RSOF & FANSITES
Constructive Criticism Versus Whining Little Hit Pieces
I found it a bit disingenuous that CM had placed a thread in W&F that stayed open for only a week asking 'us', the RSOF community, for 'our' thoughts on the current state of the RSOF in light of the fact that there are 50 pages of threads on that subject right here on RSOF in W&F. A forum, btw, that is dedicated to that subject.
It is also a bit disheartening that once again it appears that in order to get our Jmods attention on any subject, all anyone has to do is go off site & write, for lack of better wording, a whining little hit piece on a 'fansite' that thrives on discussions about how awful RS is, how bad the forums are, that the Fmods are awful & the Jmods are lazy & don't know what they are doing. [1]
Is that the type of feedback the Jmods really want?
It appears that is just the type of feedback that spurs the Jmods into action each & every time. It also appears that what was written off site was the motivation for the placement of that thread here.
If writing whining little hit pieces is what floats the boat then shouldn't the proposal be put forth that the RSOF community be allowed to write whining little hit pieces in any forum without it getting locked?
Code of Conduct
The Code of Conduct was revised not long ago from a professional well written version that provided clarity to one that appears like it was revised on Twitter. The rules start out with 'Bit of a no-brainer' as the lead in sentence. Why not get rid of all the 1, 2, 3's listed & have a one line sentence like 'Be respectful of your fellow forumers at all times'. That is, after all, an example of a no-brainer type sentence.
The rules were revised again to what we now enjoy today. It appears the motivation for that change was because of what was written off site (that had caused, IMO, a major PR blunder) & not because of any thread on the subject here, since those threads were locked.
