A good topic came from this previous topic. Maybe a moderator can better
inform us on what they do? A complaint has been posted about moderators
letting a thread continue until they have commented on it, then suddenly
close it. One thing to consider is the amount of work that goes into
moderating a large list while also having other time consuming life and work
issues. Threads may go on for only 2 or 3 days, and everyone is lengthening
them rapidly, so you get bombarded with messages on 1 topic. Meanwhile, a
moderator returns from a weekend of leisure, or they come home from a work
related trip, and, Holy smoke! What the heck's been going on while I was
away! I'd better get busy on this one!
This is why there are more than one moderator, but even that will not
prevent such an occurrence. Let's give these hard working and dedicated
guys a well deserved break from nonconstructive criticism, OK?

Subject: Re: [Audyssey] Close Topic Blind Gamers Being Taken Seriously?
Hi Fred,
I had initially approved of the topic when we were discussing how to
approach commercial/mainstream developers to add accessibility which
was more or less on topic as it was game related. However, after a
number of messages the subject changed to general proofreading and a
couple of people began flaming the other list members. At that point I
decided it was time to close the topic and move on. Weather you agree
or disagree with the way I handled the "taking blind gamers serious"
topic the fact of the matter is I am one of the list moderators and it
is my job to make decisions like that on a regular basis. If you don't
like the way I personally do things you can contact Kevin or Damien at
[email protected]
and file a complaint with them, but challenging a moderator publicly
on list is not the proper way to do it. The guidelines clearly state
personal issues regarding a moderator's behavior or decision is to be
handled privately by the other moderators of the list.
As far as moderation goes I already explained that so I really don't
get your point below. I clearly stated if list members continued to
post messages on that specific topic they would temporarily be
moderated. If you or anyone else stops posting on said topic then
there isn't anything to worry about.
Cheers!

I love it when you moderators decide after approximately 100 messages
that a
particular topic is "off-topic", can't help but wonder if you just get
tired
of hearing and reading about it, or if, since you posted about it
yourself,
what's up with that? Also, if you put me or anyone else on moderated
status,
doesn't that just create more work for you?
