Re: mery piarey Canadians:
Moderating and keeping a forum running and a place where someone, anyone, wants to come back and post in does take a lot of work. And when one hears undue criticism about all the hard work one is putting in, from someone who doesn’t really venture in said forum, it does irk us as moderators. So in that case, yeah, the forums that we manage are our babies. If you see a kid in the supermarket for 2 minutes throwing a tantrum, is it fair to label that child as a misbehaving brat and criticize the parents, when in reality that kid could be having an off day?
Cafe is and has always been an open place where anyone is welcome to relax and not be constantly serious and be on point, and Cafe has a reputation of being a crazy forum, accepted. However it’s not fair when you constantly criticize Cafe and it’s environment without ever stepping into it, even for just about 5 minutes/5 posts. Even now in this thread you have come only to criticize what Cafe is like. What Cafe is now is not what it was like 3 years ago, and what Cafe was 3 years ago is not what it was 6 years ago. It constantly changes, and we as moderators work very hard indeed to keep it a lively, fun place, and don’t mind if constant flooding isn’t going on (which you also objected to, but then again you also objected to it being a place where threads go to die), as long as this is the place where people do feel they don’t have to constantly serious. So please, before you throw a wide blanket of distaste over a forum, go post in it, and then say something.
It’s ok RV, you can post here. We don’t bite. Much.
