Comment on: Topic 'Digging Into RecruitingBlogs.com v1.17': n community... and... I'm trying, very hard, to determine how I will moderate activity. I want to have a plan in place before my community grows beyond my grasp. There is NO easy answer. I KNOW that I will NOT leave it as "anything goes"... which, in all reality... free speech really means. As long as the individual is willing to pay the price for what they say, they should be able to say it. (that's my simple interpretation of free speech). There are too many individuals out there who find happiness in vandalizing a network. Why.. well, any answer would be speculative. But, in my mind... it's a fact that they will... and that fact alone means I must protect myself, and my network, from being vandalized. To me.. that's a simple truth. Note: this is MY truth and I do not insist that anyone reading this "buy off" on what I'm saying. But, if you're curious... please read on.... That brings "rules" into play. Break the "rules"... there's consequences. The concequences are designed to protect the network and it's purpose and are administrated by the moderator. Now, once "rules" are required, someone must decide which rules work and which rules don't. How they make their decisions is up to them. That's the freedom they have. That person, or those people, must then moderate accordingly to maintain the continuity and purpose of their community. And, if they discover that a rule needs to change to maintain the continuity and purpose of their community, well, they then must decide if the change, and the consequences of that change, are in the best interest (in their judgement) of their community. The best part about all of this is that we, as members, are FREE to come and go from any community at will. Kudos to Ning for leveling the playing field. If anyone thinks they can do a better job than the moderator or moderators of a community they participate in, they can simply start their own and "Become the change" they wish to see... FOR FREE. Then we (members) can come participate in that community (assuming the invitation is open) and determine for ourselves if we like those rules (or lack of rules) better. That's freedom. And, interestingly, it is Ning who decided that the "delete" button was appropriate for all communities... not the community creator. I found many of John's thoughts (someone who I've never met, spoken to on the phone or exchanged email with) to be of significant value in my quest to decide how I will moderate the community that I have created. I will use the best of what I find and discard that which I think does not fit. And, as the community creator, I must make those decisions because I know that each and every community member is free to leave if they do not like my decisions. That is the power the Internet, and certain software, has given us... like it or not. Karen.. if I may cautiously address you directly.... I have seen you as a very active person with respect to what you think is right and wrong within a community. I... and I mean "I", not "we", would be very curious to see how YOU would moderate a Ning community. I would be intensely curious to see how your decisions would hold up as your community became of significant population. I make no prediction as to what that reality would look like. If you do have an open community I could join, please advise. I'm a member of many and may have already joined yours (and simply don't remember). I would gladly pay more attention and would do the same as I do everywhere I go; I will look for the best and discard the rest (in my sole discression). I follow no one person or group. And, I certainly don't belong to any clique. I'm simply always on the hunt for solutions and answers. If you don't already have a Ning community, and don't intend to create one, please consider writing a blog post outlining what you would do and how you would structure and moderate YOUR community. I hope you do not view this as an attack... but as the quest for solutions and answers as it is intended by this author to be. I can't control your perception. .... done addressing Karen directly. In closing... I do appreciate the answers I have found within this post and the replies. Thank you all for your contributions. I don't expect to create a "perfect society" in my community. I simply want to try to create the best location I can for members to spend their time... within the confines of the purpose and intent as established by me, the community creator. Sadly.. this took about over an hour to write. Optimistically, I hope to make further progress towards my stated objective. Time well spent? .... only "time" will tell. Forgive my spelling errors.. if any. My Google spell checker failed to run... and I'm a very bad speller. See you all around. Kindly, - Jim…; Added by Jim Canto at 2:38pm on August 30, 2008
