Agreed with basically everyone. It may be useful to see how other forums handle thsi sort of thing. Moderators working in public view with the ability to PM them and such is the norm almost everywhere. I can see why you'd want to handle things quietly, but if the problem isn't solved (it rarely is), then handling things quietly looks like doing nothing. The purpose isn't to embarrass people who are being moderated, but to make everyone accountable.

Lol.

1) Agenda-driven
2) Bloodsport

Which is what all this moderation talk is about to begin with, fortunately Ace, is hust honest about it.

Because as I have noted., and you are no different, my friend.

There is only one user here that has posted in this thread that does not have a personal agenda. more than one are driven only by sheer hatred, some of the others are me too. In my personal, the moderation of this site has displayed a double standard multiple times and in multiple ways, I think that moderation attempts have not calmed the forums down, but heated them up to near intolerable areas, Geri. Look at some the some of the posts by some of these users and tell me that they are driven a personal agenda and/or vendetta, and further feel that it is perfectly acceptable behavior to set up threads which are nothing more than attack threads aimed at one or more users, such as the last one which was setup by a poll.

Geri I have held my hand out to every user in the Forums, in peace, some may have accepted, I hope so, we will see, more are welcome, but the fact that more have not accepted says more about those user and their personal agendas than it does of me. I think you are only fueling this hatred and feeding it even more, unfortunately I think that Invelos has allowed itself to be put into a no-win scenario. I was reviewing the other site referred to by another user this morning and was observing that one of the posters had actually bragged about his own poor behavior.

I am sorry geri this just all around a bad thing as long as it is fueled by hatred, as it has been from the beginning.

Did you read nothing that Ace has said the last couple of days, which have been indeed hate-filled very clearly and agenda driven.

I think one of the problems is, as Staid says, the moderators are also the screeners. And I would guess most of their time is spent screening, not moderating.
I'm assuming that they have some sort of system in place where enough red flags in a thread alert the screeners to go look, so maybe either the threshold is set too high or we as users aren't using the flags enough and are using posts, not arrows, to show our displeasure.

@Charlie, you're right, if I saw a thread singling out Skip for something, I probably wouldn't leap to his defence. I would consider it payback for all the times he has done it to others. Childish - probably, but I think that's human nature. But at the same time I'd like to think I'd know enough not to become an active part of that thread, possibly even posting to say something like "you shouldn't do this really."
