Proposed rule change

I would like to propose a rule change. If an admin is involved in posting in a thread they are not allowed to use their admin powers to delete posts, issue warnings or lock threads. This would help stop the situations where an admin who loses an argument can abuse their powers to remove the posts they personally disagree with.

Yeah. Fungus is right.

Therefore I really enjoy whenever we have some lively active people around ... like the one who posted this lovely message for us mods:

Quote:
"... is a troll, should not be a mod, my opinion will not change, do whatever you want idiots."


Looking into the mirror would help.

Please try to keep the replies on topic. The proposed change has been made to try to help improve the relationship between mods and posters. Which would therefore help improve debate in the forums.

Martin has a fair point don't you think?

Mod=Moderator

definition:

mod·er·a·tor/ˈmädəˌrātər/Noun
1. An arbitrator or mediator.
2. A presiding officer, esp. a chairman of a debate.

therefore to be a "moderator" the person in question should, by definition, remain neutral.

They "should" therefore logically, give up moderator rights on any debate they become actively "involved" in on a personal basis.

you aren't allowed to be a prosecuting or defence counsel and a judge at the same time are you?

Public or private isn't an argument against the proposed change per se.

Martin. As I see it. What happened was moderators mistake. He should have clicked the evil "censor" button on the posts starting by yours, and fill in the reason "off topic". He might eventually also close the thread, because it wasn't serving the purpose anymore anyway.

You can't avoid such situations completely.

The rule wouldn't change much. We would have internal debate and then give the person who made the mess the "green light" on cleaning of the mess that he has made.

Quoting Martin Piper
Public or private isn't an argument against the proposed change per se.


From my site it is as you can not expect one running a private site the way you want to have it. You can do proposals but than again if the changes wont happen you have to live with it.
