What would you like to see changed?

Post on this thread.

I opted to post here instead of my home board, to avoid implying something negative about the former mod.  You and your partner on that board, IMHO, have the sensibilities DEAD ON.  I know that your partner has consulted the brethren on some of the touchier topics, and has done a remarkable job.  Frankly, I didn't expect he'd be that good, but was thrilled to see the previous one replaced.  I don't know you (met the other 2 several times), but I assume that you may help keep him grounded.  Certainly, there's some crazy shit flying over there lately, and it borders on poor taste, but we're mostly all adults and do our best to be decent.  This isn't meant as ass-kissing, but please don't change how it's handled.

of the community with ISSUES.....as an amature behavorial psychologist, I shake my head in amazement at the train wreck posts that show up every few days....

Thanks for the support, and I agree, I am very pleased with my partner .....

Yupper there.  Let's hope SLC didn't take it's toll on him.  That's barren territory for a guy in need.

Partners or co-moderators would have discussed with them they were going to start a thread about moderation style instead of leaving them out of the loop.

You didn't do this and thus started your own train wreck.

real feelings out....I have gotten PM's that a co mod of mine was extroting the girls....I forwarded it onto STAFF and was told that it had previously been mentioned, investigated and was not true....yes a co mod complained that fees were high but didn't try to get them lowered....anyway, I respectfully disagree with your definition of train wreck...

You are suppose to be a partner or co mod, which would mean discussions and stuff before running off half cock with some idea about asking on a public board "how is my moderation" You were in fact asking for input on BOTH mods when you hadn't even discussed with the other mod if they wanted that input.  That is just not courteous.

You also went onto a board and obviously hadn't been keeping up with the messages and drove right into a current train wreck.... that makes you look like an absent moderator...which in fact you basically are!

I'm not trying to stir up trouble here, but seriously, what do you feel is expected of a mod?   Just my opinion, no one elses, but if I were a co-mod, I'd welcome any comments on my style, even if solicited by another mod without my consent. To me, it would seem to foster self-improvement.           If the second paragraph is in reference to the 'Nico Incident' on the Vegas board, I'll say as a regular reader of that board, I didn't feel anything was inappropriate at all. If you follow that board for any length of time, you'll see that the main posters were operating mostly in character.   Sure, feelings certainly flared, it's an emotionally charged issue, I'd expect them to.  Personally, I don't think anyone there was out of line.      'Absent moderator',...maybe. There are ALOT of posts on this site, to expect anyone or any group for that matter to read every one of them I feel is asking alot.     Sorry if this sounds like a rant, but I think the mods here do pretty good overall.

Or at least a safe refuge for when things get out of hand.

it does get a bit wild over there sometimes, doesn't it?   Actually, I love the LV board, really good people there!
