Hey Terence

[MindGoneHaywire]

Looks to me like you have issues that need to be dealt with, sir. I can say, without hesitation, that you are the least qualified moderator I have seen. Most of us have dealt with far worse attacks in what I would consider to be a far more reasonable or sensible manner. If you actually object to someone posting in one forum, then putting up a post in another that simply says 'I put up a post in this other forum, why not take a look, that's a good forum, too, here's a link,' as you have indicated here...and that's NOT a 'double posting'...then my days coming to this board are over. Goodbye.

Whoa, this has gotten pretty heated! Lets take a step back for minute.

Terrence isn't trying to be some tyrant, he's just doing standard BB maintenance, OK? We promise. Please see it from his side. He's trying to his moderatorly duties and keep things organized, and then somebody takes it the wrong way. Then, before you know it, you've got a whole bunch more members howling injustice - it makes it even more difficult for the moderator to do a good job.. It can get really intimidating to have a bunch of guys bashing you, and you easily get on the defensive. Take it easy on ol' Terrence. He just wants to help out the site, that's why he's a mod.

The official "rule" about moving might be a bit arbitrary at times, but does keep things organized - there would be no point in having forums for different topics. So we have a rule. ITs just to keep things organized. not to oppress. we promise.

Friends?

I believe that most of us ended up being okay with Terrence's reasons for moving the posts. It was his argumentative attitude that got him into trouble. Had he simply explained his position instead of trying to convince us of how wrong we all are, all of this could have been avoided.

He became his own worst enemy.

Now, if you'll excuse me, I think that I need to go relax to some Porcupine Tree.

Eric,

The situation has deteriorated to where it is due to both the style and the substance of the methods employed by the moderator. Site rules are site rules, no argument. However, I note with interest that no response has been provided to BarryL's question asking why the "off-topic" book thread was allowed to stand. Selective, imperious, and arrogant enforcement of fuzzy rules will always stir the crowd, regardless of the other circumstances.

Having said that, it is clear that you, as Site Admin, support the moderator's actions; again, clearly your right to do so. As much as I enjoy the small community of knowledgeable members of Rave Recs, I choose to follow J (Mindgonehaywire) away from what RR is becoming.

Rave Reckers: Audiokarma is a salubrious environment, and that's where I'll be.

Tentoze,

Like I said, it's easy to get on the defensive when you've got a bunch of guys yelling at you. And when someone gets defensive, they can get a little rash and make mistakes. it happens a lot to moderators in situations like this, so I am asking that you guys just have a little patience with us. We're far from perfect. We know that. We're trying our best.
