Not impossible however with considerably less credibility than a member with 100+.

I disagree here. The number of postings says nothing about the quality of the content. Nor does the length of a post.

One has to evaluate each member on the content of posts made, and sure it will become more clear after a number of posts if someone is capable of providing valuable content. Still no guarantee for good quality posts all the time.

Agreed.

It can be necessary to add in the context in which posts were made. That's a problem for the mods, since it requires spending their (valuable limited) time searching through history.

You are right, context also matters. This is something people that make complaints have if they take the time to read instead of jumping to the gun. And on a forum this big with so few moderators, you can't expect the moderators to be up to speed on everything.

The problem with these things is there are always two sides of the medal. As you can see a few posts back I looked back to see what happened in the thread and it is impossible to know what exactly went wrong, because a lot of the content has been replaced by "off topic, so removed" statements, but what I can't understand is the unwillingness to just refrain from the to far off topic stuff. And the members involved know what it was. Also gnif mentioned, in his maybe slip of the tongue, that the 15+ members that complained had 1000+ posts. So no newbies >:D

I also see the blame game being played on both sides. Just had a look on the new site and see a lot of finger pointing, but never towards themselves, at least some of them. Time will tell how things will evolve in both places. Wonder who is moderating on the new place and how quick it gets out of hand, or not. Unless all the complainers from within stayed here, there will still be people that don't like all the off topic stuff, whatever that stuff may be. And trolls might creep in and have to be dealt with too.

That he did not say.
Go back and study the link you presented and the context gnif's comments are made in.

The 15+ members are those that were offering support about the moderators efforts.

Brumby:
As tautech has highlighted, we have perfect example of something being mis-read and creating a bag of discussion that has no foundation in fact - but continues with a life of its own.

Please!  This is extremely counterproductive and perpetuating the thought that any mod released such information is nigh unto criminal.


Unless specific and unambiguous examples can be cited to prove to the contrary, I suggest those who got it wrong simply apologise and let it go.  We all make mistakes.
