From Around the Web: 20 Awesome Photos of twitters former moderation has too so
I like the idea of “moderation.” It’s great when we take breaks from the world of negative self-talk and learn to relax when we see or hear things that are going wrong. It’s even better when we have the self-awareness to recognize when we are “moderating” ourselves.
A lot of the time we are moderating ourselves for good reasons but also for the wrong reasons. In our current world, it doesn’t matter what we think, because we all have our own opinions and our own minds. On the other hand, when we’re moderating ourselves for negative reasons, we’re doing the best we can when we’re not aware of the reasons.
We should probably learn to relax when we see or hear things that are going wrong. Its even better when we have the self-awareness to recognize when we are moderating ourselves.

Moderation is about feeling we don’t need to be told anything. That if we act as if we know better, we will get away with it. We should learn to relax when we see or hear things that are going wrong. Its even better when we have the self-awareness to recognize when we are moderating ourselves. A lot of the time we are moderating ourselves for good reasons but also for the wrong reasons.
If you want to talk about Moderation and Self-Awareness, then you should check out this other page, “The Moderation Secrets”. It’s not as thorough as it sounds, though there are some nice little things to be learned from this page.
Moderation for good reasons or bad reasons? I don’t think that the latter is possible. We should all know that there is a line that goes down to the very core of moderation. To do good moderation, one has to understand when moderation is being done for the wrong reasons.
Moderation is defined as “the practice of removing people from a thread”. The line that goes down to the very core of moderation is when moderation is done for the wrong reasons. To a good moderationer, removing a person from a thread is an “error”. To a bad moderator, removing a person from a thread is a “mistake”. One can have good moderation and be a good moderator without being a good moderator.
This is the problem with the idea of being a good moderationer. A good moderationer is one who will remove a thread from a user that is being moderated. A bad moderationer is one who will remove a thread from a user that is being moderated incorrectly.
If a user is being moderated incorrectly, then it’s because the moderator has not removed the thread from the user that is being moderated incorrectly. So when someone comes along and asks to be removed from a thread, the moderator should not remove the thread from the user. Instead, the question should be, “Can I be removed from this thread?” The answer is, “No.” We don’t want bad moderators. We want good moderators.
For the most part, moderation consists of two things. One is user removal. The other is removing the thread from the user that is being moderated incorrectly. While both are good, the user that is being moderated incorrectly is the one that should be removed.
