Re: Audio Described Content
Liam, I hope that by "discuss", you intend for there to be an actual conversation between the moderators, because I think we as users can all agree that the email list you appear to use as the sole method of communication is simply not working due to the different moderation styles of Aaron, Jayde and yourself. I think that an actual conversation will help to make it very clear what each person's stance is on several matters relating to the forum. A conference call would also allow for some actual discussion, not the I-posted-it-on-the-list-but-no-one-replied rubbish we keep seeing, which just leads to confusion and discontent among the users of this forum.
Just as you as moderators and administrators have expectations of us users, I think that it is only fair that we have expectations of you. As one example, I think that it is inappropriate and unprofessional for moderators and administrators to be publicly disagreeing with each other on matters relating to content allowed on the forum; these disagreements should be sorted out before any such posts appear on the forum. You want this forum to be respected, but you cannot honestly expect this to be the case when you are not united in your stance. Another expectation that us users have is that you find out what has happened to the webmasters. Do you even know if they're alive? And if they're not in a position to continue looking after this forum, do you have an idea as to who will take up this responsibility?
This might be controversial, but I'm calling for Dark to be re-appointed to the email list (since this is the only communication method you have) to serve in an advisory capacity. I think that, due to his former widespread support and the lack of general discontent among users when he had this duty on the forum, he should be able to offer his opinions on matters of moderation, but he should not be allowed to make any decisions on his own; essentially, if you think that his expertise would be valuable in a controversial situation, you would ask him for his stance and how he would handle it. I think that this would be useful to help draw a line between Jayde and Aaron, who have almost opposite moderation styles.
