Are you speaking of here on the Chat? Or in our beloved government?

For those of you who are new, there are 4 moderators on the chat. We abide by a series of rules set up by Frank, who owns the chat. Decisions are made jointly, or after discussion among ourselves, usually. The moderators have the right to moderate or edit posts - or delete them completely.
Among other things, we strive for civility on the chat, and several of us have a long history with the chat - we know which threads will likely blow up. Several of us have been involved in some very uncomfortable times. So... that said, we guards guard the guards. You may not like it, but that's the way it is here. We're certainly open to PMs about situations, but we do have the final word.  Regarding the government? I haven't the faintest. Pam |

The real question is "what are the guards guarding?"

And among conspiracy theorists, that will always be the question.

Might it not also be the question for those who did not understand your cryptic comment? By saying, " We guards guard the guards" is that not the same as saying we guard ourselves? And if so, If we guard our selves, meaning the moderators guard themselves, but call themselves guards, then it seems that they see their roll, by Pam's definition, as a roll of guard... What is it that you are guarding?

The original quote was "who guards the guards" - and I asked Jon if he meant on SC or in the government.
He said "yes" - Since "guards" in that context would mean moderators, I went on to explain some of the behind the scenes process for SC in terms of moderation. Again, those who are great on conspiracy theories will not believe any of it, however, they will need to pretend like they do, because it's what WE go by, and the decisions we make. Pam |

And of course, those of us that do not believe in conspiracy theories will have trouble understanding all the subtrefuge. Some of us are like me, and not too bright. We may not be as good with the word smithing, but like it simple and direct. An occasional straight answer is nice to hear.
