If this was a real job (as opposed to a thankless one ), there would be a role description, KPIs, the whole shebang. But in the absence of even some vague guidelines that all can see, the only people who can judge if the mods are being reasonable are the mods themselves - hardly an ideal situation. Who watches the watchers? Perhaps SpankMe, but that makes for a Management Structure, which is unlikely to sit well with a community of motorcyclists. And, as I said in my earlier post - the community health here is less good than a few days ago. Which may give cause for alarm in sensible minds, or not.

    (I searched for mod responsibilities and found "to keep the site running smoothly, to protect the reputation of the site and its owner, to maintain order and ensure the site's standards of behaviour are adhered to" but that doesn't seem to be specific enough to fire someone. Not to mention the "standards" are a bit vague, judging by the posts that have gone to PD in this thread alone).

    Now, as some of the proles half suspect the mods are power-mad and abusing their authority (see my earlier post for a view of why this may be so), events like firing Frosty with no scrutiny of the decision draw the ire of all or most of his friends and admirers, and reinforce the view that the mods are power-mad... etc. I believe it's called a vicious cycle (or is that the M109R, maybe it's a circle?)...

    Perhaps the mods are taking things a wee bit seriously? After all, as us proles are frequently reminded, it's just an Internet site. Do you really need all of these rules, and firing people for poor performance, and associated shit?



    Well, yerssss, no-one else from "the other side" is participating in the discussion, are they?
    Now that's what I was trying to say, but, um, didn't.....

    it is better to be silent and thought a fool, than opens ones mouth and leave no doubt.
    Some things are worth dying for, living is one of them.

    What Law? We are all equal and the only thing that would be wrong would be if gender was prejudiced which it has not, he did not call her any derogatory names, just told her to 'Fuck off'...........something men and women say to men / women.

    I think you have a cheek to insist that Mr H should come to your party.

    There is another thread for general mod bashing. This one is for the pros and cons of Frosty's "sacking'
    Do you realise how many holes there could be if people would just take the time to take the dirt out of them?

    in your world it may be ok to tell a woman to fuck off but I think most woman would dislike even the thought of being told to fuck off

    Well I was born on the tough streets of London, but not my world. I have never told a women to fuck off , however, putting things in perspective a women can tell a guy to fuck off then why can't a guy tell a women to fuck off.

    This just highlights that we often read what we want to read as with you where somehow you decided that I thought that I lived in a world where telling a woman to fuck off is acceptable.............I actually cannot remember the last time I told a bloke to fuck off.

    They are not the law. They just run the place according to a set of rules.

    Explain what? What "law"? No threats were offered. Yes, I may have been rudely blunt, but that "female" member, a bit like yourself at the moment, clearly had no intention of listening to anything but bluntness. In my opinion.
