Moderation in Moderation

Recommended Posts

While the forum has grown and we know James can't possibly do all the moderation himself, there also needs to be a watchful eye on the mod's that are given full privileges.

 

I was involved in a thread where my opinion was not favored by a few (incl a mod) and now the thread has changed.

 

IMO mod's are probably best suited to those that want to remain neutral and do not easily get offended. We used to have a few of those around.

Could you please post the thread in question. Moderation is quite a difficult task.. especially trying to prevent things from going loose like it is in other boards.

 

I am against over-moderation but one bad apple can spoil the entire site in a forum based community. Hence my quick action to remove abusive posts and ban abusive members. Trading boards should attract a mature audience as well.

 

I am gradually working on features where mods can communicate better amongst themselves in order to obtain a second opinion on what to do. This will be implemented over the upcoming weeks.

Hi bf,

 

If you are referring to Swingfade, I deleted it. Why? The user is using multiple aliases to stir up personal fights with a particular member on TL. Seems like unsquashed beef from another board which is absolutely irrelevant and useless to what we cater on TL.

 

So far Ive caught 3 different aliases of swingfade using 2 different IP's. Ive banned them both and instead of banning the user only, I ran a complete ban which removes any post and pm swingfade had created. I have absolutely zero tolerance for such kindergarten behavior and if they want to behave this way I am more than happy to recommend other forums that they can participate on.

It wasn't swingfade. My own posts have been deleted. I thought I had been here long enough to get the respect of having posts remain, but since the posts in question were directed to DB, they are now magically removed.

 

IMO when you have an active poster who has exhibited very liberal uses of his moderation privileges, it's time to evaluate that person as a mod. As I asked you to set me as a mod to ONLY the candlestick corner and OEC, I'd suggest you do the same w/ others. DB has his area and is appropriate to be a mod there.

I believe those posts were all related to the argument between trader28, steve, etc...?

 

Ive removed posts from that thread that were clearly irrelevant to the thread and off topic. I had assumed they were all related somehow. Was this not the case? If so, please pm me what the situation was. Thanks.

    • Question: To those that had/have cancer, what were the signs that made you think “something is not right here” to make you go see a doctor? Answer: So, 5/25/2018, I woke up, got ready for work, and as I walked to my car, I started gagging. Like something was stuck in my throat and I needed to clear it. And then it went away.   But 10 minutes after that, I was T-boned at 40mph on the driver side door. But what made me see a doctor was while my muscles felt better and bruises were going away, the gagging still continued, I started having fevers, my neck felt swollen, I was having such a hard time breathing, and I'd have random sharp pains in my chest, but not from where the seat belt saved me.   2 weeks after the accident, I finally see an urgent care doctor, who looks me over, tells me I'm fine, but luckily requests a neck X-ray. And I ask for a chest X-ray, which he rolls his eyes but let me have (most of my pain was in the neck, so I understand).   The very next day, he calls and says “So, that chest X-ray shows there's a 4 inch mass on your heart and lungs, and your lungs have been filling up with fluid, as well as in your pericardial (heart) wall. We need you to come in tomorrow.”   Turns out the big mass, due to the accident, caused my heart and lungs to tear and fill with fluid, the swollen neck and gagging was caused by 2 metastasized tumors, and the fevers and weight loss were symptoms. Stage 4b Hodgkin's Lymphoma.   But thankfully, we went very aggressive with chemo (and had a lot of bad side effects that don't normally happen to patients), and now I'm about 16 months cancer-free. Yay lucky X-rays!

    • As a man, the reality of life is the harshest part. I don’t mind looking older or becoming weaker over time; it’s nature.   Have you ever heard that the only people who will be loved unconditionally are women and children? Men will only be loved as long as they can provide until they are no longer needed. It doesn’t matter if you already did your best to get your kids to the best school or get the best things for them, if you stop before they’re done with it, there will be no thank you. The only thing they will remember is that they have to quit school at 15, ignoring all the previous 15 years of life you provided for them. The only people who will accept you, no matter what, are your parents. But in this situation, you might be that ungrateful child.   EDIT: Wow, I didn’t think this would get so much attention.   For those who disagree, I can only say that everyone has their problem. If you don’t get the chance to face such a thing, be grateful. Remember, sometimes what you throw in the garbage is something that someone wishes ever to have.” – ElZee, Quora   Profits from free accurate cryptos signals: https://www.predictmag.com/
