Can we get an up to date list of mods, admins, and others of the higher echelon?

Drew_TNBD

I think it's high time we saw a list of the admins and modmins of tFB. Threads get locked, threads go missing, responses get edited, and it's not always obvious who has done it or for what reasons. I'd like suggest full transparency on part of the runners of the site in order to encourage open and free debate.

Good idea.  I had no idea Roland was a mod for instance.

Is that up to date?

Everything that gets changed should be noted. Open is the policy.

I guess I disagree. I've definitely seen threads get closed without being noted by a moderator or admin.

I'm sure it happens but I suspect it's forgetfulness rather than a conspiracy.

Exactly this - if we need to do something in a hurry and we're busy with other stuff, the last step of the process can sometimes get missed. I know I'm guilty of this from time to time.

And is that an acceptable breach of the codes of conduct? The interventions thread hasn't been updated in almost a month.

Seems to me if we're going to have codes of conduct for users of the site (no Chappers bashing, don't be a dick, etc.. etc...) then the least that the admin and moderators could do is stick to the rules.

You're right, and we do our best to do it...however, we're still human.

For what it's worth, our guidelines don't say that we must update the interventions thread - that was originally for actions where we couldn't note stuff in a thread (eg somebody being banned for classifieds stuff that went on behind the scenes etc). Nowadays, we tend to post in a thread when we're closing it/moving it, and rather than delete comments we edit them to say we've removed the content. We were a bit inconsistent with that between us (some of us put notifications in the interventions thread, others don't if there's a more appropriate place to notify people), but we always try to note it somewhere.

Consider what happens when a thread is justifiably flagged - we discuss it, then we take action, then we edit some comments out, then we comment on the thread to say we've done something, then we PM the offender (which usually ends up in a Godwin-laden discussion), then we put it in the behind-the-scenes thread...putting it in another place is somewhat redundant, given that all the people to whom it's relevant can already see what's happened.

Drew_TNBD

Right-o. Well I guess my interest ends there then.

digitalscream

Truth is, we haven't actually had to intervene much at all lately. The most I've done, I think, is move a couple of threads to more appropriate areas.

Which is the way we like it.

No worries. I'll be on my best behaviour. I'm turning over a new leaf and going SJW.

You want this, don't you? The hate is swelling in you now. Take your Jedi weapon. Use it. I am unarmed. Strike me down with it. Give in to your anger. With each passing moment you make yourself more my servant.
