What kind of moderation would YOU like to see on Prydwen.net?

[Satyn]

mmm yes didnt think of adopting. Or maybe could ask a female to have their baby's?

And yes Wyst has been raised well

[Cryn]

None of my criticism has been intended to be personal. I'm just having trouble adjusting. A few months back I never gave any thought to moderation on prydwen.net. Things ticked over and noone seemed to ever have much of problem. I never saw any complaints.

Between now and then somehow we moved into a situation where there is a quite active mod (you say you are not Banana, but you have moved threads and you do comment reasonably reliably if someone gets heated) and now several mini-mods (who also seem to actively patrol threads).

Somehow I've been caught by surprise. My previous relaxed attitude to posting (feeling that as long as I remained polite and sensible I could operate freely) has disappeared and I see moderator commentary and intervention everywhere I look (it seems).

Possibly it's a change for the better (I like the idea of needlessly offensive posts being removed) but it is a pretty radical shift and I suppose it'll take some getting used to. It would help if I felt I could trust all the mods to behave fairly and impartially, which at this point in time I don't, for obvious reasons.

I'm starting to think that people do not agree with me, or at least that one or more people have a very strong disagreement, because my rating drops every time I post at the moment and unfortunately for me, I don't have a wingman like Satyn nipping around rectifying the damage. I'll be subterranean rating wise if this disucssion continues

[Lieva]

you do yknow
all mods are wingmen
i activly repair negative votes if a person doesnt deserve it (and if i see it .. i tend to stay away from certain forums cuz they bore me silly) as all mods can see negative votes and positive even if you guys dont
i just spa - er post alot thats why i end up replying in heated discussions
but seriously i been ill since monday and only knew about this cuz i got a pm about it
missing my online comics too everyday cuz im too tired and i forget

Cryn has a point and he has my sympathy. As for what that means - I read it as a whooo hold on what has changed? He is only asking for mods to be moderate. In that I agree. As for the mods I lubb you - keep modding. Just chill with us too. I hate to see the sterilisation of the forums which is what seems to be happening. <hic>

[Haarewin]

personal judgement is a grey area and everyone is going to be different about it.
i voted 3, because i agree with Cryn.

[Sharkith]

and the vote is now 50/50 - which is pretty scary from my perspective. Some like to be :ankh: and some like to have :everz:

Just to add on Ankh's comment about flaming etc getting worse over the last few months:

It has been getting worse. The prydwen community isnt what it used to be 1 year back. Like it or not it is a fact that it has changed considerably. This has lead to the fact that active people have to moderate the forums cause we all know we dont want to end up like FH.

Moderators here, including me, try to do their best. I can furthermore promis you we will make mistakes (and tbh any mod action will be frowned upon by someone).

If you want to flame a mod just flame me. I think i am the one, besides prob Xest, that doesnt care that much about what some person xxx miles away thinks of me. So feel free to have a hack at me but do expect one back since OohoO had a valid point of recent mods changing their posting habbits.

No more that will happen. I will post as i did before and mod the best i can. Ofcourse keeping them seperated like have another mod mod the thread i post in (which is normally the case but will keep an eye on it). Dont like it to bad feel free too complain. Should make for interesting threads

[Aran_Thule]

I went for option 4, mainly because i dont really like all the swearing ect.

While on the subject, the censer enabled seems fine however it doesnt work on the pop up windows you get while hovering your mouse over a thread.

[Guinnessrules]

[quote="Satyn"]Lol that has nothing to do with becoming a mod, just with the sudden realisation that not everyone thought I was joking. Some ppl actually took me serious! ]
So u and me doesn't count............ :brokehear

[Ankh Morpork]

for those who hate swearing there is a censored group in which all the swear words are turned into stars. Same as joining any group. Was set up a while back

I dont hate swearing, I just thing many people seem unable to state anything without adding tons of harsh words or personal insults. And thats what bothers me...
