Do the MODS mod? Continued

[JohnNJ]

Thanks for the reply, Abby. Don't know why you removed my original post.

Please don't take offense. I'm a Mod and Admin for several sites so I know what it's like.

Back to my question. Let's take an obvious example from Bird Board Discussion:

Desktop playstand I made.

This thread, IMHO, belongs in the Do It Your Self forum. If I was inclined to only check out specific forums rather than all new threads, I would miss this very interesting post.

Considering that there's 17 Mods listed, I would think this is simple process to administer. What am I missing?

john,

what you're missing is the fact that we all have jobs, that some of our mods are currently not active due to personal reasons as we have lives too, and that we have many other things we currently have to deal with.

i hope this answers your question. please believe me, we're trying. and we'll focus on housekeeping once we can find the time.

i'm closing this as we really don't have the spare time nor energy to constantly justify ourselves as we're currently forced to - the only direction this can potentially go is the wrong one.

best,
bee

Just because we haven't moved 1 thread that may or may not be in an inappropriate area, certainly doesn't mean we are slacking on our duties. We are not here to micro-manage ever little thing that goes on. If a thread is misplaced, oops. Just because it isn't 'filed' in the right area doesn't mean its any less beneficial to the members here.

We've had a lot of crap going down lately and quite frankly I'm getting sick of coming home after work to read stuff like this. The entire team here is on a volunteer basis, and if they weren't willing to put up with stuff like this and spend hours and hours of effort making this place run- there wouldn't be a birdboard. Its simple as that. So take it or leave it.
