mm3h Posted December 24, 2003 Share Posted December 24, 2003 I read through the forums and today theres alot of posts which are total BS, People having a go at mods, its totally uncalled for if you have something nasty to say to a mod or member just dont say it! I have alot of respect for the mods on Neowin, they do a excellent job keeping the site up and running in top condition but some of you like to shout abuse at them Radish? for example I seen 1 of the members threating to bring Neowin board down ITS not called for and not acceptable. So think before you say. Thanks for reading TAPNET Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

+Dick Montage Subscriber² Posted December 24, 2003 Subscriber² Share Posted December 24, 2003 Hey, I agree with some of what you say. The mods do a fantatic job, I find Neowin to be very well policed. But I disagree with "not saying it". Don't say it in a thread, don't badmouth anyone in a thread. If you have something to say to someone, PM them. If I felt a mod were acting unfairly towards me, I'd PM them and try to resolve it. I think a major problem is that some people, when argued into a corner (and arguement can be constructive) just go on the attack. But some people certainly could look at how they deal with their anger, and not shout their mouths off before thinking. I guess it's who you are. I'm a calm dude, I resolve things. Others just try to shout people down. All I can say is, I have never been banned from anything. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

-=SD=- Posted December 24, 2003 Share Posted December 24, 2003 The mods are cool here, especially the ones that post in the sports forum ;) I am a mod at another site and it can be tedious, so great work to all the mods here :) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
forster Posted December 24, 2003 Share Posted December 24, 2003 Well done to the mods, this morning (my time) was a shambles due to the aforementioned disruptive behaviour of the few spouting spam that affected all who read it. There are a lot of good posters here, but I cant help feeling lately that the IQ level of newer posters is dropping. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ritalin Posted December 24, 2003 Share Posted December 24, 2003 Agreed but really not confinced this needed another thread... I think it's a relationship thing that we respect and appreciate them as much as they respect and appreciate us.

TheDogsBed Posted December 24, 2003 Share Posted December 24, 2003 Surely you can't help but have respect for the Mods here? Have these people who don't ever been to a forum that really does have poor admin? Try :cough: a***-soft :cough: for a while then you'll see real bad Moderation. Neowin is the only forum I know of where the Mods (in almost all cases) just do their work of moving threads and closing flames almost silently and without debate. It is really refreshing. I can't even see why you would need to argue with a Mod here - they don't give any reason to warrant one. As for Radish - I'm astonished. In the few issues I've had within the forum, I've PMd him and he has always been prompt in replying and has either resolved the issue immediately or given good advice on what to do to resolve the issue. In fact, my partner and I are thinking of adopting him, once he becomes house-trained. For the disbelievers, try another forum for a month. Then you'll see just how well Neowin is moderated. It's as a professional setup as you are ever going to get. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

aco Veteran Posted December 24, 2003 Veteran Share Posted December 24, 2003 We all like praise, thanks. :p Just wanted to add that if you do not like something that a mod has done, you don't have to be silent about it. We just ask that you give the mod/administrator a PM rather than make a thread about it...rule 11 - check it out. ;) :D Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

RauL Posted December 24, 2003 Share Posted December 24, 2003 when one of my of threads or comments gets removed , I don't care that much . Although I think both sides should calm down and relax . There's been sometimes when I have felt the mods being a lil agressive . In the end we are all normal people, and we have also stress, personal problems (family,job,relation,whatever) , so I can really understand when mods go nuts after reading 1000 threads per day. But some members are just stupid... and difficult to tolerate, but like people say where I come from "Don't throw more wood to the fire" don't give em too much importance , and do what you got to do whithout giving too much details . Next... :ninja: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Great words from the master !! I have to agree totaly here, having just recently antagonized a mod he:p :p in a topic i was certainly not supprised to find my posts edited and a stern warning in my inbox. If i thought i was being wronged I most certainly would have continued the discussion in the PM system not the topics. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

+StevoFC MVC Posted December 24, 2003 MVC Share Posted December 24, 2003 For the disbelievers, try another forum for a month. Then you'll see just how well Neowin is moderated. It's as a professional setup as you are ever going to get. i go to 4 or 5 other forums regularly, and the mods at neowin do nothing better than the mods at any of those other forums. sorry...
