Jabberwocky   46 #25 Posted June 25, 2010 Ive been on a few fora where there were few mods or the existing mods were crap.  It took a while but I came to the conclusion that an overmoderated forum- if this IS an overmoderated forum- is better.  Maybe the size and success of this place is exactly because of its high number of mods, the fora I mentioned with no or crap mods were lucky to get more than three posts a day and can go for months without new members joining, these rare new members usually make one or two posts before realising the kind of place they had stumbled upon and legged it elsewhere.  Crap mods are biased towards their little clique and on fora with no mods the posters moderate it themselves by forming sad little cliques and alienating everyone who doesnt fit into their little world view. Its easy to judge which type of fora does best, just go to these places and see for yourselves. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites Share this content via...

AJ sheffield   11 #29 Posted June 28, 2010 I dont even know who some of the new mods are and have never ever seen any of their posts, have they had their user names changed and is being a cat lover a prerequisite to becoming a moderator.

medusa   16 #31 Posted June 28, 2010 I think we'll stop the bun throwing right there.  I won't tolerate abuse of the moderating team, so please learn that before you find out the hard way. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites Share this content via...
