Ok then, I'm sure that when Deezer recently gave certain members moderation powers, he meant for it to allow the boards to be more efficiently moderated - thus this means less spam, less bad posts, etc. A good idea, right? Well... it is a bit difficult to make good moderating decisions when EVERYONE KEEPS QUESTIONING THEM!!!
So far, I have closed 2 and exactly 2 threads on the General Chat board. Let's see what happened afterwards for both.
1st thread: Had 9 replies when I closed it. The message it had was deleted by Deezer, and I believed there could be no pertinent discussion in it. It now has I think 19 or 20 replies and a long disucssion over me being "out of hand" in closing threads - although it was the first thread I closed!
2nd thread: A post with over 100 replies - most being nothing but the word "Yay!" or people disparaging the thread. I closed it. The next day, I received an E-Mail from the started of the thread with no fewer than 19 thread that "should be closed by my standards". And a new thread has been started with the EXACT same concept.
I mean, seriously, what's the purpose of moderating when everyone is questioning your decisions? Deezer obviously believed that I'd make a good moderator when he asked me to do so. And I am merely closing threads that I believe solely deteriorate the value of the boards. What's the big deal? I'm just wondering why you all think my decisions are "wrong".
