Im posting this blog in the hope that it may clear up any concerns that anyone on this great site regarding the 'Moderators' and their position and responsibility of 'Moderating' the site and assisting 'Super'. Myself and BEM are at this stage been given this responsibility if people were not already aware of this prior to this blog then everyone should be now. Myself and BEM are limited in our responsibilities as 'Moderators' and do not at this stage have the authority to just 'shut down' blogs, suspend those who continually break the 'Code of Conduct' or delete comments that are inappropriate. We can however monitor blogs and warn people of any inappropriate comments and give them the opportunity to respond to either apologise and alter their comments or both before we radically delete, suspend or shut down even IF we had the authority to do so. We are aware that not everyone may be pleased with the processes we take but I can guarantee we will endeavour to do our best and to be in alignment with the 'Code of Conduct' but also be supportive and diplomatic in our dealings with ALL members whether theyve been on the site for years of if they are new and finding their way. Please understand that both myself and BEM are both new to this role and we are also endeavouring to find our feet. So please be patient and show us some grace please. We appreciate your support, advice in doing our job and in continuing to make this site a great place. We can not do this on our own it is a whole team effort.
You need to be a member of 1Eyed Eel to add comments!

Monto, people should respect you as a moderator.
Stand your ground and don't let them push you around.
You won't please everyone nor keep everyone happy so there is no point trying to.
Best of luck,
Your old friend.
Scott
Thanks Scott I appreciate your advice.
The bubble will burst hey? I just have to make sure Im ready.
just wait till the two serial pests return
No offence intended in any way, but why does Super have the absolute control of the page? Again, I personally have no issues with Super. Just seems an odd set up that only one person has the additional powers and can make any decision alone.
I guess the boss has 100% control in the majority of companies andvas delegations arise there needs to be a 'trial' or 'probation' period.
I belong to another social media site which is pretty strictly monitored ( they have the resources to do it) I have had my WTF moments with them on some of my posts removed. Pissed me off but I accepted it as in the bigger scheme of things it was not worth the energy to get upset about. It is a lot easier to just redo the post or just forget about it. You can always put your hand up if you want to do this job of you think you can do it better
Just to add to my post. I am not sure how you do the moderating on this site, On the other site I mentioned I belong to posts are regularly removed and a comment made by the moderator along the lines "This comment has been removed because it does not abide by the code of conduct" you could also add" please rephrase it accordingly". I probably wouldn,t add any further discussion --Just accept it even if you believe your comment has been unfairly monitored or the ruling is over the top. It isn't,t that a big deal really. Control your ego.
it has ocured over time electric since Phil took up greater goals such as the BOARD
SUPER has lurked around for some tme now .
Well I'm a bit surprised that I didn't even get a look in with the moderation position, unprofessional way to find out that I didn't get the gig. I go with it, as long as it's fair, as in the past it's not.
