Kunjufu - In the main I would agree with you butI have seen some really unintelligent/disrespectful threads on this forum that have gone on for paaaaaages!
It appears to be the unintelligent threads that seem to attract the most attention.
I have notdisrespected anyone on this forum, I already stated that I did not intend for this thread turn into a male bashing thing. I simply wrote my views, I return to BN because I enjoy the discussion. Howdoes one gage what is intelligent? If you thinkI am wrong, fair enough. But unintelligent??
Kunjufu, no disrespect, I know you are a moderator, but you shouldn't try to put yourself in the position of God!
PS Please don't set your wrath upon me, I was merely, once again speaking my mind!
[line]
Camile: I don't need to bring down wrath your arse....InsteadI can speak from extensive experience and knowledge of this and other sites, my opinion is therefore not influenced by the need to be Omnipotent but by facts and experience...
On thispoint.. there is no doubt in my mind that this forumneeds direction and dare i say it guidance if it is to survive and to develop into what it should be.. My experience on blacknet mark 1 & 1a, EPN, Black Voices etc etc tells me exactly where an unchecked and unmoderated board will end up... I know that for a fact!!!
Secondly I'm both qualified in profession and in experience to not only make an assessment but also to form a judgment..so in answer to your second point one CAN make a judgment on intelligent discourse, especially one this is ill prepared, ill thought out and ill concieved..
Third point the reasonI suspect you are here and continue to be here is exactly because the other moderators and I have in effect created a climate in which you felt comfortable.This isn't just about moderating behavior, it is also about ensuring the discussioncontinue to be fresh, challenging and though provoking.. If you PM Ijexa, Happiness or Fred (they all have experience of past Blacknet forums,) they will tell you that was the one thing this forum was not this time last year..this climate didn't come about by good intentions, but byaction..direct action!!!
Last point: no I cannot alwaysget it right and I'm not always rite because i'm human, that is why we have the safeguard of four MODs,not one as it used to be because i recognised this weakness in the set up,plus the admin team..who all converse with each other if one of us gets it wrong..which we do, do from time to time.. So my point here is, i'm afraid this is how its going to be for the moment, yes i may get it wrong and I'm always open to be criticism if that is the case.. but my knowledge and experience says that some editorial direction is very much needed for now..sorry!!
