SDS Posted November 19, 2010 Author Share Posted November 19, 2010 Thanks for stepping up everyone. We have a pretty good list to sort through. Maybe we go with more five...

zonabb Posted November 19, 2010 Share Posted November 19, 2010 More mods won't solve the problem, it'll take them away from contributing as much as they do. Find the top 100 or 150 posters, by whatever variables that is, and start a separate invite-only board with those people and let it grow into the place this place can never be. Have one board where those who aren't going to flame, be snippy, act like idiots and generally be a menace, can go and have legit discussions. Any discursive attitudes you get cut out. There is a Red Sox board just like it for just the same reason. The attitudes here have spoiled my own attitude and how I respond! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I understand your frustration, zonabb, but who chooses the top 100-150 posters? Since this is a public forum, with rules and moderators and banishment, as a last resort, the best thing I have learned to do is just ignore the idiots. They THRIVE on ticking you off anyway. After a while, it is background noise if you do not let it bother you. Yahoo and others have ways to set up your own invitation only groups, if you need to go that route. I prefer to 'separate the wheat from the chaff' myself right here! Never let someone's poor attitude spoil yours. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Cynical Posted November 20, 2010 Share Posted November 20, 2010 More mods won't solve the problem, it'll take them away from contributing as much as they do. Actually, that's a reason why you would want more mods. Find the top 100 or 150 posters, by whatever variables that is, and start a separate invite-only board with those people and let it grow into the place this place can never be. Have one board where those who aren't going to flame, be snippy, act like idiots and generally be a menace, can go and have legit discussions. Any discursive attitudes you get cut out. There is a Red Sox board just like it for just the same reason. The attitudes here have spoiled my own attitude and how I respond! I frequent an Alabama board that is free, open to the public, and heavily moderated. Insults and discourse are not tolerated, even slightly. Yes, the mods can be heavy handed, but I can disagree with a poster and not worry about being called a 'moron', 'idiot', etc... because I do not agree with their opinion.

SDS Posted November 25, 2010 Author Share Posted November 25, 2010 Ok, we added 6 new Global Moderators. There are a few more I wanted to add, but I want to wait and see if this is enough. We had a tremendous response in this thread and by PM... The new mods are: Jack Beerball BuffaloBill Chandler#81 bartshan-83 Sisyphean Bills I could have easily added another 10, but decided to stop there for now. Hopefully this will give us a more active presence where if the tone is always set - then others can follow. We will have more guidelines to follow, so that everyone will know what is and what is no longer acceptable. Although not set in stone - the basic rule will be somewhat along the lines of - "Write your response like you are talking face to face to someone MUCH bigger than you." More to come...
