    I dont run a forum and moderate it like my own little feifedom. Banning posters because I dont agree with them or demanding other users real names "because Im a mod and im allowed"

    This is not my forum but if someone posted a thread like this in the forum I moderate it would get moved straight to feedback/help desk

    There are already 2 threads there about it, that not enough?

    Seamus has told us to basically sort it out among ourselfs. So Im going to ask the Mods to start a thread with a open poll [Where we can see who is voting, and who they have voted for] asking if MC should stay on as a Mod. If the majority of people thing he should stay on I'll say fair enough. But I think if the majority of posters say he should go he should go:)

    The rules for hosted forums are different than normal fora.

    That's not exactly the kind of "sorting it out" I meant. :) A poll doesn't really say anything without the input of the other moderators IMO.

    Thats fair enough Seamus. But can you please tell us had this been one of the real forums. Would you still allow MC to MOD

    its posted under the name of boards.ie, and its content is hosted by boards.ie

    So why don't the rules of boards.ie apply?

    Why is CT a hosted forum anyway? Unless I'm missing the point of the hosted forums, most of them seem to be related to businesses, ie radio stations, sports clubs etc. Why isn't CT a 'normal' forum so to speak?

    Aye, I suggest we follow Seamus' idea and start cracking people's heads open and feasting on the goo inside.

    I think it was a new mod who didn't understand how to fully use the mod controls

    Or that he was a plant by Admins and SMods to stir up some controversy in the forum

    Its not just this. There have been other insrances such as DEMANDING that a poster revel there real name. CT claimed he was perfectly entitiled to know this as a Mod. The guy is on a constant power trip and need to be repremanded, removed or asked to step down.

    Oh yeah, I forgot about that. It's not up to the mod to do that kind of work, he should have requested a Smod to look into his suspicions if he had any. However, he was not to know this, and I have not talked with him about this. He was within his rights to find out if the user was a re-reg but should have gone through a higher mod, ie - me. This is due to him not knowing the procedures, yes, but does not make him unfit to mod as it is procedural imo. I am also to blame for not speaking with him about it.

    You're not content with one of the basic, underlying concepts of modern democracy - the secret ballot.

    You're not even content with knowing who voted...for whatever reason you'd want to know that for.

    No...rather you want complete knowledge of who expressed an opinion each way.

    Big Brother may not be watching us, but you apparently want to.
