Default Moderating The Forums: a suggestion

The recent flurry of controversy concerned exclusively our shenanigans in this, the Politics Forum. Moderators were called in, like out-of-town marshalls [img]/images/graemlins/smile.gif[/img], to establish law and order. So I think it was opportune to post on "About The Forums" an already tried and successful set of rules for moderating discussion forums. Perhaps some of you would be interested to read and comment.

Please do not respond to this post. This post is meant only as a one-off, heads-up post --- and can be locked, for all practical purposes. Please respond, if you feel like it, to the post in the Link.

This has been a public service announcement brought to you by the communist party.

heh, was going to argue with you until I highlighted the post to copy it. Glad to see you were joking, as it seemed odd.

This forum becomes annoying when the threads turn into petty bickering between two people. The wrest1ling board I post on discourages people from posting twice in the same thread. Maybe we can do one post in a thread every 50 posts or 24 hours.

Debate is not taking place currently

2+2 as a whole would benefit if users could rate each other. That way people who arent regular posters in this forum could skip reading long diatribes by crazed lunatics while the real meat of the thread lies in PVN's analyasis towards the end I feel he'd be someone with a high rating. That way new posters that show a little intelligence would get more respect than 5,000 time posters.

This would help in the poker forums, too. People wouldnt "bet the turn, fold the river" as I usually suggest.

Did I miss something here? Did Andy Fox quit as a Moderator? I don't see his name listed anymore.

Yes, I've stepped down as a moderator, my choice.
