I’ve thought about that. It’s annoying when someone makes an asinine vote and doesn’t put their name on it

I'm sure jefe can see all of the votes anyway.

CoachSpeak

I assumed Jefe and possibly other mods could see who voted for what

Odysseus

I can see them; the other mods can't

El Jefe

Oh. Well there goes that reasoning. Make them public.

If a mod votes to increase, they're required to put their name to it

El Jefe

El Jefe needs to own his vote as well. He shouldn’t be allowed to hide

Well in my case 99% of the time he gave me the penalty...

I doubt I'm the only one that doesn't always vote to keep when I initiate the penalty. But it's probably usually a

I vote not to vote for some other reason if I gave it.

Really?? OK so let’s see.....

I'd say that about 99.9% of the time, nobody communicates how they voted.

El Jefe

I was surprised to find out how little discussion there actually is between mods on most appeals. Unless it is something

Exactly. Don’t want to risk a good paying job with the uncertainty in this economy.

More often I have to resist the urge to use the eye roll or laugh reactions on the appeals because I don't think Jefe

supertux

Me too, although I think I did eye-roll him once.

I think it should go the other way — make their votes anonymous so Jefe can't

chilango

Just as long as my company gives me a CB jury duty time code.

6/2/20 10:19am

It does seem the mods just vote with what Jefe wants anyway.

No. I vote the way I see it every time. I really could care less how El Jefe votes. Now, sometimes he'll explain his

I'd like to see the debates...

There is clearly a reluctance to oppose him. Also to admit that a mod might have
