cate Posted June 27, 2009 Share Posted June 27, 2009 I don't have a particular personal gripe. I merely was interested to know how many there were and who they were. It seems odd to have a moderator who is a frequent poster, ie. Sean.

SeanMacGabhann Posted June 27, 2009 Share Posted June 27, 2009 I'm sorry cate but I have to ask ... why was my post smug? Link to comment https://www.eastdulwichforum.co.uk/topic/5420-older-posters-drifting-away/page/3/#findComment-218222 Share on other sites More sharing options...
Huguenot Posted June 28, 2009 Share Posted June 28, 2009 I could have been asking whether Sean was keen to know cate, or whether cate was keen to know the moderators... only the comma could have cleared it up.I was, as cate identified, wondering why cate was keen to know the moderators.I think the only forums that I know where the moderators don't also post are the professional services, as opposed to the labours of love like the EDF.

david_carnell Posted July 1, 2009 Share Posted July 1, 2009 Cate, I know who everyone is, their real names, addresses and family members breakfast habits.A small fee guarantees access to the inner circle.But in all seriousness, as Huguenot says, remaining semi-anonymous allows them to conduct moderation and comment in persona without crossover or needless accusations. It's no conspiracy. Link to comment https://www.eastdulwichforum.co.uk/topic/5420-older-posters-drifting-away/page/3/#findComment-219576 Share on other sites More sharing options...
cate Posted July 1, 2009 Share Posted July 1, 2009 David Carnell, I never said it was a conspiracy. And how can one be semi-anonymous? Only the moderators know who they are?Sean, your posting about really was a comma ever more needed came across as smug to me. I can think of more urgent cases. You're not that important, although your ego is growing to be nearly the size of a planet. What exactly happens when one is moderated? Does one get sent any semi-anonymous PM (whatever that is)?

SeanMacGabhann Posted July 1, 2009 Share Posted July 1, 2009 blimey, it was the comma statement that you thought was smug?Ok your name was quoted in the sentence, but it had nothing to do with you at all - I was having a knowing wink at Huguenot who, as anyone can tell from his posts, likes a bit of accuracy but also a bit of verbal sparring. I wasn't picking him up on a pedantic note, just pointing out (as he well knows) the vast difference in meaning that that comma meant - but it wasn't about YOU - it could have been any name at the end of that sentence. And if you weren't worried about your name but thought I was just picking him up on his grammar, you will have to trust me that I wasn't (And if I was going to do that to someone I wouldn't pick him - I know full well that he would come back with an obscure text from 1790 which permits the absence of commas when the... etc etc etc)But you do seem to have a particular beef with me and it can't be just about that comment - what gives?

Administrator Administrator Posted July 1, 2009 Administrator Share Posted July 1, 2009 When one is moderated one can be told off, warned, confined to certain areas of the forum, banned and similar.

mockney piers Posted July 1, 2009 Share Posted July 1, 2009 Moderators can only cajole, persuade and at worst hide posts. Only He who is Admin has the zappy finger of truth. Err I imagine. One of the moderators was subjected to serious harassment which resulted in a ban and a report to the police, thus anonimity is generally respected by the many forumites who may actually know who peter Parker really is.

cate Posted July 1, 2009 Share Posted July 1, 2009 So, in order not to be stalked or threatened the moderators moderate under the title Admin? But that was not the case in the past if someone was harassed. Hope the pay rate is good for the moderators!

Keef Posted July 1, 2009 Share Posted July 1, 2009 No, Admin is admin, unless admin is on holiday, in which case admin may ask a moderator to be admin for a week. The moderators moderate under their own names, but just don't shout about it.One or two of them have admitted to doing stuff on certain threads, but I can see why they don't want a very obvious public list of their names, as that would leave them very open to abuse.

mockney piers Posted July 2, 2009 Share Posted July 2, 2009 As keef says, admin is admin, moderators are merely aides - not the type available from the council - there is no pay, just a personal interest in hoping the forum remains both useful and entertaining.What would you like Cate?

cate Posted July 2, 2009 Share Posted July 2, 2009 I was only joking about the pay. Now having been made aware of harassment I think it takes a certain amount of courage to both post and moderate.

mockney piers Posted July 2, 2009 Share Posted July 2, 2009 I'm sure your expression of support is appreciated by the moderators whomsoever they may be. To be honest this forum is incredibly self regulating. The moderators have surprisingly little to do because, in effect, every regular poster is a moderator in the way they behave and request standards of behaviour (respect, courtesy, daft wittiness) of newcomers.
