I've been a moderator before, still am in some spots. Y'all don't know the headache you are asking for, I think.
It's easy to be impartial if you have a set of boundaries to abide by.
When it becomes partial is when some lame brain decides they have been unfairly moderated and lashes out at a moderator with everything from "Well this guy over here gets to do it!" to insults about parentage, intelligence and sexual orientation.
So be careful what you wish for. It's a thankless job full of abuse and pretty much zero compensation for babysitting a bunch of grown **** adults acting like **** adolescents.Expert Moron Extraordinaire

Seems to be the norm here !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

All past moderators have been Polk employees as that was the requirement of Polk. Other than that there's no reason a member or members of the forum could not be the moderator or moderators. There are many other audio forums that have members in a moderator role. So Kex, your reasonings are without merit....well, other than the obvious.Political Correctness'.........defined

Professional moderation ? What the heck is that ?
Is there a college degree that makes you a professional ? Seems to me, one only needs common sense and a will to subscribe to and enforce the rules set forth by the parent company. Moderation isn't rocket science, but dealing with the general public can be frustrating at the very least.
I believe Ken S. would attest to that.HT SYSTEM-

This isn't the military but, having been in many situations where I didn't agree with whatever was happening when I was, decisions and how things are handled always boil down to integrity and commitment to a higher purpose. It's very possible to be opinionated but still impartial. AF moto..."integrity first, service before self." I want to believe I was that and believe we can have the same, here.Post edited by JayCee on➀Speakers: Polk1.2tl's (Uber Mods) ➁Pre/Amp/DAC: PS Audio BHK Signature & 250, DirectStream ➂Cables/IC's: MIT S1Bi-Wire/S1 Balanced +Avel Lindberg 1000VA "Dreadnought" ➃Power Conditioner: PS Audio P15 Power Plant ➄Power Cords: Core Power Technologies Gold, DH Labs Power Plus DIY w/Neotech NC-P301 & P311ends ➅Streaming: Roon ROCK on wifi'd NUC, TP-Link WAP, & Uptone EtherREGEN, AfterDark, Emperor Double Crown Clock, Black Modernize LPS, PS Audio AirLens⟿Ω☯☥☮⟿🔊♩♪♫♬♩♪♫♬♩♪♫♬

I understand that you may not agree with the reasoning, but it is certainly not without merit or validity.
Although there are other forums that have member moderators, those are not usually owned by larger corporations. Is Polk too small to have professional moderation?
LOL....you're the one doing all the protesting as you try to tell everyone what to do, repeatedly!
FYI, none of the past mods was a "professional moderator". Where did you come up with that one anyway?Political Correctness'.........defined

Don’t do it for the hourly rate. Do it for the pension and benefits that come later... that’s where the real money is.

A professional is a member of a profession or any person who earns their living from a specified professional activity. If a moderator is paid for their activity, then they are a professional. They would likely receive training in how to deal with situations that are likely to arise, and how to de-escalate those situations rather than fuel them with open threats. They would not allow themselves to be baited, or take pleasure in banning anyone.
The only disadvantage to professional moderation is the inherent cost, however that can be mitigated (other CS related duties, outside service provider, etc. etc.). The only advantage to volunteer moderation is that it is free.
This would be an example of unprofessional moderation:
I can tell how I feel about him. I'm LMAO at him as he has given me control over his life and he's too stupid to realize it.
A professional moderator would not engage in threats or banter in the open forum. They would simply handle the situation quietly.
There you go again.
You are ignoring the fact that at this time I am NOT a moderator.....Hello!!!Political Correctness'.........defined
