Comrade Brian said:I think I saw a post from Navy from yesterday. But this thread is from aps, and is probably a joke. As seeing I don't think aps likes either of the two.

If you two are checking the site, I hope you know I am thinking of you. :2wave:

Could not agree more, but cursing is not the issue. It is rediculus to ridicule the users to the point that they no longer wish to be a part of our community. We have seen evidence to prove this. I do agree that some folks have a stronger backbone and others take every word seriously and cry themselves to sleep after getting slammed on a forum post. To cirumvent this, we have a basement for crazy flaming and the rest of the forum for quality discussion.Hoot said:Personally, this banning is getting a little ridiculous. We're all adults, or supposed to be...why get upset over someone who uses a bit of derogatory language? As long as it's not outright cursing, or a sling of 4-letter words, who cares?
To you and many folks here that are veterans of forums - yes. We are able to ignore the ignorant and continue to the quality posters. It is rare for our mod team to moderate a thread without a "reported" event. There is just too much going on.When someone starts using derogatory language, it only proves they're losing the debate and have no intelligent rebuttal.
LOL, that would be nice but only cator to a few users. Every, and I mean *every* complaint is taken seriously.I propose that anyone who makes 3 complaints against another poster in say, a 3 month period, should also be banned for a week for being a whining little crybaby...and certainly, should lose moderator status.
My guess is that galenrox asked for a PM so that he might share with you details that might not need to be in public. He was direct, but he takes the action very seriously. Keep in mind that we do not have to share to the public about any action taken against a member.I was asked to write a private message the next time I had concerns about banning posters, yet why should I hide my comments when the banning seems to be taking place under the table without the knowledge of the other members of this group?
LOL, I assure you that these actions were not without merit or "on the fly". Hopefully they will be back and once again prove to be adversaries worthy of a good strong discussion.I'm not fond of the political stances of Navy or KC, but banning for a week? I'm begining to think we need a FISA court to oversee the mods? LOL
