[QUOTE=bigbabysweets2000] \*Your mod? \* Since when does \*\*Cajun Man \*\* actually work for **TubaDiva**? In fact, last time I checked, they’re all supposed to be volunteers under The Reader.

[QUOTE=Rubystreak] How would it affect your interaction with the board if CajunMan explained why he closed pizzabrat’s thread? [/quote] It wouldn’t. I don’t care if he explains it or not. But the incessant whining and whinging over _nothing_ is ultimately deleterious to the over-all health of the boards. Not just from this one thread, of course, but in the aggregate. > [@](#): > > Closing threads for being tasteless or tacky is not a policy here; and if kissing and telling is not OK, damn, how many threads should have been closed throughout the years? If you acknowledge that the thread closing was an error, then how could addressing that error and explaining what happened be baseless or stupid? How could officially rescinding that warning be a bad thing? The thread was re-opened, so we know that “kissing and telling” is okay here. When the thread was reopened, the error was addressed. Explaining why **Cajun Man** was wrong serves no purpose. He was wrong. If he wants to explain, great. If he doesn’t want to explain, so fucking what? Why does it matter? > [@](#): > > Really, your reasoning here is a bit silly, because ultimately, very little will come of this thread, and everyone knows it. You could easily ignore it and let people ask their questions and maybe get answers without casting aspersions on the act of asking the questions. What it comes off as is apologia and sycophancy, and an attempt to shame/shout people into not questioning or calling out rude behavior. Why do you need to do that? I realize that sometimes these threads just turn into mod bashing, which is not productive. But I don’t see that happening here. You could also easily ignore **Tuba** ’s “tone,” and be happy that a poor moderating decision was swiftly fixed. If you get to bitch about her, I get to bitch about you. Fair’s fair, after all. > [@](#): > > And I notice you haven’t defended TubaDiva’s posts. Oh, alright. Everything negative you’ve said about her posts? “Are not!” Is that better? > [@](#): > > I think it would be a positive change in how the board is moderated if she admitted that she was snotty and cut it out. I realize this will likely never happen, but a girl can dream. I think it would be a positive change in the board if every single moderating decision weren’t strapped to a table and dissected with rusty farm tools. The amount of drama you people have managed to wring out of two innocuous posts that were _doing what you wanted them to do in the first place_ is both pathetic and breath-takingly ingracious. Or maybe that’s just my sycophancy talking. > [@QED](#): > > It is my understanding that TubaDiva is actually paid by the Reader. So, that kind of throws a monkey wrench into your appreciation. Although “Since when does **TubaDiva** work for **Rubystreak**?” remains a valid question. ---

[QUOTE=Q.E.D.] It is my understanding that **TubaDiva** is actually paid by the Reader. So, that kind of throws a monkey wrench into your appreciation. [/QUOTE] I have always read it that she has been paid in the past, and who knows maybe now, to do some technical work for the SDMB. If she is paid to moderate the board, answer emails, reopen threads, etc… Then that is news to me. And it what way does your “monkey wrench” make the assertion that \*\*Cajun Man \*\* works for her more valid? ---

[QUOTE=bigbabysweets2000] Thats’s really up to the moderator of each forum. Sure there are plenty of threads which are tasteless, tacky, and/or prurient; but once again, it’s up to the forum moderator. Keep in mind, we have had members banned for simply being too TMI. [/quote] Was that thread actually even TMI? It wasn’t really prurient, compared to a lot of stuff I’ve seen here There’s a thread in IMO now called “Ask the Former Restroom Sex Aficionado,” which contains pretty graphic descriptions of anonymous gay sex in public restrooms. That thread is 100% OK with me, don’t get me wrong, but if pizzabrat’s thread is TMI, or prurient, or too kiss and tell, then what is that thread and why wasn’t it closed immediately instead of going to 3 pages? Who would even be offended by a list of what nationalities people have had sex with? If this is a matter of CajunMan’s discretion, then his judgment was waaaay out in left field there. His post closing the thread made is sound like it was some horrendously offensive thread, and it was just meh. Whatever. Not even all that interesting. But the warning was pretty harsh, so I feel like I missed something there. Maybe not. But it has left me with a 😕 feeling. ---

