An open discussion on the moderating team.
I've been hearing murmurs on livejournal and aim about some of the things we've been doing. Since we're a democratically elected team (for those of you that've joined us more recently, we had mod elections in November '03 and November '04, rather than making it admin decision) then really, you guys should be able to voice your opinions on what we're doing, and there's no public feedback forum right now. (That's another thing- do you want one of those? All I remember it really being used for was strange attacks and Russian spam.)
Tell us your honest opinion on what we're doing, and if you feel you need to, you can post anonymously and we won't check your IP.

:blink: I subescribe to the NC livejournal community and I haven't been getting any posts about the mods or anything else much.
What are the issues people are having? It doesn't seem to me like there's much moderation at all here, really, so not much to complain about. Or is that the nature of the complaint?

I like you guys; you're low-key and jump on people who are really annoying.
Zero issues.
ETA: Sorry, Dead Webby, I edited the typo out after you quoted it. Everyone -- the typo was my stupidity, not Webby's

I don't have any problems at all with what you've been doing (or not doing, as applicable) and I haven't heard of anyone else having problems either.
I don't think an entire forum is really necessary at the moment

I regretted getting rid of that thread, but he was somewhat insistent. It's not actually deleted; it's in a hidden forum, the Oubliette, just in case we needed it later. I would never outright delete something (except duplicate topics, duh), because of my pack-rat nature. We could even move it back, if you guys prefer. It's not as if what we say is always final--I'm sorry, though, if I didn't come across as approachable, there. I like to think that I am. ^_^

I've resurrected it, so you can read it if you want- it's just a thread where Doug (from neolodge?) wants to amalgamate nc into nl.
The mrbboy split (which someone else mentioned) I shan't resurrect- it begins with "I don't feel sorry for you. Anime music is music for people with little to no friends, and your dad is right! Anime music is just should be banned in the world!" and doesn't get any better from there, and no-one needs me to put back an argument on a forum where no-one can reply anymore. I do have my own problems with that thread- it wasn't necessary for Joey to split it with an ad hominem attack, and the split title is obviously inflammatory- but oubliette might be the best place for it.
Oh, and we do very rarely delete threads; they all go in Oubliette. Individual posts are deleted- spam, double posts, patent nonsense and so on- but splits and entire threads don't tend to disappear. Also, Oubliette on the real forums did purge, but here it doesn't- the basic problem with a purging Oubliette is it purges if you open it up, so if you open it up to see if a thread's there, all the threads delete themselves.
