    Beoworld has such a good Moderating team

    Many times it has been metioned how well moderated this Forum is. Well just to prove a point, I would like to give an example at the other end of the scale. Recently I joined another internet forum to do with audio equipment. Not going to say which website, but it is so over moderated IMO. Out of 7 posts I have made 4 or 5 have been moderated in some way. Their list of forum rules just goes on and on. It really does not make you feel comfortable posting. Not a good idea with a forum really. Anyway, rant over and as always thanks to our moderators who you really don't notice are there. Which I think is good thing, and the way it should be.

    Re: Beoworld has such a good Moderating team

    Not always easy moderating a website.  It's a very fine balance between leaving it to run itself, setting the spam filters to the correct levels, and 'getting involved' with posts.  Sometimes we get it wrong, most times i think we get it right. Our main aim is to appear like we're doing nothing - but i can assure you the moderators section can get pretty busy sometimes!

    We do spend a lot of time behind the scenes discussing, which most of the time results in no action - or action and a personal email which 99.9% of the time is resolved amicably!

    We have literally thousands of really great members on here and (speaking on behalf of the mod team) it's a pleasure to run!    On a personal note, i've been somewhat carried by the other moderators lately due to work commitments - but we've got some fun times and competitions on here coming up towards the end of the summer which i'm looking forward to!

    Anyway - Craig, thanks for your kind words - i'm sure the team will appreciate them!  Smile
