Re: Disgusted by the moderators on this site
I appreciate inactive moderators voluntarily stepping down.
Admittedly, I find little things to complain to myself about from time to time on the site, but I understand the trade-offs my suggestions and complaints might ultimately bring. I was a bit dismayed at some of the conversations taking place on that CrazyParty sounds topic. Suffice it to say that after reading through those posts, I now have a better outlook on where things stand.
I won't praise or shame anything about the moderation status. However, I am in agreement that there should ideally be more leadership, collaboration, and mutual reinforcement. My observation is that collaboration is limited and actions are primarily left to one, maybe two, individuals.
This is a very tricky area because I don't know if existing moderators should allow just anyone to moderate. I feel qualification criteria might be something to consider.
Believe it or not, the AG forum means a lot to me, and I'm sure to many others as well. It would be a shame if our little community fell apart.
Another part of my concern lies in how this website might fail to adapt to newer technologies. We have some great history here on these pages. I can't imagine what would happen if all of a sudden the forum software gave out due to irreparable damage, or the infrastructure just falls apart. Wonder if we can get rights to the domain, source code, databases, etc. Perhaps a financial agreement?
So many thoughts, so little time to write them down. Anyway, my best contribution at the moment is to offer this food for thought. I unfortunately lack the time, like many others I'm sure, to provide assistance I very much wish I could offer.
