Time for a few changes

of course people volunteer and give their own valuable time and efforts, but they signed up for the position and this means, even if voluntarely , the job has to be done in a proper and serious way.

life can get tough sometimes and priorities shift but that also means , if there isnt enough time anymore to fulfill the obligations, maybe some backup or a resignation should be considered.

I m probably not the only one who noticed that the current Moderators seem to be occupied in RL and not very present for quite some time now, thats no speculation, its a fact.

And to quote a fellow forum member :
yes i am biased based on my own observations having been a victim of (IMO) unfair moderation
maybe the observation Oli made isnt far off from the truth, maybe some might even feel mistreated as well.

I agree that the post might need some explanation to emphasise the statement but theres no need to make this a personal vendetta against another forum/achat user who stated a plain and simple observation nor should it be seen as a personal attack towards a forum Moderator.

everyone should be mature enough to be able to lead an efficient discussion, share personal experiences and thoughts, because in my opinion thats the purpose of a forum

keep the emotional baggage aside and we might accomplish something here

leach (lēch)
v. leached, leach·ing, leach·es
v.tr. To empty; drain

and no, I didnt choose the colour and size to make a poster out of my reply … just the best size to read 😉

  I can't really say much about this.  Not knowing the internal politics of this Forum.  And I don't want to know.  I am here just to speak my ideas and thoughts, if they are moderated or edited then, ok, fine.  As long as there is an explanation for doing so.

  I also don't understand the term  “easily leached”  So again I can't say anything about that at this point.

  But,  replace the entire set of moderators.  Why ?  Who would replace them ?  What would they do that would be better than who we have already ? I'll tell you.  Nothing.  In fact I believe it would be a disaster if all mods were removed and replaced.  They have helped when I have technical troubles and they have always been nice when I have chatted to them.  I certainly would have to think about coming here again to this Forum if they were removed.  But, then that's not much of a big deal is it ?

  I think its wrong to accuse them of what you are saying.  Why are you so pissed off at them ?

Word the Day: HYPOCRITE and just so there is no confusion as to my meaning: 

Hypocrite
(1) A person who engages in the same behaviors he condemns others for.

(2) A person who professes certain ideals, but fails to live up to them.

(3) A person who holds other people to higher standards than he holds himself

(4) someone who complains about something but finds themselves doing exactly the same thing

(5) A person who fails to practice what they preach

(6) Someone who hates it when people do certain things or talk shit about other people but they do it themselves.

This is NOT helpful to the Achat Community.  It is a destructive thread rather than a constructive or helpful one.  It offers no solution and no support and is strictly a bitch fest and a platform for grandstanding for those who think that somehow they function on a higher maturity level than others. 

The fact that the moderators of this forum have ALLOWED this thread to remain visible to the entire Achat community is a testament to their fairness and acknowledgement of your “right” to post your opinion, not to mention their commitment to allowing everyone to have a 'voice' here. 

The moderators are under no obligation to explain their actions to anyone.  All changes made to the forum are at their sole discretion, not only to remain in accordance with Achat's terms and services, but to also maintain the appearance of propriety and perpetuate the fun spirit of which this game was intended.   The fact that they take the time to try to explain their actions, whether or not it makes sense to you at the time, also shows their commitment and willingness to go beyond their duties and what is required of them. 

This is a growing community.  Perhaps a 5th Moderator would be helpful for everyone, or one or two sub-moderators.  The solution isn't to rid this community of those who give freely of themselves or their time,  but to offer suggestions on how we can help them do their job better.  Happiness is important not just for the Achat community, but for the moderators as well. 

chill peeps and have some fun instead yeah?

Before any further comments, I d like to ask all members to take a step back and let the ppl involved sort it out
we ll do our best to get all involved parties together and talk it out .
I apologize in advance to all ppl who are confused with whats going on right now , but would like to make everyone aware that
this ongoing discusion has an essential reason and its not to spoil someones fun but because to guarantee fun for everyone
