I am not pointing to any one particular nor any particular issue but I realized that some times Mods use their power ,their authority in debatable manner.


It's an issue with no solution.

You can take this issue up with one of the Clixsense Admins. It's the only way for a solution, mods can be removed and replaced if there is a problem.

I don't have problem with mods but just some times from their activity ,it seems like they used their Mods power to show their personal rage.

Of course they do, their friends get a pass, and everyone else is held to a higher standard.

Just like every human in every environment.

The problem isn't with moderators, it's with forum design. Forums have never had any tools for filtering your own content, beyond the token gesture of a half-arsed ignore button. That's where the real problem is.

Try not to forget that Mods are people to

I don't think your post makes any sense what so ever and I will tell you why.

Moderators do not have any authority.

Moderators are simply volunteers that spend their personal time answering
questions of members, helping new members, denying posts that are very
much against the rules that you fortunately never see, and more.

However, in regards to authority here, we have none. We are not owners.
We are not administration. We are not employees. We have no authority
here at all.

I think moderators can sometimes misuse their "authority" when it comes to interacting with other members, in the sense of feeling offended, etc. I personally have experienced that in the past.

Other than that, their authority is limited and as already stated, they're volunteers and they're humans, as we all are.

Silent

Moderators do not have any authority at all here.

The only thing moderators can do that members in general cannot do, is
edit, lock, deny posts. That's it.

What I see often and I do mean happen very often, is members getting
bent out of shape if their topic is edited or locked. They feel like it is some
sort of personal attack or their human rights are on the line.

When the truth of the matter, moderators for the most part could not
care less....I know I don't. I don't know anyone here. There isn't anyone
here that comes to my house. I've never met anyone here in person. Yet,
if I follow the forum rules and do the task of moderating which I said I would
do, there are always going to be those members that think they are some
how being singled out.

However, in regards to authority, moderators do not have authority at ClixSense.

Well, you forgot to mention about warnings, that's another thing moderators can do, and it can lead to banning members.

Actually, you did care a lot once, you got really offended when I rated you with a negative, so you gave me back not only another negative, but two warnings in a row. Or perhaps I'm mistaken and it was just a coincidence and the real reason for those warnings was my asking you why you had locked my topic without asking me to stop doing what I didn't know I was doing wrong. Perhaps.

Anyway, I was just giving my personal view, let bygones be bygones.

Different forums, different (for the most part) mods.

Site attached support forums (to Paid to sites) are handled somewhat differently than separated support forums. And the level of care from the owner/admin. Either the owners and/or site administrators handle the forum totally, or they dole out certain levels of "modship" to handle every day matters.

The separated forums (software) have more goodies attached to let lead mods (or Admins) handle some of the more major issues. Plus a lot more authority is given to handle delicate issues.

Sometimes you just have to close a thread. And IF the owner is on top of things, sometimes you have to get rid of public posts that are too riddled with inflammatory comments.

Believe it or not, forums have to abide by certain laws. And if things go overboard, hosting companies will take them offline if there are any complaints filed with the host. And if any Federal or International regulations are violated, things can get ugly.

Mostly, I think mod issues come about due to personalities and cultural differences, even when trying to be fair. And, sometimes some folks are just not meant to be moderators. There are a couple here that could do better, and that's just an observation.

@tasman1---you are right.they are human but they should also remember that if CS made them Mod then CS expects some maturity and responsibility from their side ,it's not the power to misuse .

@valerie ,I wasn't pointing to you .you know that you are one of my favorite contributor here .I really admire you and work here but not every one is like you and you can't deny this fact only because of your good behavior .
this thread makes any sense or not but I said what I realized and I am still standing by my statement . this is not some thing ,I said by the day .I noticed 3 different Mods in separate time abusing their power .

Sarah_Hill elaborated in much better way ,what I meant to say

Again valerie ,I am saying based on my personal experience . I never got my thread locked because I don't post offtopic threads too often and never faced any personal attack......it's just a good thing to defend yourself (what you said above)

We will soon see live show of Mods power .thread is gonna get locked soon. [/h] because it's not in their favor and I am gonna face a warning.

A new feature request was made to Clixsense Admins to stop replies to Payment Forum Posts.This has been implemented and all new topics are immediately locked upon posting or mod approval of post.

Lets be fair here.. Mods or ADMIN can manually lock a topic.

This is my fact .Here I can still talk , i can say if i do not like something , i can ask if i have to ask , i can make complaint , and much , much more and still no worry ClixSense will ban me or terminate my acc

Rest of PTC world , all i read on forums is... this is best site , long live bla , bla bla ,,, tell a problem and you a history

Now , about Mods here . they are all here very , very good and honest. Do they make mistake sometimes ? Yes , but as I say here they are humans and humans make mistakes from time . we all do .Remember , it is hard to be mod , i was mod on few small site last year [ reason why i was not much here last year ] and trust me it is hard work

Let us all try to understand Moderators here
We are free here ,We have best site , best moderators and most honest Admin


Pard for my bad English

@tasman1 - About CS and Admin ,I am completely agree with you..CS is the best site ,really it is and I am not saying this because I am in CS forum ,so I only have to praise CS .I really mean it and admin ,I never met him but I believe that he is world's best man and honestly ,we can't doubt even a little bit .Hats off to you man

yes ,human make mistakes but if you are responsible for some thing ,then you should try to control your personal emotions throwing on others otherwise no one is forcing you to take responsibility. And it's not that tough.I mean let's take your example .you are a pretty cool person .I never saw you angry here ,always cool and happy posts.

OK I guess it was a bit long.

Also, I am not leaving. I think some got that impression. I just don't
have the time I once did to be as active.

Just remember if you have an issue you can't get resolved here, submit
a support ticket through the helpdesk.

Bottomline, moderators do not have authority here. This topic really
is bad for everyone. I don't know why he made such a topic because
if he is having an issue with a moderator, he should contact the admin
through the helpdesk.

Also remember, don't allow yourself to get bent out of shape at a forum
online. There are good people and bad people and down right weird
people.

Oh dear! This is probably the longest post I've ever seen @ I truly appreciate your patience in typing all these. Wow!

sometimes mods use there power to lock threads they dont like

@sp1915
This new feature is not good
Most people post their payments in different threads but some makes only one thread and keep posting in that thread (I had done that too)
So I think that this new feature should be removed because there is no bad thing in this matter.
