I guess we all have to remember, like many things in life, being a member of this forum is NOT a right, but a privelage.
Treat it that way and you won't get bent out of shape nearly as easily.
I've found the mods on here to be fair. As for some of the members.... well that's another topic best left alone. This forum is not the place it used to be, but that's not the fault of the "mods" per se. You can only work with what you're given.

I wish it would die too, but who cares theres only a couple of people in this thread stirring shit, most of the regulars are just taking the piss and having a laugh
"Sorry but the third option should have read:
Would it also be possible to reject member(s) who carry on in a manner that is not constructive and/or detremental to the enjoyment of any other member(s).
I guess no bodies perfect! "😂

Hi folks,
The short story is that I pay the hoster, I run the infrastructure and I wrote the software. The buck stops with me when it comes to AVDS actions.
Your posts are your own thing, I can't take nor want credit for them, but unfortunately, we have to be a bit careful until the defamation and other Australian anti-free speech rules are relaxed, which the Drag racing and Overclockers fraternity found out to their immense cost. As these laws are about as likely to change as a Frenchman moving from next door to a brothel, things will to have to remain roughly how they are organized now. If we get sued (and we have been this >< close, several times), it's me. Not you. Even though past actions have not proceeded, it's not about who is telling the truth or who is right, it's who has the most money. Lucky for me, I have none, so I am very unlikely to be sued unless future litigants have a particularly dumb lawyer.
So although I'd love to experiment with this experiment in democracy, I'm going to have to let others experiment with this "free speech" ideal on their own forums, not this one.
The mods are here to do an important and thankless task. I need to trust them to do what they have to do without fear or favor, and it's not just moving or deleting threads (which is actually incredibly rare), but also to be an active part of this community. Good moderators are here to mentor new folks, lead discussions, and help out technically, or help in their field of expertise.
The current situation is that all the admins and mods vote on folks I or other mods nominate from time to time. Anyone can nominate themselves or someone else. You're not likely to be chosen if you have a bad rep, even if you are here all the time. If you're here all the time, are a huge VW nut (or just help out a lot), and respected by most if not all of the community, you've got a very good shot at being a moderator.
I do check from time to time (about twice a year) that mods are here more often than me, and if I see that some are not, then I ask them to step down. If I don't hear from them in about a week, I demote them. Sometimes, some of the admins and mods ask to be demoted. I usually agree to this as mods can cause havoc if they're dissatisfied.
This system has worked well for the last seven and a bit years, and I really don't see much of a reason to change it. However, you folks are our lifeblood, please give us some feedback and let us know how we can improve. We'll have a chat in the Moderator's Paradise, and we'll implement the good ideas, or at least try them out.
thanks,
Andrew
