You see there is a perfect example of individual interpretation Jab.
I asked you a simple question because I was interested in your views on this matter, you caused me no annoyance although you have developed the view (wrongly) that I am annoyed by your post.
I don't get annoyed by whats said on here in any respect after all its only the Internet and its not going to change my life.
This
forum is entertainment, fun and information, I may question or take to task someones view and ask for a further explanation or detail but thats it, Its never personal with me and I turn the computer off and forget whats been said or done as it has largely no further relevance to me.
I would suggest that the individual perception is always going to be a problem because you can't see my face or hear my voice to understand whether I am serious or not, the Mods have to read the entire post to gain the view as to whether the posted comment is in keeping with the thread and gauge its perceived tone and attitude towards the others, not always an easy job in my view.
Example, Coppers can develop an individual perception of how the law should be enforced and be later found by a court to be wrong in that perception and interpretation, its not supposed to happen like that but coppers are human also, mistakes happen in life.
The moderation of any
forum is always going to have an element of discretion and the occasional mistake due to individual interpretation, but you know what mistakes do happen and thats why the Mod policy allows you to contact them to explain your side if you so desire and argue that they may have indeed got it wrong.
The
forum has been a much better environment since they developed a strong
Moderation policy in my view, more relevance and less crap, also cleaned out so many of the bleep stirrers also.
If you want to crap on then write a Blog.
Also remember you have choices available to you also.
If you don't like the way this private business is
run you also don't have to come in the door and visit, it costs you nothing to visit (unless you elect to pay for an additional service) and then you are critical of how they
run their household, not very polite in my view.
I don't think they make to many mistakes overall and even if they do, so what its not personal as they more than likely don't know you from a bar of soap.
Cheers
P.S.
None of this is an attack or directed to you personally so please don't interpret it as such :-)
Just a friendly discussion between two blokes with perhaps different perceptions of the
Moderation Policy:-)
