[quote]QUOTE: Originally posted by David_Telesha I have no idea what moderators you guys are used to, but your attitudes are quite concerning.... Seems to be the same attitudes that argue with employees or police when you are asked to move off the property when you are trespassing... No one can do any wrong, and if you are corrected, *darn* the authority who is enforcing the rules. [/quote] I don't think it is so much that, as it is awareness of how inflated ego's tend to crave power. Of you ask me, anyone who really WANTS to be a moderator probably shouldn't be allowed to be one. Those with the ambition probably WANT to wield power over the heads of their peers.. And yeah, I'll confess, I'd rather not have to deal with someone who is more interested in enforcing their position of "power" than in letting ALL members enjoy themselves equally. Plus, Bergie is doing a good job the way it is. If I felt the forum needed "fixed" then I might feel different. But since I don't see that as necessary, simply empowering some one so they can pretend to be influential offers nothing that promises to enhance my forum experiance, so I'm agin it. I realize that is just one mans vote, but I don't think that I am alone... (just an example) Maybe you have never seen the problem I refer to because you are on the "inside" of those other forums? Typically one won't see the harm done by a "good ol boy" network if they are a part of it, they just think it is great fun, among close friends.... The odd man out, however, can easily feel to be made the but of a dual standard. If you find you are editing out posts by unpopular members for drifting out of strict context, but don't feel the need is that strong when your old buddy's do the same thing...then badda bing, badda bam , badda bong.....that is exactly the type of favoritism I am talking about. And we don't need that here (IMO)
