i'm making this thread as an addendum to
hamma's roundtable thread.
about me:
i'm a relatively new mod to psu (i've been staff for almost a year, but hamma was lazy about giving me blue).
i've administered my own forums for fun, school, and work, so the job's not new to me. i've moderated for others' boards too, nullsoft being one of them.
this community is much like the others except for one thing: i like this one a lot better.
as a result, i'm a lot looser when it comes to moderating and admin-naziing.
now, i consider myself the guardian of the lounge. i browse the other forums, sure, but i consider this one, and those that inhabit it, to be my charge. as i mentioned, i will defend the lounge from flames and political arguments alike.
HOWEVER
the point:
i want some feedback on the moderation of the lounge.
some posts in the roundtable thread have gotten me thinking: some say that keeping threads on track and locking flamebait threads faster - even banning the furious flamers faster - would be a good thing.
what i want:
tell me what you want a lounge moderator to do.
give your ideas on locking & splitting threads and how they relate to the atmosphere and your sense of freedom of expression here.
explain what you like & don't like regarding styles of moderation, and how/if you'd like to see different styles in different forums of PSU.
you're probably getting the idea, so let's hear it.
