Is it just me or is that one of the most obnoxious father-figure acts on the internet?
Let's have a proper discussion about attitude of moderating various types of boards.

What do you think is the most effective relationship moderators should have with the community?
Close and friendly, risking a lack of respect.
Fatherly and condescending, maintining order but not necesarily morale?

Where is the middle ground?

Is it perhaps, a matter of change from community to community, or what type of forum you're running.

Some notes:



As some folks have mentioned, my "End of line" is indeed from the original Tron, a movie I quite enjoyed as a child and still enjoy to this day. It is not meant to be mean-spirited, it's just how Master Control Program ended his correspondence with Mr. Dillinger, and it seemed appropriate to use as a thread-locking line.



The Report Post button does take a roundabout route to get to us BioWarians, but that doesn't mean you should stop using it. For more day-to-day shenanigans and monkeypants, please message one of us directly.



My moderation philosophy is "be excellent to each other." That means respect for your fellow community members, your Moderators, the intent of the forum, and the host organization(s) which sponsors the forum. In this case, that means EA and BioWare. We allow our community a great deal of leeway when it comes to casual topics and friendly discussion, but we are still a discussion forum. We are not /b/, so conversations or posts composed solely of meme images (eg. "son I am disappoint") or meme one-liners (eg. "Cool story, bro.") is highly discouraged. We are also not a chatroom, so please try and stay on topic.



We have a community full of people typing at keyboards, just like yourself. Remember that when you start labeling those who disagree with you with terms like "fanboi," "troll," and "apologist." It does nothing except hurt your own argument when you start generalizing and name-calling. We can disagree with one another without being hostile.



Anything else I'm missing?
