Whats the deal!

Just a few reminders on the moderator appointments/voting:

Jeff was asked in by Rich as both Dean and myself were overworked with both our personal lives and this forum at that time, and he has been a tremendous help!

And these are why and how Dean, Mike and myself ended up with the job (if we only knew then...):

And as for why some members received infractions and bannings in the past and worse infractions have gone unpunished is because it has taken awhile for the mods to understand exactly how Rich wants this site moderated. We were learning in the beginning, trying to please everyone and jumping on things at the slightest report. Rich took us aside and told us that he didn't want this site run that way. He wants the members to have the freedom to express themselves a bit more freely, but have some guidelines to prevent things from going too far. There was a recent attempt at a quote of a post made by Dean to RetetedGeese/RaptorJesus/whoever, that does need to be addressed as it was out of line (but Dean already admitted to that and has stated that mods are not able to be given infractions because of how the system is set up so Dean...you go put yourself on a voluntary 3-day banning...but don't enjoy it ;) ). However, there has also been a load of terms used and alot of name-calling in many recent threads that has not completely crossed over the wide gray line Rich as sketched. Some may not like it and find it offensive, but neither you nor I make the rules.

Oh, and I know my photo is next to that "female dog" word in my encyclopedia as I put it there myself. Cross me hard enough and you'll find out just how much of one I really am, but you'll also not find a more loyal or staunch person that would do everything in her power to help a friend.

I'm sure that Rich has viewed this thread and if he has a problem, we would hear about it.

As for the Bobbsey Twins, go suck an egg!
 
She better toughen up there, Lord Shmuc...wait..what was your name again? ;)

LOL@Bobsey twins...I haven't heard that in decades...but I still love it!
Dean, if you take that vacation, I'll be expecting a new clan member!! :laugh:
 
Susan, please thank the Mr. for the lovely conversation regarding evolution over the aquarium. I'm still researching on that one. dave

I may not like everything that Susan the forumite has to say on a personal level, as far as snake chat goes you can't fault her.
But on a Mod level............
I've had quite a few run ins with Susan, in fact I've nearly had a ban by Susan, and Susan is the only mod to give me an infraction. (fair or not fair, who can tell)
So for all intents and purposes, I shouldn't figure very high on Susan's Christmas card list.
Yet when I made a statement in a post a while back, Susan was the only one to pm me and ask if I wanted it sorted, it went un noticed by the other mods. So as far as a mod goes, she does do a good job IMO, and you don't have to be a friend for her to be a loyal or staunch person that would do everything in her power to help.
Due to the credit crunch and Obamas borrowing this has now become my 10 cents..... Sheesh, inflation..

Careful. As someone that has been accused of being a Jew or at least Jew-ish in the past, I might take offense by such comments. If we can't use lynch, you can't use the term "shoes and handbags."
 
For the record, I don’t agree with Susan’s comments and feel like they were not appropriate for this site. That said, I think Susan has been a good moderator and I don’t want to loose her over this fiasco. I hope that she and everyone else can get past this.

I apologize to anyone I may have offended recently. I've crossed the line on a number of occasions, and for that I'm sorry. I can't promise that I'll elevate my behavior to a super-human level, and I'm not going to deny myself the right to express my opinions, but I will strive to be more dignified in my postings here.

I would especially like to apologize to J9. You know how much I've always admired and respected you. Don't think that I've gone completely to the dark side...

Since I too was one who was offended by your words... apology accepted.
