Moderator Term Limits

Damn every where i go on here there's drama.

CC find a new hobby... this one sux... reinvent yourself and get some revenge... fuckem

Ok grumpy gus... Have ya done something nice for someone today? I have. I thanked all the Moderators. And guess what? Felt better than what you are doing, ordering me around like I'm just a girl who wouldn't know a thing. Boys been doin' that to me forever, and as it turns out, I know quite a bit more than some of them do and I learn from those who know more than me. So again, tell me what I don't know, because yes, I like to learn and you got an audience here drawing attention to the big bad meanie moderators, and here's your opportunity to teach, hon. Someone get this man a podium, please. Please know, your area is not the only one with issues. We wouldn't have those if grown ups would police their own behaviors.

Apparently, you didn't learn anything from it before, sir. Or, ya wouldn't set yourself up for another lesson in what you believe is "condescending righteous indignation"? I do not believe the point of the board is for men to act like a**hats, gripe, complain, and demand answers they are not OWED, an answer to. Not to mention, totally disregarding the ladies as I often see happening. However, I have been wrong before, and apparently that makes me in the minority, even more so.

I don't wanna fuss and fight, but if ya need a punching bag today, have at it, hon. I'm used to gents doing this to me via the written word. Happy to do that if it relieves your anxieties about the mean moderators or something. ok?

However, I think I'm gonna start charging ECCIE for it....LOL I kid! I kid! Originally Posted by MaxiMilyen

Are you a provider that is called on to disrupt any discussions that are mildly considered anti Moderator?

Honestly, you are so transparent no further commentary on your derailing attempts will come from me, but a quick study of your history says you are an absolute last word Ho so I expect a rampling red penciled response...which I won't read..

Do you keep the quotes I copied below as a copy & paste? The phrases I've taken from a single thread you posted in and mimicked in THIS thread to insert as instructed in future threads?

You really have some challenges with self importance & being taken seriously don't you, Hon?

For anyone interested, I think you'll get the complete synopsis of what this provider believes by reading the below thread. Check out post #164 in particular on how she responds after getting a warning by the Admin in the thread.

Take care Hon, good luck in the twilight of your hoogar life. I mean that sincerely.

Enter stage right: I'd like to thank ECCIE for this site and the chance to peddle my "wares" here. I would also like to thank the Moderators here in Dallas and throughout the board. The job you volunteer for is thankless

LOL Breathe in.....real deep, now let it out

Men slamming ladies is the norm. Ya know?

Ummmm......are you overly suspicious, hon? I didn't even know there was such a thing.....LOL

Perfect

Dear Moderator, sorry for going off topic, but I am just following your lead sir. I apologize if it ain't right I do, but it's ok for the rest. Keep me posted if I and some others have a different set of rules, cause I wouldn't wanna break the rules....even if it's ok for some....ya know?

Hope your life gets better hon...

Ur good! Keep going, hon. You may or may not find lotsa stuff like that. If ya wanna know why, take a moment to consider who wrote it. Why I wrote it? How often I write the same kinda thing over n over n over n over again. It may or may not occur to you soon, but when ur tired of trying to discover what my motives are, let me know. I'm happy to answer any questions you may have. No need to speculate all kinda crazy stuff.....kewl? If ur thinking I'm all kind of in some crazy ECCIE conspiracy stuff, tell me, cause that would be just funny. Just go look at some more stuff I wrote, cause I can tell where this is headed.......I dunno what it is, but some guys just get angry/upset when they don't get it, so if ya wanna unload some more lemme know.

........My job is thankless at times too. Do ya really wonder why I would ask that folks appreciate a Mod? I get it. That's why, hon.

Seriously hon.....settle down. This place is supposed to be kinda fun. Don't ya think? No one is out to get ya, but it does get confusing if ya don't keep up. Think for yourself though.......k? If ya get frustrated, I'll be right here.....or you could just PM me, or hey, you could just go vent in the magical non exitent ML. Either way.....it's all good.....K?


Did I cover it all, folks? Think I am gonna copy n paste from now on.




Grown ups honestly shouldn't have to whine around for Mod Interference, but they start coming up with all kinda conspiracy theories when Mods step in to settle down those who have yet learned how to behave. They can't win for losing.....thankless volunteer job. Now, my biz needs to be taken care of cause stuff gets paid little or no attention concerning certain things that are important. I'm here to protect my biz, which others seem to feel their hands are tied and are unable to. Make sense! If not, please go read some more. I like to repeat myself at times, ya know? When word gets out and everyone is more settled. I'm outtie, cause to be honest, I am not thrilled to have to keep telling grown men to settle down. Heck yeah I appreciate the Mods! LOL. Police your own behaviors a bit....geez

I wonder how Yoda has the time to do any business when she is instructing the world on how to act and behave. Ever meet that person ( YODA) that has the absolute best opinion on everything on the planet.

