How do I report a board guide - is there any point?

BigBouncyBall

I have taken great exception to a board guide on MSE who now seems to go out of their way in taking complete control of a sub forum. They wield their moderation powers far to quickly and without thought, locking, moving and deleting at will.

I shall not name them, other than to say it's actually not one i've crossed swords with myself though I do get fed up of the way they seem to rule their board and find threads i read concatenated into others or deleted/moved a couple of days later.

Is there any use reporting them though - the BGs here seemingly can do no wrong. They all work "incredibly hard" for no reward - this seems to give them lifetime immunity against criticism by wheeling out the volunteer argument. I'm getting a bit fed up of it and wonder if there shouldn't be a bit of a refresh of certain forums and get some fresh blood in to break up the cliques and gangs.

There is a big button on your pc specifically designed for this

i know that - what i'm getting at, at the root of it, is who polices the police?

The above is the correct advice to follow.

The abuse team is not the board guides, and as such they will deal with any comments you have about them. The forum is not a place to discuss this matter and MSE Martin will surely close this topic.

All the information you need to make any report to the abuse team (who are separate from the board guides) is in this thread. It is not appropriate to discuss it on the forum itself.
