moderation
going on from the discussions about moderation in the sexuality thread, i'm wondering if it would be worth having a few mods around here, less
as peace keepers/censors, but more to help out, help people post images, make sure there's warnings on NSFW content etc etc, just to keep the
place safe for viewing at work/by younger people.
any thoughts?

i don't see why this should be necessary. we are a friendly bunch and have done a good job of self modearting the site. there is a section for
website problems where people test their avatrs and ask questions about this.
as long as everyone follows the 'gentlemans agreement' about posting dodgy links with warnings and disclaimers etc i don't think it
should be necessary.

yeah, this is true.
but then, some of the forum nazis think we should be censored, so i figured it was worth bringing it up in it's own thread

Agreed, I think introducing moderators would be opening a can of worms.
Uh, agreed with ned that is. pesky timing

We've coped over 2 years without moderators so far!
I hope we won't ever need them- I'm sure we don't need them now.

I've never seen the need for moderators to be honest. In the time I have been running the site I think I have intervened twice, maybe three
times. If you don't like a thread the 'report thread' button will alert me to it quickly at which point I will investigate.

good good
was really just an idea to see peoples thoughts on the subject (in the light of the complaints about nothing much in sexuality)
and i agree there's no need for moderation (here at least) as we're mostly mature adults.

Has the report button always been there?
I seem to remember there were only 2 buttons in that area before??? 
Think I'm going blind- too much flashyourrack.com !

PS Apollogies to Alan B who is a moderator, but you brought it on yourself!!!
Note to all: I really don't know when to leave well alone. I tried to get clever with the mods, then when they gave me a lifeline to see the
error of my ways, I tried to incite more trouble via u2u. So now I'm banned, never to return again. They should have done it years ago!

funny you should say that, i work with someone called wally who also smells of wee, and his breath is undescribable!
i dont think we need mods either, most people here are pretty restrained to say we are crazy enough to build our own cars! if you dont like a thead,
dont read it!

virtually all TOL moderators got a case of 'power corrupts' at some time.
In his credit Chris has avoided that situation.

There are at present 2393 moderators on this site, if someone is out of line, someone else will point it out and and no problem seems to exist.
If you can keep you head, whilst all others around you are losing theirs, you are not fully aware of the situation

Sorry, did I miss something? Was there a problem with the sexuality thread?
I'm sure as we're all sensible middle aged heterosexual men going through a mid life crisis, we shouldn't need moderating.
Mind you there's always the possibility that we're not I suppose.
So you could moderate but then surely we'd never know.
Just ask people to post all that stuff in the anything else section, and in the description just say "may contain explicit content" or
whatever wording.
As a middle aged etc, etc, I personally think the anything else section is the best thing about the site, apart from the (ahem) butch manly car chat,
of course.

Who's Butch Manly.
Has anyone seen one of his kits and how good are they? I may be tempted to look into a kit with a name like that, It's got to be a hit with the
laydeez.

P.S. I'm not gay or owt.

I went into the RSPCA office the other day. It was so small you could hardly swing a cat in there.
