Yes it does unfortunately. What happens on the road when people see cops? They slow down. Forums work the same; well forums when the moderators are halfway respected and active.pnhasbeen;1189201 wrote:Authority doesn't need active posting to be effective. O-trap made a good point.

Moderators are the leaders of the forum. Without leadership, things run amok; without moderation, things run amok. That's what has happened here.pnhasbeen;1189205 wrote:Leadership and moderating aren't necessarily the same thing.

I don't disagree with sleeper. But I don't think not being an active poster makes someone a bad moderator. Ideally we'd all contribute as much as possible.

Bon apetit!
I would suggest that a moderator saying things to just fill an "active" quota instead of simply speaking when he or she has something to say would hurt the forum ... not help it.justincredible;1189241 wrote:I don't disagree with sleeper.

The first dozen posts were of People arguing with thierselves that both were the same
Then the predictable happened...straight down the partyline road when most turned right, and a few turned left.

If they posted 100 times a day, would that be doing it in moderation?justincredible;1189241 wrote:I don't disagree with sleeper. But I don't think not being an active poster makes someone a bad moderator. Ideally we'd all contribute as much as possible.

Curly J is a really average poster, not sure why he's getting so much love.

I agree, but showing your face (posting) every once in awhile lets us know you are still active and contributing. Nothing wrong with moderator turnover, people's lives and interests change. I think it would help change the culture for the better if we had mods that were active and interested in their particular forums in a positive way.justincredible;1189241 wrote:I don't disagree with sleeper.

Well, yeah. I didn't mean setting a quota and making you guys post a new thread every day or anything. Like I said, "ideally" but that doesn't mean it's going to happen.O-Trap;1189249 wrote: I would suggest that a moderator saying things to just fill an "active" quota instead of simply speaking when he or she has something to say would hurt the forum ... not help it.

Gotcha, but that opens up a subjective discussion of "how often is often enough?"

I'd be fine with an entire new mod crew. I think Wes and Heretic do fine.
But as Chicago said, we need mods who ARE active and apart of the community.
