Apparently, it appears that I was incorrect!

As the initial attempt/thread was, the second attempt/thread to simply obtain a clarification of what the current moderator guidelines are has now also been prematurely closed due to unwarranted, unfortunate, scathing posts by members who again refuse to comply with the TOS!

Personally, I would think it is perhaps time, at last, to deal with these chronic offenders rather than to continually close threads of some conceivable value, no?

In any case, we are told that the moderator discussion has been tabled.

We are also informed that there will be no changes at this time.

Okay, thanks!

Yet can we please possibly obtain a clarification of what the current guidelines are?

I've wondered what the "qualifications", if any, are, as well as if there is any established term length or if it is perhap a lifetime appointment?

What, if anything, could lead to moderator censure, or possibly to compell removal?

Thanks very much once again for considering these questions!

I'm also tempted to ask what the established guidelines are now, if any, for a moderator closing threads!

Have a great day!

Thanks again!
