I do not like the idea of an anonymous admin on the forums. What do you think?

the problem here is that BBAMFH is most likely someone we know. I doubt they picked a guy off the street and asked him to moderate us kids. So, BBAMFH gets demoted back to member. Hard feelings, methinks?

I voted yes. I am new here and to 914's. I came over here for the info, not the drama. I could care less either way about avatars, or sigs(many of which are funny); but if your going to moderate published rules, just have the balls and do it. If they whine, tough shit. If one of my posts goes over the line, tell me, but have the balls, or enlarged labia to say who it's coming from. It would go a long way toward preserving the "club" atmosphere.
ie. If you mouth off in a bar and some stranger says STFU, your more likely to take that as aggressive, but if your drinking buddy says hey man, STFU it's ok.

I voted yes, because I don't like the idea that there is no accountability. You can say this is not a democracy, but the truth is that there is a common sense of morality and propriety. Clearly some people push the bounds of what is acceptable, but there is no reason or benefit for the enforcement to be anonymous. If someone cares to make a valid argument as to why Mike's avatars are offensive, I'm all ears. I just don't like the idea of a police state. I'd rather see an occasional asshole than a dictator.

i voted yes. unaccountable power as perceived by the eyes of the governed, makes for a less than pleasant situation. anonymous power is unaccountable.

I voted yes because I personally don't like the idea of anonymous authority. Authority without respect is akin to tyranny and it's difficult to respect an anonymous figure. The members at least have a 'relationship' with the non-anonymous admins. and with that comes a certain amount of respect.

The forum does require some form of moderation to keep things under control. I personally like an open and free atmosphere, but I don't like explaining 'what that lady is doing' to my four year-old daughter who looks over my shoulder while I'm on the computer. I don't really think I should have to wait until the children have gone to bed to peruse the 914Club.

I voted no because I always root for the underdog, and I want the little bar to catch up to the bigger bar.

I would like to compare my response to this poll to the whole issue itself, silliness from grown men and women. However, I do lean towards the NO because my 4 year old son loves to sit with me and look at car stuff on the internet. I hate that he can't do that when I'm reading the 'club' pages.

And FWIW, I don't view the new admin as anonymous in a bad way. I know many of you know each other personally (it seems like half the 'club' knows each other personally), so I view almost everyone as anonymous.

All of these threads have been entertaining, but also kind of pathetic.
