Well you completely missed my point as I expected.   Thanks John for the brow beating.

'Thanks John for the brow beating.'
you are welcome Shaun, happy to be of assistance.

My opinion on mods...They should be people that have actual experience with this whole process and not be one-sided when there are disagreements. What I don't like are brown-nosers. You see them in all forums. They don't contribute anything positive!

Shaun,

Politics and religion suck! They have no place in these types of forums and I'm sure my feelings about these two subjects are much different than yours or most on this forum. I posted in the visa section on this forum on something that is false and very political. Yes, there are very isolated cases like I read on that post. I see this post comes from the new admin of this forum. Perhaps, my post will be moderated or deleted...LOL! It doesn't matter!

I wish everybody Happy Everyday!
Jim  ;D

Since this site is highly moderated it would be fair to explain this to people up front, so that they are aware of it.
It is extremely annoying, and discomforting, as well as hurtful, for people to have posts deleted without any reason or explanation.

I would suggest the site be formally placed into a moderated format:

Moderated discussions

Moderated discussions are discussions where message postings are monitored and controlled. When you post a message to a moderated discussion, it must be screened by a moderator before it can be posted to the discussion.

How moderation works
When you post a message it is not immediately made public.
Instead, the message is archived in an unmoderated state.

Note: If you are the moderator of the discussion, you don't have to moderate your own messages.

The moderators of the discussion read the message that you have posted. A moderator may either approve or reject your message.

If the moderator rejects the message, he can include his comments or reasons in the moderation rejection and the message is removed from the archive.

If the moderator accepts the message, it can then be made public

I think this site is going through some changes at this time, the idea is to open our doors to new ideas and members.I also think that the fastest way to run potential members and existing members off is to over-moderate. This site is fully capable of running in a civilized manner without previewing and approving every post. When people start calling each other out or attempting to instigate an argument with others is when moderation comes into play. To my knowledge everyone here is an adult and will be treated as such until they show just cause to be treated otherwise. The rules here are very simple and limited so that members can enjoy their time here. A simple rule I have always used for posting is " If I have to really think about whether my post will offend someone, then it probably will! I do not plan to punish everyone here because someone posts something that offends someone else, those cases will be dealt with individually instead of locking down the forums in the fear of offending someone. I remember one of the main reasons this site came to be was due to the over-moderation and censorship of ChnLove and other similar sites, so why would we want to go against our founding principle and become like them and attempt to control our members.
