Moderators?

BigBassin144 · 03-05-09, 07:46 AM

I was wondering, since the site is growing fairly quickly, maybe there should be a couple of moderators.

Don't get me wrong, I love that there are no super strict rules here like on most sites, but I think a moderator could come in handy. Like stopping things BEFORE they start, and stuff like that. (I can think of a few instances where a moderator would have prevented some things from happening.

We don't need post nazi's, but I think it would be a good idea to have a moderator or two.

What do you guys think?

I know what you are talking about, and it may be an idea although things are going ok right now. What problems there have been, in my estimation, are relativly minor.

I think not having them makes people take care of their own posts a little more and that is one of the best things about this site. If there were mods added then maybe nobody should know but the mod, then he/she could make things disappear as needed.

Bassboss · 03-05-09, 09:21 AM

I've also been thinking about that too.... and have numerically thought about PM Kevin about it.

I can't wait 'till Kevin sees this!

Kevin · 03-05-09, 09:25 AM

Everyone is a moderator!

If you see anything that should be reviewed by an administrator... simply click the

in the bottom left-hand of the post.

means "REPORT TO ADMIN".

I really appreciate everyone's help and support!

BassBandit · 03-05-09, 10:46 AM

I definitely think we do need one mod or so because of problem with my PM would have been taken care of!!!

Kevin have you not read my thread in regard to PM problem?

Kevin · 03-05-09, 10:57 AM

Hi BassBandit... I replied.. sorry for the delay!

True that!

Now that that I think I think about you're right! cool!

bamabassman · 03-05-09, 07:28 PM

kevin is right, and i agree that we handle things pretty good for him and ourselves. if things get out of control.....we take care of it for kevin. it is the least we can do i think.

thanks for the heads up kevin on how to handle a bad thread or post. i always wondered about that. i know....DUH!! hahahahaha.

I don't think any mods are needed. Them folks let the power go to thier head. Personally one of the only reason's I visit this site is because it still upholds the Constitution. Free speech and all.
Bama is correct as usual.

Keep it the way it is.

i totally agree with bp here..we have always been pretty tight and quick on the draw if a problem pops up..

flfireman · 03-06-09, 10:36 PM

Us quick on the draw?? Moderate ourselves?? We don't moderate, we attack like rabid badgers until the person leaves, apoligizes or just rolls up in the fetal position sucking their thumb and begging for mercy. If not I guess the report a post button will work also.

That's what I was thinking prior to your post

But, not this one, hilarious

We have one not long ago though.

I love the Constitution, but the 1st Amendment does not apply legally to a message board. This board is the same as if all of us were guests on Kev's front porch having a conversation. If someone gets out of line, Kevin can tell them to shutup and make them like it and its prefectly constitutional.

But other than that small legal qualm, I agree I like the freedom we are given.

yeah its winter and were sitting in front of the computer all the time.. but something happens pretty quick ...

Bassboss · 03-07-09, 07:49 AM

I Agree with all the comments so far, no mods are what make bassfishin.com bassfishin.com.

To tell you the truth, I've had major problems with mods in the past.

But their are something that we the people cannot do, for example, lock and move threads. But hey, who's complaining, I'm fine with it!

brushhog · 03-07-09, 10:22 AM

If it ain't broke, don't fix it....

woody · 03-07-09, 10:32 AM

In my opinion Kevin is doing a fine job with moderating his site.

crankybait · 03-07-09, 12:36 PM

If it aint broke dont fix it sums it up nicely... Ive seen mods get a little too power hungry and think that they are some sort of demigod

Jim80 · 03-07-09, 02:28 PM

I think were good without em most the problems i have seen come up have been solved without Kevin needing to get involved so let it be the way it is .
