Ineffective modding of Animal Forum

    Hello folks. Not here to start any kind of
    conflagration, I just thought this thread:

    http://boards.ie/vbulletin/showthread.php?t=2055295284

    indicates a lack of timely/effective moderating.

    Sin é :)

    More specifically:

    The mods (I'm not sure how many there are)
    weren't involved in steering the thread back
    on course, and didn't manage to distinguish
    on versus off topic material. When the thread
    was all over the stable door was closed, or
    was threatened to be.

    Twice the mod came in and warned users, including you. What more did you want them to do?

    The mod warned one user to stop
    'calling people tools', fair enough, but
    that was engendered purely by complaints
    from contributors rather than any understanding
    of the overall interplay within the thread.

    I wasn't warned anywhere in the thread, or
    at least I was officially finished before
    a threat to lock was made.

    My intention in writing this was to make it
    clear to other moderators that a difference
    in opinion in Animal Issues = derailment of the
    thread, maybe this isn't obvious in this
    particular thread because the subject matter
    isn't widely known?

    Anyway, thank you for your time Gordon. I just
    wanted to bring this trend to light.
