I agree with Moderator-42. This is the Yeshiva World and Kosher be it. I never joined a chat room other than the Coffee Room. I’m here because I know that it isn’t simply a chat room. There are no links to undesirable sites, no private messages option, no Lashon Hora and no personal attacks. I also believe that without moderation the coffee room would sometimes look like a Kindergarten.
However, I have one suggestion: When the Mods edit/delete a post, they should specify the issue. Whether it should be seen on his dashboard/profile or email inbox, doesn’t matter. I know that it sometimes leaves you thinking why? I recently posted my opinion about the bodyscans, it had no offensive material (maybe I used some strong language – as I sometimes do, but nothing offensive and of course no foul language) and I got a message like this: DELETED BY MODERATOR . I’m still wondering why. I believe that a message or notice will notify the member what the issue is and he will be able to correct it. It will also give us the feeling of the standard the moderators want and will eventually make the moderators’ job easier.
