About Forum Moderation
-
Ever get the feeling that two competing ideologies are at work here? WordPress seem to want the quality of paid support with the wages of volunteers…….it don’t work like that, it’s either or…..not both. Effort has to be rewarded for it to continue, wages or respect…..to forget that will see the effort dry up, leaving a stagnant community and a bad reputation.
I understand the idea that the volunteers don’t like leaving people in the lurch….which is EXACTLY the flaw (character trait) that’s being exploited. Take advantage of people’s good nature, knowing they will continue regardless…….what a fantastic community this could be.

Consequently there’s no incentive to make their lives easier by, say, not releasing new themes just before shutting down feedback for the weekend.
an unannounced, broken theme to boot. I have backed off from answering a lot of questions here for a number of reasons, one of which is the lack of thought put into Friday afternoon changes.

Yes, I’m not happy that they seem to do their changes on Friday, perhaps hoping that the forum volunteers will handle whatever shitstorm ensues.

Just a quick mention once again that adding modlook as a tag to a thread is the best way to handle an issue.
“This isn’t a wordpress.com issue so I’m not sure why you posted this.”
…isn’t. :)
Please make a staff member or a moderator aware of a situation by using the tag. Please remember that we don’t have forum police here at wp.com and by posting that, you’re trying to act as such. It’s not necessary.

A memo to the paid staff directed yet again at volunteers, why does this not surprise? If you want quality control over the support given you need to employ people to give orders to.
