Here a thread closing, there a thread closing, everywhere a thread closing!

[Guest102513-1]

Well, at least for now, I'll give the mods the benefit of the doubt...and not believe that these gals were warned not to respond to these threads or faced getting banned

If that were to be true...then another case of a mod playing a power mongrel , and simply showing further signs of poor moderating

Lot's and lot's of back channel chattering going on....probably 50% pure BS, 30% just speculation and 20% based on truth

I'll just got with believing a small portion that I have heard from vets, and a couple ladies that I have PM'd with....

Who is the real devil in this situation...hard to tell

Will the ladies survive this mess and continue...yea, just give it a little time

Do any of the ladies in this mess, have no blame on their shoulders...nope

And I continue to chuckle at my thread, about the closing of a thread which was re-open and basically unedited, yet mine remains closed.

Now do I want or expect my thread to be re-open...nope

Just continue to be amaze at the inconsistency and total lack of communication, out in the open, of the current mod

Ahhh yes, hiding behind the wall of secrecy certainly speaks very loudly!

With all due respect, VK, sensing which moderator is the likely suspect involved in such dastardly, unfair behavior, I have no problem believing the rumors are true from where I sit!

Now ladies and gentlemen, I'm still looking for answers to questions 5, 6 & 7. I know the answer to #4!

A very interesting thread.

How about it scorpio31? Can you place this same analytical and critical eye on your own performance?

In the case of this thread though the OP has become that which he railed against at the time. I'm interested in whether or not he could apply the same eye towards his performance as a MOD....

Being this thread is over 2 years old and the topic is not a "problem" at this time I would make the suggestion to contacted the OP through pm and ask. This will prevent a Hi Jack of this thread.

Thank-you for your suggestion. It is not my intent to hijack the thread and I do not believe my post does so.

The opening statement made by the OP was

He equates the actions of the MODs/Staff to being that of those that have been corrupted by the power they have been given.

This is something seen over and over here on ECCIE throughout the years.

Now the OP has become what it was that he voiced his concerns over. A Moderator that some might believe has allowed the power of being a moderator to go to his head.

Asking for the OP to apply a little self reflection and to evaluate his own recent performance in reflection to his previously stated opinion could be very informative.

I certainly COULD have asked the question via PM to the OP/MOD however asking questions of MODs in a public fashion and MODs responding in the same very much supports the spirit of "Transparency" that the owners used to like seeing in place regarding staff. Maybe that has changed?

Asking the question publicly demonstrates to other members as well that they should not be afraid to question the actions of staff, something that the OP himself seemed intent on displaying in the 1st post.

IS there a reason you are not wanting questions asked of staff done so in a public forum? As a "Super Moderator" are you feeling your oats tonight?

You may wish to limit the scope of the topic to the Title of the thread, "thread closings" but I believe it is more about MODS letting the power go to their head as the OP stated in the opining post.
