multiple mods per section

[Zeitgeist 13]

You've all been dropped from my X-mas card distribution list.


There, I finally said it.

I read this post with interest. Yeh the Vanagoners spend a lot of time in their forum. I think it is because it is comfortable in there. I try to get out of Vanagonland once in a while to site, off topic, general chat and sometimes something else draws my attention. It'd be nice to go to various non technical sites and socialize but mostly comment on a thread and it's relativity to oneself. People need to feel comfortable and "safe" visiting other forums, without the concern of being being belittled and /or attacked. I find just about all the moderators fair and non biased but I will state that there are a few who appear to abuse their privileges as moderators. All said and done, I only do Samba as this is where I feel comfortable and final frequently helpful material. It is interesting to me when others share their diverse opinions and can carry on an intelligent conversation on a subject whether they agree or not.

What I don't like is having a Moderator utilizing the "ignore" feature and yet they are free to make any comment whether offensive or otherwise.

How do you know who's a mod in what forum?

I tried looking but couldn't find that info.

I assume you're specifically asking about the Vanagon/Eurovan forum.

Sure is a lot of Vanagon/EV stuff showing up in the Site section. Perhaps this lends credence to primary point of this thread.

Again, just 'cause you've got management eyeballz roving around in the murky shadows doesn't mean you've got an effective strategy for moderating a large and growing section; a section that's really a functioning community. It's about perception management, so give that community a sense of collaborative engagement with a readily recognizable list of staff.

Monthly Breakdown:
First week Vanagons.
Second week Bugs.
Third week Ghias.
Fourth week Misc.



EDIT:
Well, now this post doesn't make sense since Glenn completely changed his post.

Originally his post said "No, it's just that time of the month."

In reality there are more than one person acting as a Moderator in any one forum. I have experienced this fact many many times. With Samba giving us access to one responsible Moderator, well we can take our problems to that person, or Everett, or Jennepher or SuperSamba to get things straightened out. It's not always the advertised Moderator who edits. I don't like that things can be edited anonymously but at least there are several other contacts that can be made. Perhaps if you've never experienced problems, then you perhaps don't realize the solutions available. IMHO

ps I make DARN SURE that I don't run out of meds

For all you guys/gals who claim to be so busy and not have enough time you sure do have alot of time on your hands, lol.

Being to busy on this site doesn't mean you're too busy to be on this site, right? I'm beginning to wonder...
