Is The Ed Ever On Duty Weekends?

[pastafreak]

Just wondering...

[Mamyalynne]

Rarely.

[dannyk13]

I think that he/she bobs in now and again, but not actually on duty,

[pastafreak]

As I thought...

[rockyracoon]

If the Ed’s not on duty, who deletes threads? Can mods?

[Mamyalynne]

Yes.

[pixie374]

I think mods can both delete and close threads, and obviously, posts. I think, they can't move them between categories.

[dannyk13]

Rocky, yes.

[dannyk13]

spot on Pixie.

[THECORBYLOON]

Mods can delete posts and threads. They can also close or re-open threads.

[dannyk13]

Corby, the ED re-opens threads.

[douglas9401]

The mind fairly boggles at one person having such power.

And getting every weekend off.

[pastafreak]

Under what circumstances do mods delete?

[dannyk13]

Pasta, usually for an infringement of site rules.

[AuntPG]

usually for Site Rules? not always then. I did not see the end of the Dawn French thread that got zapped but it seemed pretty innocuous to me.

[pastafreak]

And what if there is no apparent infringement?

[pastafreak]

Bite your tongue APG!

[dannyk13]

Pasta, the ED checks all removals by mods so if no infringement he would re-instate the thread or post.

[curlygirlies]

Who are the moderators anyway? All the sites I go on are clear who has admin rights. Is this a peer moderated site?

[douglas9401]

It was more of an undercut than an infringement I thought.

Top dawg will no doubt comb the thread on Monday and shed light if appropriate.

[Mamyalynne]

Perhaps an email to the Editor Pasta to see if she is willing to discuss the rules that the Moderators should follow with you.
