I know I haven't been around, have a wedding to get ready for, prepare for...from time to time, I'll check here....yet, a comment such as this one is kind of irritating, afterall, we all do need to treat one another fairly and with respect despite their intelligence level!

As for what this thread is concerned with--sometimes a thread will be closed with no mention of the reason for it whatsoever, other times, a thread will have an explanation for the 'closing'.


Peace out y'all--

I don't see a reason why RoadRunner should resign, everyone have lives to keep themselves busy. Naturally Mods can't be in here 24/7 same with Alex too. That why there are several mods around here. If Mods is getting paid for this then it'd be no excuses but they're not.

yeah,Moderating is hard work. I have been a moderator on another deaf forum from my own country. I am responsible for moderating 'hearing aids' sub forum there. It is a volunteer job.I can now guess how hard it is to be a moderator in an 'international' forum ,Alldeaf..Respect goes to both ways ,if we expect respect from mods then we should be fair to them ,as well .

You ok or what?? Have a decent compassion and understanding for what I may be going through here...I do have the decency and understanding what it may be like for all our members here who tend to be busy from time to time, with the things to deal with, that can surely keep each one of us busy...etc.,....

For the others who implied what it takes to be a Moderator ( :ty: ), there are many times I have done things....by leaning backwards and helping out in order to bring about peace and accord, etc., and many times, it is can indeed be a 'thankless' duty. However, I don't hold that to anyone, afterall, life's precious, making the best of it is about what I do and strive for--I much rather see a majority getting along than seeing bitterness and discord with one another which surely can drag others into it. I think the majority would like to see that more often, of course, every once awhile, some of us may have stepped out of line, but if they're willing to admit the errors of their ways...all's good and move forward without having to drag it on and on....

As for 'resigning'....nah...that's not the case nor will it be. :cool:

Threads will be closed for reasons, that may be listed or not listed. It's up to the discretion of the moderator closing the thread. Ive closed several threads without giving a reason why.

As for the moderators, we cannot moderate AllDeaf 24/7, with over 10,000 threads currently active or inactive.

I work full-time, often with overtime. I am also in the process of getting ready for an out-of-state wedding, a regional softball tournament, and finalizing plans for an upcoming cruise. In between times, I am trying to get the 2008 AllDeaf Caucus up and running.

RoadRunner has a wedding to plan, three rowdy boys to oversee, and a house to get ready.

Vampyrox is probably stuck in Finals week in college.

Jolie_77 works full time, and cannot go on the computer during the day.

Alex works, also, and has other forums to oversee.

We may not always be able to get back immediately, and there will be times when we will not be able to answer - or not even answer a question here or there.

You are all capable of moderating yourselves - there is no excuse for complaining that there are no moderators available whenever you need them. It's just like police - they're never around when you need them. The police depends on us to stick to the law, and that enables them to go after the serious faction that are the true lawbreakers.

Do you want to be considered a true forum troublemaker? I don't think you want to be - you are all intelligent members, and capable of following the forum rules without complaining.

Think about it.

Both of you.. Thank you for waste my time to read. I made thread about close thread question, not about moderator's job.

I hate why thread closed for no reasons. I spend time to read the rules and nothing to said.

Let me guess. You had no idea what thread I talk about then you closed thread without reasons?

DIRECT ANSWER TO ME ABOUT "REASON"

Pardon me? Was it you that stated something about 'resign'?? And also, you're looking at the wrong Mod for that thread being closed. I suggest you PM mods or take it up to Alex via PMland. Maybe then you'll get the answers you're looking for.

My question is why create a thread asking for a reason why that your thread was closed, what's so wrong with using the private message? beside moderators have the right to lock any threads without reason is given, I've known this since I've been a member from 2003.

Oh, please... go and re-read my post again. When I typed intelligent people meanin' MATURE ONES. It doesn't mean that " so and so group of ppls are illiterate or dumb ". Gee - where did YOU get that idea from, huh ? And, who TOLD you that ?

It's not necessary for me to name names who left, it's why I use the word " intelligent ". Okay ?

I know I haven't been around, have a wedding to get ready for, prepare for...from time to time, I'll check here....yet, a comment such as this one is kind of irritating, afterall, we all do need to treat one another fairly and with respect despite their intelligence level!

I couldn't believe you said that. Sooo such misunderstandin'. Yikes !

As for what this thread is concerned with--sometimes a thread will be closed with no mention of the reason for it whatsoever, other times, a thread will have an explanation for the 'closing'.

Yeah, it's why intelligent people left...they lose their motivation or interested in this AD. Hey - remember that I said MATURE ONES ! It doesn't mean that " dumb ones or what ever you think it means ". Okay ?

Peace out y'all--

I am not close mind as you. PM is for close mind only.
 
I am closing this thread. It is serving no useful purpose, except it seems to be a way of getting back at one moderator in particular just for the fun of it. It is getting to be a bashing of a moderator/member now - which is in violation of the AllDeaf rules.

I checked the other thread, I cannot see why it was closed, and who closed the thread - sometimes, the only way to find out is to PM all the moderators at one time, asking for the reason why.

As for both RoadRunner's and my comments, we were answering the points brought up about moderators.


If you still insist on knowing why that thread was closed, you may have to PM Alex himself.
