You know MS needs to get rid of all those mod's who I've never seen post 1 time on these forums. Half the problems we have in the community are from nameless/faceless mod's, who come in and lock or delete a post with zero explanation.
This makes people mad. They don't know what they did wrong and end up making another post to complain (because they don't know who else to complain to).
Mod's are supposed to be part of the community that helps people and answers questions when they can. Not just a bunch of lurkers who lock/delete posts. Aside from Deacon and a few other people on that list. I've never seen anyone of those people post ever.
I would like to see the moderators post more often too, but a lot of the time they need to just keep the forums clean, and they don't really have the time to post in threads. They're a part of the community though, and moderating a forum even if you don't show your face often is being actively involved.
Well I do retract my statement about getting rid of some of them for not posting. I did look over most of their post history and saw that some of them must be mod's for certain areas of the site, such as Spanish Speaking section or Tech section.
That being said though I've never seen a website where threads get locked or deleted with zero explanation. Not every post is spam or obvious that it broke a TOS. People need to learn from their mistakes. Mod's should not hide behind anonymity. If you are going to lock the thread any mod who does so should be the last to post in the thread and give a reason for locking it. It's common courtesy for one and secondly it tells people what they did wrong so they learn from their mistake.
I mean if a rule was broken and their is a legit reason to lock a thread then no one should be ashamed to give a reason and lock it. The problem is though that a lot of times certain mod's abuse their power, they know they don't have a legit reason to lock a thread so they do it anonymously.
Take out the paper and the trash, or you wont get no spending cash!!!!!
