I've been accused of being too strict on posts and too lenient, but never been seen as one of the 'nice' moderators. Maybe the demands of law school and business ownership have softened me some. Interesting. Today is a strange day indeed.
I'm not stepping in to the drama, 'cause I gotta lotta Civ Pro to read, however, I'd like to make a few statements. The following statements are my opinions only, and not indicative of GC, any other moderator, or anyone else in the universe.
1. I am not CashMoney. I have been asked twice now and I'm answering for anyone who's curious. I post as ZetaAce only.
2. If you have a problem with Chit Chat - the way it's being run, one of your posts is missing, etc. please feel free to PM me. 99% of the time I respond to PMs.
3. If you think some people are getting more slack than others b/c their posts are never deleted, there's is a good chance that it hasn't been reported. I can't (and honestly, won't) read every thread on Chit Chat. I read the threads that interest me, and the the threads where a post is reported.
4. Back in the day I used to PM a person everytime I deleted one of their posts. Unfortunately, I don't have the time to do that anymore. If your post was deleted, you can assume one of the following:[list=a][*]Your post was reported -> I felt it was out of the bounds of good taste ->I hit delete[*]Your post quoted or referred to a post the was out of the bounds of good taste[*]I screwed up and deleted the wrong post (I've done it before, don't be shocked if I do it again)[/list=a]
You should
not assume that I am playing favorites. There are only a few people on here that talk to me on a regular basis via IM or something else.
5. Again, feel free to PM/IM/email me with concerns. Or any of the other moderators.
6.
Report posts! Just because you report something, doesn't mean it will get deleted, but I will at least look at it!
7. Finally, and this is the most important, feel free to go over my head! I won't mind or care. You should get the most out of your GC experience (if that's your thing) so if you feel like I'm a big meanie or just generally unresponsive, then I'm sure John would not mind hearing your concerns.
I'm sure the other moderators will throw in their 2 cents if they read this.
As always, I welcome feedback via PM/IM/Email.
