![]() Its up to the site owners and moderators to decide if any remedy is required and what form that may take. I think the points have all been made on each side of the case now. ![]() |

1. Moderators should only serve for a fixed period of time, maybe a year. Then they should step down or take a long break. Maybe this happens already? I think after a while the pressure builds on anyone in a 'leadership' position. This could keep people from burning out and also gives an opportunity for others to be moderators. 2. Ask for some newbies and/or lurkers to volunteer to be moderators. There might be people out there with great moderating skills who just don't like to post very much. Those would actually be the best moderators 3. Regarding the response to the horse's ass picture: while it is probably true that 'something' needed to be done if several people started posting the pic in their signature, the last thing that should have been done is something heavy-handed. Why not just go to the source and say "okay, I obviously hit a nerve here, how can we work this out". Moderating requires negotiation. 4. Don't use moderator privileges/authority to get something for yourself. The purpose of being a moderator is to make the board a good environment for the group. I think it was a mistake for a moderator to ask a member to remove a picture just because she as moderator has to look at every post. Moderators should ask/tell members to do things out of concern for the the overall environment. 5. This is the hardest one, but check yourself to make sure you're not letting power/authority get to your head. Everyone is guilty of this at times. Several years ago, I helped organize a union at my workplace --a direct attack on power. Within a year, the union members who got into a leadership position started acting just like the managers we had unionized against. I think it is human nature to be controlling and use authority against others even when we don't realize it. I'm not saying all moderators do this here, but I've seen it happen a few times since I've been here. |
