Well squeakr as someone who has recently posted negatively about MY emails and yet has NEVER received one from me AFAIK I find this a bit rich. To put it mildly.

Your moderation is weak and ineffective and inconsistent - and has always been so IMO. Don't like me expressing my negative opinion on you? - well that goes ditto I am here to tell you.

You clearly need to seek the support of others for attempting to undertake the most basic parts of the moderation task and lambast me unfairly whilst doing so, behind my back, and even started a not-so-secret (now) thread on your own shortcomings.

This was all over the most innocuous reference to a pertinent thread link in a post. Not another Flyertalker posted about it, and life went on. There had been no cause for you or ANY other United Moderator to contact me for months - and you know it.

If you or Chuck had the slightest issue with it all you needed to do was bring it to my attention, and it would have been amended (as it was immediately I was made aware of it) - not slander me behind my back.

GOOD and effective moderation in all but the most heated of threads involves YOU the moderator having the sense and manners and style to email the person posting and suggesting they might re-consider their post. If that fails, go on to plan "B".

If you are unable or unwilling to do so, perhaps it is time to toss in the towel and leave the job to those who are willing and able to do so?
