Dear,
Our not limitive input:
- not all forums have the same type of members. Starters forum contains mostly the first
reaction from the new ones without looking at the 'rules' of it.
How many people creates a poll without the goal to have one.
In our opinion and we aren't alone in that it can be necessary to extend f.e. title or to
insert code-blockstructure.
Titles to reflect more the actual question.
Code-structures to make inserted code more readable. Script code will return.
Truncate longlines to keep a topic more readable.
In most situations intervention is based on the active part a moderator want play.
We never receive negative reactions from them. Only now we read that someone
would be really pissed.
The topic "INFO: Moderator's message to new forum users" which was creating by Howard
and me is also very clear about what can happen with a topic on the starters forum
and during the RFC phase it wasn't a big problem. - any experience member knows the 'general' rules of the board. There must be also
a very very good reason for a moderator to move a topic to another forum.
In the past we agree with the restrictions for udf forum and we agree also
that this board such have a lot of freedom.
f.e.
when we put a topic on beta forum we have our reasons for that. To put it on
general forum wasn't the goal. Such moves by moderators can lead to a situa-
tion members stop using this board. Once we were confrontating with those kind of
moderators. Impact for that board: to put something nice on the internet is inte-
resting enough for them why spend our leisure time there. - Howard Bullock, we subscribe completly your reaction. To make it more readable cost
time and it mostly isn't a very instructive duty, but the benefits for all readers
can return a feeling of statisfaction. - sealeopard, we agree with you that the contents of topic shouldn't changed by
moderators. Moderators can add a reaction to the topic for that purposal. - we should keep a little bit of freedom on this board. Just this kind of freedom
makes this board great. Sometimes this board gets a chatroom function for
some of you. Is that a problem. - we shouldn't move old topics to new created forums.
greetings.
