Calling Dr Shades - Moderator integrity

Post by _Drifting »

Open post to Dr Shades,

On the thread "DCP Naming Names Again" a number of individuals have raised a very disturbing issue that I think needs proper, thorough and expedient investigation.

Dr Scratch wrote:There was a group of people who were complicit in gathering the information and giving it to DCP. One of these folks is a moderator here at MDB.


Yahoo Bot wrote:Ooops. One or two of the mods here are very untrustworthy folk, in my view.


Everybody Wang Chung wrote:I've also had issues with this same moderator sharing private information.


viewtopic.php?f=1&t=26675

As a poster on this board, a board that I truly enjoy participating on, I have a vested interest in the team of moderators (who do a pretty thankless task) being people who have solid integrity.

The above posts suggests that at least one of the team of moderators here is not beyond abusing their position. I think we deserve (and you deserve) that to be properly checked into. If these are mischievous, false and malicious posts by Scratch, Yahoo and Everybody Wang Chung, then I believe they should be banned for life from any involvement here. If they are subsequently found to be accurate, then IMHO the same fate needs to befall the moderator(s) in question.

I really like this board, I think it's brilliant.
But we cannot have a Sword of Damacles hanging over our in real life identities because of a rogue moderator. Equally, we cannot have a situation where moderators character is allowed to be called into question frivolously.

We, the posters, the moderators and you the owner, need to clear this up properly and quickly. I've made this public because I think as well as being sorted out, it needs to be seen to be sorted out. I hope you don't mind that I did so.

Gratefully,
Drifting.

Would you mind giving a page number on the 13 page thread where Everybody Wang Chung is claiming mods sharing information? I have no idea what the hell he is talking about, and considering I am being accused, I think I have the right without having to clamour through 13 pages of text.

Never mind. I found Everybody Wang Chung's post, and am waiting for him to answer what he was referring to.

Liz,

Do you really want me to rehash your posting pms on your private board?!

Don't feign ignorance. Liz, this issue has been discussed over and over and over.

It might be best to just go quietly into the night........

I think that you and Scratch should take over MDB and live happily ever after running it into the ground.

Liz, I really harbor no ill will towards you and would like to extend my thanks for your many years serving as a Mod.

I know you really don't wish MDB any ill will. Thanks again, Liz.

Exciting, let me get my popcorn and get ready for the fireworks! Being somewhat new to the board I'm not up to speed on all the prior politics but whatever happened it sounds intens!
