Simply put - picture the this forum as a football club.
Jason is the owner - Roman
Fireice is the chairman/CEO - Phil Kenyon
Poolman is the manager - Di Matteo.
Owner appoints the chairman and tells what he expects. Chairman
then hires a manager to run the show, explaining the guidelines,
owner's expectations and what's expected (results).
Manager then runs the team, makes selection, tactics etc.
Same here, Fireice is given authorithy to ensure certain
standards are met and monitor forums progress, see if the Mod is
doing his job or not.
But she shouldn't interfere with his job by taking over tasks
that are his duties like deleting threads, locking them etc. All
this is Poolman's job. Only if it gets out of control then should
interfere by removing Poolman as a Mod.
If she doesn't like how certain threads are developing or
whatever, she should alert him first and tell him to do something
or give his reasons for allowing them, not straight barging in,
deleting threads, locking them and banning ppl.
Basic courtesy is to alert the Mod first and let him do it.
Like football you can't have the owner or chairman picking the
team, choose tactics etc.
You are partly right..........
But the Queen got the power to overthrown any decision make in
SgForums...........and she need not to get your
permission.........
Forum is not an organization..........the basic fundamental of
running a forum already been set long long time ago(google
more.......)
Poolman is the owner of this sub-forum, but he can't possibly
monitor 24/7 on what's happening down here, that's why selection of
moderators is important, round the clock, someone had to
monitor(although sgf are a very slow sites,lol)..........
Even everything is properly lay down........something's go
wrong, the Queen still have the power to step in..........The Queen
don't pick this sub-forum, is forumers who are interested, open up
this sub-forum for discussion.........but the whole responsibility
of upkeep the whole SgForum in good order still under the Queen not
Poolman..........
So this is the different...........nobody report to nobody, is
rules of engagement lay down from Forum posting...........
