sniffy:
I doubt the moderator, whoever it was, said that nothing on the internet can be taken seriously. The rest is fair comment. We do, however, take the privacy of members quite seriously. There would have to be a good reason to invade a member's privacy, and particularly to publish personal information given to admins/moderators in confidence by the member.
Thankyou for this. The post record stands. The moderator in question stated in a post that nothing on the internet should be taken seriously particularly anything on this website. Nothing on this website could be guaranteed - truth, freedom, privacy, etc. Hours later he tried to backtrack.
He also stated that the members here should not expect to have any say in what goes on here.
Now here is one member who has no confidence in one of your moderators but hey I'm not expecting to be taken seriously.
This is a strange question to ask in the abstract. If you wish to make a specific accusation against a moderator, I suggest you contact one of the admins (myself, Stryder, Plazma Inferno!) by PM and provide the relevant evidence and details of your accusation. We'll look into it.
I suggest you check your report buttons, threads and get back to me publicly. Nothing here guaranteed to be private your moderator said so remember? So I won't be sending anymore PMs. Everything can be altered. Names statistics poll results context everything. So why should I trust what you say?
I didn't nominate anybody. In fact, the moderator group as a whole decided to call for volunteers, and indeed a new moderator was selected from among those who put their names forward. But thanks for letting me know.
I was responding to your accusations that I was disgruntled about my favourite not being nominated, instated, pickled.
Great! But this is just an excuse to slag off the people you don't like, isn't it? Here it comes:
Have I slagged anyone off?
Meh. I'm used to it. Some people can't take any fair criticism or even questioning of their motives or actions without holding a personal grudge forever after. It comes with the territory of being a moderator or administrator. We're always pleasantly surprised when a member doesn't rant and complain when they receive a warning, for example. The usual response is to make excuses, or claim biased moderation, or whatever - anything except take responsibility for one's own actions.
Now here I am going to suggest that the opposite of this is true of me but that it might be true of someone else maybe some others because of my association with another website. Someone made an accusation about some members here. No evidence posited.
I don't hold grudges. I talked about holding people in higher or lower esteem and how such people go up or down. Up and down depending on recent interactions....
sciforums is unlikely to last forever, but it has been around for 10 years so far. Your immortal words will no doubt live on in the google caches, if nowhere else, for some time after sciforums is gone.
Indeed. If they aren't deleted and altered. The context and emphasis changed. But then they wouldn't be regarded as
my immortal words now would they? Or would they? Nothing here guaranteed certainly not truth or privacy.
Maybe you ought to take up this matter with superstring. You seem to have a few unresolved issues.
I did dear.
I assure you that when it comes to member rants like yours I make no distinction between men and women.
Well that's good to know.
