Get more people to be moderators..
Getting more people to moderate, other than T11 staff, can be a tricky thing. Giving someone authority to mod can get out of hand, I've seen it happen on other lists not related to magic (sometimes a co-mod can work, where their authority would be limited).
I would hope we mod ourselves, first as individuals, then as a community.
- Think before we post. I know I can come off strong at times with my posts when my intent is not that at all. I've seen plenty of reaction online to posts that werent meant to be negative but were taken as such.
- Understand that this is a forum. Its often times difficult to understand just what someone is trying to convey simply because we dont have that one on one interaction. It can also make it a bit more easy to be a little quick with our words and act / react from a place of limited understanding. It also seems a little safer to post stuff to someone when there is little real consequence.
I think the mods in place are fine. Things seem pretty fair thus far without being overly strict. In a community we arent going to all agree- thats just unrealistic. We should, however, have some degree of respect for each other, and, I think that the mods here keep this in check just fine.
As part of a community, I dont think that the T11 staff / mods would be opposed to individuals (who have a legit problem) voice their concern to them. From what I see, I think they would encourage it (mods, correct me if I'm wrong here, please). Don't wait for someone else to step in or step up for you. If you see something really inappropriate here, voice it. As a community, realize that T11 is a gift (as are other fourms). Its a place where we my be able to have more interaction with like minds than anywhere else. Take advantage of that.
Who is T11? Its members are. Without us, T11 would be nothing more than an idea. Help them bring their ideas to fruition. They
are listening.
