in discussing the blog with some newer posters, it has been brought to my attention that newer posters do not always feel welcomed, are intimidated, or feel their posts are "brushed" off by some of the older posters and mods. which is why i created a thread for newer posters to discuss their thoughts, feelings, and input (similar to this one). it didnt catch on the way i had hoped though, partially because people cracked jokes rather than give constructive feedback. i got some nice feedback from a few people via pm's though.
http://forums.celticsblog.com/index.php?topic=24644.0i dont really have any gripes with the blog, in terms of the content, discussions, and layout, because they are all great. i think there are some posters who are rude, but that is a reflection of society...this place is just a microcosim of society.
i dont want to sound like a jerk, and certainly do not want this held against me (which i am fearful will happen, but oh well).....i think there could be more consistency amongst the mods. i realize that it is difficult to do bc each mod has a different posting style, interpretation, and approach to moderating the forums. but i think there could be more consistency on how to approach posters, threads, and material that needs their attention. some mods let certain things slide, while others dont. again, not trying to be a jerk, just giving my honest observation.
