Get rid of some of the newbies that are causing the problem. And, yes, some of them may be return members that dropped out, or were kicked off earlier.


Exactly what I was thinking.

I think the newbies who are the trouble-makers e.g. the ones talking against the FPD are anti-social elements who are just getting internet-savvy. Perhaps they are ex-Folsom jail birds trying to get back at their captors!

Probably, if you see these people on the road they may be one of those homeless kind of guys from sacramento, preying on the high class Folsomites!

Ok....I guess I crossed the line. Looks like a couple of my posts got MYLO'd. When posts get deleted should we expect a PM from a moderator explaining what was inappropriate?

For me, I don't moderate much, but, when I do, I don't necessarily have the time to go back and PM someone as to why. I hope you understand, and I appreciate your question. There are times when a post could get deleted if it was quoting the "offensive" post. I guess you could call that collateral damage.

"Moderating" is kind of a pain, and it fills my inbox with non-stop complaints about others' posts. I delete a few posts a month, and it usually has to be pretty offensive (usually a threat to kick someone's a** or calling someone a name outright).

While it was an honor to be asked at first, it's not like it gets me or any of the other mods any "benefits" other than to be 2nd-guesses. If you really want the "job", PM John for consideration. I've got a family and real job that take priority.

I would imagine this is how my daughter's kindergarten teacher feels... everyone running to the mods about this or that post being offensive or attacking.

Back to the original topic, I've been there and have taken my own sabbatical from this site. Anyway, hope you'll come back but I also hope that this forum does become nicer with the return of warmer weather... can't wait for the 80s at the end of the week.

I remember my first attempt at quitting this site. I made a big announcement like chris did, swearing to never return, and stormed off for, what, a whole month?

+1000

Having been around message boards for close to 10 years, I've seen it a LOT. When I need a break, I don't storm off in a huff. I just slink away. hee
THANK YOU FOR SUPPORTING MY GIRL.

Because, despite the inherent weirdness, this IS a community, even though I've never met some of you in person.
