i agree with that as well.

and i have a problem with that. never voiced it b/c its not that serious. but a problem nonetheless.

i believe mods should have a login name different from casual browsing and 'patrolling' or 'managing behavior & conduct'. being admin and on the staff of a few other boards/forum we do the same thing to prevent members from accusing special treatment, targeting, selling dreams etc etc.

it kind of eliminates the oh well he banned me he disagreed with me! or he banned me b/c he knows im from NY and he's from the south, etc etc

and also, i believe it is highly unfair, if not ungrateful.

im not sure of the mod list. but the mods i do see bust their ass! fdd2blk and caligrown put up with alot!!!

you got assholes that get banned for doing stupid/idiotic ignorant shit and expect to keep getting away with it. getting banned making multiple names.

dont forget, you got spamming members.

all kinds of shit. i think we should give at least a lil credit. when im logged on, i always see caligrown and fdd2blk ONLINE

I was lucky (as a mod) in that my limited mod experience was with a HEAVILY moderated board - no bullshit was tolerated at all! And without going into detail, that was a very good policy for that forum. I tried moderating an unregulated board like this and found it very frustrating. I couldn't even imagine being a mod here - i mean as a member we can log off and walk away from the BS but as mod you have to wade in to see what the fuss is about and try to determine who, if anyone, should be reprimanded or thanked.

great idea about a different "browsing" account for mods - you should share that with RIU!

I see fdd logged in all the time and caligrown too.

It's not the mods job to give grow advice,but to administer the site. There are plenty of Brits on this forum who can give advice about local places to shop etc. However this site will always be North American(USA andCan.)biased, as we share things like common line voltages,so can use the same equipment,and I suspect we have the marjority of members. Personally I really enjoy having the UK members around.They have a slightly different point of view.

as a mod it is NOT my job to help you grow. do you need a thread moved or a post deleted? that i can do.


i have an issue with the first sentence of this thread............." i know you guys from over the water don't care."...............how dare you!!!


it's 2:18 am where i am. is your mod available? i'm up all night just for you.

ok man.
im sorry for being a dick.
but why should you have to stay up all night.
when someone else could do it?.
maybe from the uk.

just saying "i dont need help" right now, but when i started on this site, it was very overwhelming, cos everyone was american,.

i must say fdd, you do a good job either way. and caligrown too, ill shut up now.

i know you. you're crazy mental. you do this once in awhile. your point is more than valid. if we had a disgruntled member who wanted to start a bunch of messed up threads now would be the time to do it. cali's ready for bed and i'm only awake because i over slept my nap. with skunk being gone now there are several hours where the boards are mod free. what i suggest is that someone start a thread in the "support" section, if they haven't already, then politely state the things i just said and any other concerns. you do have a very valid point that if approached correctly will be addressed.


i didn't ask to be an american, it just happens when you're born here.
