Alexa for Moderator - :clap::clap::clap::clap:
LOL, the forum does not need (and doubtless would not want) me as a moderator.
It needs simple rules and simple enforcement, and an end to all this
blatant spam and to the rudeness which drives so many members away, as so many explain, so openly, and for so long.
However much people may try to make it sound like a "complicated matter of judgment", it just
isn't.
It's trivially easy.
Deciding that people coming here
solely to promote the commercial link to their signal service on MyFxBook or whatever it's called "isn't self-promotional" is just plain mistaken. That isn't a "judgment call", when someone does that. It's obvious. It's clear-cut forum spam. It's black and white. My cat can understand this, and so can every other trading forum on the web.
Part of the problem is that the moderators say they can do no more because of Sharky's policies, while Sharky (if and when he eventually replies at all to perfectly polite private messages from concerned members) openly blames the moderators and says it's
their policy and he doesn't interfere.
Clearly, the left hand doesn't know what the right hand is doing and
they both blame each other. Yes, I'm calling them out on it in public.
There's no consistency. I may have this wrong but I honestly
suspect there are almost no established moderation policies at all, really. That's how it looks, anyway.
Many other trading forums (including some of the ones to which this forum's former members understandably go, when they can no longer stand the spam and rudeness here)
don't have these problems. ("Big Mike's Trading Forum" doesn't have these problems. He has and enforces two big rules: no self-promotional posting and no rudeness.
That's all he has ever needed.)
Sorry, but it really
IS as simple as that, however much people try to dress it up.
(I'll get my coat".)
