A week ago it sure would have been a fine idea but now the horse has bolted after excessive use of the whip. --- End quote --- I think now is the most appropriate time to ask the question. --- End quote --- When those that might be most affected by the outcome have already left this forum with a bad taste in their mouth to take their knowledge and contributions elsewhere ? While it might seem to be engaging with the TEA members the poll outcome only represents the remaining and as such is a CYA move. Like any statistic since time began it can be crafted to misrepresent the truth. |

The fact some members have moved elsewhere is unfortunate - but I fail to see how a poll before the upheaval would have signalled anything. |

The Mods have to operate at the balance point, so please cut them some slack if they don't meet YOUR personal expectations! In the light of this it is very clear that the Mods have been acting in the very best interests of the EEVblog IN ACCORDANCE WITH THE COLLECTIVE PREFERENCE OF ITS MEMBERS. Some of you may want to argue the point, but the poll makes this extremely clear. --- End quote --- I've been modded two times during all the time I've been here. By Dave himself. He deleted part of my posts he deemed inappropriate. Because I'd dedicated many hours to this forum, I could have very well felt myself entitled to protest. Instead, I understood that this is a community and that I need to know my limits. So I apologized and have enjoyed a happy coexistence with no hard feelings towards any members of the forum or the mods. --- Quote from: dorkshoei on August 28, 2022, 04:27:18 pm ---I didn't realize there was any moderation anywhere on this forum :-). And no I'm not joking. There are many times when I've wished a mod would take some action. (I used to be a mod on a much larger forum) --- End quote --- Mods here are like a sleeping dragon. And we learn from Harry Potter that a sleeping dragon should never be tickled. |

Properly done it would have plainly signaled the moderators were properly serious about doing something and those that have gone to greener pastures would have been able to signal their thoughts although as it happens the outcome may not have changed, at least they would've felt consulted and a poll taken then would have be properly representative. |
