Respecting forum, respecting moderators - displaying love

[New World Explorer]

On few occasions I have noticed that some discussions are getting bit “heated” and moderators need to step in, lovingly reminding us to keep displaying loving attitude while responding to topics. 
Now, ...when I think of moderators they are busy as we are with many responsibilities, some have families to look after, discharge congregational duties, preach the good news as everybody does. 
So what the moderators do here, is GIVING UNSELFISHLY their time and energy to keep forum in a loving state. 
Can we make their “volunteer responsibility here on the forum” bit easier, and refrain from controversial, dogmatic, or bit hostile comments? Perhaps thinking twice before hitting post button? 

 

We are all busy with our lives, let’s then be unselfish and keep in mind that brothers and sisters moderating this forum can feel unnecessary pressure, dealing with unnecessary problems that could be easily avoided if we keep our comments in loving way. 
We love them for their work, so let’s make their role bit easier, so they can enjoy the forum as well.

Thanks, Greg! What a nice post!

 

The mods do their best, but actually JWTalk is a community effort. To keep a clean and nice atmosphere depends on the efforts of all members.

 

Thanks!

The same as elders in our congregations. 💙

 

The same effort is needed from both them and us in our congregation also.
