Time to take stock of opinion about moderation of these boards. Like to keep my finger on the pulse.

Teachers, are my lessons done?
I cannot do another one
They laughed and laughed and said
Well, Child, are your lessons done?

I think you are doing okay. I would only ask that you keep an eye out for ad hominem attacks and muttering merchants (which you have done well today).
How do you prepare for the end of the world?

I think you do a fine job - especially considering the people you have to work with on here (myself included)!

I'm wondering what thought(s) summoned the poll to be asked. I think that you, Allan and Rich are doing a fine job of it now.

Todays little spats were asking to be locked as people not directly involved were weighing in far to heavily.The two main parties have reached a fair and just resolution so that's it. Over.

I have voted to keep the Moderation as it is.It works fine until somebody loses their manners and gets overheated. It is up to us, the members, to maintain acceptable levels of courtesy no matter what our differences of opinion may be.

Loved and thought himself beloved,

Tell us something.: I used to be a regular then I took up the bassoon. Bassoons don't have a lot of chiff. Not really, I have always been a drummer, and my C&F years were when I was a little tired of the drums. Now I'm back playing drums. I mist the C&F years, though.

I'd wager it was something that was better off left unsaid... the first time as well.

Present level of moderation ---- Let it be, let it beeee, let it beeee, let it be. There's a song in there somewhere. :D

Seriously, let it be. The present hand on things is neither too light or too heavy.

Quite apart from the things people all see—locked threads for example—I've been very impressed at how well things have been handled. A couple of times someone came in cussing the cosmos for no particular (visible) reason. I was impressed by how quickly the offensive posts and threads simply disappeared. Most people would be unaware it even happened. (No I'm not going to tell you who and when. :D )

I don't think the policing policies are wholly consistent but I don't think they could be. It is unreasonable to expect moderators not to have good and bad days just like the rest of us. And it is important when this topic comes up to remind people that this isn't a democracy, we are guests of those who host the site, and that there are possible legal implications that it is easy to ignore when you are not the one in the firing line.

My thanks to Dale, Rich and Alan for the job they do. Everything in moderation.
