Get Yer Ya-Yas Out [FR Moderating Gripe Thread]
Posted on 03/15/2004 11:01:45 AM PST by I Am Not A Mod

[history]
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.

Poor thing. I can't imagine why someone with that sweet, sunny disposition was ever banned in the first place, can you? LOL
To: Tamsey
Yes ma'am,
we surely can tell a lot about a person by his/her enemies.

THANKS TONS.
GOODNESS,
If I couldn't apologize for my many errors, it seems like some weeks, I wouldn't have anything to say or talk about!
Sigh.
In any case, I figure humility has GOT to be better than the opposite regardless of how costly.
I just wish I could find humility at WalMart on a 2 for 1 bushel sale. I seem to specialize in paying the maximum price for it far too often!
THANKS ENORMOUSLY FOR YOUR GRACIOUSNESS.
I wish I could think of who it was, too. I'd like to be better prepared for specifically THAT person without all the false positives all over good folk like you!!!

We used to be friends. The post you replied to was civil and not to or about you. You are way out of line.
To: Senator Pardek
Crushing a "nut sack" with a "ball-peen" hammer is most original from that crowd - I was expecting "Yo momma wears army boots!" Well, the spelling, grammar, correct punctuation ruled out 95 percent of them.
I think I'll go over there and register as spazmatazSUX; Fred's been "calling me out" over there for months.

I will second your vote to have the thread restored. While there was a lot of disagreement on what was being discussed, most seemed to be enjoying themselves thoroughly.
The material is an important part of our country, our history and does have bearing on our political life as well.

Are you the "referenced" guy in post #823?
If so, please see my post #837.

And some "enemies" are so obviously lacking in character that an insult from them really equals a stupendous compliment ;-)

Speaking of "doing something," why don't you name some of these people you perceive to be a "pack of regulars who operate in concert".
