The Boss

Post by The Old Biddy »

Just wanted to say thanks to the boss for the way he runs this forum. I didn't realise what a good job he does until I joined a music forum a few weeks ago.

The admin there is ever present and the whole thing is studded with his edits and deletions.

I made a post that a lot of people found amusing, and added to...he's just deleted the lot for being off-topic.

I have now flounced off there. :lol:

So...here's to the Optom!

I suppose the world of forum moderation is full of subtle shades of grey.

I echo TOB's sentiments.

Well exactly!!

The Boss knows I love him and his approach for self moderation......... as long as we don't get nasty with each other........ :wink:

My thanks to the Boss also although I have little to no experience of other forums apart from Ciba some years ago which was dry and humourless.

I think that this is nonsense. I would request that this thread is now locked, and that the OP be removed from this forum!

This is so unexpected.... I dont even have a speech prepared.

:)

I am a member of several forums, so I had a reasonable idea on how to do things before starting this one, i.e. I learned from other people's mistakes :wink:. Also, I am big fan of people power, so my preference is for self-moderation, with me as a back-up if needed. A forum will generally reflect the effort level put in by its members, like most systems in the world I might add.

So, as much as I'd like to take the credit for it all, erm, I am only one part of the team.


ps - it could also be because I am too lazy to be heavily involved in moderation
