Proposition to Propose a Proposition

[JoeyKnothead]

I propose we present some place where it is, all moderator rulings, and maybe even their comments, are presented - even if we need to caveat it such that rulings are ongoing and may not reflect any such goings of on.

I propose that if we have us a page full of moderator rulings, a page full of moderator rulings'd help us sort out moderator rulings.

If I report a post I think is just gross - I mean, it says such that pigs ain't pork, or grits ain't groceries... Well that's insulting to me. I take offense. I wanna cuss right back, to say the Gators steal from poor folks, and that Alabama, well they's a bunch of hicks.


I fess to paranoia, but I do sincerely believe that if we can collect moderator rulings - with caveats of particulars - that folks such as myself too stupid to know me better might come to understand what is and ain't right.



As it stands, in my paranoia, I can, if only for myself, conclude - right or wrong - the unanswered moderator rulings either went my way, or they didn't.

And how's that work?

"Stuff you a something I can't tell if it's fair to say, but stuff you it up right there somewhere where it is, I can't tell if I can tell you where it is you need to stuff it or not!"

Joey, are you trying to make the Admin / Moderator team work harder? Don't we have enough to do? It already seems like supervising recess at times.

Your idea has merit but may not be doable practically. Under present policies whenever one of us takes any action, in addition to posting in thread we post notice of action taken in Moderator Forum.

Infraction reports show up on every Admin / Moderator dashboard as soon as they occur or whenever we log in to the Forum. Any one of us can issue a Clarification, Intervention, Comment or Warning -- or call for opinions by other team members. If an infraction report "hangs around a while" and no one considers it worthy of action it is eventually cleared -- but it HAS been given consideration. The more serious actions such as Probation, Suspension or Banishment are only taken if the majority of the team votes affirmative.

Perhaps it would be useful to gather Moderator Actions in some central place -- but "give us a break" -- we don't get paid for doing this often thankless job and we're already overworking Otseng with coding duties.

Members can get a good idea of what is expected by reading Forum Rules and Guidelines as well as all the background information, FAQs, etc.


For those who may not know, Joey and I have been "carrying on" for years -- so we can rib one another occasionally (though usually via PM).

That's why I like ya so much Zzyzx, you accept my proposal has merit, then explain so clearly why it don't


I propose the proposition be postponed pending predilections to pursue, in perpetuity.
