Hi there. I'd like feedback from mods in this one, as it's more of a moddish question.
I'm the Regional Delegate for my region on NationStates. I've been RD for 722 days and, I feel, have done well, in the respects of my predecessors. Before that, I was the RolePlay Moderator. So I've been doing this for a while.
One of our newest members (he arrived during my absense this summer) has recently been giving me grief. He is blatantly insulting in his politics, stating things that, out of respect for our forum, I won't post here. Let me just say they are generalized and stereotyped statements. I've asked him to stop on several occassions, and we've shared heated words. Most recently, he's been calling me a tyrant because we have an offsite forum and I am holding an election there. Now, our regional rules state that members have to register on the forum. It's a security thing from back in the day. Anyway, he keeps insisting that this is a breech of his civil rights and whatnot. I'm talking to my fellow Mods, but no one seems very supportive. One thinks it's funny. The problem is, it's not funny to me. I've been putting up with this guy's crap for several months...on my own...and now I feel my name has been tarnished within the region. People who visit will read our board and say "Gee, that guy's saying he's being oppressed by the Delegate, I don't wanna move there."
So, any mods got any advice? You don't have to be a mod here, just have some Mod experience.
