Sympathy for the devil

Blimey... having been part of this forum for a good couple of years, I'd thought I'd show my appreciation for the amount of hours that the moderators put into this forum..

..thank you... it is greatly appreciated...

At the risk of causing yet another meltdown across the road, let me preface this by restating the obvious:

•  You don't have to post about it on CUK. It's just one man sharing his thoughts to any lurkers out there.

Now then. Stroking the mods {the devil you know} is a much observed phenomenon. It can be embarrassing, like this example, particularly given the spectacular moderation fail we've just witnessed, or it can be... the best I can do is not embarrassing. Because a good mod won't become the story, unless the story is about a well run forum and why that might be.

If anyone thinks they can do a better job they should volunteer themselves instead of sniping from the sidelines!

People who want to be a mod should be very carefully vetted, preferably by someone who's been carefully vetted themselves. It's a recursive nightmare.

It would be a shame to have a blanket ban on the subjects of sex, politics and religion (as I believe cyclechat do)

CycleChat have set politics adrift on it's own little unmoderated island. This isn't that difficult to look up. I don't mean to be too hard on audaxjk, but even a minimum of research can improve a conversation.
