Moderator rules on what is replied to..

.

Is anyone able to provide detail if the rules and threshold tests that NAS moderators abide by, or is it down to personal judgement.

I.e a post about a woman being raped is not responded to, or an adult who rarely gets visitors and is living in isolation, or posts relating to adult suicide. However other posts warrant intervention?

Curious ...

  • Political correctness often stifles useful discussion. If the information is abusive or obviously fake then it should certainly be removed, but we Aspies tend to focus on unusual subjects and have major distress, with little understanding elsewhere and our communication does not fir in to the "standard political correctness"

    I have found other websites where the admin like to throw their weight about and block people, but this place seems very tolerant. I know I write a lot about adult suicide, but know that the standard "emergency response" is humiliating and unhelpful and is really about the admin people covering their backs from litigation and there is no evidence it saves lives. I had a county medical research role for many years and know that suicide in autism is a major problem that needs addressing and lived experience through this site maybe very useful

    I don't think this place is tolerant but lax! i remember some abuse being left up for days. I am a forum moderator for an electronics forum and I am appalled at the level of non moderation here. I and the site owner are not heavy handed but you need to know that mods will react in a timely way.

    Between the poor response of moderators and the website here being so damn slow I started up ndsa.uk with other members from here. it will be moderated, it won't be politically correct but abuse will not be tolerated and certainly not be left up for days on end like i have seen here.

    Corporate moderating is not going to work well. I like to work on a case by case basis with the basic guidelines of no abuse will be tolerated and for everything else we work on it case by case.

    Definitely! I’m the admin for my Facebook group for autistic women and you have to be on the ball. I had to turn off commenting on a post the other day because I feared that it may spiral into an argument if I did not take that action. You can’t just leave it and wait until multiple members are involved and much bad feeling is caused before stepping in to do something.
