I had an idea that may make the mods take a little less flak. Try taking threads in the private mod fourm dealing with old griefings or whatever, lock them, and move them to somewhere public. This lets members see how thee mods deal with things. If they see how things are done, it tends to make them less resentful of mods, as they see that actions are not just unilateral.

Um, uh...it's probably better that those threads DONT make it out to the general public...more than a few hold unkindly words...

Seriously, there is some information that is private. IP stuff for a start, and some of the commentary too.

Not a very feasible idea, although it would be nice to finally see how the mods responded to my thread full of poorly thought-out accusations against Gres during the East Pacific fiasco.

I think a lot of stuff might go through the IRC channel anyway. I haven't got IRC so I have no idea what goes on there.

Hehehe, you should get on the IRC channel sometime. Although you probably won't see me in there for at least a very long time...

We have a seperate IRC channel for the mods. Thats where most of the discussions take place.

I can tell you it definately doesn't.Actually they do talk alot on IRC. But on a seperate channel.
What? You thought they would talk about the stuff on #nationstates in front of you?

You could censor the actual personal stuff. If wouldn't be that hard to ctrl-h the names and IPs, then do a quick proofread to make sure, on a couple of old threads.

Perhaps so, but if we made that much of an effort to be transparent about the past, we would have no time to deal with the present.

The cases would have to be picked carefully, and the people discussed in them would probably have to be consulted first for such an idea to work.
