Moderators - Lucky to Have Them
After reading the NYTimes article on RedDit moderators, see "...Anything But", we at LFPF are very fortunate.
A case in point is the recent discussion on digital alt processes wherein the moderators kept a light hand on the discussion, allowed all sides to speak at great length, then announced a decision. Well Done!
Re: Moderators - Lucky to Have Them
Doug, it's very kind of you to say that. We really appreciate the good wishes, apologize for any frictions and confusions we cause along the way, and beg everyone's understanding and patience as we try to bring the FS/WTB discussion as well to a reasonable and workable conclusion.

+1.
Agreed in full 110%.
An additional BIG 'Thank-you'... Therefore now also, goes out to all of the Moderators for their very hard work and continued untiring, dedication -- To this Forum!

Yes, that was a very interesting and 'revealing' article Doug. Thank-you, for bringing it to our attention.
Hopefully, Reddit has now learned their very painful (and expensive) 'Lesson'.

I dunno... Is 'Moderatocracies' really even a word? :D

One might describe the behavior expected around here as a tolerable balance between freedom and duty.

I'd hate to see this place without our outstanding moderators.

Thanks, guys.

Doubtful. Their business model still depends on membership growth to support ad revenue. It does not in any way depend on a commitment to the topic at hand, which is what we have here.

Don't get any ideas. You've not served enough time yet. "No parole for you." :)
