Birch Posted January 28, 2013 There's a thread about this in the off topic section. To repeat, I'm not interested in more control. And in this one I'd add that I'm adverse to appeals to authority of the majority too. And I think the word 'troll' is unhelpful. 2 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Apech Posted January 28, 2013 While this is true, who mods the mods? Well if you are serious .... I suppose the answer is Sean who owns the site, gives mod privs and set the general tone. It's his site and he can do with it what he wants in the end. 3 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Mark Saltveit Posted January 28, 2013 I don't see the DDJ as saying there should be no emperor, just that s/he should rule as subtly and unobtrusively as possible. Which implies that s/he does need to rule. 3 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

It's his site and he can do with it what he wants in the end. That is what I spoke to earlier. It is nice to have polls like this regarding how the board should be moderated. However, if such polls are conducted the mod team should present the results to Sean and he should be the only one to change any board rules. I have not seen Sean post in either of these two current threads regarding more limiting moderation. 2 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Vanir Thunder Dojo Tan Posted January 28, 2013 I'm confused...Isnt there a member or two who oppose gun control?I know Uma is ignoring Vmarco, so the rules dont apply to him (as a victim) or even VM (since the victim took control of the situation and didnt have to call the cops on him)...Anyone see where i am going with personal responsibility and common sense?Funny how it reflects teh political atmosphere concerning gun control so aptly...

Aetherous Posted January 28, 2013 About the TCC emperor idea...When rules are enforced sporadically, it pisses some of the people off and moderators then enter the public spotlight. When the rules and enforcement are simple and clear, it's understood and the focus is on the perpetrators rather than the moderator. So really...having as little bias as possible in enforcing rules (if there will be some) is the key to the Taoist unobtrusive government. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Birch Posted January 28, 2013 Are you too becoming an Anarchist? (I recommend it.) What makes you think I wasn't always one? Why do you reckon I've gotten so much flack;-)? It's not (just) a question of politics. Ok, back into hiding. 4 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Flolfolil Posted January 28, 2013 I tried that and it didn't work for me. If someone is shovelling BS I feel the need to let others know that what is being shovelled is BS and not honey from the bees. i think you could reconsider this strategy. i used to have the same call people out motto, because i thought that others might not understand what BS is. Trust me, i can normally tell when someones head is in their own ass. You don't need to make sure i can tell lol 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
