{Airen said} :I've been told by former admin that they actually exalt in being authoritarian gestapo trashing willy nilly on their whims or spicy tacos or RAD or whatever fosters their acting out.}
I honestly think the vast majority of mods and supers are decent, fair people. I also think the final decision is not up to them. They have to abide by what the top dogs say, or hit the road. I personally think that a good many of them don't like unfair decisions, but they continue in their responsibilities because they want to help the people of TOS get along and play fair.
To leave because there is corruption at the highest level would mean abandoning the 'little people'; the ones they wish to serve.
However, I trust A LOT the sensitivities, perceptiveness and track record of admin types who were long in positions to know.
I'm not suggesting that all of admin has such attitudes 24/7.
I am suggesting that any is alarming . . . and if it's as much on the part of as many as it appears to be . . . then it is outrageous and horrendously hypocritical of sites that claim to be paragons of civility.
I acquired a kitten in August, and the world pretty much revolves around him. Home movies, and grandma photo books don't even begin to compare to what I would do with such a site! Somebody would surely suggest a limit on the number of daily posts one could make!
Dear Stephen, I don't know who you are 'over there', but I have a feeling I already know you well.
Ha! My prose style is probably as much a give-away as my handwriting would have been. (The infamous spider. I can read it, I don't see what the problem is).
Yes, it's a very mixed community, and there are still things I want to do there.

Dear Stephen,
I may be out of place with this, especially as I haven't spoken with Night Star or guohua (we're a team). You told us of a situation in which the Mods acted a certain way in dealing with the question of moving a thread.
I've moved a couple of posts and removed one duplicate post, so my experience is limited. If I remember correctly, I sent a PM to both of the posters asked if moving the posts were OK. They didn't disagree and one thanked me.
My thought was that I was raising the issue as gently as I could. If they felt strongly about it, I would have left it as it was. But we worked together on it, and that was the important point for me. I don't know if we'll ever get overloaded, but that's the way I want to play the game now.
(Oh, in your case, I would have suggested to the poster the various possibilities, which way I was leaning, and if it wasn't completely idiotic, I would have let him pick the forum.)
Charles
