Heads up Moderators...

[Dragongirl]

why? what makes a person want to put someone who voluntarilly spends their time trying to make the site better for all of us on their ignore list?

do oyu think it would be better if people did not recieve warnings if they crossed hte line, then got banned without ever seeing a friendly reminder?

i have to wonder what would make someone come here and say such.

There are MODERATORS then there are moderators. I recently had a run in with one of the forum mods not one of the major board mods, and truly wished I could have ignored the person, and no I was not in this person's forum and only wanted to ignore this person's personal non mod posts.

odd, i haven't even been on here a year yet, but i have spent a good amount of time perusing the boards, and i never noticed that some moderators got capital letters and some not.

poke you know what I meant. Some people have been made moderators of specific forums. Then there are whole boards moderators. And just because someone is a moderator does not mean they should be able to insult people when posting their opinion, in non mod mode. Not going to say any more on it, the board mods know what happened. Just wish I could have put this person on ignore.

Piratecat:

As for replying to you in email, seriously why? Is not the purpose of Meta to discuss the act of posting on the boards? Just asking a genuine question.

Your request for email honestly appeared as is you were making an attempt at what I was being (wrongly IMO) accused of; publicly taking shots at someone's character before having the thread or topic closed.

I'm not presuming to know your intentions, but it appeared very hypocritical, IMO.

I wasn't "furious" with the post I responded to on the other thread, and I never sat down and "calculated" how I could "deceive" anyone. I was annoyed, yes, and let the guy know it in an admittedly condescending fashion, and yes if I had to do it again would have taken a different approach. My "heads up" here was probably more my conscience realizing I'd crossed the line than anything else.

Should a similar situation ever arise again, I'll take your suggestions to heart. For the record, I genuinely apologize for any wrongdoing. And I appreciate that you left this thread open for discussion.

IANAM (I am not a Moderator), but...

For one thing, that's the general policy - if you don't like or understand the closure or editing of a thread, you take it up with the moderators in e-mail, rather than in the open forums. P-cat's request for e-mail was merely a request for you to follow the general policies of the message boards.

Why is this the policy? Among many reasons - specifically to avoid looking like you are publicly taking shots at anyone. If you take it into a private arena, you can learn all you need to know without ever having to worry about your ego in public.

It also means that the discussion doesn't create polarization and friction between other board members and/or moderators. If it's in private, you don't have people unrelated to the issue taking sides.
