fcarrio has reported a post.

Reason:

Post: Help Wanted. Volunteer message board moderators of non-members wanted.
Forum: Misc. Discussion
Assigned Moderators: N/A

Posted by: Ed Fako
Original Content:

Tongue in cheek, I volunteer and have substantial experience doing so, but, who would moderate my moderations since I can not see my posts until they are now moderated?

Ed

Now, just so I repeat myself from another thread…

This rule will definitely reduce or eliminate many potential good quality posters from desiring to take part in valuable discussions

The rest is a copy/paste from the Non-Members can still post on this board thread:

What I don’t get about the new rule, is what does it prevent?

If someone were to post Spam or Inflammatory Remarks, then other members would hit the Report Post Icon to report it to the moderators immediately. Thats when a post should deserve moderation.

I see this as increasing the moderating tasks more than assisting in the duties to diminish their work load.

I know first hand, because I moderate on www.ContractorTalk.com which has over 40,000 members and www.DIYchatroom.com which has over 45,000 members and several Roofing related sites. If I had to add Moving Approved Posts to the duties, I wouldn’t have time to keep up.

I just try to offer practical real world experience commentary to assist those that run into typical situations, but have not actually done the roofing or ventilation tasks before themselves.

I don’t know how long it took to get posted. The one answer to another thread and this question both were not available for me to see, so I left the forum last night to wait for the response to this question.

It sucks the wind out of the continuity of a discussion, like one thread which requested questions to be considered for a roofing guide book. I never would have posted more than one situation, had I not gotten instant response and feedback.

I am sure you put some thought into this action, but it probably had more to do with inflammatory posters, which I do not consider myself to be.

See if you guys in charge can reconsider that rule please. As diplomatically as this statement can be said, this rule Sucks, in my own humble opinion.

Or, the very least, have an option for a gratis affiliate membership for posters considered worthwhile to have on board, since I do not plan on opening up a Home Inspection business to compete with you guys. Maybe some sort of probationary status for an unknown personality new to posting on this site could be considered.

Does that seem reasonable to you?

So what???

This is a legitimate poster. Leave him alone, for crying out loud!!!

Who are you talking to?

jbushart · February 6, 2009, 11:44pm

To whoever decided to hold up this post. The content does not meet the criteria for moderation. There is no libel, no slander and no personal attack.

The post has not been held up. The fact that it appeared in the Misc. section shows that it was indeed allowed.

With the new upgarde, it seems the misc section, previously available for all to view, but only members to post, is now available for anyone to post.

That, I believe, is Franks objection.

[FONT=Arial]I have been a member of NACHI since Jan. of 2004.[/FONT]

[FONT=Arial]In those last 5-years I have NEVER seen a Non Member post on the “Misc” section.[/FONT]

[FONT=Arial]For the last five years they could read but… Non Members were prohibited from posting![/FONT]

[FONT=Arial]They could NOT read nor POST in the “Members Only Section”, The “Not for Everyone section” and several other sections.[/FONT]

[FONT=Arial]So…… I see a “Bug” in the new system and I reported it![/FONT]

[FONT=Arial]Why do you criticize my actions? [/FONT]

Chris,
You have a non members posting in the “Misc” section.

That is not a “moderation” issue. The post should not have been identified for moderation, IMO.

We had originally decided that now that non-members are moderated we would let 'em into Misc. We have since changed that decision, so from now on non-members will not be allowed to post in Misc. Sorry about the confusion.

It’s better for continuity if we just leave the posts that are there. No new non-member posts will be allowed in that section.
