Re: Moderators / Xhris dispute
I've only been on TG for about 1 year. I've learned a ton of stuff from the moderators and others that so willingly share their valuable personal time to help others improve.
I can tell you I sit here with tears in my eyes that this should happen. There are bound to be personality differences, but that should be a blessing, not a curse. Effectively the moderators have been silenced and whether or not the rules seemed fair to some, they've all done a splendid job.
In my opinion, Xhris's tutorials are valuable....the suspension was deemed necessary for one month....ONE MONTH....is that worth losing 2 or 3 cracker jack mods over?
I can't speak for Xhris but I'm betting he would rather sit out a month than lose 3 moderators. And I don't mean that you ncessarily deserve the ban Xhris, I simply don't know. I'm not privvy to everything that went on obviously. I do understand that I would always try to abide by what the moderators say as that's really the only way to order on a forum. I certainly appreciate and love what you bring to the table...at whatever time that might be. Your skills and sharing of those skills is invaluable.
Those good folks (moderators) have no pay, have sometimes been attacked, and their reward.....pleasure in seeing someone improve their workflow in the program they love.
I have never been banned but have been chastised for how I've said things....sometimes just because I felt a sense of injustice...sorry to make your moderating jobs harder for you when it's hard enough guys.
I truly hope you all are able to come back and hope you are able to moderate as you should be allowed to....if not, I will not only not be on this site any longer but will also vote with my wallet as I've only got the trial version of XDP6....that's how much I feel it.
So Xara, before others decide to do what I'm seriously thinking of doing, you might want to consider your decision to push some very good people away from this site.

All you have to decide is what to do with the time that is given to you.
