Lack of Communication by Moderators
May 13^th, 2023 at 11:22pm

During the past couple of weeks, I've PM'd one of the
main site moderators twice with a request to ban one
of the forum's members, for repeated breaching of the
site's rules.

Unfortunately, this particular moderator has chosen
to not respond to my PMs, and has not even had the
courtesy—at the very least—of acknowledging them.

I reckon this is one of the ongoing problems with the
apparent, overall lack of any moderation in this forum.
Surely, if a moderator is in receipt of a genuine complaint
or suggestion, then they have an implied commitment
to respond appropriately and in a timely manner?

Otherwise, there is no point in wasting members' time
with ineffectual and/or zero site moderation.

Any public forum is only as strong—or as weak—as its
moderation team.

LOL... it wasn't you mate. Cool

It's poor netiquette to disclose the contents of PMs, sorry.

Interestingly, that same moderator has continued to ignore my
PMs addressed to him.

How do I, or how can I, follow this up? Is there a site administrator
I can report the moderator to for condoning breaches to the terms
and conditions of the site?

VIC and Setanta are the only two 'active' GMODS.

VIC is strict on the Right Brain Hemisphere rule breaches.
Setanta is strict on the Left Brain Hemisphere rule breaches.
They compliment each other well for a balanced complaints department.

As the most banned member on this Forum. I can honestly say that FreeDiver needs a third and fourth GMODS as Setanta and VIC, bless their souls - are finding it tougher to be here for everyone due to crises and health reasons. They've both been doing an excellent job - but the Forum needs a helping hand in two more GMODS.
I'm sure both VIC and Setanta would agree.

I've put my hand up for GMOD often, but I think I scare FD a bit too much. He would think it safer to give a GMOD position to the likes of Monk, Aussie or Brian before I. I don't know why? At least I admit that I am completely bonkers to be here.

Maybe you should put your hand up Geoff?

A couple of days ago, I PM'd a moderator with regard to
Wombatwoody's wilfully inflammatory avatar.

Quote:

This is a request to delete Wombatwoody's offensive
member avatar showing Nazi-Jewish symbology. I'm
sure it contravenes the site's T&Cs, particularly his
use of the swastika.

The moderator refused my request, and this disgusting
symbolism still remains.

I'd be interested in seeing what other members think of,
firstly the avatar itself, and secondly my request to the
moderator. Was it a fair and reasonable request?

Does anybody else here invariably feel disgust at seeing
the swastika plastered all over these forums? Particularly
in close association with the star of David?

Well I've commented that to Wombatwoody just recently in the Netanyahu Topic.
As a Jew. I can see what he is trying to say. Of course, it's totally wrong, more than offensive. I say this as I know there are many out there that have some wank-dream of us Jews turning out like Nazi's. Grin

in their victimhood support for HAMAS (palestinians) Terrorists and genociders.

I honestly endorse Wombatwoody to get it as a tattoo on his forehead to stand the test of time. Grin

So as a Jew. There is no offence taken from me.
It just stands out as a lighthouse warning me of rocks approaching when dealing with Wombatwoody, who's like a kid throwing rocks and nothing more. Wink

The Jew=Nazi meme is stupid and juvenile. It is deliberately in bad faith.

But then the avatar for the Federal Politics MRF is Abbott with a Hitler moustache. That is put there by FD or the GMODS. Also stupid and juvenile and in bad faith.
