There's a moderator on LS whose posts are kinda mean, somewhat scalding. I thought the LS moderators were "around" to act as just that, moderators...although I will admit that there are a couple who provide very helpful, insightful, therapeutic advice. But I'm actually afraid now to post what might be considered "stupid" posts for fear that this one moderator will strike and attack.

Anyone else seen this?

A couple of mods have kinda dry senses of humour. They aren't mean. I've been around ages and I've yet to see any of them be actually mean.

And personal attacks are never allowed - it's right in the rules.

Maybe re-read the post(s) in question again and see it from a different angle. I've not seen a moderator be rude or mean. Part of their jobs as mods are to make sure us LS'ers are not mean and rude to others, that is why they edit or delete posts.

Hi JenDoe:

I think it's always good to give examples when making charges like this. Find moderators' posts you feel are mean or mean-spirited and put the links up here for people to see some examples. Or, better yet, report them. If they are offensive to you, hit the report button and the top bananas of the site will see just what you are trying to communicate.

JenDoe,

Thank you for your comments. Moderators are primarily responsible for ensuring that the environment at LoveShack.org promotes participation in self-discovery and responsibility, encourage collaboration between community participants on romantic and platonic interpersonal relationship issues, and to answer questions sent to us through our Contact Us link. Perhaps "moderator" isn't the best term to use, as occasionally some moderators may find their participation to exceed that of an arbitrator.

If you feel that postings by a particular moderator have been inappropriate while contributing to the site, please get in touch with us regarding the issue by reporting the post(s) in question. Post reports are viewable by all moderators and I will be sure to review any concerns regarding posts by moderators personally.

I appreciate your feedback and look forward to reviewing your post reports.

Best wishes,
Paul
