Code of conduct

[ALF]

 

I was not personalising or defending anything - I was explaining the moderating process on this forum, Albear, and stuck to the 'Base point' from your own post:  the common misconception that the moderator was judge and jury.

 

I agree there is nothing to say how a complaint will be dealt with by the webmaster. But is that really important? The Code of Conduct was a concept born out of members' wishes for certain behaviours to be stopped.  Richard put a lot of time and effort into writing one.  The important point is that if everyone followed that code, then there would be nothing for anyone to complain about.

 

AND YOU WOULDNAE HAVE ANYTHING TO DAE ANYMARE ...IE...NAE MARE POSTS TO DELETE :P ;D ;D ;D ;D ;D ;D ;D ;D

Bruno, stop trying to justify yourself and try and take on board the principal of what I'm saying.

If everyone did nothing wrong????????? you must be perfect or worse still a born again who has little conception of the true christian ethic. It must be lovely to be so perfect and to see everyone elses imperfection.

I ask the webmaster to draw up rules for the moderators and an appeal procedure, not to beat the moderators with a stick because that is the last thing the webmaster would want to do anyway, but if there were rules then the instances where members of the forum felt aggrieved I am sure would decrease becasue perhaps the moderators would give more thought to their actions.

Sorry I'm off now until the weekend to sunny Weymouth for a stay in a caravan, by heck I know how to live!! So I will have to leave this debate.

Good Luck!

Might find this hard to believe, Alan, joined this forum for pigeon gossip, not to become a moderator. If I'm doing the delete fing I ain't getting in much pigeon gossip. And there's some on the forum who fink Moderators shouldn't join in, so if they win the day, don't fink there'll be (m)any moderators.

think moderators should be joining in all the threads and discussions and if they feel a thread is going the wrong way they should maybe post a warning , ie: if another such post is made the thread will be locked , as this gives all members a chance to curtail their postings and then after such a warning has been displayed and the posts persist then by all means lock them as a warning has been issued and then nobody can complain, same again if anything is being removed , the person whos item is being removed should be told why and who removes it, just for decency's sake although I have been told several times the moderators do not have to answer to the posting members.

the moderators only remove and lock posts and threads for safety, its the webmaster who then decides, if some think that this site is too strict, then for a experiment try puting ur deleted posts etc on another and see what happens????????

With respect, the principle here is that there is a forum Code, and the member's commitment to keep to it. On other forums, break it, and your out.

 

Without the member commiting to following the forum Code, these new processess you think are needed are just meaningless gestures. Because being part of the same Code, there won't be commitment to following these either.

Not disagreeing with you at all here Fifer but why when 1 of the mods joins in and has a laugh at something thats been posted does another mod then move or delete it???? Which has happened a few times

 

I rest ma case "it's no fair doos" unless your a moderator
