hes an enigma
he's been posting here for years - longer than when any of the yahooers rocked up here and he has not changed at all or never made a post 'out of character'
Actually the ex yahooers and Im one of them should be grateful to have somewhere to sprout their opinions after ruining the yahoo forums to the point where they were closed down.
and some actual standards-based moderating could ensure it doesnt end up like yahoo. but of late with 25 new IDS each week and less and less actual content, the yahoo standard is EXACTLY where it is headed.
FD appointed perceptions as moderator and as you have noticed he is now gone after a pretty inglorious stint as a totally ineffective moderator. Mozza moderates the right but gives the left free reign so he is pretty useless as well. FD is totally consistent. He is NEVER effective.
and so DRAH and the like run all over the place making it less and les enjoyable and before long all that will be left is DRAH and corpulent_whiney in their own parallel universes of mental illness.
any forum will live or die on the effectiveness of its moderation.
this one is going downhill pretty rapidly. Think what it could be like if a moderator enforced that the thomson threads all go together??? and what if abusive gits were banned and their socks also banned??
nah we tried that once. and the biggest complaint???
it worked.
and we cant have that FD, can we?
