re: Moderators Discussion Thread [updated]

I don't get why some mod's start posting in the thread asking what everyone thinks they should vote!? It only creates MORE drama! Doesn't it make more sense to just use your own common sense and vote one way or the other? Who cares what other people in the thread think?

Quoting lolajessup:“ in the thread? i would never post in the threads what i voted. if someone asked in here what we thought ... [snip!] ... then i would tell them what i did and why. other than that it is pretty much pointless to tell people what you voted.”

Yeah, that makes sense. But a lot of people are posting it in the thread they are modding.

Quoting *Devildog's Wifey*:“ They are randomly chosenbya person'scontributions to the site... Go look at Mara's topic list and you'll find the thread about it.”

If you were chosen it would have the link next to the "quote" button right? it said it on there before for everyone, now it doesn't.. it only says it on there for some people. hmph..

  The whole point is using your own common sense, but some people seem not to have any.

Quoting Pretentious Academic:“ I have a suggestion. I've noticed when OPs flag a post for a particular posterto be hidden from view, ... [snip!] ... still have to look back to verify, having some context for what we might be looking for would streamline the process somewhat.”

yeah like they should have a good reason to need someting blocked. like the last one all she said was shut up already, when the OP was the one making the problems, not the girl who got flagged for hiding.

Or they can't just put their big girl panties on and make up their own minds. They have to get "approval" from everyone first.

No, anyone can moderate their OWN topics that they posted... By clicking moderate and having it sent to the community mods. The community mods are the ones chosen randomly by the computer system.

Yeah, is this 6th grade or what?!?

yeah very true. I don't think you should be a MOD if you are goign to abuse it and create more drama.

Quoting *Devildog's Wifey*:“ NO, there is nothing that says what each mod voted. And shouldn't be. But some mods post what they voted in the thread.”

Okay...
Thanks!

Quoting *Devildog's Wifey*:“ Yeah, is this 6th grade or what?!?”

I know right?? Sheep....

Sadly a lot of the new mods don't have a whole lot of common sense.

I wish there was something to do with blatantly racists posts OTHER than simply send them to the drama corner.

I have an issue with some of the other mods being crazies.

Since the mods are randomly picked, they are flagging things they shouldn't be.
