I'm getting the picture that Mods have lots of fires to put out on a daily basis. hmm like soccer refs. yellow card any back talk to the Ref
out comes the Red card
I wonder how the Mods keep there cool?

By the way 'm learning many new things here about running your own board.

Private e-mail = after you read it a message will appear saying this message will delete in 20 secs. Security: your eyes only

we have to remember to breath and communicate with each other, all of us need sometimes to take a step away and let others have a think too......its busy busy and can be like a rollercoaster! i like it when its peacefull and we can spend time helping members rather than go battleing.
so be compassionate and careing folk
remember its love that makes the world go around

Well there is a moderator chat where we can say ****, **** and **** a lot. Sometimes it helps, other times it doesn't. (I jest).

My recently developed guideline (for myself, but others can follow it too if they want) is that if you see a post that annoys you, this tells you immediately that you are not ready to moderate that post.

You need to resolve the annoyance first, then once that's cleared up you can proceed to moderate with the appropriate calm detachment. This avoids the alternative, which is more often than not a sudden and explosive unleashing your inner Chuck Norris moderator round-house kick to the head.

Very interesting. I've dealt with many types of technical e-mails and I'm always wondering if age has anything to do with patience?

By the way I was around when punch cards were used in many places

Why was 'Chamber' banned, if I may ask?

You can ask, but as is almost always the case we wont answer.

The reasons we dont discuss this stuff have all been stated before. We also do not wish to focus on unpleasantness more than is necessary to do our moderating.
