Alot of valid points were raised in this thread. For example,when a train wreck is barrelling along at 90 miles an hour, a mod may post a warning, and has 60 posts to work backward through AND SEND LETTERS AS TO WHY EACH POST WAS PULLED TO EACH OFFENDING USER. Meanwhile, others are ignoring the warning, or just some are, and the mod is trying to play catch up on the thread, and all of a sudden notices they are pulling a majority of the thread as it is progressing, instead of being able to leave the new posts and the replies are still coming. If we yank the thread, does it really make sense that we should start a thread to announce it? Or to decide that if someone would have caught the thread/post when made, assume that the users would know why that post was pulled, or that it truly mattered to them if it was not a post they personally made? Or that we should remark why a post was pulled, and in actuality might as well have left the post up by the time we brought it up to justify our actions on the board? We ARE human, (no matter what some may think ) and there is a set of guidelines for the moderators to follow. Obviously, human interpretation at times may differ. I can assure you though, that I hand picked the moderators to ensure there would be no favoritism of members, and that is in effect why there are so few of them to moderate in the first place. (ICarys, thank you for your self sacrificing offer, but I think that the first time I saw Mod-spanked bitches and wrongly assumed it was directed at me, might not be positive ). If someone has a question about a particular moderation action, they can write about it to the moderator involved or myself, and will (in my case sooner or later, as soon as humanly possible, which may be a while) get an answer.No guarantees it will be a response whose outcome is liked, but hopefully will shed understanding, IF THAT USER is personally involved.
