It seems the actions were taken by a moderator rather than allowing community flagging to take it’s course. As the notifications I received hit within minutes of the original post, which would suggest that a moderator took action rather than 3 or whatever quantity of flags required for community hiding.
In my posts I pointed out the behavior of @MrsMoose’s constant questioning, for which she has filled numerous threads with questions that have common and known answers and many of which she had already received answers for in other threads. I also thanked members like @Tapper and @Scott_Blevins for their work and patience with these endless questions and responses.
I tried to keep a affable tone to my statements not resorting to cussing or overly negative examples, but instead pointing to light hearted comics to illustrate the behavior and thanking those that have given so much of their time to support the running of our space.
I would just like to know if there is a check or balance to make sure that I’m not being targeted by one or more moderators for behavior allowed to others but not allowed to myself. I ask this, because I’ve had other’s question me with statements of, “Who is targeting your posts on TALK?”
Thanks Tom,
I’m with you. Though I have developed a thicker skin to these things given their commonality to me. Just found it concerning given the other also sharing your views asking me those questions.
That was a poorly written and even worse applied rule that was removed thankfully.
I wasn’t hurt or offended by @MrsMoose’s comments and there are many far worse than her’s that are not even flagged or hidden on our forums. That said, I do appreciate you, @pendragyn for pointing out the disparity in actions against me vs other members. It is a concern of mine and has gone on for far too long in this group. I’m working to try and illustrate this in a manner that is constructive for the group, as well as documenting a path for others that feel the same.
For me, I want our TALK forums to be Forgiving or behavior rather than Accusatory. I seemed to of stepped foul in another thread and had @Edenblue instantly calling for BOD action against me for at worst poor humor. If we only use Nuclear options to deal with all issues, we don’t leave room to come together. Instead we build a community of Us and Them, and we have to remove Them before they remove Us.
This is incorrect- it still exists. They had us change how it was used and consequences, but these rules do still exist.
It’s no longer three strikes, but there are still consequences for bad behavior on talk
It was flagged and hidden but she wasn’t personally attacking anyone or posting about body parts.
You don’t get banned just because your stuff is hidden.
I’m also not the only moderator and it takes more than one of us to discipline someone- hence I called on the board and freddy earlier.
The first part, yes. Uncalled for. Got flagged. Nick posted about breasts and also only got flagged. By all means you can take it to the board if you have complaints about my moderation. Again, it takes multiple moderators to discipline any one person and the bells didnt ring. Community moderation is a better way to handle these and has been working just fine.
I was given permission to mute Nick today based on his actions. I didnt. It works both ways. Believe me, I don’t know most of you on talk from your talk handle, and dont have a vested interest in it other than making sure no one is doing really bad stuff.
I cant help it if the whole world flags certain people. That’s the thing about community moderation.
