Yeah, if a mod really wants a clean forum, then put a sticky at the top of the page. But there’d better be a good reason; i.e. the forum in question is referenced a lot by the community as a whole.
It’s not OK for a mod to just say, “I don’t like swear words so fuck off if y’all gonna cuss in my forum.”
What has @tempogain to say about this? and @GooseEgg? I don’t think that mods can do whatever they want with othrer posters’ posts. I understand that they delegate the job on these other guys, and give them some allowance for applying their criteria, but there should be some limits to that.
A moderator-friendly website. We think of Forumosa as a “Moderator’s Forum”. The rules are designed to help the moderators moderate the forums. Decisions about content are ultimately made by that forum’s moderator(s), who have paramount authority in their respective forums. If you wish to appeal a decision, you may email admin (at) forumosa.com or leave us a Google Voice message at +1 (413) 248-7743 – and the admins may then choose to raise the matter with the respective moderator. However, there is no guarantee that the moderator will change their decision, and the admins are unlikely to overturn a moderator decision, except under the most extreme circumstances.
