   This is all under the assumption that there are currently no female mods.

   I think it would be beneficial if there were female moderators for the CR. The reason for this is because men simply do not have the same sensitivity for things that women have, and a comment that men think is okay, a woman can consider it to be hurtful. There seem to be quite a few posts and comments here that unfortunately do hurt women. Whether they are intended as jokes or not is irrelevant. The alternative to having female mods is for men to be more sensitive in their posts about women, but that's probably asking for a miracle.

   I don't think there would be any downside do having female mods. It would only be beneficial.

   Incorrigible; semi-retarded; eccentric; perhaps a woman; not Mod 80. Sometimes a bit over the top.

   Yes but, unless they set it up so that each post has to be read by two mods, how will this help on average?

   Also, why do you make that assumption? Do you assume any generic person is male?

   Great idea, MP!

   Poppa, it helps because if a male mod lets a certain thread or post through, and the female mod finds it offensive, she can delete it or lock it.

   I nominate aries2756, if she has time of course.

   There have been female mods, I don't know if there are currently any. In any event, we usually don't look at deleted posts at all.

   popa, like QB said, perhaps the female mods can just every now and then check in and weed out posts that they feel are not in good taste towards women.

   And I make that assumption because of all the posts that may be hurtful to women that have never been deleted. But maybe I'm wrong to assume that. Maybe there are female mods, and they just don't notice these posts.

   Thanks, QB.

    Goq, I don't think it would be good to repeat them here, so I'll just say there have been such comments mostly in threads that discuss girls, whether in terms of them learning, in terms of tznius, and seminary.

    Toi, well I'm glad you found this thread, since I think this is an area you can really work on. Don't get me wrong, I'm sure you know much more torah than me and learn much more than me, but I think it would be really good for you to always think twice before you write something here which may come across as insulting or rude. Please don't get defensive, as I really don't want to upset you! I think it's great you really have a strong passion for what you believe in, and I greatly respect you for that, and although we generally don't agree on a lot of things, it helps when we can speak respectfully to others, especially when we don't agree with them.

    The concept is sound. I like it.

    The question is, does a female mod violate the rule of srara- melech velo malkah, or is it akin to a female mashgicha at a restaurant whose authority comes from a rabbi so it's ok?

    popa,
    I'm surprised that you didn't ask how females can be mods being that they aren't even Jewish!
