And guys, remember the alternative. If Texrat quits, I might step up again to moderate.

Who would you rather have, Texrat, or me?

That's what I thought. So let's all try to give Texrat a break, and stop the incessant attacking and slapping the same old things.


Interesting point of view; thank you for raising it. It is indeed true that sometimes, blinded by the passion to stop certain things, people start doing those things themselves.

This being said, I disagree that too many threads are being closed. I would like to remember each and everyone involved in this thread, that if you believe that a moderator is going too far, you may want to take it to Reggie. Please let me stress the very, very important part of that previous sentence: you may want to, that doesn't mean you should and will. As with everything, parsimony helps everyone, especially those who have to manage incoming requests from loads of people.

@Reggie and moderators: Maybe it would be better if moderators could "opt out" of the alerts they get in their mailbox. I know that, in my case, frustration arose immensely from having my mailbox literally spammed by tens and sometimes hundreds of reported posts.

Maybe an alternative would be that one post can only be reported a number of times before the auto-mailing feature is deactivated.

With the growth of this community, some functionalities need to be adapted to cope with the noise they generate.
