Jim, fire your moderators now!

[postingprivilegesrevoked]

Jim,

It's your forum so do what you want, but you aren't getting another dime from me until you fire your moderators!

This smells like conspiracy and looks like conspiracy Jim.

Paid or not paid, fire your moderators now!

[ppaul]

You don't mean...oh my...the VAST MODERATOR-WING CONSPIRACY, do you???

Precisely.

[Tennessee_Bob]

No argument there. It seems though that there are some mods with hair triggers - and extremely thin-skinned about comments from users about the mods. If I could suggest one thing, it would be that the moderators develop a thicker skin - they shouldn't take comments directed towards them so seriously, since they have quite a bit of power on the board, and especially in light of the fact that they are anonymous.

[Rodney King]

Precisely. That is what was happening before Jim/John invented moderators. I was once flamed for making what I thought was a well reasoned comment to a discussion. One of the parties thought that he was in a private discussion, rather than a public thread.

That still happens. It has happened to me on the daily bush love-in threads (and I like Bush, too) as well as on the South Africa threads.

Years ago, I use to cringe at the vulgar language and personal assults launched by all too many people on FR.

Now with moderators, it is down to a level of personal insults which one can tolerate.

Like it or not, it was all brought about by the intemperate posting of too many people.

In this social setting, when one remains nameless and faceless, he or she tends to say and do things that are unacceptable in face to face gatherings.

Well, I'm going to the first night at Madison Square Garden -- and will be sitting almost right next to the stage. :-D

[Iwentsouth]

People are putting subliminal messages in posts!

[SpottedBeaver]

Yikes! Say no more! Saaaaayyyyy nooo more!

[Scuttlebutt]

There have been some funny lines on this thread but nothing can compare to your - "Wow, who licked the red off your candy?"

It's a classic.

[HairOfTheDog]

Just looked... he is NCFBTN.... Loved this thread!... Buckaroo Death Spiral

Doubt this is him though... not enough profanity.

a nod is as good as a wink to a blind bat.

[Texaggie79]

HEY! You, of all people, aren't supposed to know about that trick........... :P

For one of dem there owls, I foresee in their future, a psychologist, and probably a good heap'in o' drugs........

[NYC GOP Chick]

That's so sad. You're going to miss this

Btw, I have a link to a site with some, um, interesting pictures that might interest you, if you like Roger Daltrey...

[EggsAckley]

Moderation is not censorship, moderation is necessary.

I agree. Moderation is quality control.

[NeoCaveman]

You liked Twin Peaks too, you must be the cool moderator.

[Texaggie79]

Who is that?

[Lucius Cornelius Sulla]

One of the parties thought that he was in a private discussion, rather than a public thread.

There used to be a lot of that 'how dare you post to me, I wasn't posting to you nonsense. You would think they had never heard of freepmail. It wasn't worth JimRob's time, but when things are slow, the mods can get people to knock off that kind of stuff.

[Dan from Michigan]

I thought Jimmy was in Lake Michigan swimmin' wit da fishis, or part of I-696...

[Tennessee_Bob]

Could you please delete this response.

For God's sake, Admin Moderator, do something! He has a keyboard, and he's not afraid to use it!!!!
