sometimes they do but more often than not a thread is edited and closes so it looks like everything was just dandy when someone was to blame, same with editing people's posts there should be a documented reason for editing and which mod edited it.

The report button is the most appreciated. But I know all to well the temptation to beat the virtual-crap out of these people. Once you're done with that though, just don't forget to hit that report buttonSun Baked said:Well we have methods of dealing with newbies ourselves...
No, they shouldn't rethink it. I can appreciate what edesign is saying. I am the owner of my own forum with membership in the thousands and moderating the forum is busy enough at it is without needing to post an explanation for everything I do (to moderate the forum).Mechcozmo said:Uh-Oh. Mods, wanna re-think edesignuk's promotion?

Don't push it. If I do or don't keep in the position I am now in it will have nothing to do with you. Don't flatter yourself.mymemory said:1 Well, I was the first one on showing and communicating my disagreement about his promotion. Edesignuk is under the microscope I have been told and the reason of his promotion was the amount of time he spend in the site (that just show up his lack of real social contact). After a few IM between some real mods and I we decided to give him the benefit of the doubt "probably his new obligation can make him grow up" I was told as well...
You, like I before I became this "mod mini", have no idea how much gets deleted and moved around here to keep things in order. There is no way we could possibly notify everyone of everything we do.On the other hand if I was a moderator I would notify to the people why they have been deleted. If you think that takes too much time (or you are too lazy) well... I think (as many people think too) you are not ready yet for your "semi mod" title.
"Immature and arrogant", "I'll see you as a regular in less than a moth is my prediction.". *must control myself*edesignuk, I'm 29 years old, I am a multimedia professional and I worked in an intelligence organization creating forecast of political and social conducts as well. In other words, I have a very good intuition and experience and I know when things start and where they are going to end and you are too immature and arrogant for the position you asked for. If you do not change I'll see you as a regular in less than a moth is my prediction.
Apparently, one never knows where the true power happens to be.Sun Baked said:As a side note: Didn't realize that mymemory was such a respected member, and had such a hand in getting edesignuk promoted.

Mr. Anderson said:We do house cleaning when we see the need. Giving an explanation isn't always the easiest or best way to handle the job. We stick to the rules fairly well and if there is an issue its taken care of. So if you notice things are *different* with a post (due to mod editiing) or that something gets closed and you don't understand why, we're sorry. Chances are the rules were abused and we do so much clean up, we can't give excuses every time.
If you're really concerned about a specific thread, just pm a mod and he should be able to give you an answer.

Hector said:at leat a note on closed threads, edesigns 1 year on thread got closed for god knows what reason and in the canon 350D XT thread some of moxie's posts look like they have been moderated, it just looks a little odd
Nermal said:You can already tell when a post has been moderated - it says 'last edited by Nermal' or whatever underneath it.
Chip NoVaMac said:And at the same point the recent smoking thread was moved to the PF.
Given rise to the new "mods", it might be nice to have a simple posting as to who moved a thread to a particular place. The recent smoking thread I thought was very civil. though edesign chimed in about the thread being watched. And soon after it was moved to PF. The Rebel XT thread was much more heated, and one sided in some respects, but remains.
Civil discourse prohibited, but blatant one-sided talk is allowed?
You know, I'm not on these forums very much, and the fact that I notice this means something. Every post I see by him annoys me. However, what annoys me more about these forums is the number of thoughtless, one-line responses by people that contribute to absolutely nothing but their post count. Why is it necessary for people to post comments like "wow, this is great, I'm gonna have to buy one of these when they come out." No one cares, and it makes it really hard to read through an entire thread before making a post or finding comments that are actually insightful. At least mymemory has something to say. Why can't mods delete all of these posts?daveL said:Does mymemmory ever contribute anything positive to a thread? I certainly can't recall any. He whines a lot. Pretty negative dude, in my opinion.
"chimed in"? People were asking for the thread to be wastelanded, rather than doing that I thought we'd give it a chance, so I simply said that we'll keep an eye on it, and see where it goes. More than fair.Chip NoVaMac said:though edesign chimed in about the thread being watched.
Hector said:i could have sworn i have seen posts that have been moderated without the lasted edited bit in them.
is that even possible to moderate with no visible marks?
i dont think either side is one sided jared is not saying nikon sucks and moxie is not saying canon sucks, they just disagree with one another because moxie tends to crap on other people's threads turning it into his own look at me i'm a photographer thread, while moxie just insults jared (which his posts should be moderated because of the personal insult IMHO) and uses an excuse of jared haveing opinions that he dose not agree with.
i know i'm rather one sided on the thread as i happen to be friends with jared, but i fail to see it any other way, please explain in more detail what you mean (it's a bit OT so maybe some other place is better to continue this)
