Actually, it's a matter of perception, I ran a very popular board for over 10 years and had many moderators, but I was very hands on, we had rules etc, however there are times when ones mindset gets to a point of there authority is the end all be all and what was done was done and if you didn't like it too bad. Well, they did stay in that position long! There has to be rules and structure, but there also has to be some checks and balances as well and there should always be and understanding that some things just are on the edge of going overboard. There are other sections here that I have been checking in on as 1 particular individual is going way out there and nothing has happened to that individual, so it's not always a level playing field and there are times where some decisions are over the top, but the sad fact is, you have no latitude to do anything about it, it's those good ole TOS that gets you every time! As humans we are going to make mistakes, have a transgression here and there and there are those that just let things go straight to their head for whatever reason, human nature, gotta love it, NOT! But what can you do, like it or leave it is about as good as it gets, or have the decision made for you regardless of the circumstances, I mean, look at what is going on all around us everyday, seems to seep in everywhere, no place is sacred anymore.![]()
And that's all complicated by the sheer size of this site. The mods have a LOT of acreage to cover. I can also understand why they don't have the time to hold people's hands thru every action and can come off as curt and dismissive.
I also modded a site. Much smaller than this, thank God.
