John Lee On: ExPo

Here are some of my beefs with ExPo:

(1) Too many moderators. Really, how many moderators are required for a board to function?

(2) The moderators don't know how to exercise power. I think it's safe to say that the vast majority of the moderators on ExPo are unfamiliar with power. It's new to them. They don't have the judgment to know when and how to exercise it. Take, for example, the editing of posts. Which is worse: (a) editing a post to make it say what the moderator thinks it should say; or (b) deleting the post entirely? And yet the usual moderation method on ExPo is to edit a post. I will say it again--these people have no idea how to exercise power. They're clueless.

(3) Criticism is prohibited. Yes, I know that the stated rule is that constructive criticism is allowed but bashing is not. However, I submit that even constructive criticism is still prohibited on ExPo. If criticism goes for the throat, however constructive it may be, it's standard practice on ExPo to edit or delete that criticism.

    So John, do you point out what you believe to be the faults of the Mcpeople as a tough love tactic to get them to change their ways or is this just a way for you to inflate your ego in an attempt to prove you are a superior person?

    Vanity is not a virtue.
