I have not been here long enough to make a decision based upon past and current activities.
Regarding the Mods, more than likely it is a volunteer job, and they do it the best they know how. Some probably do it better than others just like the DJ's of this board.
I feel that the board Admin should have a policy which standardizes or provides guidance in goveranance. Mods should not rule based upon their personal opinion, they should rule based upon board policy, meaning Mods might not like the contents of the post, but as long as it stays within boards policy, the post remains as posted.
Also, I do not think or believe Mods should publicly post of sanctions being place on a poster, I believe an email or pm should be sent to the poster in violation, to correct their thoughts and civil discussion should be created to clarify policy between board and poster.
Also, the board members need to show respect to the title status "MOD", whether or not they like or dislike the person holding the title.
Again, all disciplininary action should be discrete, and communicated in PM's versus posting it publicly.

Ok hers a sure fair way of improving the zone let's have a vote of what mods should stay and which should go! That way it'll be fair on us all! We also should have nominations on who should be the next moderator and so on... Mjza is constantly striving to gain membership, BUT, on the otherhand, Mod ship is the biggest downfall to this site. Think about it? If mods cannot maintain the site at 10,oo members, then what about 30,000... 40,000 and beyond? Pure chaos.
Although it is the responsibility of the admin to choose the mods, i think this idea is a good one. The mods are carrying out their duty but clearly not at a satisfactory level. There are forum rules posted by the admin which are being broken continuously by the mods (yet alone members). Some mods are ignorant to that fact and refuse to stand corrected. Remember there is nothing wrong with being corrected. MY MAIN POINT: mods are appointed by the admin. It is the duty of the admin to correct his/her mods when they fall out of line. Admin, it's time u pull up ur socks! Lets vote for mods... titus gets my vote.
DO YOU THINK OUR MODS ARE DOING A GOOD JOB [22 vote(s)]
YES
36.4%
NO
63.6%

Alrite so everybody is voting but no one is giving any valid reasons behind their stance ..all I see is a bunch of comment without any substance to it . All these complaining about mods this and mods that is annoying . One guy's statement was Mods live a normal life so they probably take their problems from the everyday life out on the zone members I don't believe anyone of the mods does that... well I can speak for myself I know I DONT . I know how to differentiate zone from real life and I'm sure the others mods too, most time I come on the zone a pure laugh me a laugh cuz most of the members are jokers but once I sign off thats it for zone issues until I sign on again.
The common theme that seems to arise is the problem of peoples post being deleted but I guess most of the members didn't read the rules post by the admin which clearly states and I quote ..
WHERE MEMBERS ARE IN BREACH OF THE FORUM RULES, WE RESERVE THE RIGHT TO MOVE, MODIFY OR, SCRUB POSTS AND/OR BAN OR TAKE AWAY THE POSTING PRIVELIGES OF OFFENDERS.
SUCH ACTIONS WILL BE TAKEN AT OUR SOUL DISCRETION AND DEPENDING ON THE SITUATION, WITH OR WITHOUT PRIOR WARNING OR EXPLANATION.
So the complaints about mods deleting post is just unnecessary if y'all had taken time out and read the rules then all these complaints would have been to a minimal. People the zone is for everyone so why are we making turning this into a MODS vs Members issues , communication is important if we treat each other with respect then we should be good instead of always ridiculing each other .
buba right, dem have normal life too, so them just tek out them anger pon members wid normal life too
Moochie me nah know yuh still but me wan fi tell yuh that if i vex fi anything in my normal life i will not sign in zone and tek my anger out on anyone on the zone
I try keep the vibez good all the time
Im sure some members will verify that...
and im not saying all mods approach with the same attitude

excellent post (the whole of it)!
and there are many more points which should be read carefully. cuz the freedom of speech ends at the point u get disrespectful towards other members. furthermore i see many ppl who correct new users about not to post external links and spam in the chat box, but they seem not to know this rule any more when it comes to themselves. and i find it jus hilirious to see a member behave like a little child and the next minute he requests to become a mod. im very fine with the actual mods, cuz i´ve meet only few ppl on the zone so far, who seem to have the greatness of mind to act in a fair and neutral way, at least thats what i can say from how i see members behavin every day.

no disrespect to jb, ur one of the hardworking mods, but the rule is unfair, post should be deleted at some DESCRETION
for example, wat if i make a post discussing the bad about ur religion or culture? others may agree with what im saying,are u going to delete my post because it hurts ur feelings? thats not fair, if u do that u have issues, u need help,
ITS SIMPLE, LIVE WITH OUR WAYS AND WE WILL LIVE WITH URS, THE WORLD DOESNT REVOLVE AROUND YOU, WHEN U CLICK X, UR BACK TO UR NORMAL SELF, IF MEDIAZONE GOES DOWN UR BACK TO SQUARE ONE
and ppl may look at this and say"oh its just the internet, u dont have to take it personal" but these are the problems that are facing us today, everyday we have ppl over our backs, wheter its the government, ur boss at work, ur parents, the law, everyone wants to be in control, everybody wants to be on top of their game
teamwork is the key thing,each one teach one, u cant be the one in control of whats going on and censor our opinions, what if u never had the power to delete it, It wud be staring at u right in ur face and u cudnt do nothing about it

What I find easiest is to argue the content of the post, and not argue with the poster. This looks like a diverse group, and with different values, lifestyles, and morals...instead of judging the poster, about their character, challenge their belief of what is posted, and agrue the content, and together the banter of posts about topic will provide insight as to the paths we all have travel....with greater respect.

well respect my beliefs then, and i wil do the same to urs. that the problem with the world u know, we want to tell ppl wat to do, mold them into our shape, in other words, "you must be like me or have my ways" what u say or think doesnt mean shit me,"its my way or the high way"
there comes a time when u have some ppl who feel that its rite to control ppl, ive learn most of my life to be myself, they are bieng themselves but they need ppl to be a replica of them.......
