I am interested in making a film about how rude some of the moderators are on Pprune and how snooty a lot of the users on Pprune are. I understand the Rude moderator is one Bob Lloyd. is this correct? Does anyone know where the King Prune actually lives? or wish to have any valid input?    Report

If you don't agree with those forum rules, you don't have to participate. Simple really. Graham, when someone you don't know starts a campaign to establish exactly where you live, will you be entirely relaxed?    Report

PPRUNE at times is pessimistic, and at times people ramble on about negative points and slate those who say stupid things, but thats tough, its a forum where freedom of speech is allowed so get over it    Report

Any differing view is quickly quelled, especially if critical of some airline pilot atittudes. Posts are deleted if an opposing view is stated.    Report

As a regular poster on Prune who regularly takes on the airline / IFR types I can say I have never had a post deleted. Lots of knowledgeable people post on it, so if you are going to throw rocks you have to be sure you know your stuff. I find it very useful.   Rod1    Report

I understand the Rude moderator is one Bob Lloyd. is this correct? Does anyone know where the King Prune actually lives? or wish to have any valid input? I find the pprune members ok but some of the moderators are really bad.  I have seen blatant infringements from pprune mods on freedom of speech, unexplained thread deletions, expressing of personal opinions and over policing without explanation. It's the only forum I've come across, so far, that behaves this way.  Maybe it's a case of, 'We're so big we can do what we like'.  But like I say the posters seem ok. I found this on community spark which explains how to moderate and I think the pprune mods should go on a course with them How to avoid conflict when moderating As I have said before, it is essential that your online community has a set of rules or guidelines for your members to follow. Before you have to take action against a member, you should always contact them and try to get them to remove or edit the post themselves by referring them to the rule you feel they have broken. In this way, you are making your site user feel far more valued on a personal level - this is far preferable to the member simply returning one day to find their post(s) or account deleted. The key to effective forum moderation In my opinion, the key to effective forum moderation is the ‘laissez-faire‘ approach. You should only edit the accounts or posts of your members as a last resort. If you are unhappy with any content they have created, speak directly and confidentially to that person. This way, you will not end up alienating your community - they will respect you far more as a moderator and will feel far more valued as a member of your community.   Pprune moderators could learn a lot from their site.    Report

And why are you getting so heated about the subject? Are you a pprune mod? I think there's something I'm missing here. Maintain, bad moderation alienates a forum community, good moderation enhances it.    Report
