Hi Aussie,

I guess all he has to do is win an election. He seems not have have any success at all in doing that.

I think he should try to get his own moribund website moving forward
and not worry about here or the Real PA.

As a relative noob, I've seen—on numerous occasions across numerous
threads—an almost complete lack of moderator and/or administrator input,
censuring, warning, editing or bannings. This despite clear and repeated
breaches of the site's rules, and often by the same perpetrators, who seem
to belong to some clique that avoids any suppression and/or penalty.

Is this opinion correct?

And secondly, how were/are moderators chosen? Does the membership get
some sort of say in it? Are there periodic nominations and seconding, followed
by a vote? Are moderators themselves ever relieved of their position for
their own infractions of the site's rules?

I reckon a stronger, more involved moderating team with better oversight
would see a notable improvement of the forum's value and public face.

Hi Aussie,

Monk already has a precious manure mound of a forum. He just needs to remember its name and remember to post there more often.

I totally agree with your sentiments but Freediver who owns this site and pays its bills ... likes to run THIS forum HIS way.

You are a dreamer. The Mods here, including FD, are hopeless.

The Mod of Environment only posts “funny” animal Youtubes. Previously he only used to post links to YouTubes by a conman.

Mod of Relationships only posts puzzle results.

Rivetting!

When is your next visit to drug rehab, Larry? Be soon, I think? Another blissful period without your crap posted everywhere.

Just like the incompetent El and Mod at the sewer, YOU need to take responsibility for wrecking that forum.
