when some mods say we can't double post nor spam, how come they spam or double post?
if they become a mod, do they have a freedom to do whatever they want and break a rule? i thought it wasn't fair for the other members. they get warned for double posting a lot or spamming and when some mods do that, they dont get warned... so yeah just wanted to say that... that's rude and messed up. |

Sorry to bring it up again, but I just wanted to say that the delete button for regular members is a very bad idea. The same people who are saying that mods abuse powers now want to give every member a power like deleting posts? You think that won't be abused? I'm mostly a lurker at cb so I'm sorry if it seems like I don't have the right to speak up about this issue, but I've been following this thread and think it's really getting ridiculous. To be honest, a fair few people in here are making members look bad.
I may only lurk here, but I'm not a stranger to forums in general and this is one of the largest forums I've visited with an enormous number of members (for my experience, anyway). Giving those people the ability to delete posts simply because of ONE issue (that issue being accidental double posting) opens up the opportunity for so many more problems. Every forum has it's share of trouble makers and I've seen members at other forums make nasty or obscene posts to stir up trouble and then, after getting a few replies, delete the posts and act innocent. I've seen people at other forums delete their posts to make it look like the person who posted before and after them actually double posted when they didn't... so I honestly don't see the logic or the sense in suggesting that you be able to delete accidental posts when you already have the ability to edit and explain that it was accidental. I honestly don't think that any mod here would warn a member for accidental double posting. I've really enjoyed lurking around these forums. I come here mostly to admire the incredible Xanga skins. I have never noticed in my time here a moderator acting inappropriately in anyway. And to suggest that they have without ANY evidence whatsoever is not at all credible. I honestly feel like topics like these are meant to make the mods look bad. It's practically taunting. You bring all these members out of the woodwork to claim they've seem the mods double posting and spamming with no proof and then, when the mods are forced to defend themselves, they apologize that it may sound nasty! In my opinion, I think the staff has handled this near-attack with amazing couth. And I suppose members do have the right to question staff. Members and staff are both integral parts of a forum. You cannot have one without the other. So if members feel like they are being disrespected, that's is unfortunate and should be addressed. But address it IN PRIVATE. There are PMs, emails, instant message... there are any number of ways where you can get in touch with staff to discuss a personal issue like this. I'm sorry, but I find it appalling that someone would simply call out staff members and accuse them of things without proof. Mods work hard and they do it for nothing and things like this can be incredibly discouraging. Is every mod perfect? Of course not. But they're PEOPLE. They're not machines. They can't do everything right all the time and no one should expect that of them. And no one should expect them to have to tolerate topics like this. And yet they do for the sake of trying to resolve an issue in order to better the forums. I think the staff is doing a tremendous job in handling this and every other issue and I just wanted to give you all your due credit for that. I hope I didn't offend anyone with anything I said. I honestly didn't intend to. And again, I'm sorry if my opinion isn't warranted because I'm not a frequent poster. Callie |
