The moderators have lost control.
 

..

They need more help....


I volunteer.... I'm here all the time anyways... Might as well be productive...

Interesting your comments are now gone...

Sure would be nice if things would be consistant...

"a foolish consistency is the hobgoblin of little minds"

Looks like he edited them out himself.

Those who complain should go hang out on bimmerforums for a while.

Whoa! Look at that escargot! :eek:

No joke, that or the 'tex

I'd say they pretty much have their sh!dt together.

We're making things difficult for them lately.
But all will soon return to normal, I hope

Both those guys impress me with their evenhanded fairness. No way I'd have their job. I'd be yanked out of there in a day and Wayne would probably ban me permanently.

There - I've done the sycophant bit; not that it'll do me any good because I'm sure I'm on both of the poopy head's lists to stay.

I say they've done a LOT to clean out the place, with more work ahead. Still, amazing progress.

First time I ever agreed with you....

That's Ralph Waldo Emerson.

Another of his is "I hate quotes. Tell me what you know." :)

I actually did edit them out myself.

What I said was that I have met both of them, and felt they were overwhelmed; then I thought better of that and tried to delete the thread. I guess once someone else posts, the original poster cannot delete it anymore.

Pelican seems to go thru these cycles. I have never gotten used to them.

It could be worse. It has been worse...It will be worse again.

Now and forever...

My question is will any level of standard or interpretation thereof satisfy such a diverse group of individuals.

You'd think with all the money the poopy-heads get paid to monitor this forum they'd do a better job ;)

Seriously, I really don't think the problem lies with the moderators.
The inmate are getting a bit too familar with the board and it is breeding contempt.
Then they act all surprised when they get their hand slapped.

the moderators are doing just fine even though the moderator/troll ratio is way out of balance.

I've paid a lot over the past 11 years for this forum...

Well, I haven't been breeding with anyone on the board!

Just sayin.

That implies that we actually had control at some point.

I hate to tell you guys, but if there is a problem with the board, look in the mirror. The rude and mean spirited posts come from all sides. And they are tolerated (and in fact encouraged) by some/many here. These days I pretty much only come around when someone reports a post. imho a minority of posters drag the dialogue into the toilet, but the majority seem to accept it.

So in fact the moderators haven't lost control since we never had it. It is the individuals and the community that have set the tone. Until people step up and a) clean up their act, and b) report the offensive posts, there will be no control. It is true that not all reported posts get dealt with - that is a judgment call. But if multiple people complain, they pretty much always get dealt with. If you go by the letter of the forum rules, a ton of posts should be moderated. We let much of it slide because everyone here are adults (?!?!?) and the community has been pretty good over the past decade (?!?!?) I've been here at self-policing. Maybe we do need a crack-down period. But frankly that just seems to embolden some and piss off others.

If you stare at it long enough it comes into focus ;)

The trubble are most caused by like some nasty little gurls post here.

Like they raised up and not ever have training bras.

Now we got lottsa uncontroll boobs rune everything.

It is the springtime. Spring fever has hit.

This is not unlike when in the animal world, the grizzly bear comes out of hibernation and craps all over the place to mark his territory.

Except here, folks fling their poo at each other instead.

Springfever anmial instincts - that's all it is. In a week or two, some folks will be shedding their winter coats and malting. I'm just not looking forward to mating season this year -- with the long winter and rainy spring, it's gonna be a mess to clean up this place! :eek:

If you are familiar with the signs of the turning of the seasons, you wouldn't be surprised by what's going on here...

-Z-man.

Did someone say gurls?

Posts tend to appear in good fun but many times there is an under tone that belies the humor.........

No axes to grind on your part...what a great idea!

LOL, that's eactly what I was thinking.
The hardest part of being a good poopy-head is not letting it get personal.
Some of us (especially me) would not be good moderators.

For a site where testosterone is dripping from the screen - it isn't bad - I've seen worse.

I am not imature you... big... stupid... thingie!

I try to malt every chance I get!

kind of taking the idea to an illogical extreme there, doncha think?

Like a sailor throwing up his hands and saying "hey, I can't control which way the wind blows . ..if the boat beaches itself, it's not my fault. ...the wind..."

There are a few here posting w/ no interest in anything other than being a stick in the spokes of discussion. ...no points, or counter-points, just childish hot air, pushing the boat to the rocks.

Trim the sails, man. ...even if it's just a quick PM or 2.

Silly phases start, run for awhile, then die out. Not the first time.

It's your anmial instinct.

Careful, that stuff is dangerous! It should sometimes be rated as a hazardous substance. :p

just look at my tagline...
