David R Posted October 20, 2008 Report Share Posted October 20, 2008 yes i could have just removed the bad posts , i did edit two post and then asked for respect for the forum. Should I or any mod have to edit every post just so the rules are not broken ? Isn't that their jobs??? If I deleted every thread I had to edit on the forums I moderate then there would hardly be any left. :roll: Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Billaney Posted October 20, 2008 Report Share Posted October 20, 2008 Isn't that their jobs??? If I deleted every thread I had to edit on the forums I moderate then there would hardly be any left. :roll: no david its not our "Job" its a role we do because we love the hobby and try and encourage other to like it too. We are not the internet police we don't see our role as such. I personally would love to just read interesting posts day after day and never have to edit a single one. But for the good of almost all we have to try and control a select few who don't care what others feel or respect others views as long as they get to say and do what they want.

David R Posted October 20, 2008 Report Share Posted October 20, 2008 no david its not our "Job" its a role we do because we love the hobby and try and encourage other to like it too. We are not the internet police we don't see our role as such. Whats the difference between "job" and "role". You are the internet police, for this forum anyway, and part of that role/job is putting people back in line when they slip up. Nobody is perfect and its easy to slightly over-step the mark in a heated discussion, especially with strict guidelines as this site has. In my experiences as a member and moderator of other forums, people here are generally very well behaved and the mods have it pretty easy, very rarely is there a need to step in and lock/edit/delete threads. As I've offered before, if the mods feel they are over-worked or are sick of the job then I'm sure there's other people who would be willing to do the job, myself included. *edit* not having a dig at you lot who run the site, we all appreciate what you do.... 8) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Billaney Posted October 20, 2008 Report Share Posted October 20, 2008 I get paid for my "Job" I do this role for nothing , that is a huge differance . Thanks for the offer David R but I think were fine for mods at the momment. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
