I think perhaps things could be cleared up a bit if we define the duties of the admins and mods. In all actuality, their duties are strictly administrative... as in, they are there to make sure that everyone follows the rules. If the topic starts to drift, the mod moves it to the proper forum. If someone is posting stuff that is out of line (rude, lude, socially unacceptable), they choose to either delete the offense themselves or ask the poster to remove it. Basically, they are "babysitters" (for lack of a better term) for their forums so that one person (David) doesn't have to read every single thread, every single minute to make sure that all is running smoothly.
No one ever said or, as far as I know, implied that just because someone was a moderator of a certain forum, that they were an expert in that area. Hell I'm an administrator! That would make me an expert on every topic on this board... and we all know what a load of crap that is...
Too much importance is being put on the title of admin or mod here. The moderators are only there to keep the forum running smoothly. The title does not imply any kind of expertise in any area at all... Does everyone understand that? And administrators are around to kep the whole board running smoothly. Admins (obviously) have more "power" than mods. And don't go getting your panties in a bunch over that! By "power" I mean that they are not limited to just one or two forums. They have the ability to move, delete, edit etc every forum on the board whereas the mods are limited to only thier forums. That's it folks!! That's all there is to it. Nothing more, nothing less.
There is really only
ONE ultimate authority on CPF... DavidW. He has put his trust in a few to cover for him when he can't be here. Those few have
EARNED David's respect. It's not up to anyone to question that.
Flasher... yes, we have figured out who you are. (Trevor sweety, you're safe...
) But it's a moot point now, isn't it? This was a rather childish game for you to play. And it managed to disrupt the entire community. I doubt it was appreciated by anyone but artar. And I'm still failing to see what his point is...
Bottom line is this... If you don't like it, then go somewhere else. No one is forcing you to stay here and put up with something that you obviously find unacceptable. It's David's board, he doesn't see a problem with it, case closed.
