It may seem to go against the grain a little here, but as the mods on here seem to come in for a fair chunk of criticism, i just though I`d go a little way to redress the balance.
I have been `modded` in the past (albeit not that often) and to be fair when it has been done it has served to take the heat out of a `discussion` that has become either a bit too personal or inflammatory. This has usually been done with a polite message as to the reasons, and applies to both (or all parties involved).
Like many others on here I have also posted on `The Other Site` which was conducted a little more freely with minimal moderation needed. However a sudden change of ownership means it now appears to be controlled by the school thug and his two cronies that really don`t have a clue and have ruined what was a perfectly good forum, by being rude and arrogant. I can never recall such conduct on this site by the mods, despite all the criticism rained upon them.
Consequently, I`ve withdrawn from the other place (and suspect I wont be the last). The mods on here, in my opinion, do a decent job (its one that holds no attraction for me) but as with many aspects in life people are ready to criticise but are reluctant to praise.
As usual, its only when you see how a job shouldn`t be done that you really appreciate one done properly.
Thanks guys.
