And we then have meta as a publicly available platform to discuss everything - including moderation decisions. It'd be very difficult for a community elected ♦ to go rogue without it being detected very quickly. | |

| Sep 28, 2011 at 4:28 | comment | added | nhinkle Mod | Key difference between moderators and politicians: we don't have corporate sponsors, campaign contributions, lobbyists, or all-expenses paid vacations to Hawaii. Or a salary - we're all volunteers. All that aside, we appreciate feedback from users, but your account has a history of low-quality contributions. As random suggested, you should take a good look at the FAQ before asking more questions. This site is here to help people, but consistently posting emotionally with feelings, and trying to evade our guidelines on acceptable questions isn't productive for anybody involved. | |

| Sep 28, 2011 at 3:16 | comment | added | designerr000 | on the other hand, i accept not being correct on politicians, er, moderators, not being elected. I see now that they are. | |
| Sep 28, 2011 at 3:15 | comment | added | designerr000 | thank you jcole for that information. Keep in mind that if it is an election system, then moderators are essentially a politician -- even more reason why moderators cannot be trusted (although, like in real life, there are a few politicians, or moderators, who are good people and can be trusted). | |
| Sep 28, 2011 at 3:13 | comment | added | jcolebrand | @designerr000 as far as "they are given the title automatically when they have enough 'points' maybe you would like to read this section? superuser.com/about#moderators | |
| Sep 28, 2011 at 3:12 | comment | added | jcolebrand | @designerr000 when a moderator is wrong we bring the question to meta (which you have done, correctly, so thank you for doing so) and then we make a logical post which can be correctly addressed (which you seem to have done emotionally, and not as something that can be addressed directly, we are left to guess at why you are upset). Thank you for bringing your complaint to this place, now can you formulate a slightly more coherent reason as to why you are upset with the moderators, who are tasked with keeping the sites in order? | |
| Sep 28, 2011 at 3:11 | comment | added | designerr000 | no they aren't "elected". you are automatically given the title when you have enough "points". think again. | |
| Sep 28, 2011 at 3:10 | comment | added | C. K. Young | @designerr000: On the contrary. Moderators are elected by the users on the site. You don't get to be one just for using the site for a while. | |
| Sep 28, 2011 at 3:09 | comment | added | designerr000 | "moderator" only means you have used the site for awhile. Does not mean you are not wrong | |
| Sep 28, 2011 at 3:08 | comment | added | random Mod | Thank you for being a part of Super User @des Your recent closed questions list just before the raising of this question leads to strong correlation as to reasoning. | |
| Sep 28, 2011 at 3:03 | comment | added | jcolebrand | @designerr000 ~ "Users like you are who I want to block" ... who's that now? The moderators? (those are the ones with the diamonds next to their names) ~ Also, you would go a lot further by using proper grammar and the like. | |
| Sep 28, 2011 at 3:00 | comment | added | designerr000 | users like you are who i want to block. how do you know the premise of my question that i did not state? You do not, because you only assumed what, in your twisted ideal of reality, makes sense to you. | |
