About Moderators

[Fljotsdale]

You Mods are great! No-one expects you to be everywhere all the time!

I have been critical of ONE action that I thought may have been hasty - but I have been here 7 months and only found the ONE small criticism! That's praise!

You guys do a great job, and I admire you all. I doubt I would have the patience!

The only thing I would say is to be truly impartial. No matter what the majority is saying, realize that EVERYONE has a right to their opinions. MAJORITY DOES NOT RULE. I've had good and bad experiences here. I must say that the bad came when I was expressing opinions that went against the general viewpoint.

General Woundwort's body was never found. It could be that he still lives his fierce life somewhere else. But from that day forward, mothers would tell their kittens that if they were not good, the General would get them. Such was Woundwort's monument, and perhaps it would not have displeased him.

When was that, Liliara? I don't remember that incident at all.

BTW, love the sig! I've been a huge fan of Watership Down since I was 9 years old.

As someone who has been a Mod on another forum, I can attest that it can be a very burdensome position. One of the hardest things about it is that one has to act responsibly at all times, even when one would rather get down in the mud and roll around with the regular posters.

I wish to say that I am extremely impressed with the Modding of this forum. With the possible exception of one understandable incident, which I myself might very well be mistaken about, I have nothing but respect for the MODs here. My hat is off to you guys. You are doing a hell of a job, especially considering the circumstances of the last couple of days.

Thank you Saz!( I've been a fan since I first saw the movie around Easter when I was about 6. Didn't read the book till later.

You had nothing to do with the incidents that I am speaking of. I must say that the Mods are usually VERY fair. Sometimes, though, when they accuse others of flaming, they pay no attention to the majority who are flaming for their own beliefs. I can understand this too a point, but if rules are in place, they need to be there for everyone!

You guys are super I'd tell you to keep up the good work, but I know there's no need

Thanks, Liliara! Yes, my wife and I read "Watership" about once a year. We always get something new out of it.

I can understand sometimes how it may seem that things go one-sided. From a human perspective, because of cultural differences, etc., often it is not favoritism, but the mod really not being able to see what is really going on.

Best thing to do is, if you feel you're being unjustly attacked, e-mail a mod (check which one is online at the time), explain your position, and point us to the thread in question. A lot of times, we haven't even looked at the thread. I know there's a lot of threads I overlook at times, simply because they hold little or no personal interest for me...yet I have to monitor them as well as others.

Thanks, and blessings,

Thank you for the information. I will take your advice in the future!

I am curious to know, heve you ever read `Tales From Watership Down'? My mom gave it to me for Christmas a few years back. Pretty interesting.

I've heard of that, but I've never gotten a chance to read it. Maybe this year I'll pick it up. Thanks for reminding me!

Cheers,
