on this forum, admin+mods are far less apt to “police” members’ words/thots than other members. some have left because of “policing” of members. sad, but understandable.Valerie wrote:If we back up, it appears that Boot was suggesting that Robert not post thisken_sylvania wrote:I guess it's because you're the moderator that you get to tell Boot what he should and should not post???Robert wrote: Well, feel free to post what you want and stop telling me what I should and should not post.
Kind of the other way around-
It's not just moderators but most on the forum have shared when they think a particular post shouldn't be posted-
there is great tolerance of admin+mods to members’ policing. it comes at a cost.
so, when admin+mods do take a step to set some guidelines, imho, they should be respected.
earlier in this thread, Robert is taking a stance. not a daily occurrence.
he is owner, admin, moderator, he was asked to be .. (again, imho) his words should be thoughtfully considered and respected.
“policing” is a word one member used when he shared with me in PM why he was leaving.
the word fits. sad. i’m certain he is missed. he+others.
the irony being, on a forum where most would not work for a police department, a police/policing mentality is not difficult to find. (in membersip, not admin/mods.)
-just my thoughts.
