I think the issue is what people’s idea of moderators job is. It’s not just about policing the members, that’s actually the least part of it. If you take a forum like Adafruit’s for example, they have moderators on at all times and they steer most posts to the information the person is looking for in older posts and marking posts that’s information is no longer relevant. The job is mostly about keeping the forum in order and being able to answer or show where the answer is located on the forum. There will always be disagreements and people taking things the wrong way, just the nature of the beast. This really hasn’t been too much of a problem here, the biggest problem seems to be organization and keeping veterans and newbies interested and involved. Just my opinion, but every time moderation comes up it seems everybody focuses on policing. Just figured we needed a different direction of thoughts on the direction.
