Every day I seem to read at least one thread with someone moaning about how unfair the bad mods are giving infraction and banning people just for fun. Must be the same sort of people that complain about getting banned at adsense "for no reason". Just wanted to send out some kudos to you guys and girls. I always have the spy page running and it is amazing how fast you act when someone reports a post or thread. Congratulations to you all and keep up the good work.
Ditto. We all have lessons to learn here and it's great to see the mods and admin on top of it all. Col
Congratulations? Lessons to be learned? I can't believe some large forums manage w/o the report post feature.
I agree as well, ALL the mods here do an excellent Job! Without them this place would really be a mess.
Yeah... Kudos to all the mods and to all concerned and responsible DP members that helps the mods and report bad posts and thread as well. --Joe
Yep, i really like moderators specially C_Rob and Smyrl! but users also help in manging it like reporting posts etc Saad
I look at it like this: There are 58 thousand members here of which 23,000+ are active. Let's say 10 people bitch and complain every day. That's a 99.96% satisfaction rate. Pretty good if you ask me. 12 'staff' on 58,000 members is 4,833 members per Mod. Imagine 1 policeman per 4K football supporters, or 1 bouncer per 4K night club visitors. And those are fair comparisons in terms of heated debates. Though we never risk bodily harm (though members have had death threats). When the satisfaction rate drops below 95% I'd accept maybe we're messing up somehow.
4,833 satisfied members per mod is already a very good stat. I just see those few bitching members as ice breakers. It's fun having them every now and then. --Joe
After reading threads in Suggestions section I can imagine that. Quite right but some of them really don't like mods (ssshhh don't tell Mods, I'm one of those bad guys ). Mods are really doing a great job and I can see the quick reaction after a thread is reported. Great work
Yep! I always enjoy watching the Spy page flood with deleted posts and threads. Mods are really on top of everything.
DEATH THREATS , OMFG , that is just crazy , i think all you guys and girls do a great job of moderating this forum , ps i think shawn should be giving you danger money
Oh no, it was member to member. If you threaten us Shawn will come over with one of his 20 inch blades and a scary look on his face. We're safe.
damn there goes my idea for a ( moderator security service ) , i was thinking online store , bullet proof avatars , top secret sig links , you name it
