To keep moderated threads on topic, public complaints will be moved here; however, we much prefer that you contact a moderator privately if you have an issue or question.

I would actually prefer a more subjective component to the moderation rather than a strict set of rules. If Dayhike Mike makes a mild political comment & gets moded - that shouldn't be equal to blatant partisan attacks by 'johnny-come-latelys' or those with a long history of non-participation beyond antagonism & trolling.

Folks have to remember too that the threads that are easily found by a google search by family members or friends of those injured/killed/whatever are not going to appreciate the off-topic rants and/or issues between members of the board. In those instances, I'm all for moderating. (I'm specifically thinking of those threads, like the xc skier one from today... not anything moderated regarding guns or politics.)

Sticky: We show respect in injury fatality threads?

[Yet]

I haven't read the threads above, but just a comment. Wouldn't it be ideal if we could all self-moderate? As far as rules, how about just respect in general. And perhaps kindness.

[Snowbrushy]

Ahhh, in a perfect world.. My take is that the powers that be here would bend over backwards to not censor. Having 'Rules of Conduct' as some forums do isn't attractive to them. However, there are rules of conduct here. And some of them are unwritten rules. A few Mods have had 'Gotcha' moments with me to my bewilderment. I suppose that it causes some confusion/frustration for writers and moderators not to have set rules. In a perfect world it might be better to write them and put all of the stickys in one place for all to see under, Rules of Conduct.

This thread exists to keep other threads on topic after moderation. No need to drift this one into a general complaint fest / suggestion box. Thanks.

Thu Feb 12, 2009 11:24 am Moderation complaints Thanks, Apparently this thread is about a spicific topic in Trail Talk about a x/c skier which I didn't participate in. Sorry for the drift.

[More Cowbell]

I would like to moderately complain about Kleet. That's all.

[bobbi]

how do we find out which moderator to voice our complaint? thank you.

[captain jack]

Good question Bobbi. I cannot find a listing of the current moderators anywhere Tom. If you have that feature, maybe you could make it easier to find. If you don't , could you please provide a sticky with a listing of all the current thread police so I know who to bitch at, beside you of course. Also, when a posting is censored, we need to know who censored it. Not just "removed by mods" we need a name. Am I missing this info posted somewhere ?
