Well ... I'm over 40.Originally posted by Coordinator Inc
Finally I'm surprised that 15 y.o. is allowed to moderate, when there are people of 40 years of age an older. I think this is a basic disrespect to older people whose posts are now moderated by kids of 15 years of age.
As this thread showed, they behave as unprofessional as before they were given the priority to mod.
Because of this and more, there is no reason left that will justify the moderation by 15 years old kid of any section of this forum. I, and th ones who will agree(I bet it would bethe majority), advice the decision makers to reconsider the allowance of kids to be on the forum, especially in the position of moderators --- in the sake of common sense!
I remember being chosen as the President of Astronomy Club when I was 15 (grade 9), people started to groan since most other club officials were seniors 3 years older than me. 12 months later, we became the largest club in school (except for the boy scouts) with a 3-fold+ jump in membership.
I also remember being promoted to the senior management overseeing some 60 teaching and adminstrative staffers when I was 30, people started to groan since the other handful of department heads are like 50 years old.
My point is that we shouldn't simply judge people by their age, although I do agree that maturity counts. But as you grow older, you'll have to live with the FACT that there are smarter people around who are YOUNGER than you! That's life, man.
