Default Re: Question? InsightCentral

Perhaps I was a bit harsh about the other site. Of course, it's easier to be frustrated when a site is mostly excellent, but has a couple of areas that needs a lot of work (i.e. moderating) as opposed to a site that is generally mediocre.

They seem to want to be an online technical manual, so there's very little about the most reliable Honda I've had (4th one) that has not already been posted there.

As a pet site moderator, I get feedback that I'm stern, and I only remove remove posts that are lacking in civility, responsible pet care, or spam. I communicate that clearly publically and privately. On that other site, thread-locking is generally done without explaination. Brief tangents, related-topics that are not quite Insight-related, and the mention of many current events topics are treated as troll-bait - locked. Those that know me are aware my mildly political injections are for the general population to take the envirnoment seriously - not to adopt a particular party line.

It was about the third time over two years that site got lock-happy. It's just not fun having to proofread posts several times and then the thread might get locked anyway when another member fails to dot the i - cross the t.

Thank you for allowing me to speak. I've pretty much said my peace. On to more pleasant things....
