Author | Topic: General Discussion Of Moderation Procedures 12.0 | |||||||||||||||||||||||||||

Just a hint: this is the right place to discuss moderation procedures and the fact that AdminBuzsaw can't understand that simply supports my contention that we should not try to hold Biblical Christians to the same standards as evolutionists. jar, there were no creationists in the discussion that got brenna suspended, so the uneven standards point is kind of a non-sequitor. and your ad-hominem against buzsaw is uncalled for. as an evilutionist you should know better

Well if anything I have said is considered an attack on the individual I sincerely apologize. My intent is simply to try to allow everyone to have an opportunity to present the best defense of their position that is possible.

there were no creationists in the discussion that got brenna suspended i agree. it was more an issue of the thing that should have been settled two years ago when percy said that forum guidelines in no way require proper capitalization. i would suggest that style complaints should be ruled off-topic unless they really, really cause inability to be read like giant fucking sparkles or navy blue text on the navy blue background.

i know admin wording is final and all -- but, uh, this is the place to dispute moderator actions. and disputing your "move it to another thread" action does belong here.

it seems to me that the title "General Discussion Of Moderation Procedures" should be open to any discussion of moderation procedure. the "12.0" part should express that this thread has been through many incarnations and is more than able to contain any number of topics of various breadths.
i'd just like to express my displeasure at moose throwing his own weight around. a discussion between admins in a moderation procedure thread shouldn't be able to be acted on by one of the admins engaged in the discussion. this isn't the first time i've seen this kind of behavior from moose, or the first time i've made this suggestion either. Edited by brennakimi, : No reason given. i'm not going to capitalize my posts, get better eyes. |

AdminPD responds to me:
quote: Here's a thought: Keep out of it. You had nothing to contribute and your comment was vague at best. Wait until an actual problem arises rather than jumping the gun. Besides, isn't that what I directly said to pbee? Twice? You're going to ding me for trying to stop what you were trying to stop? Only you are allowed to stop a thread?
quote: Um, how about being direct? "As dropping an accusation of bigotry will bring the topic to a screeching halt, even if it is only a perceived accusation, I suggest y'all let that part of the conversation go." Rrhain Thank you for your submission to Science. Your paper was reviewed by a jury of seventh graders so that they could look for balance and to allow them to make up their own minds. We are sorry to say that they found your paper "bogus," specifically describing the section on the laboratory work "boring." We regret that we will be unable to publish your work at this time.

quote: Actually, Jar most often objects when a Creationist member is suspended. His "standard message" is to say that we shouldn't suspend them because you can't expect good behavior from them the way you can from the science-minded folks. He also says that we need to allow them to display their bad behavior so that all can see the contrast between the groups. I think that you get a bee in your bonnet about certain members and that you also get punishment-happy, to echo what others here have said. Edited by nator, : No reason given.

Adminnemooseus writes: Yes, your comment does pertain to moderation procedures and thus is proper for this topic. Yet when I reply asking a simple question, "So the thread for discussing moderation procedures is not the place to discuss moderation procedures?", your response was to suspend me. You also suggested a new thread to discuss the issue I have raised, and a threat to suspend anyone discussing that issue. There was Message 90 where I asked a general question trying to get you to clarify your dictum in Message 89 and Message 92 where I simply pointed out that I try very hard never to address or attack personalities but only address messages and behavior. Can you show in either of those posts where I did not follow your dictum? However, if you will look at my posts after that I think you will find that I did NOT discuss the issue you suggested should go to a different thread. Aslan is not a Tame Lion

admin nem mentions, brenna has mentioned previously that she doesn't need/want to be scolded for not using capitalization. What other reaction can one expect from brenna aside from extreme aggravation? I imagine with enough self-justification we all could rely on "extreme aggravation" as a reason for ad hominem. But as with most things, there simply has to be some boundaries. And after two previous warnings were issued, followed by, "grow up you fucking cripple," pretty much will guarantee some kind of negative reaction.
Could she have expressed her anger better? Sure. Does her post demand a 12 hour suspension? No. A 12 hour suspension is considered very lenient. People have been suspended for much longer, and for less of an offense. I imagine for my first time ever issuing a suspension that I could have been a lot more stringent.
If anything, also suspend mark for goading. Seeing as how he's responsible for unleashing the ad hominem. Mark was issued a suspension that mirrored Brenna's.

Mark was issued a suspension that mirrored Brenna's. 3 hours after the fact by a different moderator and grudgingly, from my reading of the related post. Edited by brennakimi, : No reason given. Edited by brennakimi, : No reason given. i'm not going to capitalize my posts, get better eyes.

crimmeny give it break. We are talking about a few hour suspension. It is childish to expect a facility like this, policed with volunteer monitors that try their best, built and maintained for free, that there will be some sort of fairness and uniform application of the rules in all cases.
BTW... I can only hope this post warrants a multi-day suspension as I really need to get some work done

Fair enough, which is why I spoke out in your defense. I simply didn't think that it was a suspendable offense. If he had retaliated, then he would have been promptly suspended, and for a much longer period of time for directly circumventing the moderator request. In either case, I hope that brings some solace.

Brenna has made it clear that she is not disagreeing with the decision. She is not even asking for special treatment. She is simply questioning the equity of suspending her and not the other member. She is free to do that and is encouraged to express her distaste respectfully, as that is the reason for this thread.
