As opposed to openly aggressive trolls like yourself.

I dunno, you're still here, that means we are at least somewhat tolerant.
alien wrote:Dude, do any of you even see how little traffic this site gets? Why do you need so many moderators? What is the mod to regular user ratio anyway? 3:2?
I guess math isn't your strong suit. 1 Admin and 4 mods, 2 of whom are recent additions & still learning the ropes. That's not even 1/40th our normal users online at a given time. Your math is about as good as your spelling.

Anonymous user bragging about his credentials... hmmm...
I moderate another forum that averages over 8,000 views a day, it has nowhere near the content of this forum.

You haven't exactly established yourself as a dependable person whose advice we'd follow...

Don't work like that, already been explained to you.
We've got credentialed people here with real expertise that we'd like to keep around to provide worthwhile content.
This forum isn't about catering to the loudest, most obnoxious people, with the most time on their hands to post the most.
This forum aims to provide worthwhile content on Mahayana and Vajrayana Buddhism.
If you don't like it, there are plenty of other forums to check out.

Kind of hard to have random people off the street with enough subject matter knowledge to moderate effectively, but then you probably have no idea what moderation is.

Libel is actually legally prosecutable, I'm not sure where you're getting your education.
alien wrote:The real liablity is in intercepting and blocking electronic communications, which is what moderating technically is.
You mean like someone trapped behind the great firewall of China (and soon Thailand too)?
alien wrote:Blocking electronic messages can carry jail time and a website's TOS doesn't mean jack in court. My forum learned this the hard way and had to pay out to the user to avoid criminal prosecution of one of the employee mods.
Cool story bro.
