Moderators shouldn\'t keep ignore lists
There was a thread a while ago about why mods can't be ignored. However, mods are allowed to keep an ignore list of their own. Dids, for example, maintains a 40 person ignore list. What if someone on the list needs to PM the moderator, or makes abusive comments in a thread?
Dids' ignore list - many of these people post in NVG: Note to microbob: Sorry, I didn't know where else to put this. |

Re: Moderators shouldn\'t keep ignore lists
If you use the notify moderator button, it's an email. If you post in a forum I read, I'll do a "quote" to see the post if it seems like it might require attention.
My list doesn't get in the way of my moderation at all. |

Re: Moderators shouldn\'t keep ignore lists
Thanks for responding, didn't know about the email. However, as far as I know noone on your list can send you a PM. They'll also be unaware of this if they do send you a PM; it will just appear to go unanswered.
I wasn't picking on you in particular (I'm on half of 2+2's ignore lists), but in general having moderators ignore posters seems like a bad idea. |

Re: Moderators shouldn\'t keep ignore lists
I happen to agree that mods shouldn't keep ignore lists.
However, I'm usually in the minority. I also think mods should have two accounts - a mod account and a personal account. But, whatever. |

Re: Moderators shouldn\'t keep ignore lists
I think it might be more of an issue if it was a forum with only one moderator, but even in those cases, a used could just pm cola or mat.

Re: Moderators shouldn\'t keep ignore lists
Clark,
What's your reasoning behind this? My point of view is that the only issue is that you can't PM me. I'd hope this is mitigated by the fact that my email address is public as is my AIM SN (dashboardirvin). I basically read every ignored post I see in my forums. |

Re: Moderators shouldn\'t keep ignore lists
Mods are under strict instructions never to disagree about anything in public, or we risk getting our [censoreds] chopped off, as it might cause unrest in the ranks, so I'll only say if I kept an ignore list I would expect to be called a total [censoreder] by far more than just gildwulf and his type.

Re: Moderators shouldn\'t keep ignore lists
When Diablo, Clark and Mike agree on something, I'll defere to their judgement. My ignore list is dead, long live my ignore list.
