It's Hard Out There for a Mod **

[Moderator-1]

I took this job because I believe in this board, the potential for good, doing good and the many positive opportunities that Perb can offer.

Between highly experienced, long-term posting members, advisers, advertisers and open forums I (along with mods before me) felt we wanted to help keep this place special and accessible to all.

Usually the job carries its own rewards. This has been one of the more difficult days, where it's going to be hard, if not impossible to satisfy many of our clients and posters.

Perhaps the biggest service you can do for the entire community is to think twice before posting. Your posts and comments are being read by hundreds if not thousands of viewers in real time.

In the short time that I've been here, I've seen so many misinterpretations, cheap shots taken at other posters and needless quarreling (often disturbing).

Generally, when you vent or post in anger you're dealing with a no-win situation. It may feel good to get it off your chest, but is it worth angering or upsetting another member or will it have some positive benefit or improve our community?

As a general rule, that post (and poster) will still be there tomorrow.

Hey, I've been a pain in the ass and have been banned twice and I don't take it personally one bit. Pay this dude a shit load of money, then demand he do a perfect job and devote all of his time to his duties on here. Otherwise i don't think people should have much to complain about.

How can you not take banning personally? It's not like something that randomly happenes to you like getting hit with bird shit.

The purpose of a ban is to send the message to the person who was banned and to everyone else that certain behavior can not be tolerated.

If everyone was allowed to insult anyone anytime and post personal info about others PERB wouldn't survive the week. It would be like the wild West. A moderator's job is not an easy one sometimes, but someone's got to do it and if something's worth doing, it's worth doing well.

Unfortunately the system is failing if someone with a consistant track record of insulting other members to the point of 2 bans hasn't learned to be a respectful part of this community. Fresh out of perbatory and he escalates to posting private information and sending abusive PM's. Sad.
