You quoted my post, thus, you know who I was replying to :P

Well, I did, but you did not quote mine so I had no clue whether you might have been refering to something else instead

Anyways the appeal of blogs is not to defy whatever rules you might otherwise be under, especially as you are still bound to a lot of them depending on your local jurisdiction and your hosting provider.

The appeal of blogs is to speak your mind without the threat of punishment for doing it.

She has been known to delete posts because it doesn't fit her standards of what the rules say, even though the post was completely in line.

Perhaps we should amend the Constitution of Graal so mods can only hold their station for a year or so?

And yet Moon Goddess is a good moderator by Unixmad's standards, and subsequent moderators will be chosen by the same criteria, and will enforce the same style of moderation.

Unixmad doesn't watch Darlene throwing around her rights like a wrecking ball

Moon Goddess has been a mod for long enough that someone would have managed to get Unixmad to reverse her decisions if he had not been fully supporting them, which he is.

The fact that we even get to discuss this topic shows some progress in terms of Darlene's moderation but in my opinion SHE isn't the problem when it comes to moderation, it's the fact that she defends another mod no matter how outright unjust his actions are.

I have never done that. If I defend someone, it is because I agree with them

I know, that's what I just said...

The only reason she doesn't lock this is because it would make us right. You know as well as any of us if we didn't mention her specifically, she would've locked it.

When did you start posting here?

idk if i'll use this "blogs"...gratz for the update anyways

DustyPorViva · #14 07-21-2008, 08:27 PM

Darlene has surprised me many times in supporting a topic I thought would quickly be deleted. I don't know if she lets them stay just to try to prove us wrong, or because she is sincere in her cause... but they stay.

On the other hand, seeing many of my posts disappear when I thought they were perfectly fine pisses me off :/
