| Mistress Manners: Grow Up |
Posted by
callei on Friday, December 05, 2003 - 12:11 AM PST
This one goes out to all the moderators out there. Grow the fuck up, or opt the hell out. ITs embarassing to see someone only moderate comments on thier "friends" article, and fail to do thier job on any of the others. Its embarassing to see someone, no matter what thier comments are, get twited EVERY TIME. Its embarassing to see articles get 2 scores only; a 5 and a 1. Its embarassing to have a moderator on the warned list.
Moderation isnt there for you to work out your petty greivences, needs for power nad control, or forward your political agenda. You werent asked to keep the "purity" of shmeng, or "protect" shmeng or its readers, from anything. You were asked to think about the comments in relation to the article, not play favorites, and dedicate some real time to it every day or so.
The moderator wars were both funny and expected. As was the total lull afterwards. Even this cronism and self angrandizement was expected. We had hoped that it wouldnt happen, but didnt believe that it wouldn't. We had expected it to die down or go away completely by now when you all realized that your scores are effected by what you do.
You are not immune to Karma people. Refusing to participate, not acting if you will, is still an action, and is still visable to Karma. Acting only on behalf of self and one's cronies, is visible to Karma. Trying to silence others, get back at others, or making uninvoled people pawns in your games with the other moderators is visible to Karma.

Now I understand that this has a very serious tone, however this is not applicable to me so I don't feel weird or guilty for saying this: I nominate "power nad control" to be added to Callie's typos. It's just gold.

I had a vibe, for some reason, that it'd eventually go to such struggles. This isn't an attack on shmeng, but just what I know of what one or two megalomaniacs can do to mess something big up (not singling anyone out, just going by what callei posted). It's like someone pushing down one domino to make the whole pile fall. I'm glad that someone in the Pantheon spoke out on the situation. Kudos to callei for speaking out.

I am glad this came up today... for a new member that has only been on the site a couple of weeks, who has posted thought provoking and well thought out comments has been moderated completely out into the forums... it saddened me greatly

Is Devin Karma?
Anyway: Moderators are asked to moderate down the comments that are applicable to a topic. Given the debatability of some comments, they get rated higher or lower based on the bias of the moderators themselves. hence, moderator wars. But it's not like there's a tutorial or standard guide for moderators on what exactly to kill - I mean, the obvious troll shit goes straight down the tube to rating -1 - but when somebody comes up with an incoherent rant that goes on for paragraphs, it gets moderated up to godly level simply by the opinions of moderators rather than quality of content that would otherwise bring such an ill-thought response down to mere flamebait.
I thought the idea of ratings was silly in the first place - Why not merely have senior moderators who delete actually irrelevant comments that are suggested upon by other moderators or forum watchdogs?
