Moderating Mod Forums

[drakeelvin]

In reference to the following post, it could have been handled better.

IMO the proper way to have handled this would be to simply have the forum moderator move the post to the correct forum and leave a shadowlink along with a brief comment that it belonged in the other place.

 

I run a small forum and that's a feature that is there for exactly stuff like this.

 

Two things stick out:

 

1. Clearly he's a new poster maybe he's not even aware of the regular forums, why not give the benefit of the doubt and just fix it rather than the lecture?

2. The lecture is now sitting in my mod thread and IMO that's even worse.

 

I appreciate your time and all but forums have that move post feature for a reason. Why not just use it and give the first time poster the benefit of the doubt? He and I would have both been better off that way.

 

Thanks.

What lecture are you talking about? I see no lecture. Are you being an ass/overly dramatic for any particular reason?

Listen, go ahead and ban me and remove all my mods from Nexus, thanks.

It was his mod, which was removed at request.

I think he was upset becouse there was some sort of flame war/conflict over at his/her mod thread, or something like that, but anyway...:facepalm:
