I only wish the carrying out of them was.

I don't, could you elaborate?

At the risk of labouring the point:

"Regarding the moderation discussion, this has come up before and it isn't up for debate on the website"

You'd think moderators would just stop commenting thereby cutting off at least part of the debate and letting it fade away.

Firstly what a total misunderstanding to suggest I email the ed, it's not an issue it's an observation of the AB community over many years.

And Danny that doesn't surprise me.

So could you educate me.

Moderators are AB'ers first and foremost, and are as entitled to post on any thread they wish - which is what I am doing.

If you think my being a Moderator compromises my right to express an opinion, then you are mistaken.

Fine - let's debate your observation then - but first I need you to make it clear what your observation is please - ?

None so blind as they who want the final word.

Thank you for your kind words - I expect a few gainsayers are typing even as I am - you can't please everyone!

Prudie, waiting for a reply to post at 14.28?

[spathiphyllum]

My interpretation (which means nout but eh, here i am) of what Prudie is saying is - Some people go out of their way to try educate others on the Site Rules, in the hope it puts them in a good light in the moderator or editors eyes. Almost a virtue signalling type of situation.

"Mummy says we shouldn't have sweeties before dinner" kind of thing.

[spathiphyllum]

Prudie the reason andy and danny would fail to see that, would be due to their moderator position. They're conditioned to notice broken Site Rules and they're also conditioned to be in favour of those trying to endorse them. They would't see it as a brown nose situation like non moderators would.

For as long as i have been on AB, the topic of the use of moderators come up on a regular basis. Wouldn't that suggest...possibly....just possibly, there may be a flaw in the system, a system that may need reviewing?
AB is a completely different from the AB of some 10 years ago and is dwindling in posters and subscribers. I am not suggesting that this is due to the action of moderators, but that it is a contributory factor.

My suggesion, which i suggested some 8 years ago and have hinted at on many occasions since, the the function of the moderators is to identify and delete spam,trolls and illegal advertisers...PERIOD.
Contentious threads should be allowed to 2 burn themselves out as they would surely do.Disparaging remarks made by people are just life......they happen....get over it.

[Jordyboy9]

well said sandra another best answer to youXXX

[Prudie]

Exactly spath, exactly what I was saying. It wasn't even aimed at mods so why andy and danny have to get so high and mighty about it I have no idea.
