Laying Down The Law (READ)

This is a bit fuzzy. First, there certainly is
a right to ban the obvious spammer. But,
there are other things which can be done
to really damage the site. Still, it has to
be something so obviously threatening to
warrant such action by a mod.

You were fine. I do better work out here,
trying to keep them honest.

the boy de-adminned me because mr.mark told him to.

Uhm, to protect the site from REAL threats?
But yes, the mods do have some responsibilities,
it's just supposed to be a very light touch, as Alex
has been burned by bad decisions by mods before,
AFAIK



You know, I'd pretty much agree that this is
a good policy (though the execution was a bit
arrogant for my tastes), but for the fact that the
site owner has expressly told the mods NOT to engage
in such. Now, if this policy has changed, if the mods are
working as a good unit, with utmost trust and respect for
one another, and these decisions are carefully weighed,
and written, so as to cause LESS trouble than the problems
they seek to eliminate, it might just work.

However, I think that Alex has had some experience here
which has led him to believe that aspies simply don't like such
authority, and intrinsically rebel against it. Oh, not all - but
enough that reasonable liberties should be allowed. Again,
maybe I'm being conceited in thinking that cleverly worded
statements could defuse situations better - but do remember
that the mods are neither paid, nor selected for any particular
talent in such matters. So, it is no wonder that sometimes their
wording is such to anger - and not in the correct manner.

quatermass told me to shut up once.

I don't like people using authority and bully boy tactics on me either but still can't see anything objectionable in what Quatermass has posted here.

i'm not angry with quatermass, only alex and mr.mark. when will this love triangle end?

He tells me that kind of s**t regularly, ESPECIALLY when
I'm complaining about misuse of power issues. I find this
(at least) more honest than the general attitude of personal
attacks which another mod here has resorted to. But, hey,
there's a cost to being right.

You know, I understand your problem with
Mr. Mark, but he earned a lot of my respect
when he admitted that he was wrong.

alex owes us all an apology.

Why?

I don't know. What exactly has he done?

being mr.grumpy pants.

Is he studying? Maybe he has an exam coming up.

I think he does have Uni.

Coping with studies, assignments and exams is notorious for making people grumpy.
