New Member Saying Hello: Banned From PSA Forums This Morning

The other thing that has always galled me is the fact that nobody there knows who the moderating team is. It was weeks to months after the fact that everyone became aware the Carol was gone. Now there's a Jackie, but she's got PMs blocked. So if we have a question, who exactly are we supposed to go to? Call JO? Sure, that'll work. The moderating team needs to be public and interactive. I've been on probably a couple dozen message boards over my years on the interwebs, and I've always known who was in charge.

Call JO?

I called him 3 times today. I was told on the 3rd call that he wants in today.

Who's in charge?

The last 'Named' mod I received an email from was Jackie. My most recent emails have been from an unnamed mod. Rumor going around the PSA boards is that there is a mod who is a member. This rumored mod is supposedly the one who gets things deleted in the middle of the night and on weekends and holidays. The conjecture is this is a well known not universally like member. I am just relaying what is talked about in the shadows on the PSA boards because people are afraid to talk in the open over there. I think you are correct. The lack of transparency over there only leads to background whispering making conjecture the only thing possible.

BUT who is ultimately in charge. Generally, in any business the person responsible for EVERYTHING is the boss and the bosses boss or bosses. Blaming a low level staff member is BUSH! (not that you were blaming anybody for anything)

Thank you Leon for making discussion possible here! Seriously!!!!!

David, I've been the recipient of one of those anonymous "stop it, or else" emails. It was a result of running afoul of a CU member who used to refer to himself as "we" and "us", but has now dropped that nonsense. I could talk long and loud about this particular member, but it serves no purpose here. I do not think this particular member is the moderator, as the followup emails I had with the anonymous CU employee made it clear that they were aware he was sort of a PITA.

I pointed out in my recent CU post that the only two employees that have publicly posted on the SC&MF recently were "JackieC" and "LauraR", who both started Announcement threads in October. Neither of them have their PMs turned on.

I get what you are saying and again there should be a lot more transparency on those boards. That way the members wouldn't have to discuss things in the shadows. And when they reach a boiling point and spill into the boards you end up with the President of the company coming on and publicly calling CUSTOMERS conspiracists.


But I think we are getting off the point here. Did you see this amazing submission! Its just spectacular! And to put ALL questions to rest Mr. Orlando personally vouched for it!!! That should mean something!
