should moderators be allowed to post ??

Unread post by Dark Knight »

Should moderators, who have the power of edit and sanction be allowed to mix and post with us mere mortals?

what recourse would we have if the moderators were to lead us astray?
If you upset a moderator , who arbitrates?

Who watches the Watchmen :?:

VTIC but thought I would see how long before it got red penned or I got Smurfed :o :lol: :o :wave:

Should anybody from Derby who reads comics be allowed to post is surely a far greater concern :wave:

In my opinion, I do not think that moderators should be allowed to post, let alone express an opinion which, with the best will in the world, may not be considered impartial.

MODERATOR surely this should be red penned aren't moderators supposed to remain impartial, yet here one is being very rude towards a quiet and timid poster just because of his city of residence and his penchant for comics. Shame on you Mr Moby shame on you (although :shh: quite a valid point :lol: ) :thumbup: :wave:

I think our "mods" are doing an excellent job, of course they should post .. why not :roll:

I have every confidence that those chosen for the job are quite capable of being a member but if the need arises to put their "mod hat" on they can do this quite fairly and without prejudice.

Just a thought, if everyone behaves there will be nothing to moderate so maybe we should all take that onboard and not give these guys a hard time :lol:

I personally think that Ken should be banned from posting.....for a few weeks at least. :silent:

In order to allow me to get my (apparently beloved) post count well above his! :lol:

I WILL be on that next naming ceremony! :roll:

Your friend from rual Dorset send you hearty greetings . . . .


Who heartedly propose that you should join the magnificent "mods"

The rest of our beloved forum would incredibly benefit

That your regular pointless threads would come to a rib tickling . . .

Of course they should post. Mods still have opinions and are liable to be moderated if they overstep the mark. I can't see that the fact they post openly on the forum makes any difference to the way they moderate or the way they think. Personally I'm not keen on faceless moderators whom nobody knows.

Besides how else can I take the mickey out of the others when my team wins? :lol:
