You have received a warning at WebProWorld

[janeth]

This will most likely be my last post on this forum, it’s been coming for awhile now (about 8 years :) )

I don’t get along very well with one of your moderators and I don’t take kindly to being warned. I personally feel that my posting has added and currently does add a lot to webproworld but according to your moderator she is directed by the administration to do most of the stuff she does.

From removing my post, to locking threads as well as currently giving me warnings, seems a bit of a strange way to treat your members, especially one that has posted as much as I have.

I get a lot of members thanking me for my post, so I can’t be all bad but I’ll be moving along now in search of a forum that appreciates my participation a little more.

I hope you and very one else here the very best.

Quite some time ago, (years) I received a warning at WebProWorld, I think this was because I had too may links linking to my own related websites, in the postings. (I am not saying that you do this.)

For me I have very little time to post so one minute I was posting content to my sites with related linking to my own websites. The next minute posting at WPW the same issue, what I believe other users would find helpful, (this is why post it to my own website in he first place. So it was easy to copy and paste when posting here.

Do they specify the warnings or are they too generalized to know why?

I guess a moderator can interpret the rules.

I guess a moderator can interpret the rules.

This was personal, and I don’t care what anyone says, if you’ve got a member that has been a member for 8 years and has over 6,000 post and has never been warned you should respect them a little more than that.

Indeed they can and do.

I recently had a situation, in a different forum, where a particular Mod., one who was emotionally invested in a certain discussion where and I stood in opposition, PMed me to give me an "informal" infraction - "informal" as a "favor" - for making multiple consecutive posts rather than combining them, something that was alleged to be contrary to the forum Rules.

When I explained the circumstances involved, and how and when I determine that some posts are better made separate of others, he replied that my reasons didn't matter, that is flatly forbidden.

I replied that, as both he and others did likewise, I was confused, and requested a link to said Rule. I also CCed the Admin., who advised me that there was no such rule!

Mods. are, like the rest of us, humans who sometimes let their emotions get the better of them.

This is awful! Janeth has been one of the major contributors to this forum. Well-informed and witty too. I am very upset to hear about this.

[Tubby]

I have currently placed my hands over my eyes. . I am chanting ' This is not happening '

I am waiting for the comforting words "I will make it all better" . . . .

... I am waiting for the comforting words "I will make it all better" . . . .

You have a goodly Sheriff. I will make it all better.

[deepsand]

Or, perhaps Robin shall. ;-)

[C0ldf1re]

Or, perhaps Robin shall. ;-)

Robin Hood is in his forum hideaway in the forest, along with his Gang of Pot Roasters. (D*mn and bl*st Robin Hood's PR agency!)

[deepsand]

The Sheriff likes not roasted pot? :-?

[C0ldf1re]

The Sheriff likes not roasted pot? :-?

Just between us. Pot Roasters = Top Posters. Ring any bells about the new forum in the forest? Where the hoi polloi like us are invited not?

[deepsand]

Which new forum would that be?

Having good moderators is an important part of any forum and when you have moderators that want to abuse the position then a forum is no longer a fun place to spend your time.

As the administrator of a forum or for that matter the owner of a forum you need both good moderators and good members. This forum has managed to lose more of both then most forums ever get the opportunity to have.

It seems when they lose one sorry moderator they try to replace them with an even sorrier one. After 8 years on the forum MJ has finally caused me to leave for good.

This will be the only thread I’ll participate in until the day I see that she is no longer a moderator on this forum.

[C0ldf1re]

Watch for PM.

... This will be the only thread I’ll participate in...

Please forgive and forget. After our little argument, Webnauts and I are friends again. If we can do it (being pig-arrogant men) surely ladies can do even better?

If, following the Red Rep. War, williamc and I can become Friends of record here, then surely all is possible.

Off, now, to settle the troubles of the Middle East and Central Asia. :mrgreen:

Janeth,
Although I don't post nearly as much as I did in the past, I would hate to see you go. Your postings always brought a great insight to any topic. It has been a pleasure posting with you and getting to know you. While I do hope you get this worked out and can stick around, I certainly understand where you are coming from and wish you the best. If you do end up posting somewhere else on a regular basis, please PM me, or visit my website and let me know. I'd love to be able to glean from your experience and knowledge more!
Best of luck,
Ed

Guess you'll have to start another thread to keeping deriding the moderators. This one is closed.
