Moderators

[Netserk]

Hey Squares did you pick up on what was going on? I read the part about punching someones loved one and that's ok or is it not ok?

The moral of the story is that it doesn't matter whether or not you love or hate the one you're punching. It's still wrong.

Only a hypocrite think it's okay as long as you love them

The moral of the story <snipped>

...is (continued from the quote) ... that you may need to use your admin privilege to refresh on the (perhaps dusted) staff room materials (and the profuse backdated apologies) as to why your responder said what he said but.. may in fact still be open to a debate

true the clogging has taken a new dimension and is used now to bury and misdirect discussions.

The moderating is still **** and too driven by ego and mod-vanity.

And this in the era of forum mods proclaiming posters have more fun. Guess the new guard are not about the fun, looks like the appreciation/depreciation days are back

No fun allowed. Egostroke moderating.

Netserk, boring Hiero&Parrulo are biggest mistakes here. Fired them quickly before too late. It is late

LOL Didn't actually thought about wife-beater when I wrote that

And it wasn't about making you look bad. It was about saying that actions matters more than affection.

Now you can debate the message instead of the rhetoric.

Zam! My fav facebook foto!

You're right, I don't care about Big Harold's insults. Matter of fact, I feel in good company, being included with Netserk and parrulo! I'll put that right up there with the reborn Francois comment.

Is it just me that thinks it's a little unusual for a new poster to post over 30 times on the first day they register on the forum?

Well I think by now you know some of us categorize these users by a different name, which the mods don't like even though we kbow better.

Perhaps - but if they just "discovered" the forum, and find it interesting, I could see this happening.

On the other hand, I don't, at the moment, know who you are referring to, nor which posts. I guess I'll have to catch up with the complaint file.

Maybe so but the way the forum is going using the lemond thread and a few postings in the Sky thread then it is not a place for discussion or debate.

Catch ya later.

Harvard hu??? Maybe some of the fine folks from Lowell or North Andover should come down and show you how it is done?

Glenn - ya lost me. But if you know peeps in Lowell or elsewhere in the vicinity who know something I should benefit from? I am willing to listen. I haven't stopped learning yet, either.

Wait a sec - are you saying I should look in the Lemond thread for the 30-peat persona? Shucks, I've been living in that thread past few days.

****ing hell!! why do you keep closing thread? cant you just ****ing merge it? how ****ing hard can it be?

Yea, not sure what the issue is/was, it was going fine then lock. I mean there's obvious threads that should be locked due to the series of bans yet those stay open, one thread which is unique locked down... yea another one for muddy decisions.

 

[Afrank]

I don't see why we can't have a thread discussing a specific thing about the Ardennes. Sure that discussion could have gone in the Ardennes thread, but what's the harm in having another thread specifically about Gilbert at LBL?

 

[sittingbison]

I've reopened the LBL thread, and renamed it to Liege Bastogne Liege 2013, thought it was better than merging with the Ardennes thread. If there is a problem with that let me know.

Netserk's behaviour as a mod is crossing a line too often, in my opinion. Moderators should follow not only the rules, but the spirit of the rules. I don't think he's making any real effort to obey the spirit of the rules. Quite a bit of borderline baiting, and going pretty close to breaking rules on swearing and filter avoidance "It doesn't effing matter".

It's small change but I really think it harms the atmosphere of the whole forum when moderators behave in a manner that the forum rules strongly discourage. Not only does it lower the tone of that thread, I think other users definitely take cues on what is acceptable from the moderators. Acceptable behaviour is, to an extent, what the mods do + a little more. It becomes very different for the moderators to effectively moderate when someone can point to a mod misbehaving similarly to them, and immediately opens the usually good moderating team up to accusations of double standards.

The Sagan podium behaviour thread is one example of what I would consider going a little too far, but there are others.

 

[Netserk]

I most likely won't change the way I post, but I won't have any problem if another mod edits/deletes some of my posts and/or bans me. If I by being a mod, no longer can be a regular poster, then I'd rather stop as a mod.

The same rules that applies to others also applies to me. No more, no less IMO.

Regarding my posting style, I draw the line one place: Would I edit it out of another poster's post? If not, then I have no problem posting it, if so, then I won't post it. I understand that different mods draw the line (of what to edit/delete) different places, so if I crosses the line of other mods, I should of course be edited. I don't want any special treatment positively nor negatively.
