Are you going to be ""fair"" and ask all the other posters on the terrestrial forum to go back and edit every single one of their crude post?

This thread is about whether or not to restore a mod team. Still and all, I'd like to make a suggestion that piggy backs off Gad's offer to take care of the place. If I were asked to make the call this very day, I would suggest Gad and RI work together at least through this interim period until Shades is able to return.

I think they'd work well as a team and collaborate as to what is needed at least in the short term. Two heads are better...and would result in some good coverage for the board.

And I said this in the Paradise threads pertaining to repeated calls for moderation. There is literally nothing that a moderator can do here that cannot be reversed should Shades determine it needed correction.

All they would need to do up front is identify any housekeeping they think needs tending to and then act on reports as they come in. That would tide us over, I think.

Your point is what? Is the F word a part of a conspiracy re: restoring a mod team?

Thanks for posting yet another example of your attempts to derail a discussion.

To be honest, I think Atlanticmike needs to chill and go spank his monkey. All that bottled and pent-up frustration needs to be dealt with!

Dude, go take care of it. You so need to.

At any point in the 8 months before I got here you could've told Doc Cam to settle down and not call posters mushroom dick sucking assholes. But you didn't. Now, I'm your target because you can't accept responsibility for breaking the rules yourself.
Again, how is it the responsibility or ability of other posters to force a board member to ‘not troll’ or namecall?

Maybe react to them as they did to subgenius and his own attempts to troll and namecall, as example? Except, that made you troll and spam.

Maybe ask them not to, as you suggest? Like asking you or Cultellus magically forced you to not troll? Except, that didn’t happen, either.

You are unwilling or unable to follow your own advice and ‘solution’.

Your argument is broken and disingenuous. It’s just an excuse to muck up the works. You know it, too. ;)
Just to emphasize, there is no rule requiring people who post here to confront the person who posts something that breaks the rules. Also, the rules have no exceptions that allow one to break the rules in response to others breaking the rules.

Mike also assumes that no one has ever raised Doc's posting style with him. That would be incorrect. in my opinion, raising this kind of issue with another poster is more likely to have some effect if it is done privately. That takes the public posturing out of the discussion.

Hey Gadianton! Have you typed in those cuss words yet into the terrestrial search bar?? Guess who comes up a lot, that's correct, Doc Cam! Also Jersey and Lem pop up also. You going to ask them to delete foul language from the terrestrial forum??

Hey Res,

Thanks!

I have been wanting to post something similar to this more than once - but decided to refrain.
I call 'em as I see 'em.
I know you do, Res. I have seen it countless times.

In large part, It is this unique quality that you often display on the board that has earned my deep respect for you and my admiration of you. I'm a big fan!
