The newbie asks a question. Someone gives him bad advice. I correct it in my post and mine gets "randomly moderated"! That isn't acceptable. The newbie has to wait for something he needs. Not a big deal if the other poster hadn't been so wrong.

This is the "Newbie Board" chief, not the "Baby Board."

...Since they had posted twice just a short time prior I figured they would see it. I made my point & I'm sure they got it.

I agree that "random moderation" can be annoying and about as useful as pulling the 90 year old lady out of line for  "random extra security" in an airport.

...recently though I've had the edited/modified post held too. Usually I just wait it out. This time it was important. That took my patience.

You mean the 90 year old lady who is too senile to realize she is mule-ing 3 kilos of coke for some scumbag who would set his Grammy up just to pay off his drug debt?

and I agree, the Newbie poster needed to be set straight before following some very bad advice.

I will admit, back in the day I most likely would have moderated the poster of that very dangerous advice just to make sure that no future posts like that would go live without someone to correct him immediately. There has always been a problem with people on both this board and the Legal board giving out advice that they obviously were not qualified to give, but it seems like more and more posts like this seem to slip through the cracks now the board/s are mainly moderated through RAP.

...from the Newbie board to the S&P board many here are wondering huh? What?

but I guess this is as good a place for it as anywhere else, at least you know that admin heard you. What they are going to do about it might be a different matter, but you know they heard you. lol

"...it seems like more and more posts like this seem to slip through the cracks now the board/s are mainly moderated through RAP."

Are you saying there should be more BigNarc's stepping up to keep the boards in order?  Or don't you give a shit about the boards because you're still butt hurt that you're not the BiggestNarc (moderator) anymore.

What I meant was that RAP is reactive, and in the past moderators were proactive.

Under the current system posts like this "slip through the cracks" on a pretty regular basis as no one is stopping them BEFORE they go live. More wannabe mods like you will only help remove them quicker, not stop them in the first place.

I hope I typed slowly enough for you to understand this time, but somehow I doubt it.