If the hijacking whore will allow enough oxygen into the room for an on topic comment, I will answer toyz.

I have considered your question about term limits and decided I will take the devil I know over the devil I don't know.

or

We can allow the whore to make this threAD about her and give everyone an example of what happens in an unmoderated thread..............pick this one.

I've owned and operated, been the lead admin of, on the admin team of and been a moderator of several boards in my time on the glorious interwebs.

I can tell you with certainty that it's often a complete goddamn hassle to do and you will always have a variety of people who either think they can do it better or who think that nothing gets done. Sometimes they are right. Sometimes they couldn't be more wrong.

The sign of a good admin team and great mods is when you don't notice their presence and don't miss their presence at the same time. They handle things publicly only as needed and make the tough calls. They guide issues towards PM. They don't discuss discipline of one member with another. They set and keep policy up to date. They set the tone for acceptable behavior and need to try to remain impartial. However, they need to react just as much on gut instinct to shut down a situation before it gets out of hand as they need to abide by the letter of the law. Sometimes they get it wrong. And that's why there should never just be one mod.

People dislike staff when they perceive inequity. However, you'll never know just what is being done and what fires are being put out on a daily basis unless u're a mod.

Yeah, threads should stay on topic, but a judgement call needs made based on the mutual understanding of the staff. Some will rule with a heavier hand than others and be considered assholes on a power trip for using their mod powers. At the same time, others will slack on their responsibilities and not answer PM's, approve reviews or read threads.

Being a mod does mean u need to limit yourself from the community. You can't just be a regular asshole. You have to be a responsible asshole and reign in the bag of cats that are the members.

Doesn't matter if the board is about crocheting sweaters or hobbying with providers. There are rules and there are mods to enforce them. Should there be term limits? That's not for the bag of cats to decide. It's for the owner of the bag to determine. It's not a democracy.

If a mod is abusing their power or causing more problems than they are solving with their actions or inactions they should be relieved of their responsibilities. But again, that's not for the masses to decide.

My favorite boards were the ones that self policed within reason. Every once in awhile the crew needed a kick in the ass when they went too far. But at the end of the day people knew what to expect and knew what the staff expected. That let the staff focus on the other administrative tasks that need to happen to keep a forum functioning.

Very good point DH. And makes sense...its the premise of "if its not broken, don't fix it". I can see both sides of the issue, I'm just obviously closer to the forum I'm in. I'm sure there are others similar to the one I'm in, and others that are great to post in.

And as to the post whore, I didn't read the last response because I'm pretty sure I knew what it was going to say before she even wrote it. She not very original if you go read a few of her posts...noisy & wordy-yes...original, no. We have a few like her as well as I'm sure every forum has, thinking they are the last bastion for female rights...they all sound the same, trust me.

I can discuss the topic or the old whore who wants to muddy the waters.......I'm easy like that.

I live by the motto of: You get the modtards you deserve.

If you don't like the modtards in Austin, it is up to you to change that.

Of course it is a dangerous game to make that change. It should be dangerous. That is what culls the herd.

Pulling a modtards teeth is not that difficult.........just don't put your fingers near his mouth.

Just musing...but I find it kinda odd to have a one liner "Mr Wonderful" Wiz, associated with an actual "Discussion" board.

Not a fan of muddy water. I like mine crispy clean, cause "Muck"... just ain't my thing. I'd suggest a new pool boy, but maybe the filters just need changing a little more often.

Say hey to that old "flirty" cowboy for me, will ya?

I don't mind discussing you. Because, you are worth it. The muck is where the real work is done on a SHMB. Two years only gives a modtard just enough time to figure out where the old free pussy is.

Toyz, you sound much like Whimpers in his vendetta against Mokoa. Austin is an interesting place. You retards go after each other over the weirdest shit. Whatever Austin is, it is not the fault of your modtards.......and it won't change with new modtards.

Keep Austin Weird is more than an accurate city slogan ...

Not sure what you mean by the "Real" work, as most only think a Mod, moderates when folks are being rude and inappropriate, so I'm sure you understand why we might find that vague and not much of an explanation, but rather some words thrown together to make something other than a one liner. Please elaborate if it doesn't mean giving up anything that might compromise this wonderful board provided for us. I'm sure everyone is interested since you brought it up, DH.

And, I'm also not sure what you were indicating about "discovering" where someone might be? Again, I'm sure everyone would like to know your meaning behind that statement. I know I surely would. Sounded a little ominous if you read it in a certain manner, and I'm certain that was not as it was meant at all. But, I'll give you a chance to clear that up, just in case you meant something altogether different. I know folks take things I say all wrong, at times as well.
