Rules on deleting and moderating posts
in Feedback & Suggestions ·
A moderator’s job is to moderate. Their primary role isn't just deleting posts or handing out bans; it's about guidance. They should steer the conversation to ensure discussions stay on track and move in a productive direction.
Exactly. They should guide the topic objectively.
That said, some people wander off-topic themselves while criticizing others for doing the same. Personally, I don't mind if people chat, as long as they aren't picking fights with everyone else. Some can be quite rude and crude—and if we're strictly following the rules, they really ought to exercise more restraint.
Some moderators clearly know their stuff, whereas for others, I honestly can't tell why they were assigned to their specific subforum. *Nomina sunt odiosa*, as they say. But I suppose the higher-ups have their reasons.
As for how trivial some topics are... well, a lot of them are. That’s not necessarily a bad thing since this forum is meant for sharing information and opinions, but also for entertainment. Honestly, anyone who treats something like a backyard chicken coop as a matter of life and death is a total fruitcake. It's just nonsense.
Lastly, it's really nice that you've opened up this little moderator corner where half the story (and all the juicy gossip) is missing. 😁
Personally, I think anyone who talks trash behind someone's back instead of saying it to their face is just a complete coward. Sorry if that sounds blunt, but it's pretty much always the case.
