Why am I even being discussed here? The only person that should care if I'm post restricted or not is me. It's pretty sad when that's the topic of conversation on a weather board. Get a life.

 

The best part of it all? I was post restricted by a mod from a different sub-forum instead of someone like Earthlight who is more familiar with my posting style and in my opinion more qualified to pass judgment. It's not like I'm new, I've been here since the site opened. That should be good for something.

Yea you're right, well there's nothing notable to really discuss weather wise so they'll discuss your post limit.

This forum isnt all too bad right now, it seems during the winter the looney bin really opens for business. Minus some rogue severe threats, a few heat waves and maybe a tropical threat what really is they're to talk about seriously in between winters?

That also happen to me. Your restriction will be removed when they feel like you are making quality posts.

I agree he is enthusiastic and that's what keeps people reading. Hey we all have our faults! Maybe just a warning period to appease the ones that wanted it!

While there are some basic guidelines that can be given to forum moderators to help them do their jobs more effectively, there is nothing to do about the fact that many, if not most, people who volunteer to be moderators are personality disordered individuals. Some of these volunteers are narcissists who enjoy the sense of power and adulation that comes from the position of being a moderator. At many forums – and I have complained most recently about the Writ’ers Cafe at KBoards (formerly Kindleboards) because I have seen outrageous examples of this relationship there – the moderators are like some sort of gods who are never to be questioned and always to be praised and worshiped by the members of the forum. This is the narcissist-psychopant pairing I have previously ranted about – they go together like bread and butter.

Moderators set the tone at a forum, so if they’re crazy, then it quickly becomes a congregation of crazy posters as more normal people who want to join the discussion are soon repelled by their online activities or actually bullied off the forum because they are not properly participating in the mentally ill social dynamics of the forum.

As long as the core of crazies remains, the forum can continue to make money and that’s the most important thing in the case of forums that have advertisements everywhere. A heated discussion that turns into an explosion brings lots of visitors to their forum. If it’s bad enough, it generates discussion elsewhere online, which means more visitors to the site and more visitors means more revenues for the owners. It plumps their monthly visitor totals and if visitors click on ads, it increases their affiliate revenues.

So, these are the reasons how and why a forum can function with crazy moderators and equally crazy members and continue to generate revenues for the owner. And, what do the volunteer moderators get out of it? They get to feed. They get their narcissistic “supply.” It’s kind of like paying musicians in beer to play at your night club. It’s not money, but it’s something they crave, so they’ll work for it.
