Why is it ? Selective moderating

[TT5.9mag]

So mods should be robots?

No sir not what I said. And again an unnecessary comment that adds no pertinent context to our adult conversation. To explain further, your comment was contrary to his post because he failed to include all pertinent information.

No refreshments though. Is it okay to put vinyl siding on a car ?

Wood-grain effect or solid colour?

 

[junkyardhero]

my personal take is that it's the uneven application of said moderation. it just reeks of rules for thee but not rules for me.

You wouldn't by chance have a moderating book for sale, would you ? New, used, doesn't matter.

What additional information would you like to satisfy you.
In post #40 I clarified Mike's omission and he agreed.

Dang skippy it is. And although that one has a 390, the 428 was an option. LOL

I agree it was a simple omission. And that FACT made it contrary. It might not be now because you clarified later on, but was then. Why are we talking in circles on this one point? Seems irrelevant now. How about an answer to post 47 please.

Please don't turn this into a For Sale or Wanted thread.

65. I'm not sure the 428 was quite available then but here's a real 428 four speed Country Squire. LOL

It kept coming up because you kept bringing it up, after I answered it.
As for post #47
No mod HAS closed it have they.
I think that answers the question.
If there are no further questions it's been nice having this conversation.
Can someone give my good friend Mr Sinister something to wash down the four tubs of popcorn.

 

[4spdragtop]

I've been told/threatened in a pm by a mod that I shouldn't add any technical knowledge to an ad. And I quote "leave that to someone else"??? Really? Also every reply he sent in a pm he deleted lol. Then proceeded to send a picture of the group of 4spdragtop haters club that thinks I should be banned. Seriously??
Ever hear the term micro-managing? BINGO!

One time I brought it up after you clarified. And my response was “that’s contrary……..” every other time it came up was at your discretion, to which I replied. Either way it’s a non issue now, which negates the reason for the rule and opens up the same debate that started this whole deal. What’s the reason for the rule?

No mod HAS closed it have they.
I think that answers the question

It most certainly does not. The mere threat of closing this thread was what was questioned. Not why it has been closed because we know that didn’t happen. You’re still talking in circles, and not answering anything.

I have bumped heads with some members and some moderators. Like anyone, I sometimes let my opinions and emotions influence my actions.
Inconsistent moderation just might be a matter of the Moderators being human. We all react differently when we are alert and peppy, tired and intolerant, angry and vengeful or gracious and giving. Sometimes an issue may come up here and the only moderator online just got bad news from a Doctor or a big bill in the mail. I know that I could NOT be a moderator. I'd be the guy that edited incorrect spelling, banned members for posting vertical videos and looked the other way when members I didn't like get bashed by other members....

There are gray areas where a determination can go either way.
I'm not defending moderators here entirely. There have been times where I have been spanked and even after I cooled down, it was still my opinion that I was singled out. The same thing happens in other interactions with those in authority. Many times, they just want to calm the storm even if those that are not entirely at fault get caught in the net.
I am not one that concedes easily. I hate to lose, I hate even more to lose in an unfair manner.
Some conflicts are worth standing your ground, some are not. Many times, I have found that the moderators can be reasoned with if you PM them and explain yourself. It sure helps to NOT start off with cuss words and harsh accusations.
Come on....this forum is supposed to be informative and entertaining, right?

It also helps when questions are answered intelligently and honestly. Lack of either promotes discourse and/or distrust in the authoritative body.

 

[mopar head]

Why has a Mod been following me for years?
Have I hurt the fe fe`s of so many members and they report me and the Mod has to read through everything I say?
I know it`s not because I`m awesome and say cool things

I'm generally cool as a cucumber regardles of my mood. Not Fonzie cool, but close.

Thanks Greg.
As one of the Moderators who have had in the past many conversations with you about posts, I appreciate what you have written above.

You and I understand each other, and I know you have an appreciation for what we do as Moderators....and why it is done. I just wish a few more would get with the plan and just accept the rules that we all try to play by.

It is a real shame that we have a group of people who are determined to not conform and continue to be obnoxious in their behaviour towards the Mod team and Admins.

I'm sure that given the opportunity to sit and talk around the table at the likes of Carlisle, there would be very little conflict or bitterness....unlike what we witness every day here online.

I got the same dough-lip smackin' message, the seller posted an older cam, & somebody posted a question about it & possibly what springs were recomended. I had a catalog with the listing, so I snapped it & posted it, got the "Your post was deleted yada yada.....let the seller answer the question!!"....
Sounded like the seller wasn't even sure what they had, but OK Colon-all Klink,.......
