Actually, it's a matter of perception, I ran a very popular board for over 10 years and had many moderators, but I was very hands on, we had rules etc, however there are times when ones mindset gets to a point of there authority is the end all be all and what was done was done and if you didn't like it too bad. Well, they did stay in that position long! There has to be rules and structure, but there also has to be some checks and balances as well and there should always be and understanding that some things just are on the edge of going overboard. There are other sections here that I have been checking in on as 1 particular individual is going way out there and nothing has happened to that individual, so it's not always a level playing field and there are times where some decisions are over the top, but the sad fact is, you have no latitude to do anything about it, it's those good ole TOS that gets you every time! As humans we are going to make mistakes, have a transgression here and there and there are those that just let things go straight to their head for whatever reason, human nature, gotta love it, NOT! But what can you do, like it or leave it is about as good as it gets, or have the decision made for you regardless of the circumstances, I mean, look at what is going on all around us everyday, seems to seep in everywhere, no place is sacred anymore. :facepalm:


And that's all complicated by the sheer size of this site. The mods have a LOT of acreage to cover. I can also understand why they don't have the time to hold people's hands thru every action and can come off as curt and dismissive.
I also modded a site. Much smaller than this, thank God.

...[A bunch of old man ramblings]...

climbing off soapbox...
you may now return to your scheduled chaos :)

Make sure you take a bar with you. And use some water this time eh?

I have a 'beta' version of your spreadsheet done if you'd like to give it a whirl. I'll try to PM it to you, otherwise I'll upload it to my site & send you a link.

I eat while I watch. My family thinks I'm insane. They're probably right. :D

I made a nurse leave the room once. She made the mistake of telling me that I probably shouldn't watch while she took some blood samples (I always watch, doesn't bother me any). So I moved my head even closer & started giving her commentary on how she was doing. I think she was new. :D A couple minutes later this tiny old lady came in to finish the job, laughing her .... off. She was fun.

lol, No mcol, was not referring to you, ok, I will state this, I got to a point where all I could do was shake my head as my daughter seems to think that every move she makes, everything she does needs to be posted on facebook and this holds true for a good majority of people on facebook, I don't care what you had for lunch unless we are actually talking about it as a topic, but to arbitrarily post everything you do on there is just way out there. We have very little privacy left and our rights have been all but thrown in the garbage as is and you just want to post you entire life's daily routine at every second, no thank you. When go on there I see nothing but a bunch of pictures being posted about things are I just don't need or want to see every second of everyday on there! It served a purpose for me years ago, but has become nothing but an attention seeking venue that has little worth as far as my opinion goes. I pop on there maybe once or twice a week and that's it and spend perhaps 10 minutes as that is about all I can take of it.

Oh, btw, what did you have for lunch? :D


I agree Dusty..... Mine have gotten so bad, I have to check FB to see what they are up to these days. Heaven forbid they pick up a phone and call , NOT text, call and T A L K . To me a text is a dismissal..... " I said what I wanted, I'm done, deal with it " grrrr


btw whatchaeatin, vapin, wearin ?????????

Being a supervisor in law enforcement I know people breaking the rules is the reason why I have a job. With that I stay out of these debates because I am sure my opnion would be less than favorable and I like all of you. On that note I am vaping a 100% VG juice from another vendor and hate how muted it feels. I really dig the flavor and feel it would be a real keeper if I could get it in 50/50.

Ok since you weren't referring to me, then it will be my
pleasure to keep you all up to date minute by minute on what

Dusty, I am just so insulted that you do not follow me on FB and know whenever I am going to shower! LOLOL

Seriously, I rarely post on FB. I only joined because my teenage son asked me to in order to play a game. I was then tracked down by my fathers creepy family.

Anyways.... I am vaping green apple, watermelon sour today :) Lovely blend that I custom ordered from MBV and it needed almost no steep time at all.. Which was a pleasant surprise. Although it has improved with age :)

I never mentioned anything about hand holding and that isn't something that needs to be done, however as you stated the sheer size of the site and all the sections that are on it are a lot of ground to cover, this in itself would also make you think that certain areas would not be hit upon unless there was a lot of disruption going on and the fact that certain people have been somewhat targeted could make one think that it is more personal and being watched!

If you enable PM's I can send you my email addy, much easier to just email. yes ???
