Attention To Moderators

[Mitch]

I have recently read posts discussing the ratings of the moderators. Ofcourse, these forums were closed, but are people not entitled to their own opinion and to record a public opinion... I believe so. A moderator or even super moderator souly exists to enforce the rules not close threads, that they may or may not like.

I have just seen one specific thread where a super moderator closed a thread, saying "stop tryinging to cause trouble". Well maybe they are trying to cause problem, but maybe they are simply trying to help the community, and the moderators are using their own opinion as an excuse to close a thread. Please note, that by posting this thread I am not trying to offend any moderators but am simply trying to prove a point.

I couldn't agree more.
Certain moderator(s?) don't understand that constractive critism exists.

Who would you appoint as a moderator then?

I Wouldnt

Maybe moderators of different sections of the forums?

I agree that moderators can be baised a little when doing they're job, closing threads that they disagree with, but this hasn't happened as much as you say. Most threads concerning the mod(s) aren't about helping, they are made for the purpose of insulting them.

Hey, the Graphics forum could do with some reworking. Agreed muchly to the basis of this thread though.

Possibly, one moderator per section, so if you do not like that certain moderator you can go elswhere. Only this would not help as your certain field or favorite section may be covered by someone that you may hate.

Another possibility is to have some form of organized power system, which is guaranteed to happen with what is going on, on these forums. Zander, I partially agree with the moderator's discression however, this is one of the main problems causing all the trouble on the graal forums. Take the forum that I was talking about in the beginning of the thread for example, he/she closed the thread because they believed it was inappropriate.

Moderators, were not hired to enforce their opinions or beliefs upon the graalian forums. They were hired strictly to enforce the rules made by the administrators of Graal and the creators of the forums, which evidently are the same people. Most likely I will continue discussing these issues, on these forums until I can grab someone's attention, and make progress.

If the moderators are doing a poor job, and you feel you have to tell someone, go bring this to the attention of the Administrators. Give them examples of the "wrong doings" from the super moderators. Don't create such threads like this.

If a moderator closes or deletes a thread, it is usually for a good reason. And if their opinion is to close the thread they have the right to.

The fact that the moderators feel unable to justify their actions in public is indicative of a very big problem. They act on impulse without considering what they do, which is bad enough, but then they refuse to let the users teach them to do better.

There is a constant assumption that nobody in the community has anything of worth to tell them.

Very true.
