I hope it's not turning any newbies off when they first join.
I'm glad I'm not the only one here who has *no* issue whatsoever with the moderation of these forums.
Why don't you start your own forum?
Have no rules whatsoever, let people post whatever they want, let them run havoc through threads, flooding, hikacking and basically running things their own way.
Of course you will let them do that right? ;)
I guarantee you, that someone, somewhere, at some point, somehow, will end up pissing you off. You can't please everyone all the time.
I have yet to come across a forum of any signifigant traffic that does *not* have Mods or an Administrator who oversees and controls things to some extent.
I'm sorry you're so upset about all of this, does it also have anything to do with your quest to get a `Homework Requests' thread? because those bother you so much too?
Maybe it's time for some to step away from the comp and go outside and get a breath of fresh air :D

Hmmm and I suppose this thread may be closed now too...
I hope not... I rather enjoy this thread.
I hope that we can restrict our complaints to Private Messages, be they valid or not, until desperate action needs to be taken... and so far... i see no need for desperate action...
I don't honestly care whether or not you guys have valid complaints or not... all i know is that its not too terribly important to everyone right now.... and i'm sure that a lot of us will appreciate it, me included, if we kept those complaints to the appropriate places.
Den, i was just a little upset dats all..
Oh i think i should go the bath room now and weep
Ok, new random thought before I go, while vainly trying to respond to sub's quiz a while back (I forgot to copy and paste before I hit send and was bumped off), I was reminded of my Froggy Christmas CD (the most embarassing one I have). I put it on today for fun because it's rather cute, especially with the frogs singing Blue Christmas. My birds went crazy! They loved it! Now I feel I dug a hole, that I'll have to put that CD on every once in a while to make them happy. All I wanted was a mindless study break! :santasmil :p
Lets not let a little strife rip us apart yall, lets live like the forum family we are. ;)
i was wondering today how much we actually see when we're awake and our eyes are "open"? because of the blinking.
and all of a sudden - it was so cool :D - i looked around and everyone was blinking.
and i wanted to tell them all, and have them pay attention but i refrained. it was so hard!!! :p
ostracize: (coming from the Greek word ostrakon) to banish from a group, society, etc.
from Webster's New World Dictionary
"After 488 B.C., the Athenians began to make use of an instrument devised to protect the citizenry against overly ambitious politicians. Called ostracism, this practice enabled the members of the assembly to write on a broken pottery fragment (ostrakon) the name of the person they most disliked or considered most harmful to the polis. Frequently, this was a person whose policy, approved at first by the assembly, had failed. A person who received a majority (if at least six thousand votes were cast) was exiled for ten years, although the practical Athenians often recalled a man from exile if they needed him."
from Jackson J. Spielvogel's Western Civilization, Fifth Edition (volume A: to 1500)
