Title: More moderator action = better?
Post by: Don'tHate742 on March 05, 2005, 08:54:12 AM: Moderators here at PGC are great. They make enlighting comments and give us solid information. I've learned that while being a poster here. In a way, we all look up to them. They help us sort out disagreements and add their own thoughts on topics, to help us view them in a new, different light. This post is just to ask the moderators, could you guys be more interactive with your users? Your input is greatly wanted in any of the threads we are talking about at that time. Having a well-informed person post just makes that topic much more interesting.

As a disclaimer, I'm not saying that you don't interact. Hell, looking at the number of Editorials lately, it's easy to see that you guys are indeed giving your input. I'm just saying more regular posts would be much appreciate.

I can see why moderators don't interact a whole lot (under their "moderator" names, at least) with the crowd on a regular basis. When doing so, they tend to form associations with others on the boards that quite possibly come back to "haunt" them later, either the mod being accused of picking the sides of their "friends" or the mod being accused of "backstabbing" their "friends"... Personally, I find that it's better to post under a 'nom de plume' so you can be yourself and take your moderation actions under your real name...

Post by: Hostile Creation on March 23, 2005, 07:52:23 PM: I've noticed quite a lot of mods posting recently, especially Rick, Bloodworth, and Deguello. I also see posts by Aussie Ben and Young Plumber and all them from time to time, too. It's great to talk with you guys, since you actually know what you're saying most of the time and offer some of the best constructive conversation on the boards. So good work

Post by: RickPowers on March 24, 2005, 12:09:01 PM: At least no one has accused me of pot-stirring yet ... even if that's kind of what I'm doing. Nothing like being the Devil's Advocate to get a conversation jump-started!

There's a big difference between trolling (posting bogus "viewpoints" just to cause trouble) and creating conversation by posting a potential alternative viewpoint - even if it isn't your own.
