<p>[QUOTE=&quot;jamesicus, post: 4608404, member: 14873&quot;]I really didn’t want to respond here …………… but I will. To me the real heros/heroines on Forums/Message Boards like this are the Moderators. Theirs is often such a thankless task. The pay is very low (usually zero) and they are often called upon to enforce the Forum rules (that very few members ever read) and meter out admonitions and punishments to violators - with rapid response and action expected by reporters of transgressions - day and night. And of course, just like a judge in real-life, they frequently have to interpret the rules the way they see them.</p><p><br /></p><p>I do speak from experience here for I have on occasion Administered/Moderated a few.</p><p><br /></p><p>With reference to the Moderator’s pinned post at the top of this Forum section:</p><p><br /></p><p>If I had been the Moderator, I would have surveyed the horrible jumbled mess of the thread and said to myself: “What a disaster! It will take me hours to sort out the bad guys (trolls, disrupters, snarlies) from the good guys (on-topic posters with good intentions), edit the posts of rule offenders individually, admonish the well intentioned by PM …………… etc. etc. To heck with it, I will just delete the whole thread and get some sleep.”</p><p><br /></p><p>And, you cannot please everyone.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
