I happen to agree that the original "who is the best programmer?" post >was likely to cause problems, but at least one other moderator posted a message >where he said it was an interesting topic. A good question is, "Should >the original post have been deleted as soon as a Moderator saw it?". I think >it is *impossible* to find a "right" answer to this question. With hindsight, >I might have deleted the original message. But I don't think it's right for a >Moderator to delete posts just because they personally don't like them. > > >Best regards > >Andrew Williams >CCC Moderator > In a rather emotional late-night post I critized some of the recent developments here , nothing more , nothing less :-) 1.) Why did I say troll ? Troll because if posted by a longtime member the outcome could have been expected . The post was is no way to be moderated IMHO , just unnecessary ( I should have made that clearer ) . 2.) Why did I critize moderation then ? In no way do I think moderators should run around and randomly delete posts without being asked to do . But I _do_ think a few posts in the sub-threads should have been deleted even if noone asked for it as soon as a moderator spotted them ! And why would noone ask for it ? Because some of them were posted by the moderators themselves so this is some kind of "official" support for this kind of posting style . I don't want to start a long discussion on moderation , simply wanted to make my point a little clearer. Kind regards. pete
