I'm not withdrawing. I just wouldn't want to drag the arguments from the forum to the moderation. Is a nice way of saying it shouldn't be the people who fight (including you) although I like you all including Fierce.
I've moderated table tennis forums including about. As I say, I'm an extremely light-handed moderator. It has to be something obvious.
If it was summer I might. Do they have cool ruins there?

We should make a chart of current and past members and who's who. I don't know or remember well enough anymore.

As a moderator you would step into a conversation and tell the parties to end it, that enough is enough. If one or both ignored you then privately you decide what punishment to dole out. If you don't see an infraction taking place but are notified by the forum of a complaint then you review the issue at hand and make a call based on what you discover. No parties are brought into a private conversation in an attempt to resolve. It's either ended on your word within the thread or you take care of it behind the scenes.

Im with you on picking the two and you as a moderator. Prakash stays above the fray? Not entirely true. No Nat King Cole? Too bad. Hedley and i definately should be disqualified. Platform? Qualifications? Geez No i havn't registered as PAC and i think it's in everone's best interest if i withdraw. That is an official withdraw. Have at it i not even voting. I can handle what ever happens its no big deal. Not sure how Dubby or Hedley could moniter me when im on ignore but im sure they will work it out. I know who the two are you prefer and i agree with you. You can still have a free week in Nic anytime you want and im serious. Offer is off the table to all others. I'd be happy if you donated to the ad-free option for a month or two so I don't have to worry about copy right infringement on any of the content that I post here for everyone's sake. Making the forum ad-free means we are a non-profit operation and most content providers don't have a problem with borrowed content as long as noone is making $ and it's not being used for commercial purposes. As long as we use the content for personal discussion it's doubtful that any content owner would pursue this forum or complain to the host when there are other forums out there regurgitating their content while getting paid for ads or memberships. We'd be nothing more than spit in the wind to a major media outlet. Thnx for the invite though ... much appreciated.

We should make a chart of current and past members and who's who. I don't know or remember well enough anymore. There's an alphabetical listing of current members under the "Members" pick at top of the page. You might be able to copy and past them to a thread in the "General Info" section and ask each to identify their current avatar with their original at BDC.

Im sure its all secure but if my bank card gets compromised im back to the states this has been my only hesitation.

Im sure its all secure but if my bank card gets compromised im back to the states this has been my only hesitation. Yes, I just got two 50k page view donations that I can apply as needed. These cost about $16 and will cover us for 2 months. I will start applying in Sept or Oct. Follow directions above I provided to Cole. A one time purchase of 100K page views will cover 2 months. I will match that purchase and we will be good for the next 4 months ... 2 more months will get us into Feb. That's a great start and means we won't need ad-blockers and I will feel more secure posting content w/o fear of reprisal from our hosting company (Proboards) or the media outlets we access for content. A big "Thanx" to cole for the donation!

OK im digging my card out, The first time i have used it here except at the Citi Bank hacking is the norm here. Cole has been the only one? Not suprised. Nat King Cole should run this forum the other picks including me are worse than 45.

Thanks! And I vote for you. :-) I am willing to help admin moderate. Just a few issues: I go through periods where work doesn't even leave breathing space. Also, I have to travel a bit too. This also means that I will have to take Dfries off of ignore list and refrain from getting into pissing contests with him. OK, I suppose that will have to be done if necessary. I am loath to control anything. Frankly admin, if I join you will find me protesting all moderation except the foulest language and egregious personal attacks. As an example, I protested Fierce's exclusion the first time. I did not protest the next time when you justified that Fierce was picking up content from here and posting on other boards. Perhaps too much repetition can also be moderated as it makes the board boring. I will be happy not to take on this role as it will save me time. But if it helps improve the enjoyment of participants on this forum, I will volunteer.

Sounds like a pretty hands off board.
I might be tempted to censor talking about each-others families. I'm not a fan of that.

I try to do that now ... if I see something of that nature I delete the offensive phrases or language which helps to avoid conflict and complaints. It's not done often but as needed to keep the peace.

I actually agree with your view on moderation. I'm really tired of fighting with you and Hedley but my temper makes promises hard to keep. For the most part have been quiet the past month or so. It has a good chance that will continue at least that is my hope. I have less issues with you than Hedley for what's it's worth. If you guys want me to pack up and leave for the betterment of this forum i will today. Just say the word and im gone . Fair enough? Im stiil not so happy that you and Hedley sided with Fierce over the boss is my biggest beef.

Attachment Deleted....I use ^^^ "product" first. The "troof" counts little over the internet... .... while a sense of humor counts more. So try it out amigos. Pud

Somebody here needs sufficient gonads to speak "troof".... otherwise we be at the mercy of the haters, the whiners, the name droppers, the bullies, the mofo's and the Laker and IT trolls. And who wants that?? Calling el gondo in Mexico.... Pud

No what im talking about is someone who obviously lies about what somone else here has posted. I don't mind getting sarcasm but quoting lies about what the other person said is..... Being a damn liar. I can take the hits don't lie about what i said. Pud this is no joking matter .
Seriously i have enough liars around me i don't need to come here and here it.
What's the use in calling them out em out ? Out where? No one cares about honesty here . Doughtful i survive this transistant period.

Know what? Just carry on and just ignore me. I have a family of Trump supporters in Va who i need to devote my distaste for. Nothing here is real anyway it's all make believe.
Carry on and send me to the front lines.
