And some may not even remember they are moderators. With the new year I want to clean up the permissions each mod has. So for now I'm removing everyone and will add them back as necessary. I would like mods to be allowed move/split posts to the appropriate section. I see no reason to delete or edit posts unless it is for clarity. Spelling, broken link. The original poster can edit/delete a post if they wish. Good judgment is needed when closing a thread. I think with these basic rules moderation will be more transparent. We have a friendly community and I don't see a lot of need to moderate. __________________ ...steven BMW CCA #146825 1996 BMW 328ti • 2003 MINI Cooper S • 2016 M235i www.bmwcca.org | | | 12-21-2010, 05:37 PM | #2 | Senior Member Join Date: Aug 2005 Location: Florida Posts: 2,525 | Totally agree. One of the things i really like about this site is that the moderators are here to fix real issues, they are not here to try and force the direction or ethics of the site. I've been on way to many sites where mods deleted posts just because they didn't like someone, or they thought somebody was attacking their friend. In the end, most of that just makes any "circles" and clicks that much worse. The few times I've seen mods step in and delete content, it was rightfully done. If you find yourself lacking mods for any particular section, I can help maintain things like moving/merging posts, but really have no interest in trying to monitor what is being posted by others, ie., deleting content. | | | 12-21-2010, 07:12 PM | #3 | Senior Member Join Date: Jun 2003 Location: Greenville, SC Posts: 9,356 | Quote: Originally Posted by mohaughn Totally agree.

I would have been happy to change your setting enabling you to send PMs earlier. __________________ ...steven BMW CCA #146825 1996 BMW 328ti • 2003 MINI Cooper S • 2016 M235i www.bmwcca.org | | | 01-08-2011, 01:50 AM | #8 | aka Stabby Join Date: Nov 2004 Location: Mead, CO Posts: 5,336 | Around, but not that much (too many other things going on).

Fortunately this forum doesn't need much moderating. __________________ ...steven BMW CCA #146825 1996 BMW 328ti • 2003 MINI Cooper S • 2016 M235i www.bmwcca.org | | | 01-08-2011, 04:57 AM | #10 | Moderator Join Date: Dec 2006 Location: SoCal318ti Posts: 1,574 | Quote: Originally Posted by 1996 328ti Fortunately this forum doesn't need much moderating. | Thank God for that!!! | | | 02-25-2011, 06:22 AM | #11 | Senior Member Join Date: Oct 2008 Location: Los Angeles, CA Posts: 1,464 | Quote: Originally Posted by mohaughn Totally agree.
