Moderators Travis In Austin Posted May 8, 2015 Moderators Share Posted May 8, 2015 (edited) Was looking back at some old threads about people who had been banned or resigned or left. Ran across some good ones, and saw a few different moderators jumping in. Interesting to see how an engineer does it as compared to someoe from a marketig/PR backgroud does it. Interesting to see who was involved with what. Have to say I was mightly impressed with some of the comments of moderators. I even thiught I would rate a few if them, Degree of Difficulty on a 1 to 5 scale, and Style Points5 on a 1 to 10 scale. I am not giving an explanation why I am giving certain points, that would hust stir up more trouble, they don't give explanations at the Olympics. https://community.klipsch.com/index.php?/topic/92200-all-those-who-were-at-the-indiana-field-house/#entry1003245 3.5 DOD 9.0 Style points Edited May 8, 2015 by dwilawyer 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Moderators Travis In Austin Posted May 9, 2015 Author Moderators Share Posted May 9, 2015 https://community.klipsch.com/index.php?/topic/81888-parrot-cant-defend-himself/page-2 DOD 5.0 out of 5.0 (explaining why member was banned for life) Style points 9.5 out of 10.0, purely subjective on my part. These have nothing to do with current Admin or Mods, it is about seeing this all before. I think it is good to look at history. As Chad and others have mentioned, this stuff is cyclical, There is nothing really new here in my opinion, it is just the cycle we are in. Chad has a very high scoring one, possibly a 10.0, but I haven't been able to find it yet. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Moderators Travis In Austin Posted May 12, 2015 Author Moderators Share Posted May 12, 2015 (edited) Trey Cannon, 11 years ago. He gave out warnings about personal attacks, which of course went unheeded. He shut down the 2 Channel Forum over the weekend. He has a post in there about what to think about before hitting the post button. Degree of Difficulty: 5.0 (entering hostile territory after shutting down the entire 2 channel thread) Style points: 10.0. (Ignores personal comments about himself, gives simple and straightforward advice that any 10 year old would, and should know. https://community.klipsch.com/index.php?/topic/38878-2-channel-shutdown-overreaction-to-childish-flames/?hl=locked#entry351700 Might be a good idea to test in this periodically.

Moderators Travis In Austin Posted May 12, 2015 Author Moderators Share Posted May 12, 2015 Some commentary by Forum members about the 2 channel Forum being locked down over the weekend. https://community.klipsch.com/index.php?/topic/38826-banning-posts-forum-censorship/page-3?hl=locked Some comments about free speech, how relatively tolerant the Klipsch forum is about many things. Didn't someone here say there are only 3 simple rules? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CECAA850 Posted May 12, 2015 Share Posted May 12, 2015 Some commentary by Forum members about the 2 channel Forum being locked down over the weekend. https://community.kl...age-3?hl=locked An 11 year old thread? Many forum members and Klipsch employees have come and gone over that time span. I'm not quite sure how it's relevant to current events unless you're using history to establish a pattern?

CECAA850 Posted May 12, 2015 Share Posted May 12, 2015 Actually it seems that it was shut down due to personal attacks. I suppose that's still relevant. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
oldtimer Posted May 12, 2015 Share Posted May 12, 2015 (edited) I haven't seen a lot of personal attacks except for the one thread which has been cleaned up, and some others were deleted for being too critical. There have been some ardent exchanges of opinions, especially about the role, function, and performance of moderators. I think Travis is using history to suggest that the moderators are doing a good job while avoiding extremes, and that he sees them as necessary and beneficial to the forum. Aren't you just basking in the glory Carl? (rhetorical. not meant to imply that he is at all. actually more the opposite)((it is disconcerting I now feel the need to explain my style given recent history)) Edited May 12, 2015 by oldtimer Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
