OUR ADMINS & MODS KICK ASS
Edited on Wed Jan-24-07 06:37 PM by jgraz
This is not just because the block function went away, but mostly due to how you all handled it. This is currently the ONLY board I post on and it's due in large part to the way it's administered.

Thank you all for doing such a great job and for building such a wonderful community for us all.

(And yes, I would have posted this even if y'all decided to keep the blocks)

1. Agreed...
They tried to solve a problem, and were responsive to people's feedback. Can't really ask for anything more than that.

6. Agreed!
The administration and moderation of this board is admirable, DU is the best forum on the "internets", imo.

10. Bar none, this is the best discussion forum
I have ever seen. And I'm not limiting that to just politics boards. The admins here are SUPERB.

15. I agree.
Personal attacks and bad grammar are heavy on every other board I have been on. DU does a good job of dealing with it. That's a major reason why the block function was unnecessary.

12. Once again...
Romeo make the right call. (For those who don't know, Romeo makes all the tough decisions around here) ;-)

He's small, yes, but WAY nasty, when he has to be. Cruel but fair.

13. And I didn't even get an opportunity to block anyone!
That was quick! I'm glad the feature went away. I think the ignore feature is good enough. The block feature was probably a moderator nightmare.

14. DU is successful because of what it is.

I believe that most people trust the mods. I sure do. There was resistance because it wasn't really unnecessary. The mods do a good job. The addition of the greatest page went a long way towards Skinners goals as well.

I still think they should consider the Something Awful idea with temporary bans and a "Lepers Colony." That's a nice compromise.
