wait. tim out of mind is a moderator here?? 15 Years, 9 Months ago
|
|
obviously, i haven't visited this site for a while,
but is this for real?
someone made tim out of mind a moderator?
wow. apparently they'll let anyone mod these days.
this really blows my mind.
does tim punish you if you don't make an overabundance of inane posts?
does he constantly insist that he's gotta have more cowbell?
i've really got to visit here more often.

Tim is an excellent moderator, he doesn't take sides but doesn't sit on the fence either, what more could one want from a mod!
Fair play to you tim as you fair play to others

no, it was definitely a dig at tim.
that, plus a genuine expression of my surprise.
but that does not automatically mean it was rubbish.
it is one person's opinion.
if you disagree, perhaps you should explain why you disagree instead of being snide.
in fact, if you persist with your snideness, then i intend to summon a moderator.

good question, jackobob.
i have quite a few thoughts in that regard.
but first let me say this: if there was any lesson to be learned in the last days of the old pool, it was how NOT to moderate an internet messageboard. if tim were simply to ask himself "what would the old pool moderators do?" in any particular situation and then do the exact opposite, that would make him one heck of a wise and fair moderator.

now, to further address jackobob's inquiry regarding the old dylanpool.
first off, i loved the old dylanpool in its heyday. it was a great place to get information about the world of bob dylan and, better still, on most days, it was a place that made tears of laughter stream from my eyes. and the whole thing worked great as long as its gifted and affable creator, the incomparable arthur louie, was present and paying attention.
when arlo left, however, the place went to seed, and thus i blame arlo himself for the demise of his own creation.
in his absence, incessant flame wars erupted, in part because a group of callous sophisticates who were long-time dylanpool users considered younger, newer and less knowledgeable users to be a nuisance.
anyway, with arlo gone, threads tended to get out of control until arlo drastically compounded the problem by appointing two heavy-handed moderators who acted with bias, in secrecy and without explanation.
after that, the site was doomed, and by the time it finally ceased to exist, it was a blessing that it was gone. i don't blame arlo one bit for closing it when he did, but i do blame him for abandoning it in the first place. he need only have checked in once a week or so to maintain a presence, and that would have made all the difference.
do i personally share some of the blame for the end of the old dylanpool? yes, sure i do. many of us do. and it saddens me to this day.

lets just hope it doesn't happen here.Regarding the younger, newer and less knowledgeable users who were viewed as nuisances.I like hearing there views on the world of bob as they are only now discovering what a lot of us have allready experienced and wish we could experience for the first time again.For instance the first time you heard Desire,collected his back catolouge, started collecting boots or get to see bob for the first time live.
