<p>[QUOTE=&quot;GDJMSP, post: 1394827, member: 112&quot;]Trust me, we do - lots. And there are plenty of warnings posted as well</p><p><br /></p><p>But at the same time it is a fine line to walk. How much editing and removal of posts by mods is enough ? How much is too much ? Either extreme is bad, so we strive to achieve a balance between the two. And overall, I think the mods do a pretty dang good job of doing just that. It&#039;s not easy, believe me.</p><p><br /></p><p>Many, I could probably even say most, of you have not been here long enough to have seen many of the threads from the past claiming that the CT mods were a bunch of Nazi storm troopers who ruled with an iron hand and played favorites all the time. And how dare they edit my post or remove it ! Or worse yet - ban the offender. But I remember them. I also remember the numerous posts made on other forums that the CT mods dared to correct or chastise. You can find them yourselves, all you have to do is look.</p><p><br /></p><p>But ya know what ? Nothing has ever changed. We operate this forum on the same set of rules that we have had since day one. And since I was first moderator there ever was on CT I remember those rules all too well because I wrote them - based on Peter&#039;s guidance as to what he wanted. He does own the place.</p><p><br /></p><p>I also provide guidance to all of the others moderators and every moderator there has ever been on CT about how they should go about enforcing our rules. So yes, I can say definitively that nothing in the ways things are done has ever changed. But yet we have been called every name in the book for enforcing the forum rules. And there have been more than few posts, just like this one, suggesting that we do even more.</p><p><br /></p><p>Like I said, it&#039;s a fine line to walk. And after 10 years of walking it I think I have a pretty good idea of where that line is - and should be <img src="styles/default/xenforo/clear.png" class="mceSmilieSprite mceSmilie2" alt=";)" unselectable="on" unselectable="on" /></p><p><br /></p><p>But comments on either side of the fence are always welcomed and accepted, and taken for what they are. And they are always allowed to stand. Never once has any post or thread criticizing the way the forum is run been edited or removed. And they never will be as long as I have anything to say about it.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
