Guest Posted November 29, 2014 Share Posted November 29, 2014 How often does the moderator visit the board? Just wondering, in view of some content posted over the last 48 hours. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
firecat69 Posted November 29, 2014 Share Posted November 29, 2014 I guess it would help if you said what you thought needed to be moderated. I guess I missed it, but I have been busy so might have missed something. At any rate this Board has a History of being moderated very lightly which is the way most of us like it.

Up2u Posted November 30, 2014 Share Posted November 30, 2014 I would think all posts are sent to his email account for review. If he is busy then perhaps he needs a helper to assist in the moderation. I think everyone plays by the rules here. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Posted November 30, 2014 Share Posted November 30, 2014 Tariq64 is an exception. 4 fake reviews and various other insulting posts. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TMax Posted November 30, 2014 Share Posted November 30, 2014 Well if the owners of the board are looking for another moderator I would put my hand up (I have quite a bit of experience at moderating forums), the best part of this board it rarely requires moderation. vinapu 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Up2u Posted November 30, 2014 Share Posted November 30, 2014 Tariq64 is an exception. 4 fake reviews and various other insulting posts. Yes, I now understand your concern. Use the Report option and send a PM to the Moderator. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Posted November 30, 2014 Share Posted November 30, 2014 Use the Report option. Did that for several of the posts. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

vinapu Posted November 30, 2014 Share Posted November 30, 2014 You'll be happy to know, he has been banned! Thanks God, I don't know what his agenda was but certainly he did not add any civilized input to the forum williewillie, llz and TMax 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Posted December 1, 2014 Share Posted December 1, 2014 Thanks God, I don't know what his agenda was but certainly he did not add any civilized input to the forum Agree completely. I'm not sure what the moderating policy will be & respect the board owner's prerogative not to comment. However TMax kindly offered to help out, which might just be quite useful if the current moderator cannot check in for 48 hours. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
kokopelli Posted December 2, 2014 Share Posted December 2, 2014 Much like the defunct Baht-Stop the ownership and moderatorship of this forum remains a mystery. williewillie and ChristianPFC 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
NIrishGuy Posted December 2, 2014 Share Posted December 2, 2014 Much like the defunct Baht-Stop the ownership and moderatorship of this forum remains a mystery. And thankfully up to now that seems to be work just fine so lets not look to hard for or seek to "out" some existing board "personality" who may or may not be moderating ( or even bothering to read) the board which might end up changing that then eh as I'm all for "if it's not broke don't fix it" train of thought re that. williewillie and vinapu 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest LoveThailand Posted December 2, 2014 Share Posted December 2, 2014 As a not so active poster but regular reader I am quite happy about the way the forum runs itself. And also that aberrations are delt with - even if not promptly but eventually. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Posted December 2, 2014 Share Posted December 2, 2014 Much like the defunct Baht-Stop the ownership and moderatorship of this forum remains a mystery. The difference is it seems to work quite well here. OK, I've questioned the delay in dealing with this incident, however it was dealt with and if a 24~48 hour delay is the worst problem we get, it's not too bad at all.

williewillie Posted December 2, 2014 Share Posted December 2, 2014 Bad moderation is far worse than no moderation. A bad moderator can destroy a forum by showing favoritism and bad judgement. This forum has worked out well under Scooby and frankly the personalities of other gaythailand forums are too present, too ego driven, as proven by the worst of the worst, the now deceased bitchboard boss.

vinapu Posted December 2, 2014 Share Posted December 2, 2014 I have no problem with moderating here , we are behaving very well. After now departed tariq threw some mud at me I PM Scooby and he cleaned up premises promptly. I know z909 reported that too as indicated in post #7 so action was rater swift. Member do not need to agree on anything but purposely offensive name calling should be exterminated as it was done in that case.

Agree; that is one reason I liked Baht-Stop, the owner/moderators had a laissez-faire policy which worked well. Saying that, I always did wonder who Baht-Stop was but will never know.

TMax Posted December 3, 2014 Share Posted December 3, 2014 One of the reasons that I really like this forum is that it rarely requires moderation if any at all, I find the posters here to be civilised even when they disagree with others. Healthy debate is good but I have seen many other forums where some members just continue to try and ram their opinions down others throats even when they are wrong, hell I even had to modeerate a forum like that and it wasn't much fun. This forum on the other hand rocks. kokopelli 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
