How about the feelings or hurt of the people you speak up against? They deserve admonishment from those who see themselves as being without any faults? Why not just report any post that breaks a rule or offer some thought of one's own instead of overstepping the mod, who as you said, does a great job without our help. I don't think anyone knows anyone else's intent. One cannot read a tone into a text unless one puts it there. I don't know why some feel it is necessary to speak up when the little triangle can be pushed and the moderator can fairly and competently use her real power to decide the fate. If one really cares about the YT community they should leave the police tasks to the authorities and only report crimes (broken rules) rather than nuisances (not enjoying someone's posting style). |
You are inferring things from my post that you know little about and then use words like polite police. Being vesting in a community and caring about how people feel are important values for me; I won't infer what's important to you. One can have great knowledge but be ineffective at communicating it if people aren't able to feel support. You can post as you see fit, and I will post as I do within my own value system. If the moderators and administration have a problem with my posting, I will happily take their input to heart. Until then I will continue to speak up for those ideologies and people that I wish to support.
