Quoted from Zampinator:Can we partially quote a text? Meaning, using their words, but only the sentences that pertains to our comments.
Absolutely...no worries there.
Just try not to grab things that are insanely out-of-context as a way to "get" someone.

Quoted from Carl_694:I am not trying to criticize a specific mod decision here, but would like to raise a general question as to the "can't criticize a mods' decision in public" rule. While I understand the intent, Doesn't that seem oppressive? It seems like a better approach would be to limit the amount of such criticism so that it's not too much, or to allow public comment on the threads that users create when interacting with the mods.
Well, generally public mod-criticism turns into a nasty bloodbath quickly. As soon as you put up a criticism....even if well meaning and polite....others take it as their cue to go absolutely berserk and bash with impressive gusto.
So, you've got to understand....we KNOW we aren't perfect. We make mistakes all the time! I absolutely try my best to be fair, and I work hard to do what's best for the entire group....but man, I can't say I'm 100% right all the time. (And...even when I feel I AM right, chances are that not everyone will be happy with a decision to lock a thread, or eject someone, or whatever).
Because of these factors...that's why the Moderator Feedback section exists. We welcome your comments, and we are happy to discuss issues there, in a non-public setting. Sometimes we're right, sometimes we're wrong....and sometimes individual moderators handle things differently. (I've said it before...we aren't all perfect robots). The discussions in the Mod Feedback section can help explain the various positions, and generally people leave with a better understanding of things...with no hard feelings.

Quoted from Carl_694:This will be my last comment on this topic. Thanks for your consideration and patience.
Again, feel free to open up a Mod Feedback thread...we would love to continue the discussion there if you'd like. I don't want you to think that we're trying to sweep your concerns under the rug...

Quoted from Razorbak86:I'm not questioning the moderator's decision. I'm just wondering why the comment below the moderated post is anonymous.
There was a time when it wasn't anonymous....
And that's when things went bat-crap insane with people making some really nasty, attacking youtube videos, sending awful PM's, and generally being jerks.
So, anonymous corrections were the better choice. Subjecting your volunteer mods to some insane abuse....that's rough.

Quoted from Daniml:Dan has too much time on his hands.png (Click image to enlarge)
This....was....brilliant.
Seriously.
Quoted from Aurich:The only thing I would say is the warning message you get from a mod editing your post is kind of jarring.
Trust me, this has been a big topic of discussion among us.
We're still working on things...and you know that Robin loves to improve the site. We are always looking for a "better way" to do things.
