Well, IIDB has some structure. Just not very much.

What do you think of us imposing CFs structure on IIDB?

I think it would suck.

CF has become very bureaucratic. To some extent, that bureaucracy is necessary because of the size of the site and the breadth of membership, but it is still bureaucratic.

IIDB is still small enough that it can be run autocratically.

Hey! The Titanic was working just fine, right up to the point it smacked into that iceberg (well, glanced off it really).

Oh, I understand and appreciate the meanings behinds the words (very rich, btw). It's just that everything was working fine, just fine - right up to the moment that iceberg appeared.

/sarcasm

What do you put on your user notes?

Also I was wondering how "fair" it is to issue Official warnings where there have been no "alerts" or contacts" on the same rule breech in the past.

IIDB seems to offer no grace at all

Then the appeal is hidden so no one can follow it..

That lots of judgment and secrecy , all the things that have been issues here about CF.

Looks like CFs system is not as evil as some think

I repeat, knock off the mind reading -- or do you consider that a perogative of moderating here?

Oh, does having your mind read bother you?

Hey guys, look. We found something that irritates Buzz!

2. The text of any official moderator or administrator PM sent to a member.

So their posting history is there in full view of other staff? Don't you think that could case a bias reaction ?

I was never a huge fan of them, but used correctly they offer other mods information on perhaps a settled decision on a sig or atvar or note a FSB and its end date.

I think having a posting history in them is not a correct use. My 2 cents

Their posting history is stuff they posted... I don't see how this is biased since it is their own words.

Instead of snide comments and value judgments by other moderators like on CF.

The two systems are completely different, as are the moderators that make it that way. Quit trying to compare apples to oranges.

And yes, I know what was posted about me.
