Being Moderated.

Post #1

Post by Taff Lafferty »

I believe the moderation on here with certain posts is often because a poster is being over sensitive and or the moderator is.

The moderation is often, i feel down to the bias of the moderator.

An example of that is recently I feel that a christian, who was moderating on a criticism of christianity thread will have a natural bias that supports the person of similar beliefs.

I also feel that this post will result in a moderator being offended and this post being over moderated by the moderators.

I'm the head honcho. If anyone feels there's a problem with any moderating decision, PM me about it.

I hear that, but that can take massive amounts of courage to disagree with a moderator, often the disagreement can lead to a problem with a ban be given, maybe this option will give you a feedback tool on how you and your moderators are doing.

This gives people the ability to discuss their issues from past experiences giving you a information you might not have been aware of.

If you're suggesting publicly discussing individual moderator actions, I'd rather not go down that route. First step should be to send a PM to the moderator. If that doesn't resolve it, then it should be escalated to me.

If it's general feedback, then discussing it publicly is fine.

How do you find out the outcome if you have used the correct procedure for reporting a post.
