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.

Moderators are human beings whose opinions are as fragile and as susceptible to criticism and rebuttal as the opinions of others.

If a moderator thinks that his/her opinions carry more weight that regular members' opinion just because of his/her position, I strongly believe that he/she needs to chill down and back off a little bit.

No sane moderator would unjustly act because he/she felt threatened due to a rebuttal of his/her views.

Unless, he/she is being TOO EMOTIONAL about it and retaliate blindly.

Duh!

I've been watching 'House' to help me through times of stress by deflecting criticism with wit, sarcasm and a stone cold heart.

It's great if you're moderating the World Affairs section - wisecrack and kick the crap out of anyone who steps out of line, Muslim or non-Muslim. Inflicting torture is good for the soul. Well, mine at least.

Strange thing about emotions. We all enjoy having them. They are one of the things that seperate us from animals. Yet, emotions can be destructive, when allowed to run without internal guidance.

As people we begin life as letting our emotions determine our judgement. If it feels good we consider it right and repeat the act. If it causes internal pain or sadness, we stop.

Later we discover that sometimes we need to act in opposistion to our emotions. We often run into choices that will bring use great fear and pain, yet we learn we must still do them.

So it is in posting. It is always woderfull to post things that bring good feelings. But, there are times, for the sake of truth and justice, we can not let our emotions rule.

Beautifully said. indeed overly emotional ppl are suspectible to maltreament of others...

so we shudnt speak in vain...rather control our long senseless talks..into short juggemental words...which will make sense and help cut down the drama with others!

All things have their place and time. Emotions are fine when expressed in an environment appropriate for them. I'm really not a grouch all the time. I have my share of silly moments and sometimes they can be at the worse possible times. I think we all have times when we let emotions rule. We are Humans after all. We just need to try to keep the proper emotions in the proper places.

For myself the best way to keep from posting in anger, is to avoid posting my first thoughts. Type it out. let set for at least a few minutes. Have a cup of coffee. re-read it and edit as needed before posting.

No, I don't always do that, My typing errors alone verify when I have not reread before hitting the post Button.

With that said, keep in mind you are human, nobody expects you to be perfect.

I just got back from a newly closed thread about Sh Hamzah Yusuf.

I recommend members to read all the posts in that thread to learn how not to respond.

Name calling and lateral reciprocation is never good for fostering brotherhood.

In lieu of that, there are others who are just there to add fuel to fire and does not do anything except aggravate the matter.

Assumptions like, "what do wanna marry the sheik or something d*** you sound like a enviouse wife or somethin", I believe is not necessary to prove a point, come to think of it, for what purpose does it serve?

Personalized comments like, "Sounds to me like a groupie" also incites animosity and IMHO does not bring anything to the discussion except ill feelings.

Labelling, I would advise all sincere seekers of knowledge to not pay any attention to Br.***** post(s) since he falls into the ****** category.: What good does it serve?

Begin in The Name of Allah, The Most Compassionate and The Most Merciful

9 If two parties among the Believers fall into a quarrel, make ye peace between them: but if one of them transgresses beyond bounds against the other then fight ye (all) against the one that transgresses until it complies with the command of Allah; but if it complies then make peace between them with justice and be fair: for Allah loves those who are fair (and just).

10 The Believers are but a single Brotherhood: So make peace and reconciliation between your two (contending) brothers; and fear Allah, that ye may receive Mercy.

11 O ye who believe! Let not some men among you laugh at others: It may be that the (latter) are better than the (former): Nor let some women laugh at others: It may be that the (latter are better than the (former): Nor defame nor be sarcastic to each other, nor call each other by (offensive) nicknames: Ill-seeming is a name connoting wickedness, (to be used of one) after he has believed: And those who do not desist are (indeed) doing wrong.

Al Hujurat.

This islamicboard is a tool. It's not a goal.

Type. Read. Think. Re-think. Re-think. Re-read.Be Mindful of Allah. Post.
