Normally, that's not the case with me. I'm not a disturber type personality. And I'm not on the receiving end of comments from administrators and senior members, I just observe them going after others. So I say something about it sometimes, not always or even often. Each time knowing the reaction I will get.
Don't see anyone "going after" members here, just keeping things running smooth, that is what we volunteered to do. Would the site be as great as it is if we were constantly chasing people away? Methinks no, the Staff would be the only ones here, no? I am quite certain that if the style of moderation was an issue here that some of us would be sent packing by the owner, it is his site after all, I just help him out.
Someone said I expect it, well, yes. I would be shocked if I didn't receive the usual comments. My comments aren't bad, just not the usual back slapping, good old boy agreeing that this is the greatest run board on the net. So?
I don't expect a bunch of yes men here, the site would be no fun then, would it? I also do not expect to go through life on this board never getting called out on any mistakes that I might make here. In fact, I have been notified when I have made mistakes and I have made amends for it, I'll continue to do so and I am sure that this is something that all of the Staff would agree with me on - read my above reply for the reason.
What we do get here, from time to time, are people who just love to needle the Staff whenever they can, they just hate having to listen to someone tell them they may have posted in error or not played nice on the boards. Some hate being told to use spellcheck, others hate being called out for posing or posting inaccurate information and some just hate being told to do anything, even if it is in their best interest as a member here. To sum up - some guys just look for a fight.
You don't have to agree with me to make this site run well, but you must stay within the guidelines and make a half hearted attempt not to be a burden here.
You say that you sometimes pipe up when you observe certain behaviors here, you have that right, as do I in replying to you in the manner I have.
