doesn't include any thing about moderators..........i do think it's quite fair that since you put a rules for members to put similar one for moderators and by using reporting property to report about inappropriate contents on the others' posts we need to report what moderators do over here!

cause many cases happened and people ignored it

YOU are in Saudi Arabia... so stop playing stupid games...

As you mentioned here

As for the Multiple usernames, administering and controlling who has multiple names and whose access belongs to who, is way too much administrative work, that neither me nor the moderators will be able to handle with the limited capacity of time and moderators we have. We still try our best to filter what we can especially the disruptive usrnames registering for the sole purpose of creating some chaos. I am sure if you were in the moderator shoes, you will see where the problem lies with the moderation of the SDB.

multiple identities feature is not against board rules as long as owners of multiple identities don't use them for revenge!

what Dr.Moe did in that thread is questionable,,,,cause he -due to his job knows alot about people here and their identities,,,,,,,,,and many people here use multiple identities feature,,,,so,it is not fair to post information about some one and forget about the others! speaking about consistency here:lool:
and if he does not like that member contributions and posts i think he can discuss that with him with out bringing up his personal and private information regardless the other people here who track the others and know their IP's
i really find putting what moderator(s) duties include and what don't include is -in message board rules-so effective way to let the others here feel justice.....

Carl

I think the role of moderators is understood. What is missing in this context are the rules by which moderators go about their job. The ability of ordinary members to receive due process and accountability!

Let us say I want to challenge your interpretation of rule .. how can I do this!?

Let us say I am not pleased with the way a moderator has edited a post (any one) how can one engage in such a challenge!?

How do we challenge moderator inconsistency!?

When I have given offence or received an offensive comment ... that was read by 600 people why is my punishment or that other party kept secret. How do learn from secret penalties if the goal is to create a standard?

I think we can do more with more transparency and consistency!

Ps: Where are the forum’s rules!?

I do understand that moderation is not an easy mission but this doesn't give them an excuses to attack the others privacy!

what i know about moderators role that they do keep SDB clean and offer a pure climate enviroment for members here to share their thoughts and ideas,,,,,,,not to revenge from the others!

and if they can't be very neutral and impartial it's better to stop contributing on general discussion board and do like what you do! and the latter suggestion was illogical cause they are members here before being moderators but this is the only way for some of them(who can't control his\her temper)

*i am asking about standarization\consistency in the moderation process,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,cause there was a post in SDB main page couple days ago,,,,,and it was highly viewed and people did contribute on it,,,,,,,and at the same time there were a moderators were contributing via posting on the same main page,,,,,after one day,,,,the post has been deleted and when the original poster and commentators asked about the reason behind deleting the post the answer was that the title and contents of the post violating SDB guidelines:-?




:roll::roll::roll::roll::roll::roll::roll::roll:

NOTE:

Do remember that the SDB (Sudan Discussion Board) is moderated by a group of people who have volunteered to put themselves in the position of making difficult judgment calls. Following these guidelines/rules makes their life easier, and everyone's experience better. You can also report any messages violating these rules using the “report post” feature in the tab of each message, moderators and administrators will look into it and may or may NOT take any decision depending on the message that is been reported and if any violations exists. If you don't agree with a decision, you may discuss it with the moderator or administrators whose decision is final. The rules outlined on this page, above, will be used as moderation guidelines.

How can we discuss this with administrator? by PM system:-?

We need a consistency and rules about moderation job .........to know what's their job exactly!,,,and this will make things very easy for all,,,especially them

waiting for your comment,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,
