this weekend has been an umm intersting experience.

the CL's that we have do a fantstic job, however we can not expect them to be on 24/7, we all know that we need more of them, but how bout some moderators as well.....not sure how it would work.....say 3 or 4 from all the different times zones so that the board is covered.

when a new person joins and tried to put up a post, it should first go to a moderator, that way it can be removed if it is a direct attack on anyone. the moderators would control that side of it....after the person has been here for say 2 weeks after thier initial post then they get off probation...

any thoughts on this?

was thinking if there is enough support, writing a formal email to DS new owners asking them to take this possibility into consideration.

" or, maybe community leaders who have the time , or give those we have, more time to moderate the threads having problems. I think Kitter makes a great moderator. "

" I like IDK's suggestion, but yes i agree - nearly everyone who has been here for at least a year has been reported at some point. Even if the reports were invalid, DS lets anyone report anyone for anything so at some point, almost everyone gets reported.

I do think more CL's are needed and definitely in different time zones. At this point I think a CL from UK or Aussie time zone would be a big help. "

" I think the combination of more CLs in different time zones, "probation period" or maybe filtering certain words so the posts won't even show up would help a lot. xo "

" This definetely sounds like a good start. The only thing with moderators that worry me..is I know that they can tell an attack post..but there are many people here who express themselves and show anger. It isnt directed toward anyone..but it is how they express themselves. Honestly...people who are attacked here...as you were terribly harassed...need to realize just how special they are and that opinions of someone sick and twisted dont matter. They are the ones that look like arses at the end of the day and the attacked...end up with more friends than they started with. "
