Very well put sir. Especially - "Nor Even Moderator".
Moderator when we take up any issue pertaining to TLMs and Admins - he brushes it aside saying "Old TL". "Trivial issue". Or just silence.
-
1. When I joined and got info from a new station, an argument cropped up with an admin. That time he brushed it aside as trivial.
2....
more... When one of my pic was used by a TLM for updation. Again silence. Then I dragged the issue to main forum and then one admin (then FM) also took up the issue. So then he replied.
3. Recently a member questioned about my CC updation, saying it needs to be official. When I asked Moderator, he was online but was least bothered to reply. Then Pran sir intervened. That member the next day became TLM - someone who doesn't know who updates CC.
4. Moderator uses silence as a weapon to shut down problems. The fact is, it doesn't die down, it festers. Many members have questioned his silence on such updations but no action or response against admins and TLMs.
5. He has absolute and total disdain for ordinary members. No reply, no appreciation.
6. He doesn't understand that members just for updation of CC walk thru the entire length of the train to get CC and other info. All of them value addition to HIS website.
7. When I was new, I thought I need a position and name to stand up to these admins. Then I started blogging, now I have a standing. So do you.
But that counts for zilch when we are made to fight for each and every TL.
When I was being questioned by the soon-to-be TLM or you by TLM for this station, Moderator could have stepped in and resolved the issue. The least he can do for the people who have contributed to his website. But nothing..... He will be online.... but just silence and sheer disdain.
