A Reminder About Harassment and Discussing Mod Actions on the Open Board

[BULLDOG]

So you took the Dorittoes

Don't care about Dorittoes. I need to know WHO LET THE DOGS OUT??
or
Who put the Bop in the Bop shu Bop shu Bop?

 

[Grumpyolman]

I haven't posted here as much as some of you, but I can tell you from experience elsewhere the mods here are pretty mellow.

No, but always wondered about the free beer in the mod lounge fridge. I've never seen it.

The RULES state issues with moderation should be taken up by PM with the mods. There is also mention that harassment will not be tolerated. This includes any form of harassment aimed at moderators.

The mods have been very lenient in the past with allowing some of you to question us about decisions we have made on the open board and also with the harassment we receive whether as replies in threads, having threads started about us, mocking us in threads we participate in as members, etc. We have answered questions some of you have had regarding why threads were moved, posts deleted, etc. We have taken time to explain why we do what we do and how we go about it. We have played "nice" while taking heat and threats from many of you on the open board and also in PMs. Those days are over!

Consider this announcement the ONLY warning to all members of this forum: Any and all violations of the rules mentioned above WILL NOT BE TOLERATED and WILL result in BANS! If ANY of you think you are above the rules, think again!

AWWWW

how about
being banned with no notification or reason provided.
having threads moved with no explanation
being banned from threads with no explanation.

How about you clean your own house first?

Can I just say one thing, if a mod does something to a post or a person etc.., can they at least say who did it to the person who did the post. It's not rocket science, and if the recipient wants to complain, clarify, or ask for further information, then they know who to ask.

To put it in the mod pool and ask a random mod for any idea.......

 

[Natural Citizen]

Ah well. I said that one thing was all I was gonna say about it and here I am still popping off about it.

Drama...

The forum software is supposed to send notifications to the member when any mod action is taken on their posts.

 

[BlueGin]

So any MOD can post with strong TDS and not be replied to? got it. These special MODS can troll certain posters willy-nilly and not be responded to? Got it.// Rules for the elite.//

That’s the way I read it. Mods can go after posters on a personal level but not the other way around.

 

[Road Runner]

No "what ifs," RR. If you have a question or comment about any moderator action, the rule is to contact the mods and take it up privately in PM with them.

Simple enough. No further explanation needed.

Apparently Aye and other mods are taking questions in this thread though.

Same thing I ask when I look for the Dorittoes I just bought. Son says the same dang thing.

That's me every time I hear a siren outside.

I've been noticing that thanks as it gives us a better idea of who to contact for questions.

That’s the way I read it.

As did most of us originally.

May I suggest at this juncture that we all bow our heads together, put our hands across our hearts, and have a good, long cry for all those feeling put upon by this most unfortunate news?

I'm not one of those people that Grumblenuts was talking about, but I really like the song.

Thanks. Just trying to remind, we're all in this together.

Oh gosh my childhood (or should I say teenagehood) is calling me right now.

I wish that were true... I remember when America was together... but I digress

Well I met true patriots on here like you that I sort of guess you could call friends just the online kind but yeah, as a country in general that is a very true statement.

 

[Rambunctious]

follow the rules and the mods will RELAX some rules? How does that make sense. Rules are rules. DO the police relax speeding rules when people start obeying that rule?? Hell no. They lower the speedlimit!! LOLOL Relax the rules: What does that mean precisely.

It means letting some small offenses slide... why is that so hard to understand?... Moderators can't do that if people are constantly breaking the board rules... those rules are there to protect us all from being overly abused by other members.... like stalking and getting too personal... other rules are in place so the board can be moderated smoothly...
So read the rules and do your best to follow them...
