Thanks, Bone!

About This Message Board
1

I’ve been involved in more than one thread here that complains about moderation in Great Debates and Elections, specifically suggesting that moderators moderate too often with their finger inside the trigger guard, handing out warnings when a note would do the trick.

So in fairness I wanted to say that since Bone has come on board, I’ve watched him moderate with a light touch, handing out notes even when he could have defended a warning. And I appreciate it. I think that his moderate-civilly approach improves the tone of the threads he’s in.

Thanks, Bone!

I’ll second that. His moderation is both quiet and effective. An impressive start.

3

He’s a relative infrequent poster prior to being a moderator too. Not a trait you typically associate with Mods.
(Not saying that a good or bad thing. Just an observation)

I’ll toss my hat in as well. He doesn’t stand out but he gets the job done and you can’t ask for much more than that.

I was pleasantly surprised, and I had already thought that Bone would be good, since I saw he seemed to think the same way as the mods. Taking a lighter touch is nice.

Sure, I disagreed at least once, but I’d rather disagree with too few Warnings than too many.

6

I’ll take a share of these free brownie points … Bone’s been great, no urge to mark him as my territory yet !!!

7

I think he’s been good as well, even though I just started a thread criticizing a mod note.

Thanks, guys. I consider myself successful if I’m primarily unnoticed.

Though I must say, I do have something like 6K posts in in 14 years. Not as prolific as some but c’mon, that’s not infrequent! I do have a regular job :slight_smile:
