Policy Changes: How do you feel?
Blaze:
Please, keep in mind that your moderators are people, and volunteers. Please keep in mind that when you have a complaint, and it looks like the Mod is not acting upon it immediately, it is because there may be discussion happening regarding that complaint.
Also, keep in mind that while you may be sending one mod six PMs, that Mod may have seven other people sending them ten PMs, and some of these may carry an opinion totally contrary to the one that you are voicing. It takes time for a Mod to read through everyone's opinions, read and reread the thread and posts involved and then make a call.
When I have had to make (or even simply pass on) a decision, I have had people who took it very personally, as if it was an aimed decision. I have seen that mods are working hard to base all decisions on policy not opinion.
The knee jerk reaction of some people is to be defensive, offensive, angry when they get told that a decision was made that was not in their favor (or just not what they wanted.) People then cool off after an hour or a day, and then apologize. While this is nice, it really doesn't change the fact that while a Mod is trying to help keep the board functioning, in addition to the TCB PMs, we have to read through the venting PMs, as well as do the job...
Venting is fine. May I suggest this? Write your venting PMs and hang on to them for 24 hours. After that, if you still feel the need to send them to the Mod you took exception to, do so. I think you may find that holding off puts things in perspective.
And if you really think a Mod is not behaving properly, do tell Ashton or Iago! Because, all the mods are people... and people are fallible.

Yeah.
I deserved that.
OnlyElise:
You totally did.
Paynesgrey:
This is why our wedding was referred to as Operation Yes Dear.
Katty:
So if we have complaints on your modding, PG, we send them to onlyelise? ;D
