Are the chat moderators on live.pirillo.com fair?

Do you think the chat moderators on the live chat at live.pirillo.com are friendly and helpful, or no?

Also is there a particular opinion you have or a reason for starting this topic? a one line topic does not explain your opinion or start a conversation well at all. For future reference expound on your topic and explain why you started it.; ▶ Reply to This

You never even explained why you started this topic or your opinion of it which makes any topic easier for your audience to discuss.; ▶ Reply to This

My point was just to get other's opinions, watching over the last several months I have seen some moderators that I thought we a bit unfair, but when you have morons typing the same thing over and over again, I can certainly understand how it happens.; ▶ Reply to This

I think we are more than fair and we put up with some stuff that other chat's don't. I like to think we are helpful and produce a pleasant atmosphere for the chatters. I've had my moments of frustration and have had to take a break for a bit. But after some time to reflect, it's back to the combat...errr, chatting. :P; ▶ Reply to This

I admire the staff that moderates chat. Moderating a forum isn't nearly as frantic and fast paced as a chatroom. It takes dedication to spot trouble before it gets out of hand and deal with it so as not to disrupt the flow.

No one enjoys being moderated, even me, but the reality is that we all have the potential to type too fast and think too slow. If you get moderated, take it, learn from it and move on. Too many sites have disappeared or become ghost towns due to the lack of good moderation. No forum owner or chat operator wants that to happen to their site.; ▶ Reply to This
