Gilby has harper as a mod, to be honest, 2 mods is really all this site needs. It’s nice having this forum police itself in a way; the mods really don’t delete many posts, which they normally don’t need to. Recently there’s been a lot of useless posts though that it would be nice to get a mod on top of and get rid of them before they sit at the top of page 1 for a full day of everybody complaining how useless the original post is.
Still, as the forum goes, I still don’t think it needs more than 2 mods. Should there be one, I would prefer to see somebody like yoopers or GILD or Brian Mackenzie (and a few others), since they have all been around for some time, and I think they would be capable of the responsibility that comes along with mod status.
And if no one complained those threads would quickly fade from page one and into oblivion where they belong. Unlike what I’m doing right now. This thread is utterly useless and serves the community in no way whatsoever. Fortunately, it is in JC. It would be much better if it were begun in the trash receptacle or discussed in MR (same thing). But here I am, like an idiot, bumping this useless piece of junk to the top. This is a case of “do what I say, not what I do.” Don’t respond to threads with high assininity quotients, like this one.
I would argue that point to an extent: This thread brings to attention the amount of crap that has been posted recently, and the possibility that if it continues, some added policing might be necessary. I certainly hope it doesn’t come to that, and I hope that the creators of those threads will clean up their act so we don’t have to deal with that. I appreciate the way this forum tends to take care of itself.
MR, and even better, the Trash Receptacle is the place to post useless stuff. At least it’s contained that way, and those who don’t want to see it don’t ever have to.
Of course this thread could be argued as useless as there is another thread that directly brings these issues to attention.
