<p>[QUOTE=&quot;physics-fan3.14, post: 3155445, member: 19165&quot;]He&#039;ll argue with you every step of the way, and you&#039;ll never be able to convince him you&#039;re right. But, i&#039;ll give Doug this - he is quite knowledgeable and persuasive. Many people believe what he says, even when he&#039;s wrong. </p><p><br /></p><p>I think some of the problem I have with Doug is that he is forceful, but he&#039;s also a moderator. That position gives him some position of authority (and people are trained to respect authority). Even when moderators are wrong, they have credibility because of their position.</p><p><br /></p><p>I&#039;m okay with Doug being a moderator - he has the time, dedication, and knowledge to effectively moderate. Same with all of the other moderators, as far as I know. However, what I would like to see is all moderators have the title stripped from their account. People who are moderators can post and argue and opine on their personal accounts. Any moderation should occur on a moderator account... &quot;Coin Talk Mod&quot; or something like that. That way, we can get the knowledge and experience of doug and desertgem and whoever else, but we can separate that from their position.</p><p><br /></p><p>The other option is to just not have the mods post much, but I don&#039;t want that.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
