well in the beginning we mods were asked by the membersthe post is still somewhere in the lounge. Mods were installed by the admins to let this board work well. If there would be no control it wouldn't be democratic either (wich it isn't now either). Post on ideas for changes can be made everywhere on the forum. It depends on the topic most of the times they're made in this section btw.
The team tends to listen as much as possible but in the end they will have to make the decission what's oke to implement or not. Reason is pretty simple, everyone thinks different about things so if some people don't decide there would be chaos and nothing would change. Mods and admins talk about changes, in the end admins decide.
Adjusting the rules is kinda forced because if we follow them there is a little group of users always pointing us out that what they do isn't explicit said in the rules.
This way it's covered. So we can do the job, wich we do in the best interest of the forum and do that voluntary... why? cause we were asked to and do it with the best intentions... for free. It only takes up a lot of our free time.. there's always someone not agreeing our decissions, but hey. If you do this as long as i do you get a thick skin
We need that, like now... we try to explain, leave a topic untouched and open for a few days but then after it's being closed, someone that had a chance to post there starts a new topic... and you can see some people immediately (ab)use it for jumping on it to start all over again... we explained why.. but as it was going totally of topic and everuthing was said people start to repeat theitr arguments so it was closed.
Everywhere on the net and in real life you need rules to prevent chaos..
In traffic, in life... are those rules democratic no. I guess you didn't set and choose what the max speed should be, i guess you didn't said that killing is not allowed and killers will be punished.. who did that, well in most cases it was a chosen governement. Did you choose all the individual members in there, did you choose the coalition... and maybe rules were made by a party on wich you didn't vote...
what has that to do with this forum you might say? simple, one day long time ago we choose to have mods and we needed rules. I say we cause back then i was just a member as you, wich i'm actually still am.. but a lot of you see us different, too bad... And we're fair and tolerant to bad some of the members aren't..
but hey again we said it many times if you can't handle simple rules, face the consequences or feel free to leve.. no one is saying you can't leave... look there's the democracy, youself can decide. can ilive by the rules or do i leave cause i can't... freedom of choice
