Improper Selection of Forum Moderators

[quote="tsawmiller"][quote="tanstaafl"]From another thread:
[quote="tsawmiller"][quote="Moderator2"][quote="tanstaafl"]Isn't it
about time Mr. Sloan started receiving harsher penalties than having
an occasional post deleted????[/quote]

[b]Yes. [/b]

The moderator should not be posting opinions in the role of moderator.
[/quote]IMHO, it is quite proper for a moderator to post an opinion
ABOUT forum moderation.  If the moderators don't make such statements
then we don't have a chance to disagree (or agree, in this case, just
speaking for myself) with how he's making his decisions.[/quote]
This was not an opinion about forum moderation.
It was an opinion about a specific person.
That is improper for a moderator to post.[/quote]

Here is an example of the improprieties of Forum Moderation.

This was posted in February 2007 at a time when I was both a member of
the board and a candidate for re-election.

One forum moderator, Tanstaafl, who we now know to be Herbert Rodney
Vaughn, and who filed a 400 page ethics complaint against me in color
(at USCF Expense) advocates that I should be permanently banned from
posting to the USCF Issues Forum.

tsawmiller agrees here and in other places that I should be banned
from posting.

Remember that I was elected to the board, elected by the USCF
Membership.

Later, Bill Hall appointed Tanstaafl and tsawmiller as Forum
Moderators. They were not yet moderators at the time of these
postings.

It is obvious that they were appointed as moderators as a reward for
advocating that I be banned from posting because Bill Hall along with
Joel Channing wanted me banned.

Note that even though I have filed a federal lawsuit over this, Vaughn
and Sawmiller continue to be moderators. The fact that Bill Hall keeps
Vaughn and Sawmiller as forum moderators even though for the last 7
months the USCF has been under a federal lawsuit for this is enough
reason alone to fire Bill Hall.
