[serious] Off Topic Moderation Input - Part 2

[Jon Miller]

I am not interested in policing to make sure nothing racist is posted. And I try not to read DFG posts.

On the other hand, Apolyton is not a racist friendly site.

DFG, this is a warning to you.

Mods not bothering to read the posts they're supposed to moderate. No wonder this site is going downhill.

[loinburger]

I disagree - being a moderator shouldn't be a punishment duty, which is what it would be if they had to read every post on the site

[Nikolai]

They should try to read the most possible. Each have a set amount of subforums to see to. The OT, being big, has several of them, hopefully distributed around the time zones. If not, the owners have done a poor job. Which wouldn't be too surprising, to be honest. A moderator needs not read all posts, no one can, but he should not deliberately NOT read some posters' posts.

[loinburger]

That's not a reasonable workload for somebody who isn't even getting paid for this ****

[Lorizael]

Mods should monitor posters who receive complaints either in this thread or via the report button. Other than spambots, the only posters who are consistently mentioned via the report button are those that respond to BK.

[Hauldren Collider]

I still think DFG is over the line here.

[Nikolai]

Definitely.

jon, I beg your pardon, I've done nothing racist.


If YOUR going to give warnings...then why not to these other racist?

You really should read the posts.



So, the only way to get your attention is to snivel , cry and flood you with PM's?
Oh man! At least Ming was fair when he was moderator.

[Lorizael]

As do I.

Nobody cares what you think.
Besides, thinking looks to be hazardous to you.


Quit whining!

[Wezil]

Yeah alright, I've had enough and will join the chorus.

? I looked at DFG's recent posts, and it actually doesn't look like he meant anything racist--except for the implication that most or all black people routinely say things like "yo mama," which is pretty tame IMO. Quite possibly it's true of all the black people, and most of the other people, DFG knows. Compared to the "******s" who stole his truck, that's nothing.

[Wezil]

Past record and personal admission as such leave him little wiggle room. Matters that may be "borderline" or contestable with most posters aren't with DFG. When you see his name next to a post you know his intent.

[Elok]

So, did he say something racist beyond implying that all black people speak "Ebonics"? Because I would chalk that one up to stupidity, like most of the stuff he says. IIRC, it's much more obvious when he's being actually malicious.
