From time to time I make the odd post questioning the validity of threads started by vendors. A couple of days ago one such post received a very strange comment from a member of t2w's staff. The comment said
"Report it! The more members that do that the more likely it is that the mods will tighten up their approach."
I thought the idea was that the moderators enforced the site guidelines, but now I'm told that moderation standards are variable, and influenced by members lobbying. How does that work then ? If I lobby for tighter control over vendors, and mr Spread betting's latest multi nic pushes for less vendor control what happens ?
Do the moderators really tighten up their moderation standards in light of reported posts, and if so why ?, or am I being misled, and if so, is the member of staff who sent me that message deliberately misleading me, or are they as confused as I am.
