Re: PPCGeeks boycott??

It definitely came out wrong. What you actually talk about is your business, the fact that you actually discuss it is more general knowledge. I would not expect you to post the info that you talk about on a specific user but saying that decisions are made by more than one mod is worthy of users knowing.

Moderators should be held just as accountable for their actions as the standard user. They may be less likely to break certain rules but are you saying they should be allowed to do it? I think not. A mod is nothing special, they were once a user and are now chosen to volunteer their time to help make the forums better. If they are making the forums worse, either by posts, abusing power, not using power etc. They should be held just as accountable. I have seen mods loose their job before, they are not invincible and some take the position too far. No one at this site seems to have that problem but I would argue that some mods are more strict than others. Having set rules for users and set punishments might help this. Also making sure that mods follow their rules from the admin is crucial. Feedback from the admin should be often, whether it be good job, or this could have been done better. That would help even out some of the discrepancies between mods.

Nothing I have seen is really a big deal but it is slightly frustrating when one mod tells you something is ok, by leaving it open. And another mod comes and closes it later. Just annoying, nothing we can't all deal with.
