It's regarding the moderators.
My thoughts about this post came when on one post, I made a remark that implied that because one member was humiliating me, a certain mod would then have to shut the thread down.
Then I got a negative rep that implied that it was my fault that that member somehow retaliated. Then I remember that I gave that particular mod a negative rep on his/her post in which he/she used the "d" word, which I assumed was unacceptable. So, maybe it was a retaliation on his/her part, but, I just let it go. Since rep points are the least of my concern.
I felt that an injustice was done, since it's a fact that if posts are humiliating and uncontrollable, the thread should either be closed down or the member reprimanded.
Truthfully, when you have a position in any forum, are you writing as a member, or as a moderator?
If someone criticizes your post, do you take it as, someone is challenging your authority as a moderator or just being truthful about your post?
I don't know the answer to that. I'm sure the mods do. |
Perhaps you are not exactly familiar with a moderator's guidelines when posting. Indeed, there is a big difference when a moderator posts, and when a regular member posts. Please do not be so niiave to think that moderators and members post alike.
What are moderators? Moderators oversee specific forums. They generally have the ability to edit and delete posts, move threads, and perform other manipulations. Becoming a moderator for a specific forum is usually rewarded to users who are particularly helpful and knowledgeable in the subject of the forum they are moderating.