[/QUOTE] From: [http://boards.straightdope.com/sdmb/showthread.php?p=5967763&highlight=modest+stipend#post5967763](http://boards.straightdope.com/sdmb/showthread.php?p=5967763&highlight=modest+stipend#post5967763) > [@](#): > > The first, and I may as well be frank about this, is that Tuba is pivotal to the operation of the SDMB and the SD website generally. I pay her a modest stipend; in return she takes care of a long list of tasks that would eat up all my time if I tried to do them myself. (I know this because I used to do them myself, and they ate up all my time.) Many of them involve what amounts to SDMB customer service. They are not the sort of thing you can delegate to a volunteer; hiring someone off the street to do them would be prohibitively expensive. I think that’s a little vague w.r.t. what is and isn’t compensated, and reasonably so, and my recollection is that that did not involve Moderation _per se_, but rather behind the scenes Administration. A fine line, maybe, but an important one. ---

Yeah an explanation is not going to stop any wars and yes the problem was fixed but how much information people seek out actually does anything ever? I can argue that there was no purpose to me taking the classes I took as electives in college that dont apply to my daily life and career. We’re just CURIOUS and INTERESTED in the explanation. being a fartface about it is just as dramatic as those of us who are ruining the weather on YOUR message board ---

[QUOTE=Klaatu] Ah, thanks Una, and how in the hell did you find that thread so damn quick? At least I have some memory left. [/QUOTE] I just searched on Ed’s posts, and he doesn’t have that many, relatively speaking, so it was easy to limit the search. I think it’s best to let Ed and Jenny speak for themselves; I’d be surprised if actual Moderation of the SDMB was included in the paid duties that Jenny does, mainly because she does a hell of a lot of things already that I know about behind the scenes. It’s possible I missed something more explicit, however, which is why I asked earlier in the thread. ---

[QUOTE=Silver Fire] Whatever. I think you’d be hard pressed to make a case against me as one of the Usual Suspects, if that’s what you’re implying here. You’re paid up, you can search. Do it. Otherwise, eat a bag of shit. Here’s a hint: the most recent of the 12 threads (that’s a total) in which I posted that included the keyword “mods” was last active in January of 2006. So… good luck with that. [/QUOTE] I have no idea who the “Usual Suspects” are. Nor do I care. Never bothered to pay attention to that shit. Now, based on your first post, it’s clear to me that you have a severe case of Tuba’s-Balls-Busting-itis. However, I in no way meant to imply a pattern of behavior. I meant only to suggest that since you’ve been a member for seven years, you might have seen this sort of thing once or twice, and know how it plays out. I apologize for not making that clear. **Sarafeena** , I’m with **Jodi**. Your irritation and confusion were warranted, and I intended no disrespect to you. . ---

And I agree with you again that the original thread wasn’t too TMI. I was just bringing up the subjective judgement used by mods. Sometimes it works, sometimes it misses. There are times when it’s fair to criticize the moderation here. \*\*Cajun Man’s \*\* comment being a very mild example of it. I’m still missing the **TubaDiva** vitriol, but that seems constant. But here we are, two Pit threads into a rant about a minor thread closing -\> reopening. Is this really where we want to fight our battles? Because like I mentioned, the us vs. TPTB really does have a polarizing effect, and not just us and them. It splits up the board community. If it seems like I’m being to soft and sappy towards the moderation it’s because I’m _trying_ to be more soft and sappy. It was a bad thread closing and a stupid unofficial warning, is this where I want to pick my fights though? Have fun. PS: **Una** , thanks for grabbing that cite, that’s what I meant to say earlier. ---
