| even a blind man can see this "moderation" is anything but moderate. I
suggest they either quit, or leave the political axe they are grinding
at the employee entrance.

I agree with the base note. This conference has become nothing but a
big joke. (LITERALLY) At this point it seems the only thing to do for
the moderators is to resign. No one is enjoying the conference and no
one seems to support the moderators except the moderators.

| Hey how about ME as a moderator, I would set all replies I didn't like
hidden and probably only allow entries in french.
Qu'en dites vous?

| Jean,
How would that make you different than the current ones ??
(other than the French only part of course)

| 691.6 | If its not swearing or racial slurs...leave it alone! | KAOFS::J_WEIR | | Thu Apr 22 1993 20:16 | 18 |
| I used to be a constant onlooker of this particular conference. I
enjoyed seeing a location that was for the CANADIAN in all of us,
French, English and yes even those from the Grand Canal. Canadians
are typically not a very vocal group, it was nice to see a topic of
current events which did not contain Waco Texas, George Bush or some
Euorpean country at war.
Political topics bring the soap boxer out in all of us, there is
always a fraction which might be offended or hurt. It is the moderators
function to try and bring things back to order, this is typically done
through a entry which corrects the flow of discussion, or rightfully
demands an apologie.
When I see notes set hidden or deleted, and then 10 notes asking
what was wrong, well! I just quit wasting my time and move on to a
conference which makes sense!

This might have been the initial issue, but it is not the catalyst for
what is driving this note! "NO ONE" likes to be told when to go to
bed, to eat all their vegatable. The issue is MODERATION requires tact
not enforcement. Teach and show people the errors of their ways and the
will learn. Ie. Build it and they will come...
Two notes in one day
a record!

| re: .7 -
The only people who think this conference is in a mess (for reasons
other than the actions of the moderators) is the moderators...
The problem with this conference is the moderators, their ever
increasing set of rules, and their lousy moderatorship...
The moderators should either relax or retire, with the latter being
preferred...
To Stuart re: "bitching" - where I was raised, this is a swear word.
Perhaps you should delete your response in anticipation of how offended
I might get...
Regards,
Garry, who's beginning to think Jean D., Normand C, Derek S, Mike C.
and myself as moderators would be a definite improvement over the
present regime...

| OK, let's see how long you people can go without harrassment or
insults being thrown.
The writelocked notes are being opened.

I would like to moderate Derek as nominator.
I think.
Hmmm,
Aw forget it.

There you go! My intention was not to really UNSEAT anybody in particular
as the moderator, but only to loosen the reins a wee bit! Lockyer - no
name calling or personal jabs at Stuart! Y'all have to behave yourself
in this notesfile or else~!@#$.
I didn't think that Stuart had a big nose!

| Why not come in and check the COLORADO notes file, we just about got
closed down by HRO for the discussion going on regarding Christians and
non-christians.
The Moderators were forced to act or we loose. I would not like to see
the Canadian conference closed, better to act first, than not act.
I nominate the people who are complaining about the moderation to be
the new moderators. Let them read up and understand all of the items
that are to be disallowed, and how to keep the conference on the air.
Bet there would be a lot less gripes.

| 691.18 | Hail to the moderators! | KAOFS::LOCKYER | NO! (Tact Is For Weenies!!) | Tue Apr 27 1993 17:38 | 10 |
| To Dave Royer,
Thanks for agreeing that there should be new moderators. Yours is not
the first note to propose new moderators, but I suspect that your note
will get the usual response from the current moderators - absolutely
none. Replacing the current moderators, or even adding additional (mor
moderate?) ones, has about the same probability of happening as Sadaam
Hussein inviting Bill Clinton to govern Iraq...

| Yo Moderator,
What happened to node 691.21? I was just starting to get a chuckle and
Oh Oh.....IT'S BACK%$^^!@&$%^&^$
|
| 691.24 | Please ... no swearing or profanities | CSC32::S_BROOK | I just passed myself going in the other direction! | Tue Apr 27 1993 20:53 | 2 |
| While I personally didn't hide 691.22, I can tell you why it's hidden
by asking everyone to avoid profanities and swear words ...
