Just a quick poll

Do you think PCGS boards are a little anal retentive and lack any zest to them?

[K6AZ]

All I have to say is that board is the most poorly moderated board I am aware of.

I second that. I posted a link in open forum and somebdy didnt think it was funny and next thing you know the link isgone and I am being told in PM to not do that anymore. I put the link back up and get told not to edit my post after moderators do.

[K6AZ]

Well, you saw what happened to me. Need I say more?

[XpipedreamR]

What was the link? Post it here.

You asked for it

[XpipedreamR]

Well, they have previously asked not to post items making fun of the retarded or otherwise disabled people. Probably because it's extremely cruel and not funny. I can't really get behind this one.

[DirtyGoldMan]

I agree with Xpipe. Extremely poor taste. What next? Snuff films?

[K6AZ]

Man, political correctness at it's best. I have a disability and I don't find it offensive.

[ldhair]

I do have a problem with how PCSG moderates their board.

At the same time there are some things that are just too offensive to allow.

 

This got me thinking a bit about the job of a moderator.

What should they use to make their decision?

 

How the majority feel?

How many complaints they receive?

Maybe a bit of common sense?

 

Not a job I would want.

[K6AZ]

Well, for one thing, they need to learn how to use the thread lock feature before threads get out of hand. Locking a thread will diffuse a bad situation from getting worse.

[ldhair]

Or maybe a member lock.

Seriously I like the idea of one day time outs.

Sometimes folks just loose it. I know I have.

[XpipedreamR]

I'm on another message board where topics get locked if somebody says "boo." It can definitely be overused, too.

I was thinking that as well.

I hate it when a great thread gets killed.

This has to po the author.

[K6AZ]

Some boards do overuse it. But I could name probably ten threads over there in the last three months that should have been locked. What happens is you have a heated debate, it's over and done with, then a few days later an instigator bumps it to get it going again.

[James_OldeTowne]

My honest answer was simply "no", but then again, I very rarely visit PCGS' board.
