Added on July 20, 2009, 4:50 amOthers have replied the rest of your post, but I just wish to address the above:

No, its not that easy.

Maybe they can add another entry to the FAQ "Why should I read the R&R and FAQ?"

whats the point?

It would just be the same as the FAQ. So therefore, read R&R 1st before you do anything. We're not babysitters to keep on reminding all about what is in the R&R.

Hi..

My honest opinion.. Upon registering the account, i believe, most of us just tick the agree item without read it. After registration success..most of us dont read the FAQ's.

So..no point to argue. The mod's team decided.

yeah...once agreed on the T&C

what rights does these whiners have to say otherwise?

ROFL

They think they are right...so they do defense even though they are wrong. I'm wondering..Se7en had say that he already tired to go to police station for investigation on the case on this forum regarding pirate item (already forget what kind of case)

lol stop using the volunteering as an excuse.
as they 'voluenteer' to be a mod, they already aware challenges n 'burden' that awaits them, so stop using that 'volunteering' word.
lol.



and user/member upon sign up, should aware too what they already agreed to the T&C.

btw, the 'close thread without notify the thread owner' is a new thing that born from this discussion, so this thread has its own good.

No boy, we don't volunteer to be a Moderator just like how you volunteered yourself to be a prick else everyone here is a Moderator considering being a moderator is just "Hey, I don't mind volunteering myself to be a Mod". It doesn't go that way.

We volunteered to contribute to the forum and therefore we are awarded as a Moderator based on our voluntary contribution and we continued to moderate the forum on voluntary basis.

if you park your car at non-designated parking space. does DBKL officer wait for you and tell you to move the car? or do they fine you straight?

same logic applies here. rules are stated, if you break it, we act on it IF we see it or when it is convenient.

I just love members who assume that they are the centre of the universe in the forum... Like earlier in this thread someone suggested (Or rather demanded) that mods should PM EVERY user/offender when a new rule is made. What kind of rubbish expectation is that?

As goldfries pointed out, we're here to enforce the rules of the forum, not molly coddle offenders.

PS. We are moderating the forums as a volunteer service... Not a full-time job. Obviously the forum can't expect us to dedicate our entire lives to it. Unless you want to start paying us a salary? At the same time, we're not using it as an excuse for not handling our moderating duties... Just that don't expect us to put it at the centre of our lives.

Hmmm.... Interesting threads... Now that lots of things have been clarified... and hopefully the dust have settled down too... Lets move on ya...

Please, we don't go volunteer as the way you mentioned. At least we don't go approaching the Admin and tell them, "Hi, I want to volunteer to be a moderator. " And no, they don't approve us in such way too. We are chosen based on the knowledge and contribution we made to the certain sections.
What we meant by volunteering here is, we accepted the offer by the Admin and do it on voluntarily basis as we are not paid by LYN.

Stop your assumption and sarcasm, they don't work here.

Maybe such mechanism can be coded to perform the following:

upon registration ..

1) rules and regulation is shown
2) timer started
3) depend on the length of the R & R , "kindly" ask user to go through the R & R.
4) If that user decides to skip it and click on activate before the timer ends, display a sarcastic message letting him know the consequences of not going through the R & R

so to sum up,

1) ts angry and frustated his thread being closed WITHOUT any notification.

2) the announcement about lots of thread getting axed that day being add one day b4 ts complaint here. obviously he didn't read that and i bet lots of members too including me. we didn't know about the new announcement and we are not alert about that. our fault BUT if there is system to make members aware of the new rule, it will be nice.

3) rbr released the new faq policy regarding why 'mods didn't pm thread owner etc', thats a good one, let's hope members are aware about this.(this is not sarcasm)

4) DBKL for sure will fine u straight when you park at non designated area, even they sometime will tow your car away. BUT they did leave summons ticket so the car owner will aware about this.

5) so hopefully members are now aware of this newly enhanced policy and discussion is over perhaps.

Thanks

p/s: thanks for clarifying the volunteer part. now i will now not touch that issue anymore, hopefully other members too

I think as users of a forum, free or paid, all shud be aware of the T&Cs and adhere to it.
Mods or admins (paid or voluntary) shud also carry out duties based on operating procedures in a consistent manner.
In a virtual environment where the human face is not seen, or the voice is not heard, lots of misunderstanding can happen.

As a suggestion, we can put the deleted thread to a specific area eg. Recycle bin, and state the reasons for doing so.
Thread starter can then reflect, and correct their actions and PM mods/admins for reinstatement. HTH

so many moderator feel so deeply about this.
so i will lump it out in a nut shell.

In this world there is no such thing as a Free Service. And Lyn is one of those rare websites that provides free service.

When u pay 1 cent for something, expect 1 cent quality.
dont expect some red carpet treatment.

so what if ur thread is deleted. Does it cost you anything? you may say it cost u time to upload/type/prepare but its free advertising.

nelson,

Sorry to read about this happening to you. I was searching for your thread high and low and noticed this thread. Hopefully your old thread can be revived soon after removing the unnecessary stuff

LYN is the 1st forum that I participate. I am really a newbie here.

My point is, when I join this forum, I thought I will become part of community where we help each other. So, to stop our colleague from promoting his business is not a nice act. But of course, to do a business which caused our other colleague in trouble not nice either.

So wat important is C.O.M.M.U.N.I.C.A.T.E!!!

Mr Nelson...does this mean you can't reopen your shop?
