Snowglobe of Doom posted:I took on some mod roles at smaller websites and even a local FaceBook community group Oh I just remembered something else about that FB community group I helped mod: half the other modmins in the group were retired grandparents with hardly any public forums experience and they approached the job of moderating internet posters as if they were disciplining naughty children and you can guess how well that went over. It was also a total poo poo show any time a member got confused and angry about one of their posts being removed because these people had never worked a customer service job in their lives and they had absolutely no idea how to de-escalate the situation or even to avoid it blowing up altogether and half the time it ended with them banning the member. (Any time I got one of those queries I treated the user like an adult and got along just fine with them.) We actually had SASS-style rival FB groups popping up, created by local community members who'd been banned from the original group. The modmins were also extremely cliquey and had a massive "us vs them" attitude towards the user base and had a sense of ownership over the group even though they'd mostly stopped contributing and hardly ever interacted with the members any more. They were internet cops, basically.
