One of the issues here is the moderators will not address those who "take" threads in a direction that will ensure deletion. The attitude seems to be they would rather just delete the whole thread regardless of the value it serves the OP. Case in point; the mere mention on a tire thread that many of us have gotten superior service from Maxxis ST tires brings out the crazy Maxxis haters (all 3 of them) which inevitably shuts down the entire thread when the OP may have benefitted from our experience. As for the post disparaging certain kinds of people based on their appearance who were severely stereotyped by the OP that could have been written differently and survived.
I totally agree. The moderators definitely need to take a course in how to effectively moderate a public forum. Their own personal takes on a subject, many times, gets in the way of a well thought out decision on a topic. And many times, the power of being able to remove comments, posts, or threads, is just too much for them to pass up on.
Some mods are great at what they do. Others need to have that responsibility removed from them.
Careful.
After the last thread discussing moderators, a few months ago, this rule appeared:
"Attacks on moderators will not be tolerated and may result in an immediate ban. Moderators have to make difficult judgment calls, but remember, they are human. If you have a concern about a particular moderator or treatment of a post by a moderator, email websitesupport@goodsam.com.
