More severe moderation in update threads?

[jayrc]

free speaking forums should not be restricted to what you can and cant talk about, I'm sure Oleg knows how to cut through the crap, some of it's funny, let it be

That's a conflation of/pun on two different meanings of "moderation" I believe.

if you get annoyed by the chaff on those threads...don't read them....personally i only checkout Olegs posts then i'm done....it seems pointless reading the rest as its 80% crap.

yes thats my opinion someone else will say 30% another 50%...my point is its un-workable....there is a lot of dribble put on this forum...reason being everyone is waiting for bob...point incase the "lets fund C1 development" thread. some people just have nothing better to do with their time.

Have you tried to wade through some of the crap people post week after week, in an effort to find meaningful discussion about the topic at hand? It's ridiculous.

And no, it's not "free-speaking." It's a privately-run board. "Free speech" doesn't apply here.

Can't understand why ban hammer is not being used.

I totally agree.

I actually was shocked to learn that there even were moderators here. The standards here are so low, and moderation so pitifully ineffective that the overwhelming impression is one of anything-goes, or moderation by non English speaking Russian technical support.

Well now just think....if moderation was the way you wanted it on this board, you would now be banned lol. C'mon, isn't "pitiful" rather harsh?!

Things aren't all that bad. The latest update thread has been civil.

I would much rather put up with the occasional "punk" than "drunk with power" moderators. I've seen both on various internet board and the ones that go downhill fastest are the ones where the mods take over.

I agree completely Winny, even though I was one of the guilty parties.
I posted to calm things down before it turned into a slanging match, which seemed to work ok.

Just to be clear, this is about the update thread only..

I just think it's disrespectful to OM/1C

I have no problem with ya'll shouting at each other elsewhere.
