An idea for Mods

Post by mandy »

Just to keep them a little bit accountable, and understandable for the rest of us, how about a system when they delete posts, they need to explain why?

I know on Talking Carlton, every time a Mod decide's to edit or delete a post, they need to choose a board rule that has been broken and it's there for all to see.

Any chance we can do that here?

It's very dangerous when a person is given all the power with no transparency. Just sayen'....

Publicly, we generally we do, but sometimes we haven't the time or it just isn't appropriate given the content - you wouldn't believe some of the stiuff we see (but then again maybe you would).

Almost always we do notify the rest of the mods team, so there is a degree of accountability.

Not for years. Unless you count this:

I back Mandy on this.

I thought this is what the mods used to do as a matter of course.

Heres an example of what used to happen:

At least you could take the mod concerned to account.

I also think a post confirming why a thread was closed/locked by the mod would be useful. I know WPW (Steve) used to do this in the past.

Same for the merging of threads, maybe close the old thread and link to the new position in the merged thread.

I love giving you guys more work to do.

I think we should set up a tribunal system of some sort to appeal decisions that we dont agree with (that would be all of them)

I have seen it one other boards and I think it also serves as a reminder of the rules. For instance if you view a thread and you see comments such as the one below, it can only high-light and reinforce the rules to all.

Post deleted - Reason: No personal abuse - Donny

Post edited- Reason: Do not post full articles from AFL.COM.AU - Mike
