HOUSTON COED MODERATION IS DIFFERENT THAN THE REST OF THE SITE

So
SOULMANIKE believes putting links to the ML in private tags is a violation.
Says anyone who does it gets pointed.
It is not the case on the rest of the site is it?
What gives him the right to make up his own rules and arbitrarily enforce them?
How many folks have posted links or material from the ML in private tags and received infractions for it?

but that was not the case before icky went down. In Upset NY anyways.

Now that icky is up n running, I have no idea

but what ya saying seems

Yeah... it’s his way or the highway.
He doesn’t care that he’s the only misguided mod on the site.
Fucking egomaniac

Why didn't you RTM his PMs? Then all of modtardville could weigh in ...

I did
And I contacted admin, though I expect no response on why guidelines are not enforced equally throughout the site.

Problem is for icky, what starts in Texas if bad for users, spreads to the rest of board.

Don’t tempt me... but that’s nothing anyone is gonna want to see.

Here’s the actual charge, how can you reveal premium content in private tagged post?
YOU CANT!
That’s how this guy is making his own rules up.

as not having PA at this time, at times I can tell a private post has been made. Bit I can not read it as at this time I have no PA.



So true if you post something form ML, or ROS or any area in need of PA in the open. But its in private tags, only who can read it anyways can read it.


is the mod in question one of the silly guys that will make a post in ML with private tags ?

Kudos to SMI. I'll make sure the word gets spread board wide.

It's a very easy concept. If you try to bring info out of the ML in private tags it introduces the potential that someone will quote that material and possibly reveal it to the general public. Aside from that, if I put myself in the shoes of a member who posts something in the Men's Lounge and then find out later it was exposed to the wrong people because some member decided to take my words and transfer them outside the Men's Lounge into a Coed thread and fucked it up somehow, or it got fucked up down the line, I'm gonna be pissed the guy did that.

It's happened before. We have documented cases of it.

Warhead, thank you for starting the thread. The outcome may not have been what you wanted, but since I happened upon your thread I brought it to the whole staff who discussed it, and now the correct way, which SMI was already doing, will be implemented in every forum.

You need to understand that every forum has it's own moderation crew, many of which have never actually met each other or spoken on the phone, and all trying to interpret things the best way they can to offer the best experience to the users. We get it right a lot of times, and we fuck up a lot too, but the fuck up's get brought to light, discussed, debated over, and corrected in the long run too.

I would also like to mention this too. Warhead, don't speak in such away about a member of the mod staff again. It's insulting and disrespectful. You won't be allowed to insult or disrespect other members here either, and while SMI is a moderator, ultimately he's a member here too.

My standing deal with you is this: In exchange for showing basic human decency and respect towards the other members who participate here as you do, I will always show respect towards you and your membership here, and you will stay golden in my book. Should you not feel inclined or capable of keeping your end of the bargain for whatever reason, then I wouldn't feel obligated to keep mine.

Hopefully you and I will have a mutual agreement in that respect and choose not to go down that road. Been down it so many times it's sorta lost it's thrill....

And I'll go a step further on it and make a commitment to you and to everyone that our mod staff is getting ready to step up our game. Currently the ratio is 10,000 members for each mod on the site. I'm all over em and the members are too. I'll be the first to say that in some cases they deserve all the crap they get, but sometimes we should cut em some slack. It's a tough fucking thankless job.

Thank you, let's carry on, and hope you can see the logic on the private tags. It was pretty one-sided on how it should be enforced in the staff discussion so I'm betting you can see the rationale too.

Good day to all,

St. C

Guess that’s cleared up, things have changed without notice.
Thanks Chris.

I sorta thought it should be okay, but the logic is perfect. Don't post in there much but I wouldn't want my shit taken out of ML either. And my first thought is, what if the original poster gives the member permission to take it out in private tags, but then I realize it would be way too hard to try to manage that.

Thanks Chris for making it crystal clear. Yes trying for consistency across the country is a noble effort, but don't get your hopes up. It won't happen. I ran a Corvette board 8 years ago that got up to 350,000 members. I only had 10 moderators, not nearly as many as you, and they were full-time employees who received a paycheck. Even then, striving for consistency was my biggest challenge. It just never seemed to happen.

Anyway thanks again. Completely makes sense.

Have a great day

If an idiot doesn't know how to re-quote properly and expose ML info, then that idiot should pay with points.
