    Generic Required Spam Option.

    Had to go with it, it really fits my impression of you best.

    Gig, you've been fine for all... two days(?) you've been a moderator.

    Yes, both your moderating actions were a demonstration of combined acumen and in depth understanding of the complexities and needs of the site. Furthermore I would like to add that no praise is sufficient for your delicate and parsimonious use of the edit button. Do I need to add my deep satisfaction for your speed and accuracy in reading this post? I think not.

    *goes to check moderation, will be back shortly with something to say*
    I WILL BE BACK!

    EDIT: BACK!
    You have effective and swift moderation proceedures, but please remember that a term which may be derogatory to some, is not to the majority. I see no reason to censor a term most do not see as insulting
    For example, there is nothing more insulting about beinmg called a Jap then being called a yank, they are both similar terms, and the only reason it seems to prefer one over the other is that on these forums being japanese is to be in a minority

    SIlverguard, thanks for your input
    Your point is a very valid one and one that I considered myself. I discussed the matter with a senior moderator who suggested that the term could be offensive to some. However, because your point is valid, I didn't edit any of the terms out, merely asking people not to use the term given its historical problems...

    But thank you very much for the input please contribute more...

    As much as I would wish to, voting at this time would be horrendously premature. Ban a few people and then we'll talk.

    Just curious. I saw this thread was closed. I don't quite get why though. One comment seems to have been edited out, but nothing much out of the ordinary seems to be going on here. I suppose it would be an idea to point out what precisely is crossing the line here, because it is far from self evident.

    Gig has so far been an excellent and helpful mod from what I have seen in the pitt'. However, I voted " PwN@g3!!!!", is this the option for being excellent? I don't understand geek language. I apologise if it was the worst.

    No, you are right to ask.

    Another moderator posted a warning about flames and the closing of threads, and then I had to delete another couple of exchanges soon after his post. The reason that it seems ok is because we have already cleaned out all of the flames and trolls, deleting most of the posts. Thus it may not be apparent, because we removed the flames, but I felt it necessary to close the thread while we discuss it in staff, as the type of exchanges going on were ones of the less-than-enviable type and it wasn't getting any better...

    I suspected as much. I just didn't see the usual coloured edits made to the posts. I think those are generally very helpful in understanding moderator interventions.

    But when we delete posts we rarely leave those, though we sometimes give a nice shiny post saying "Calm down"...

    It was intended to be the best, although to be frank, I put a poll up because I really wanted to entertain members more than anything. Given that you can only vote once, it seems largely useless to have the poll, so I'd rather people left comments.

    Thanks for your comments! If you have a problem though, please remember that I won't ban you for it (right away...) so you can feel comfortable telling me!

    Gig, your involvement and perseverance for each aspect of your job not only on staff, but in the Curia as well is quite admirable. Your decision making and intelligence on certain matters is of excellent quality and something to look up to.
