<p>[QUOTE=&quot;torontokuba, post: 1852107, member: 56793&quot;]I&#039;d say there is a slight difference between &quot;strict, hip and up to date&quot; moderating vs. &quot;geriatric ward rules, geriatric mentality and often zero grasp on reality&quot; moderating. </p><p><br /></p><p>For the most part, I&#039;ve noticed that the guys without any authority on this forum, are great, know how to take and tell a joke, know how to turn the other cheek, don&#039;t get upset easily, can hold their own in an argument, etc. This potentially leaves the abundance of grumpy old moderators (or younger moderators enforcing grumpy old rules), fishing for what most would consider non-existent problems. I sometimes wonder why things even required the involvement of a moderator.</p><p><br /></p><p>I&#039;m still pretty new and doing my best to adapt, especially with that whole entire freedom of speech thing you guys have going in the US. I&#039;ll figure it out, eventually.</p><p><br /></p><p>[ATTACH=full]309595[/ATTACH] </p><p><br /></p><p>In a word, yes.<img src="styles/default/xenforo/clear.png" class="mceSmilieSprite mceSmilie2" alt=";)" unselectable="on" unselectable="on" /></p><p><br /></p><p>I&#039;ve also seen more than a handful of posts that I thought break the rules, left unquestioned. The response there is for me to report them. Why would I report a fellow CT member, with this many moderators always looking to give public pointers and lectures in red? Sorry, not my style. I prefer a community without rats.</p><p><br /></p><p>Let&#039;s hope that no volunteer authority figures, ever wake up in a safe, soft room with tennis balls mounted on all sharp corners, sitting near the window, doing their best to prevent the sunset. For me, guessing and prevention of what one thinks might happen next, falls along the lines of one of those -isms, maybe with a McCarthy in front of it.</p><p><br /></p><p>It takes a special person to be the hall monitor, especially for free. Cheers for all the good calls. My problem with authority, especially authority on a pretend level, is deep-rooted. If it ever results in a ban, I&#039;ll have to learn to live with myself.<img src="styles/default/xenforo/clear.png" class="mceSmilieSprite mceSmilie2" alt=";)" unselectable="on" unselectable="on" /></p><p><br /></p><p>[ATTACH=full]309594[/ATTACH][/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
