I greatly admire Skinner..... |

Edited on Mon Mar-10-08 06:03 PM by Flabbergasted
In fact, of anyone on DU Skinner is the guy I most want to read from. I wish he posted more often. In addition putting together a forum this successful is no easy feat. Skinner, elad, and EarlG have worked miracles
As far as the moderating goes. I think it could be stricter. I really hope that Skinner will start a discussion after the campaign season about ways to moderate the forum more effectively during primaries, and about the primaries themselves. We are not fulfilling the purpose of DU; In fact we are damaging, not only DU, but to a small degree the candidates and party.
I also understand there was a good reason for allowing more leniency during the campaign season but I think the disadvantages may outweigh the advantages in the short-term and maybe longterm.
Go Dems.

1. You seem to be unaware of the reasons Skinner should be ashamed of himself |
|
But trust me, there are plentious reasons why our chief zookeeper should feel ashamed.

2. Just alert the mods if there if anything really bad |
|
The volume of posts is so great that the Mods need our help and BTW do not tell the person who your alert is about that you have alerted - they can edit their posts and avoid removal or possibly later tombstoning.

3. I alert several times a week on threads that I believe are completely |
|
unprodutive. Rarely do they get removed.

8. I hope you're joking... |

The "Shame on Skinner" thread has been up for about 3 hours.
I always root for the underdog. :)

7. Allowing such a wonderful forum to get torpedoed like this is sad. |

11. I'd like to see a old rule come back into practice |
|
If I recall right, new members had to have a large number of reply postings before they could start a thread of their own.
Sure you can post a lot of nonsense to get there quickly. But that would be a damning sort of "paper trail" of behavior and help make a good decision when considering banning a member.
It might have at least slowed down the tempo in the last couple of months.
My 2 cents.
