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.

[I got the rope]

This is what I want:

Full Power of ZOT for just one evening (8hrs)!

GIVE ME THE ROPE!

Is this too much to ask?

[Pan_Yans Wife]

I'm sorry, then. I didn't know you had a bone to pick, tonight. Hoping you soon feel better.

[nopardons]

You lied. You made up some mindless drivel,which I never posted,claimed it to be one of my posts,and then called me insane. All of this, without pinging me. You are a CRAVEN LIAR and a poltroon.

[onyx]

Thanx for the headsup JR he's one of those posters who will talk about someone and not let them know.





How are you doing tonight Pa Kettle or is it Ma?

[Mo1]

Actually, it's turned really ugly.....almost aberrant behavior involving droll on monitors. It's quite a disgusting visual.

Oh .. Maybe I will read the whole thread after all .. disagreements are ok .. but nastiness isn't needed .. or called for

[breakem]

He thinks I'm the secret leader of all things homosexual. My wife is asking for evidence. LOL!

[Howlin]

this thread was a good place to put it.

There is another place you can put it.

[dalereed]

"Hey dale, is that a self-portrait to the right of your handle?"

Have no idea, I didn't put it there.

[nopardons]

Thanks!:-)

The poor benighted Lepers and their fellow travelers,are to be pitied;poor things.

[Mo1]

We don't seem to have BEDS in the Eastern Standard Time zone.

ROFL!!! .. I think I use to have one

[Howlin]

I saw that............LOL..........I sat here a few minutes trying to figure that one out!

I mean, you and I don't always agree, but, damnit, I've NEVER seen you giving off ANYTHING even close to that!!!

[Luis Gonzalez]

"My wife is asking for evidence."

Hey!

How is Stan these days?

:-)

[DaughterOfAnIwoJimaVet]

LOL (I think that qualifies as a Personal Attack™ - but watch - if anything happens because of it, it will be all nopardons' fault: "THAT _____ GOT ME BANNED!!!")

[spazmataz]

Y'all can do that from LP or other such anti-Bush/anti-Free Republic sites.

LP's a lot more than that, you deceitful maggot! If you're so concerned about "personal attacks," then why hasn't nopardons been banned? Huh? You're such a liar and deserve to have your nut sack crushed with a ball-peen hammer.

[Pan_Yans Wife]

Don't they have some of the same attributes as stalkers?

[Bob J]

Dale's AOK.

[breakem]

He's what I almost like about you. You defend the most obnoxious posters. Some one has to do it.

What's the ma and pa kettle stuff? Unusual namecall. And yes I do know who they are.

[maxwell]

I thought this thread was to bash the Mod.

[I got the rope]

BWWWAAAAAHHHAAAA!

[Quix]

That label should be reserved for Shrillery, satan et al.

I'd guess that either she said something against some of your sacred cows

or

you have very thin skin

or

you label people POS with casual abandon

or

your pride got pricked

or

???
