Just read a thread and got to knew that Samar has resigned from the moderatorship, though its his personal decision and not a new thing on Jatland as earlier too there were many moderators who quit the moderatorship because of their personal reasons.
But this one is totally a different case, where the moderator was forced to quit because he was doing his job with full responsibility. In the course of serving the job he unintentionally hurt the EGO of some members as their irrelevant and nonsense posts were deleted. Instead of respecting the policies, (which is expected from every responsible member) they went on rampage and started writing personal comments against the moderator, few others too joined them and they were surprisingly unchecked as no moderator took a strict action against such a stupid behavior.
The most surprising thing which I noticed was the unconcerned behavior of other members and moderators those didn't even care to write their honest views on that very post. I'm damm sure every responsible member knows who was wrong and who was right? I think there could be two reasons behind the indifferent behavior of the other members -
1) either we are too much image conscious and afraid of speaking truth, knowing it may invite anger of some members..
2) or we don't love a discipline environment..
if I am to summarize the concern raised by fellow members against the moderators then they were following
a) He deleted some posts irrelevent posts (those were really irrelevant so I think he just did his job without any offense to anyone.)
b) Some of them attacked on him that he is not using his real name and went on writing anything against him but the truth about using a second name was totally personal and it was clarified very well but they were not in mood to show some maturity.
c)Because of this, some members tried to change their name like signhada, tamatar etc. and when it was clearly explained too them that using such names may invite one year ban to them but still they didn't mind to respect the policy. And when one of them was banned they made a issue of it..
Now if we look at the above reasons, do you really think that moderator was on fault or he misused his power?
Can't we show some sense of self responsibility? Where is the problem in following the policy of a portal or organization with dignity???
If you people think that discipline and decorum should be maintained here then in my opinion, we all should request the admin/moderators of the site to bring Samar back as a moderator otherwise it will discourage other moderators as well from taking strict action. but if you think that doing job with maturity and responsibility is wrong then no problem, carry on with the same stuff and one day we will have a messed up Jatland !!
Choice is yours, either support a disciplined and friendly environment or anarchy !!
Think about it !!
