Autocratic

sometimes i think eh abit close minded, not accept to opinions. but thats just me.

Laughing Actually, the moment I took on the role of a mod, I have already factored this in. What surprised me is why had it taken so long.

..... but you see, if I can give, I can also take. Go ahead and criticise me, it doesn't really matter. You are ONE person, and as I had said, I have more responsibility than being accountable to you, as long as the regular folks think I am doing a reasonable job, that is more important to me than making you happy.

..... and if I had wanted to shut it down, I would have done so the moment I replied you and the spoof (point taken, Lau.) Laughing why would I leave it open knowing that you'd reply?

If anything else, this thread will boost the rating, and by the way, I have also factored in that the rating will drop when I took up the mod role.

The issue with you is NOT a different stance, many threads come with with different stance, even within Christianity, you don't see them closed.

The issue with you is, as sillyme, said, a broken record. You keep repeating the same points and as always will result into a flame war.

Don't get me wrong, it's not YOU, per se, but the potential problems that you might bring.

Go ahead, whine about me... if it gets you off. I promise not to close this thread. Laughing

Whether I am doing a good job or not, I'd allow the other members to judge. I am sure they'd be the first to complain if I s-crew up.

Chin Eng SG

point taken.... it did feel strange using "clone" on lau 2 but at the moment I could not think of a better word.

Chin Eng SG

I predict the future the same way, a person betting on a soccer team. Laughing or in corporate terminology, risk assessment and risk management.

Go and flame the other forums like you do in EH and see if the statistics changes. Anyway AEN has already stated that there are closed threads in Buddhism. So your numbers are not too accurately. You will, of course, state that there is a better reason there than here.... moderator's prerogative. Don't owe you any explanation.

Again moderator's prerogative.... no one ask you to come here. Take it or leave it.... but you can't take it and you can't leave it, your own problem.

I didn't not use the term "silly thread", you did.

Exactly, which is why I stated while I have the power to edit, I only do so when it's pertaining to making a post clearer or more convenient. I also said that while I have the power to delete an entire thread, I have only done so on my own threads.
I actually don't quite understand your statement.

No, some threads are going against my personal doctrinal belief, I have neither close it nor condemn the content. The Benny Hinn thread? It is not going to the way I wanted, I do not want anyone attending this rally, but I have never said so. So please refrain from reading me and what I do.

Again, it's not about different stand, it's also not about your views per se.... history has proven time and again, protracted discussion with you on any topic will result with you saying things like "tat's stupid" or "tat's sillyl". The end result will be that the person that you are addressing to will be offended by your tone and will be very very put off....

Isn't it true that your modus operandi is famous.... Laughing and the name SIS is synonymous with "relentless confrontation "?

Petition for a removal of mod, if you wish. I won't stop you, because whining about it here isn't going to change a thing as I really cannot take your concerns seriously.

ben1xy SG

u want this to be like the other forum ah Twisted Evil

Chin Eng SG

Laughing cannot say anything else 'cos I'd be deemed to be "autocratic"?

no lah, it will not be like the other forum lah. I am not so controversial....and I don't date the other forumers.

Icemoon SG

which other forum? Rolling Eyes

ben1xy SG

Mad

what about the movie and eating popcorn with chopstick. i saw ok! Mr. Green

ok lah, enough playing. back to work.

And yeah, it's not much but you have my vote of confidence, EH is much more organized these days .. though quieter lah

ben1xy SG

you seriously dunno ah?

Chin Eng SG

Embarassed

SANDAL! oops, I mean scandal!

An Eternal Now SG

Threads are v rarely closed in my forum actually... but partly to do with not receiving as much flamings as EH. Personal insults, and 'adult content' like wat Ito posted.. I just edit their post so they wont affect the topic's discussion... and fortunately I dont have do that often as well.

edit: I just did a count... six closed threads in my forum for the past 10 pages... four of the topics are completely unrelated to buddhism, and one thread was promoting an unorthodox buddhist cult.. one of them (created by NT2) was closed bcos of personal arguments (i.e arguing about whether NT2 is flaming) and personal attacks that has led the topic nowhere for 20 pages though the issue is already completely discussed in the first two pages (which i think may be what EH is experiencing sometimes) so end up everyone asked me to close the thread

vince69 SG

Unker ... not funny leh ... anyhow scare people Mad Neutral Sad

Chin Eng SG

democracy lah.... if peeps think that mod is not good, can always vote him out, otherwise sillyme also kena accused of being autocratic. definitely not funny but I can't help laughing.

Chin Eng SG

As I'd said, EH is probably the most flamed religious forum, so the higher lock threads is probably expected, but as I'd said everyone is entitled to his opinion as to why the mods here lock threads. Nonetheless, moderators' prerogative and privilege.

vince69 SG

then how ... go back to the old days of the wild wild west ??? Confused

laurence82 SG

put a thread titled 'quality of mods IV'?

or 'chin eng had company'

Laughing

or best, 'normination' of new moderators, and lets have an 'erection'

vince69 SG

turn Lau82 into 'gorang pisang'

Laughing

sonic_16 SG

Let's say we have mac, kfc, bk (my fav), long john silver (my fav too), and mosburger. For some reason, mac keep getting strong comments, keep being in the media for the not-so-good reasons, is there something amissed with Mac?

If you feel that your forum kept getting flamed, perhaps there is something about the way the queries are replied, opinions are discussed, hence causing it to be flammed. Or maybe there are something about the behaviour about EHians.

Smile

laurence82 SG

oh please, i received threats about blending me, frying me, smashing me up, flambe, etc etc

but for past three four years all empty talk leh
Mad

Chin Eng SG

you know, I fully agree with you on this point.

however, I would not want to point out who are the guilty ones, whether they are the Christians defend our faith or the non-Christians attacking our faith. I have an inclination that it is probably both.

I don't know how familiar you are with the history of EH and how explosive it can get, and how, sometimes encouragement of "agreeing to disagree" is ignored simply because one side is bent on winning.

As I'd said, we encourage all to give and take, but not all non-Christians are willing to do this.

Let me say, that most Christians and non-Christians get along quite amicably until the appearance on those who are only interested to put down, under the guise of discussion. I think those of us who frequent this place know who I am talking about.

One can always tell whether debates are sincere or not by the tone of the posts as well as the language used.

However my offer still stands, anyone know of anybody else who can mod better than me, let him put up his name. As long as the peeps here decide that I am not doing a good job, I will be more than willing to step down.

Chin Eng SG

maybe the peeps here prefer the old days of the wild wild west.... let's not discount this...

so simply put: remove the sheriff.
