I was mostly curious to know how people on this board would feel about me being a moderator, not that a successful poll would mean a job offer. I even appreciate the people who think it would be a bad idea saying so. I can definitely see why they would feel that way. Does a moderator have to be fair? I don't really see that as the main job fuction. People seem to think of a successful moderator as a person who would treat them fairly, not so much would the person treat the forum fairly. A moderator has to have the success of the forum in mind above all. The best moderator is the one who no one knows is moderating. Almost all of the moderators here have clashed with members. Surely those members don't feel like they were treated fairly. I have seen myself plently of occasions where the moderators have mishandled situtations and sunk into the muck themselves. No one is perfect! What you want in a moderator isn't fairness exactly, it's a peson who can see the bigger picture and can deflect the direction of things in a way that steers the flow back into place that best serves the interest of the forum. They say people can't change, but that's bullshit, people change all the time. I'm quite certain that all of the current moderators are not the same as they were when they were just members. Oh well, it would have been interesting I think. This sounds like what you have been accusing other forum users of doing recently, complaining they have been "stifling" other members opinions by thinking they know better and have vested interests! Amy, you know I respect you and your views but you can't have it both ways! 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jjkopite Posted February 11, 2020 Share Posted February 11, 2020 The point is that you don't have to be a fan of any of the platforms/sites to be a good mod because CC is supposed to be a commentary on them, not a supporter, apologist or promoter of them! So in my own opinion a good mod should only be interested in the fairness and equal treatment shown on the forum to all members in the pursuit of interesting debate. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The moderators here reinforce a particular style of speech and tolerate to a point speech that goes against the grain. There’s a reason you and I haven’t been banned. Can you guess what that reason is? No need to guess, we create content that’s why. Same reason this Trump hater is allowed to exist. He is creating content. This forum is very vanilla. It’s scared of itself and because of that it allows the “right style” posters to set the tone for everyone else because it keeps the tickets at bay. It’s the happy wife happy life style of moderation. It’s easy and therefore it becomes the standard. By in large the moderators here have it very easy. The unfortunate downside is that it makes for a very plain and boring forum. I think that the moderation in this forum has taken a step back from the strict enforcement, bans, and time outs that existed say 6 months ago. Everyone recently has been able to post whatever they want regarding content and even trashing and insulting other members of the forums. The only exception as Harley pointed out is the protection of the tenants, which may be an agreement with RLC--but maybe not. In any event, knowing everything about each and every tenant is not necessary for viewing them on cam. IMO the only thing we need to know in CC is what the tenants do on cam. If someone wants to follow their social medias or find out other personal things about the tenants, then that is their right, but it should be kept private. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I do know why I'm here and get away with things I post.....let me clarify, 99% of what I post needs no reinforcement and is loaded with content IMO, the other 1% at times can be a little more harsh and over the years i've spent quite a lot of time with my nose stuck in a corner, and for what? A grown ass man with his own thoughts having his nose stuck in a corner...go figger!! Yes, this forum is for those than can keep the moderators duties down to a minimum and therefore it can be very boring and plain with minimal quality posts about the tenants that would generate much more verbiage if it wasn't the way it is now. Ever since RLC scared the hell out of the admin and a few others and made them take away the photo and video postings, the forum has suffered tremendously and the hierarchy has become lazy when it comes to wanting to run the forum and encourage posters to post. I could keep going but I will refrain, i have other threads to lose my breath in. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
