I have been a member of another tester site for some time. This site for the most part is un-moderated. It has now totally degraded into bashing
wars on a continuing basis. The bashing has now sunk to the level where posters are accusing others of being child molesters. I will not re-post
terms that are being used out of respect for this site. There are also threats of violence by a poster to another member who apparently lives in
the same city. This stupidity goes on for up to 30 pages in many threads.
I will not name this site here, so as not to start any site war, however I am aware numerous members and staff know of this situation.
I have seen this site referred to as "FtaPedaphiles" and the "Land of the Banned" (because the worst offenders have been banned elsewhere). However
this situation continues to this hour, and the sicko's remain unbanned.
IMHO many people have left this site due to this total lack decency, and it appears they are now stuck with the bad apples. They now have to keep the
clowns in order to generate site hit numbers. This reminds me of some apartment complexes who rented to government subsidized (welfare) tenants.
All the other tenants left, the only tenants who would move in were welfare types, and now they are stuck with trash tenants. I suspect this is
what has occurred at this site. And if so, I can appreciated the site owners predicament, and truly feel for him.
I making this post because I believe there are lessons to be learned here. I, as much as anyone, do not appreciate the "dictator mods" I have encountered
occasionally. But now having seen what happens with no moderation, IMHO maybe dictator mods would be better? At the very least I now have a better attitude
toward and appreciation for the mods. Also IMHO it is possible to for a site (like any other business) to sink into a hole it cannot climb out of; and the
staff is what prevents this from occurring.
Well that's my little rant for today. And again it is not meant to bash a site, just to put perspective on it. And it is my sincere hope this site will be able
to recover from the current situation. I would hope those replying to this post stay positive and discuss this with integrity
Best to all
