Get Yer Ya-Yas Out [FR Moderating Gripe Thread]

[I Am Not A Mod]

LM here.

It's been a while since we had a thread along these lines.

I can tell from comments I am seeing in threads, on abuse reports, and in Freepmail that some people are unhappy with various policies and their implementations by the staff here.

I've seen allegations that certain factions are picked on. I've seen allegations that the moderators have killed activism. I've heard rumors that we killed Kenny, and even that we killed the radio star. I see certain personality conflicts acting up, and know that one (or both) sides in it feel that we aren't doing what we should.

So let's open this can of worms.

This thread is for making your grievances heard. If you think something stinks or is wrong, make your case here. Back it up with facts. Let the audience at large weigh in on your evidence.

I'll read the thread. Jim will too in all likelihood. So will the other moderators. Depending upon how well you make your point, and depending on if you can convince Jim, me, the other moderators, and/or the world, maybe you can change things. And if you don't, then it might make you feel better to have vented, so it won't make this thread a total loss.

I'm not going to reply to this thread for quite a while. Rather, I am going to sit back and watch to try and get a feel for the general tenor. I encourage those who are both happy and unhappy with things to particpate in this thread.

Let's rock.

Why was my Franken thread pulled???? The claim was that I was "SOLICITING." HUH?????? I was not soliciting. I support him in no way!! It was like rallying troops to protest at a Hillary rally. I want answers because no terms of service was violated and it would have been a fun thread. Second, I was gagged for a day with no explanation when I went at it with whoaas on a gay marriage thread when he insulted me and then condescended me. Pull the thread, but don't gag people who did not instigate the fight.

I've pinged her.
She's likely busy with her real life.
The hour is early.

We may run into more fair use trouble if this site seems to tie itself to one party and bans dissenting voice.

Geeze.

[Quix]

I think it would be

GREAT FOR FR

to get rid of the innuendo

in such matters. However, I wouldn't like to see the Mod's taxed by a lot of endless rebuttles. That would not be good for the Mods or for FR, IMHO.

I think I realize now . . . that I began the line brakes emphases because of so much CARPING about my LIBERAL USE OF ALL CAPS--which are easier for me to read 4 feet from my screen in grandma's tolerable but not well fitting La-Z-Boy.

If you want to see it, he can reinstate the thread he pulled from yesterday. She had no problem taking a disgusting pot shot at a very decent man and his children simply because she had nothing better to do. As far as my comment about her being a lady goes, breeding is for horses. Class is for humans.

[TheSpottedOwl]

Who's "she" Quix?

If you mean nopardons,

why would she lurk?

She hits her detractors head-on.

No stab-you-in-the-back stuff from her.

Heck no, she goes right for the eyeballs with a three pronged fork ;-)

[brityank]

Thanks, Maggie =

Just wanted him to know there are some very good folks here to offset the trolls. :^)

Cheers,
Mike.

[Quix]

I

KNOW

better than that--except by HIS BLOOD, GRACE, SPIRIT!

But it's great to read the words. Thanks.

[Amelia]

The comments about nopardons make me feel as if I've stumbled onto an LP thread.

She & I went at it tooth and nail one night, and we've been great friends ever since. :-)

[Texasforever]

So she is now a horse? You have yet to post a "vile and putrid" example. Should I call you a liar?

[viaveritasvita]

>>>How about a FR page with just a quick reference list of all the html codes I,B,U,font size,image sizing,image pasting? JUST a list.<<<

Second that.

How about "ignore" capability?

[Quix]

Evidently

I AM

the silly, blind, ignorant and cheeky one.

Sorry. I think I lost track of the meaning amidst the words way back, evidently.

Thanks for the agreement! I need all the help I can get, obviously!

[farmfriend]

I was so glad you flagged me to those posts. Afraid I had to weigh into the rest of the fray as well.

[Texasforever]

Hell that is because LP land is posting every word about her right now and are writing in orgasmic ecstasy.

[ShadowDancer]

You could, but it wouldn't mean a thing to me. If I were lying or you had any conviction it would. Since neither apply, not so much.

[Quix]

Truth enough to that, alright!

Actually, now that I think of it, I've had some pretty civil exchanges with her recently.

Not sure why. Glad for that, though.

[onyx]

Heck no, she goes right for the eyeballs with a three pronged fork ;-)





Exactly right.
She wouldn't be yakking about her detractors without first meeting them head-on.

[Pan_Yans Wife]

Doesn't the HTML Sandbox fit that description?

[onyx]

Thank you, Quix.
You're honest.

[Rightly Biased]

He is a She and She'll let ya know it too.
