I would agree in instances like when 404 acted like a petulant child, but what about an honest disagreement over a fact? --- End quote --- You're absolutely right. Perhaps having the Vendor-Moderated Vendor thread with a non-partisan discussion thread linked in the main post? I'm just spitballing here, but I've seen this done on other forums. --- End quote --- What about the "Talk" pages that Wikipedia has? |
| PL1:
What do you guys think about this option? * Leave all vendor threads in B/S/T * Unsticky all vendor threads * Add one sticky at the top that lists and links to all vendor threads and provides a short summary of products/services This option would leave the following 5 stickies: * List of Vendor Thread Links * Free Items - Official Thread * Bad Traders List - Please keep it clean- thanks- * -MUST READ- LINKS: Rules, Trader Lists, Byoac Vendors, Free Items * TO ALL: LOCATION NOW MANDATORY IN SUBJECT OF *ALL* B/S/T POSTS! --- Quote from: Rick on September 04, 2014, 10:18:58 am ---I support moving the threads to a specialized vendor forum, and would also ask if it would be possible to make those Vendors Moderators of their own threads. This way, we could edit out commentary that is unnecessary, and keep the thread as clean as possible. If this is not possible, maybe we (as Vendors) need to change the way we update our information, putting more info into the Wiki pages, and less into the threads themselves. --- End quote --- Having vendors as moderators can give the appearance of impropriety no matter how honest they are. I don't see Saint going for that, even if it was possible to do single-thread moderation. I DO like the idea of more people updating the wiki. :cheers: The talk pages on the wiki are more for behind the scenes notes on where the page should go instead of reviews. Anyone with wiki access can edit them for better or worse which is why I monitor all wiki edits. Scott |

I have nothing against the guy, personally - we've talked offline here and there, and he's a stand-up guy - but are you saying you're planning on revoking his privileges going forward, just to stave off any future questions like this? |
