Anyone have any ideas or examples why moderating forums like this is such a thankless PITA? |

I really doubt my point could have been better made. |

I'm still drawn to and fro by this course of things. The problem is that some of the excesses in both volume and content, which did annoy me as well, came from people which contributed interesting things and with which I might (in some cases) enjoy a little OT banter as well. OTOH, some very valuable and adequate contributors did stay away for a long time because of this - and I have done so at one time myself. The sensitivity which would mean, that an OT post is NOT the thing to pick a fight over is obviously also something that can't be counted upon - I'm not referring to the somewhat heavy-handed moderation here, but to other posters. Some of the most opinionated and easily goaded into their offensive/offended mode would probably be shocked for times to come if I threw my personal opinions around in the same way. But I refrain from it reasons that apply in other environments - I have to get along with most of them. I will let my conclusion eventually be know. Either I continue my activities, and if not, I hope that my message of disengagement will be left standing where it might be. |
