Captain Ewok - an idea to help with moderation

[Jenn! 918]

I saw some baiting and it wasn't William. Seriously, why does no one ever call out AJ? *His* post was the bait, for a moderator no less. Clever strategy to pull a switcheroo there. You guys are unbelievable.

ETA: Mox's post was worse baiting. You guys seem to want all these rules and enforcement and consistency except when they're applied to you. Then it's all picking apart the TOS and back-and-forths with the moderators about why you didn't violate TOS. I see a lot of hypocrisy.

I didn't name the posters to avoid inflaming the respective cliques. The intention there wasn't to bait, but to merely illustrate the point that moderator decisions appear arbitrary and inconsistent to those of us "on the outside".

William probably could have done without the eyeroll emoticon, true. It's all a matter of perspective, I didn't see William's post as baiting - because I know what it's like to have people criticize you because they think they know all about what went on when they really have no idea. AJ speculated about what went on, he knows it's speculation, and he did it in order to draw in a mod to respond, hopefully by clarifying what actually went on (but that's usually not what happens because we all know that whatever happens with vj moderation is super duper top secret!).

This from you, mox: "Ladies and gentlemen, your Visa Journey moderating team." , I interpreted as snarkiness, not openly criticizing mod decisions.

And then I guess we'll get into a "well, he started it" argument.

That's part of the problem.

Huh, man? Do you mean to say that perhaps you're indecisive, or perhaps you're not... or perhaps not? Is a Sino-man an archaeological find in Bhutan? Inquiring minds want to know, yes hombre.

Think of it this way: Once you were blind, but now you can si!

that is mad corny dude.

I think a lot of whining about moderation would go away if it was more transparent. Then people wouldn't ####/u/me as much.

blind but now can si

Among those whose eyes have been opened, there's quite a si-saw battle of opinions raging -- mucho "he-si'd, she-si'd." It's hoped that the arguments won't go to seed, as with fertilizer in the garden, si'd man.
