Who is the administrator and why is it impossible to get in touch with them?!


Recommended Posts

mashcov you may be confusing the Administrator with a Moderator.


Whilst the Administrator has final say on content (as he created, maintains and pays for the site), the majority of the work nourishing this happy community resource is done by Moderators.


These are a group of generous, tireless and dedicated volunteers who set themselves the not unreasonable target of doing what's best for the community.


That means that certain types of behaviour are considered unacceptable, and it may be that your previously liberal use of ALL CAPITALS and aggressive use of the 'C' word means you haven't worked out where those boundaries lie.


That may account for your deleted thread, any 'investigations' you choose to indulge in will teach you nothing more than that ;-)

I'm sure he's quaking in his boots.


As others have said (but you apparently chose to ignore), he's just a guy doing this for free, he owes you zilch.

In general the moderators do so with a very light touch - posts are removed which are offensive or may be deemed libellous or sub-judice, threads are removed when they are seen as being off-topic (i.e. not really to do with ED), threads are blocked/ removed (mainly blocked) when a similar thread is already alive, threads are shifted to other boards when they are not appropriate for the board they have been posted on (typically this covers ads and announcements of events etc. on this board). Spam advertising is also removed.


Sometimes the moderators do think a thread is off topic when others (particularly the OP) don't - and they have been known to revise their decisions, but in general, as I said, they offer a very light touch.


Often, I guess, their actions are triggered by reports by other readers, but they won't remove posts/ threads (if they meet other criteria) simply because they, or someone else, disagrees with them, at least in my experience.

I'm very keen to know how you plan to investigate further though.


Are you going to use a laser beam to turn yourself in to particles, then travel the world wide web seeking answers?


Cool.

    • Every year they ask for more and every year it is an exhausting process pushing back on that for local residents and councillors. What annoys me is that at the post event consultation/ feedback this year, I specifically asked them if the rumours around applying for two weekends next year were true. They told me no. So that was a lie. Anyway, we go again.

    • Rant ahead: You're not one of them but unfortunately, there's a substrate of posters here that do very little except moan and come up with weird conspiracy theories. They're immediately highly critical of just about any change, and their initial assumption is that everyone else is a total fucking contemptible idiot. For example: don't you think that the people who run the libraries will have considered the impact of timing of reconstruction on library users? (In fact, we know they have - because they've made arrangements at other libraries to attempt to mitigate the disruption). After all, these are the people that spend their whole working week thinking about libraries and dealing with library users (and the kids especially). You don't go into the library game for the chicks and fame - so it's fair to assume that librarians are committed to public service and public access to libraries, including by kids. Likewise the built environment people (engineers, architects, construction managers, project managers, construction contractors, subcontractors or whoever is on this job) are told to minimise disruption on every job they do. The thing that occurs to us as amateurs within 30 seconds of us seeing something is probably not something a full time professional hasn't thought about! Southwark Council, the NHS, TfL, Dulwich Estate, Thames Water, Openreach - they're not SPECTRE factories filled with malevolent chaosmongers trying to persecute anyone. They're mostly filled with people who understand their job and try to do their best with what they've been given - just like all of us. Nobody is perfect or immune from challenge, and that's fair enough, but why not at least start from the assumption that there's a good reason why things have been done the way they have? Any normal person would be pleased that their busy, pretty, lively local library is getting refurbished, and will have more space and facilities for kids and teens, and will be more efficient to run and warmer in winter. But no, EDT_Forumite_752 had kids who did an exam 20 years ago, and this makes them an expert on library refurbishment who can see it's all just stuff and nonsense for the green agenda and why can't it all be put off... 😡😡😡
    • I completely misread the previous post, sorry. For some reason I thought the mini cooper was also a police vehicle, DUH.
