MAN,... some of you guys really need to lean how to read and/or follow a topic..

Like i've said for like the THIRD time now.. the issue is NOT moderation..

The problem is with one guy in particular who has a mouth..

Everyone wants to come in and chime in on this topic but nobody wants to READ what we're talking about..

And SOME people need to read the responses a bit better. As I said:

If a thread is closed with a smart mouth comment, it's probably merely in response to another.

Well, Mr. Lou Maag has responded swiftly and politely to my numerous requests. I say to keep up the good work.

I second that! Lou does a damn good job. Keep it up!

Regards,
Richster.

I have had zero issues with Lou, or with any moderator here for that matter.

I don't mean to undermine your authority by opening a closed topic like this

Actually, you DID mean to undermine their authority if they already closed the thread.

...but there is no way it can be left like that.

There IS a way it can be left like that -- just let it like that and move on with your life. The topic has been discussed several times before and the site owner has made his comments. So there's really nothing more to be discussed about it. Now I hope you don't undermine their authority again when they chose this thread. Just my two cents worth.

There is no way to PM Lindsay. Look at his profile...

A couple of points.

Every forum I've ever visited has a problem with over moderation. Let me be clear in that I'm not saying that anyone in particular on this forum is doing. A lot of that is perspective anyway.

If you have a problem you should send a PM to the administrator. I and another member did that on a different forum and the administrator thanked us and got the offending moderator to change his ways. You won't win if you get in a public dispute with a moderator. If possible that is, and that seems to be a problem here in that I don't think Lindsey accepts PMs.

I've always found that the best moderators take a light hand and to most of their moderating by PM or email. People accept criticism much more readily if it's constructive and in private, not blasted over a public forum.

And the one guy in particular, is a moderator!

His apparent mouth problem you speak of, is when he is doing his duties AS a moderator! So, yes, the "issue" (I don't see one persoanlly) IS with moderation..

You're right. Lindsay doesn't accept PM's. Unless something has changed. I would rather physically email anyway.

Lou you do a great job here, and all i have to say about it keep helping a good thing going, and the rest of you winners should try and find a better site to help you find what we already have here so like it love it or hate it its a great site.

 

[W5TWX]

I've got no problems with the way Lou does his job. He's a great info provider and helps a lot of people, myself included. He has an endless supply of knowledge and is willing to chime in on a bunch of topics. He sets the record straight when it needs to be done. Like some of the others have said - if you don't like the way things are run on this forum, then take a hike and see if you can find a better site to complain and whine on. You might even try starting up your own radio forum like so many others have. I'd be willing to bet that you wouldn't have any success.

By the way Ryangassxx, your avatar looks kinda sissy like. I always heard that sissies did a lot of whinning.

"SO GET OVER IT OR SHUT UP"

My two cents............................

 

[landonjensen]

I want to ask one thing. Why does it seem Ryan ALWAYS brings up a Admin Forum Thread again after its been closed? They are always closed for a reason. I agree some are closed for stupid reasons, and even when a "question has been answered", but i still say some are closed for good causes.

 

[JoeyC]

I'll chime in a round of support for Lou and the other moderators as well. They've got a lot more restraint than I would have with some of the BS that goes on in these forums.

Lindsay has created a magnificent site, that is frequented by folks around the world. With thousands of registered users, its a small community and like any organization with a gathering of people, there must be figures of authority to keep the peace, maintain order and prevent and protect the innocent folks that are just here to have fun. In any community there must be law and order just like our cities. Without rules and laws, the bullies take over and ruin the fun for the rest of us. This chases people away from the community. What good would it do to have nothing but lawlessness on such a great website.

THANK YOU moderators for being here for the rr community and keeping things running smoothly and keeping the bullies, crybabys and troublemakers in line.

Those of you that have a problem with moderators or LOU (since Ryan seems to want to make this a personal thing) need to pack your bags and go elsewhere.

Ryan and acarsnut, you both need to learn some things about how conflict resolution is achieved on a message forum. It's not through posting 'new' threads continuing previously-closed ones, or posting in open forum to rant about "Why Was My Thread Deleted!!!!!?!1".

If peoples' feelings are hurt by the way Lou closes threads, perhaps people should both a) get thicker skin, and 2) re-evaluate how they are behaving in those threads to begin with.

No sympathy here. I wouldn't be very polite either if you kept on ranting about why I did my job and closed a thread that was out of hand.

And while we're whipping it out and saying "but I'm a webmaster/moderator/etc too", I've been using and moderating message forums since before the advent of the world wide web. In the mid 80s I was managing EchoMail forums on FidoNet and FN-technology networks.

Carry on... (or, preferably, don't)

Folks,

Lou is a "target" because he performs the most moderations actions. More moderation actions causes more attention.

I'll say it once, and say it twice, and maybe even a third time - Lou is doing his job here and I fully support his efforts.

I'm closing this thread - and if it reopens and morphs into new threads - some folks are going to take a posting vacation.
