what was done to the qvd nfo here on vcdquality was wrong. i'm very disappointed with the administration here, to allow that.
the public nature of this board, along with its popularity, gives it a certain amount of power. there are undoubtedly many thousands of people for whom this board is the only place that they are likely to see that nfo. if staff allow themselves to abuse that power by altering original group documentation as a joke or in order to support their own opinions, it will only hurt your credibiility in the long run.
leave groups' nfo's alone. there is plenty of opportunity here to express how you feel about them, to the weight of which opinion enough is lent already by your status as moderator or administrator.
there is also, in forums like this one, a certain presumption of objectivity granted to the staff. once it's tarnished, it will be impossible to regain... people will begin to wonder whether some of you are in groups yourselves, and quickly begin to associate the board with one group or another. from that point on, everything that is said here will be viewed as tainted, as propaganda, and people will begin to look for a pretext behind every post that they don't like, and group members will come to hate and distrust this place as much as they have some other places (i don't believe i need mention any names).
those are my thoughts for today. thank you for listening, and don't forget to validate your parking stub on the way out.
