I wonder sometimes if it would be better for a moderator to delete the offending posts within a thread and leave the majority of the unoffending thread intact. It seems to me that deleting or locking an entire thread is punishing everyone for the actions of a few. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yes, but a hidden post should necessitate an explanation (valid and plausible and pointing out what exact guideline was the problem). Censoring while not violating guidelines is the worst and will make anybody angsty. I was not involved either, what happened? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I think about the member who may have made an unoffending, heartfelt post about something that is very near and dear to them, something that they really wanted to share with our group. But then someone else comes along later in the thread and diverts or poisons the original intent of the thread, causing the entire thread to be deleted, including all the good posts from people who may have urgently wanted to share their thoughts on the original subject. We shouldn't throw out the baby because of a little bad bathwater. 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Hiding or deleting the entire thread is also censoring, but it is on a massive scale. It censors everyone in the thread, not just the a-hole who caused the problem. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If you get a thread shut down you know why you crossed the line (otherwise you are a dolt and we really only have one of them here). I do what I do for the reasons I do them and it looks like the other mods do the same. And I don't think I remember SW covering this during the OSWMTC (Official Square Wheels Moderator Training Curriculum), but that might have been the part where I was sleeping. 1 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Thaddeus Kosciuszko Posted March 16, 2022 Share #24 Posted March 16, 2022 I would offer that whomever has suggestions about how the mods perform should consider borrowing a pair of moderator's shoes and take a test walk. Not saying you can't offer any suggestions or opinions; just the observation that suggestions carry far more weight when backed with a volunteer spirit to implement them. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
