Anyway, as obvious, and stated in my response to Jeff already, moderating the moderators is a very delicate issue I'm not inclined to morph into Don Quixote for, hence may the case R.I.P. ;) | |

@Farseeker - sorry, hadn't realized your comment in the heat of the moment. Please note that this post hasn't been about reputation, rather about acceptable moderation. I've just read my question again and still think this cannot be misinterpreted, but it might simply be too long or nobody cares in the first place. Either way, the policy Jeff is now quoting had not been in existence when we (voluntarily) started to discuss how to deal with dev-tip posts in order to actually come up with such a policy - [continued in next comment ...]

| Aug 23, 2010 at 23:00 | comment | added | Steffen Opel | I never stated that I can't accept this policy, to the contrary, I stated that we'd even supported applying it, if this had been moderated properly in the first place, and the latter is all this question is about, as clearly stated upfront. I realize that you interpret your theory of moderation differently depending on context and this being a lost case for me therefore, hence will keep it at that. Please note that I didn't downvote, because your answer is actually useful in resolving this (indeed) meta topic by meta moderator decision - please don't expect me to accept your answer though ;) | |
| Aug 23, 2010 at 22:40 | comment | added | Mark Henderson | I don't always agree with everything the powers that be have to say, but this one I totally agree with. Plus, this has to be THE most specific, narrow SE site of them all, with the fewest active participants, where rep means even less than other sites. So what's the big deal? | |
