There are some who complain of unfair or biased moderation on LDSFF.. for all kinds of various reasons. Some even complain of 'apostates' or 'anti-Mormons' on LDSFF. It is fully my intent that LDSFF be a pro-LDS/Mormon discussion forum. This thread is not to discuss the complaints but to discuss solutions, specifically the future moderation of LDSFF.
Some decisions have been made that some moderators on the forum will be moderators over only the private "Heavenly Gift" area of the forum and that we will attempt to find some additional new moderators for the public area of the forum.
Now is your chance to suggest who you would like to have as moderators of LDSFF. Now is your chance to get beyond the complaining and actually offer up solutions. Please suggest anyone you have in mind or step forward and volunteer. I will take into consideration those who have demonstrated that they are peacemakers and not those who are inclined to stir up contention. Also, we need moderators who have at least some level of commitment to making this forum a better place. If you care about this forum and the success of the community and friendship that exists on this forum please give this some consideration. You are welcome to send me a private message to discuss this or just post your suggestions in this thread.
There are some established guidelines for moderators on this forum, here is an excerpt from those guidelines:
So, let's see where this goes...Moderator's should not participate in "baiting". In other words, moderator's should avoid causing contention and other problems which could then result in retaliation and inappropriate behavior of other forum members.
Moderator's should be peacekeepers. As moderator's we should do our best to set a good example, be respectful, tactful and diplomatic in our participation in forum discussions - and especially when communicating with others in your role as a moderator.
