BURIRAM EXPATS FORUM - MESSAGE FROM MODERATOR

[Mod]

hallo all buriram forum member and guest   

I would like to emphasise some important point about the forum so we all can share ideas and express our self without offending others.

we, the web manages, have to find the fine balance between giving the option to everyone express themself freely to the limitation of offending others.
the idea that lead us is to give stage for everyone to express themself but we cannot allow people to use that stage for offending others or for manifesting offending point of view.
for that purpose sometime we have to warn users and if it doesn't help we have to ban the user.
we do so only as the last option.
as a new moderator I want to give a free stage to everyone and also I don't want to be a kindergartner or a judge.
also i know that i cannot understand all the slang and the humor of everyone (specially the english one )
one more thing for you to know is that I'm not always on-line. (i have my life too, you know  )
so its important that if you feel some users using the stage in the wrong way let us know.
us is mean, admin and me, the moderator.
the most important thing for me is to try to keep it in one hand open and free but in the another hand positive and supporting.

we appreciate your help of keeping the forum positive and supporting for the benefit of everyone

WISHING YOU ALL, ALL YOU WISHING FOR YOURSELF TO BECOME TRUE   

YOUR, MODARATOR

also i know that i cannot understand all the slang and the humor of everyone (specially the english one )

Arnon, I totally understand.We just have to put up with them.

I agree Candy but some German slang is so funny.
But the best (slang ) has to come from the USA if the rest of us could understand which country they are going to make democratic next we could stay clear ( or join in and make some money!!)
The Russians are getting good at slang words lately, like we have the oil and gas (Siberia) so fcuk off we want to buy your football clubs and rule all your hooligans for the future of our motherland.

All the best guys

Dont really see the point in mods really,is it some kind of ego trip,people will always have diffferent views and different sense of humour



Let it flow is a much better approach

[Prakhonchai Nick]

Another major forum has too much moderation in many peoples opinion. Whilst there is much to be said for Smithy's point "let it flow" sometimes it flows out of control, and ends up with people slagging each other off. Then I believe moderation is necessary, as has been shown a number of times here.

Keep it fun and non personal, then no need for deletions, banning etc.

[Kodan]

English humor? whats this English humor you speak of?

  I do think the best slang comes from us Yanks or maybe the Ozzy's 


  Arnon good luck with the moderation of this crowd. I think you will do well!
