[QUOTE="Catatonic, post: 769956, member: 7966"] This is one of the few posts that I will make in the role of a Moderator. I can only speak for myself as there aren't many rules for Moderators other than react to complaints from other members of BC and keep an eye out as you peruse the site in your normal manner. I am always willing to explain my thoughts and my actions and so here it goes: [COLOR="#8b0000"]If a moderator throws himself into a discussion are we expected to take it and not respond in fear of getting banned?[/COLOR] I never throw myself into a discussion except as another member. If you attack me, I will probably make one reply and then "I'm out of there". I never have taken any action against another poster just because they attack me. If however, they challenge me and bring the fact that I am a Moderator and mix the two together as if the two elements are the same ... there is a good chance they will incur the "Wrath of Cheryl". [COLOR="#8b0000"]It does look like some of you guys who are in that job like to throw yourself into the debate. Is it a one sided debate at that point? [/COLOR] Similar to the first question; as is the answer. I as a Moderator have not and will not get into a discussion as a Moderator ... only as another member posting. If I do get into the Discussion as a Moderator it will be by altering or deleting the posts/thread and all communication will be via PM's. I will notify other Mods and Cheryl of the actions taken (if serious) via a Mod Forum (same one you use to report posts that violate the TOS - Triangle (Report Post) at the bottom). [COLOR="#8b0000"]Where do you draw the line?[/COLOR] I think this has been answered above. [COLOR="#8b0000"]Looks like the comment he made was pretty lame with smiley face attached?[/COLOR] It was pretty lame and the post had nothing to do with his infraction - the infraction was because of cumulative attacks against the way that Cheryl runs the site, against the way the Moderators moderate the site and one final straw that pushed Cheryl over the line - His signature which said [SIZE="5"][COLOR="teal"]"Who moderates the out of control moderator?"[/COLOR][/SIZE] The way that anything is reported is by tagging the post and the reported signature was at the bottom of that reported post ... therefore, the confusion that the post was the reason for the "Infraction" against [B]tieguy[/B]. I also support Cheryl in the actions she has taken against [B]tieguy[/B] since in the past few weeks he has tried to assume control of Brown Cafe by criticizing Cheryl and the Moderators and essentially trying to bully Cheryl in running the site based on his views and what he thinks should be allowed to be posted on the site. He normally does that through the use of the Report Post "triangle" that appears at the bottom of each post. I assume because Cheryl and the Mods were not reacting to his reports and demands that we moderate as he dictated, he decided to take it public - not good judgment on his part. Now you have both sides of the story and can make your own mind up. [/QUOTE]
