    Paula has made the ruling, that’s the end of the matter: I’ll nuke any further comments on this subject.

    ————————————————————————————————–

    Is this forum administer by one moderator or by two moderators ?

    FWIW It doesn’t seem that private messaging is possible on this version of the forum? But not that I have any messages I want to send.

    Since this forum is an ad on to WordPress, the IC can add a feature for moderation, and any troublemaker and provocateur can be filtered or moderated. Problem solved

    YMS did it in the proper way

    Two moderators Alma – Smeet and me. We are a team.

    The above statement does not look like that, it shows that you are the boss, it does not say: We have made the ruling……..

    Yes Almamater – I agree I’m not the boss and I haven’t made a ruling. I’m content that we can move on. Thank you Piers. I forget why some of might argue ushttps://youtu.be/C3_0GqPvr4U?si=L0CWiv20TLEz3Zb_sw

    It seems to me this so-called ‘socialist’ organisation is literally peppered with sexists having now been at the receiving end of patronising comments on several different occasions other than those recently meted out by the shitter-in-chief (the appropriately named Bijou Drains) and Almamater (aka Movimento Socialista).

    Another ruling should be made in this forum, Whatever surname members or participants in this forum has chosen, they must be respected, it is the personal decision of the owner of that surname, and most participants paid their own internet and some paid for their own private email accounts

    I have worked in forums for many years, with higher participation and higher membership than this one, and it was the ruling of most forum to keep privately the names of the participants, even more, we had an agreement between moderators that we should not attack each other or contradict each others

    I know the names and surnames of everybody here, but I do not publish the real names, I only use the surname because I grew within the Leninist movement and we respected our surnames due to the risks involved, we did not trust in the capitalist state, only romantics and workers without class consciousness and lumpen do not understand that.

    The world is moving toward authoritarian governments and anti communists governments and we must be very careful, we have members who must protect their families and their jobs in order to feed and support their loved one

    I do believe in the class struggle, I do not believe in class conciliation

    That rule should be applied to moderators too .

    1: Paula made a public ruling, I agreed with it and was seeking to enforce it, there are two moderators.
    2: Yes, we need to look into methods of contacting moderators, for now there is the report option on each post.
    3: WRT Forum names, it is bad etiquette to use a non-preferred name, or try and ‘out’ someone, and I’ll keep an eye on it.

    “2: Yes, we need to look into methods of contacting moderators, for now there is the report option on each post.”

    Just as a technical point for whoever deals with this. I don’t see such an option, only ‘Reply’ and ‘Quote’

    This is not the proper software to be used for discussion forums and mailing lists

    We do need moderation in this forum, it is part of the job to be performed by any forum moderator

    Moderators must also check the Spam folders constantly

    Probably this software has conflict with encrypted email accounts

    This discussion forum software has an owners manual and there is a forum which is explaining how to use it and it trains moderators and owners
    https://groups.io/helpcenter/membersmanual. Members Manual

    This is much better than WordPress, Google, Facebook and Twitter, and Mastodon is much better than twitter

    I have sent messages using that tab regarding my unpublished messages and nobody has answered them, therefore it is not working or nobody is paying attention to those messages. I do remember that Matt and Alan always answered the messages sent using that option in order to contact the forum administrators

    Since this thread is about Forum moderation and we are not going to be nuked. Here is the proper concept of Forum Moderation which was defined in another thread

    Yes, there do seem to be more tools there, however, for now we’re working with what we’ve got, but, yes, I’m sure the internet committee are keeping an eye on such comments as this.
