a moderator on the forum. There were 3 or 4 main points.

I responded to each point as precisley as I could to those issues.
At the end of the discussion, Blackzook and I had reached agreement that this dialogue should be sufficient to allow the discussion to be closed and ultimately the topic to be deleted after an extended period of display for the members to read it.

Unfortunately those posts are now lost and it is a real shame because very great progress was made last night on those issues.

In the end, the fact that all admins now notify any member of a forum alteration either personally via a PM or as a post in a forum topic, in combination with a new feature that will possibly be available, after this upgrade, to allow some form of log display.
We are not sure how that will work but we will try.
I also agreed that some of my remarks on the forum can be too direct and I will be a bit more conservative with my posts. (not too much).

Please also be aware though, that not EVERY edit by a MOD may result in a PM.
Things like text and photo tidys are pretty obvious to the member and they should not require a PM to explain.

I hope that this post at least explains to those who missed it last night some of the outcomes.

Hi there,

Sounds like there was some progress made and some common ground reached. I think we should give it a go and see what happens.

Maybe we have an anonymous poll in a months time on the changes, and if the response is positive then we can close out the matter and in the meanwhile we can get back to riding our bikes.

Bruce, If you have anything to add about last nights events, please do.
