airann 1 #51 September 5, 2003 QuoteI was an active participant in the rec.skydiving newsgroup. .... ...a cesspool of flamefests dominated by the mindless rantings of obnoxious morons AHH HA!!!! There you are!! I am still in psychiatric care over what WRECK DOT did for me. Frumpt... What is your ALF number? Flames are badddd, Ummm Kay. I will get you my pretty, and your little dog TOO. Okay, not the little dog Todo, but still. About the moderators.... .... Welp, my main thing on this topic is not the number of persons who practice Moderation. I believe they have pertinent input and do tastefully steer dialogue into better directions in almost all instances. Yet, I can see some non action as well, at times. Therefore, I dont resist any change in this arena. I think moderators are human beings and cant be every where at once. I know damn well I cant read every post time for it to deteriorate to a slamfest. This can be observed by a poster by leaving the forum, then dialing in again and see the number of posts since you last faced the login screen. Also, tone of voice in a message board is nearly impossible to determine whether or not the written word is sarcasim, just in fun, or a down right bloody mess. It could be, that a moderator reading every post by every one, can in fact know that a specific person isnt slamming, just inserting comments for whatever the above reason might be. ie. Having read so much of any one persons posts may clue a moderator in to 'knowing' the flavor of the posters wording. In summation, I think the majority of these moderators do a damn good job. If in some instances if something slips by and it gets kinda rough, its still better than getting the red ass over at wreck. Thank goodness I have friends over there who sheild some flames off my ass. Yet, I get a little blackend red ass at times both places. Here on dz.com there is some fairness. ~AirAnn~ Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

AggieDave 6 #53 September 5, 2003 QuoteHeck who's next? Clay? AggieDave?? God, I hope not! That would mean I'd have to be all responsible, or atleast try, and stuff. Anyways, who'd believe me if I was a moderator, that'd probably cause more harm then good.--"When I die, may I be surrounded by scattered chrome and burning gasoline."
