ValeriaTaiz 689 Report post Posted May 29, 2014 ...has CERB been able to maintain such a positive and respectful vibe? I have been a member for very short time, but every time I come to the board and read ANY thread, it is always comforting and refreshing to know that there are a lot of good people in this industry (from both sides) who are genuine and caring. It is a breath of fresh air to get such a positive energy from people who I don't even know, and who are thousands of miles away from me. It is nice to see a lot of men have a deeper level of compassion and understanding for SPs; to see that tolerance and respect can really make a difference in the industry, it's truly inspiriting. Seeing the dynamics n this board make me see a bigger picture... If every human being could follow very simple and basic rules the world could be a better place, and that we don't always have to agree, but we can also agree to disagree respectfully. Anyway, I just wanted to acknowledge CERB, and all its members especially, the mods who are the ones keeping the order and integrity of the board. Thank you! 11 Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
mod 135639 Report post Posted May 29, 2014 :) it is not (and has not been) easy to do. It does take a lot of moderation and a lot of really great members. 13 Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
roamingguy 300292 Report post Posted May 29, 2014 A big hats off is due to the Mod and Council. Theirs is not an easy task, I think often underappreciated The positivity of this site is why I'm here, and don't use any other sites any more CERB isn't a board, it's a community RG 5 Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
fortunateone 156618 Report post Posted May 29, 2014 mod is the key. There is a strict no nonsense approach to things, including slander, trolling, negative attitude, and even questionable ad titles. Anyone can come here and know they can freely post, even disagree, and not be attacked by moderators with personal vendettas, or favourtism of posters who are hostile and aggressive. Nobody who says nice things about sps gets called names or gets discredited. We see that kind of behaviour on other sites all the time, question it and the whistleblower becomes the target of abuse. Blow a whistle here, and a happy parade starts :) 4 Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Ice4fun 78407 Report post Posted May 29, 2014 Certainly the established set of rules and the excellent work if the Mod and council are major reasons for the success of this board but I also think the people who regularly come to this site value the community that has been created and want it to continue so they support the rules and the mod.... we know what an excellent resource this is and that if we don't support it the amazing SP's will not be comfortable being open here. 4 Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
mod 135639 Report post Posted June 4, 2014 Not just me either... We do have two mods here (and occasionally a third) and lots of great members who flag the bad posts for us. It really is all about the community. 4 Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
