First I would like to say that this forum (DR1) in general is a great source to get information about DR and to exchange questions answers and debates. I also think in general that most moderators are doing a good job to moderate the conversations.
However I have noticed things that is not common sense for me and more importantly does not represent good behavior. For example some moderators comes across as bias towards certain people at times. Like in all societies I can understand that to some extent and all of us are guilty of it from time to time but sometimes it goes beyond what is ok.
All these sub-forums are great also and some have restricted access like residents, off topic etc. I buy that/like that also. Great!
What does confuses me is when a forum is designated for a - specific group of people only - to post in but the opposite group of people have read access only . This is especially strange when an individual belonging to the "write access group" decides to continue the discussion of already started topic (or closely related) from the open forums in the restricted forum and to put a twist on it. In addition the individual is also referring to other posters in the "restricted" thread whom have no possibility to respond!
Maybe the situation I am describing above is improving the ego for the individual or the person gets excited/turned on in some way and if so I guess something was achieved for someone . What I do wonder though if this represent good behavior?? In my eyes it does not.
For me it makes much more sense for restricted forums to also remove read-access for the group of people who is not allowed to take part. Then the discrimination strategy is harmonized at least !
I did not mean to be this lengthy in my post, sorry about that. For the ones who wants to read this you may want to hurry because it can happen that a moderator friend (could be bias ) will remove this post quickly.
Have a nice day everyone./MM
