about the SE posters bitchin in this forum. In this case Taboma was taking the side against the SE complainers.
Your post was really needed, Lee, to support the Moderators. Great!!!!
The moderators have my full permission to lock and unlock any discussion in the forums. They also have my permission to delete any post that they feel are disruptive or inappropriate (including the ones in this particular forum.) And I stand by their actions and trust their judgments --as their duties and responsibilities are to look out for the best interest of the forums and its members--to maintain its peace, helpfulness, and keeping this community a constructive environment.
Its tough being in a moderator role, they constantly have to live on a double edge sword because they are damned if they lock/delete a post and they're damned if they don't.
Sure once in awhile our moderators make mistakes, but don't forget they are humans just like you and me. Our volunteer moderator work there butts off to maintain the forums and the last thing I want to hear is the complaints against them. How about showing them some appreciation for once? I personally appreciate them everyday and CNET appreciates them. Their passion for this community has gone way beyond what is expect of them and I'm grateful for their dedication and efforts to ensure that this community grows so that all walks of life can enjoy being part of.
Complaining about moderators' actions and calling those individuals out needs to stop. If you don't like the policies that are set fourth in these forums or don't like the way things are run around here in order for us to do our jobs and maintain a friendly and helpful community, there are plenty of other forums out there that you can join and be part of. So if you want to continue beinge part of this community and contribute something constructive to it, we welcome you with open arms. But if you don't have anything positive to contribute, all you simply have to do is close your browser and walk away.
Thank you.
