dkryan - Well, first, my post was off topic, but I was responding to a post on the price paid for this ammo. So, yeah, OT, but...
Next, I think your post is a bit off-topic, don’t you? It’s about moderating, right? not ammo, or Winchester ammo...so...by definition, OT.
You’re not going to win over a mod by publicly criticizing his/her decision. A PM discussion is a lot more likely to be fruitful, so, are you expressing frustration? Or are you trying to get a change in moderating?
Because I looked at the posts that he deleted, and you know what, I agree completely with his decisions. One was bickering, one was a political statement. And those aren’t really germane, or, even allowed. It was a good call on his part, I would’ve done the same.
So, your position on me - agreed.
Your position on another moderator? Unwarranted.
As a general rule, if you don’t like a person’s decisions, bringing it up in public isn’t going to be effective. Report the post (which will send it to all moderators) and let a fresh set of eyes take a look.
I’ve reversed my own decisions if presented with well-reasoned, dispassionate argument. But a public argument, or a post filled criticism of my decision, is going to put me on the defensive, and really, that’s going to harden my position, not make me amenable to changing it.
And now, I’m genuinely off-topic, way, way, off-topic, but I hope it helps.
TL;DR - I agree with some of what you said about me, but M56959 made good calls.
Cheers,
Astro
