[ARCHIVED THREAD] - I think I ccan save you some trouble

Posted: 8/9/2005 4:27:32 AM EDT

I think if I just start posting everyfuckingthing in Team nobody has to put themselves out reviewing what I post, and then nobody has to do anything with it.

Or... you could use a little common sense in posting and not have to get worked up enough to post these whiny threads.

What about common sense in moderating? Its a two way street.

There were a handful (6-8) of WA state ARFCommers talking about the thread topic over lunch prior to its creation. It had context and relevancy to the group here, and was the basis for a lengthly discussion away from this forum.

No sooner than the topic gets created then the moderator locks it. With very little reason if any, and with no consideration to the people particpating in the hometown forum.

Its getting to be commonplace around here and it undermines the community. Its really starting to get irritating. My advise would be to stop trying to be some type of 'uber moderator' and start participating in the discussions or activities away from the board. People are much more enjoyable in real life.

Jafo,

I'm not one to poke mods, I know you have a tuff job and get no love for it. Perhaps you thought other readers in General might get interest out of Cav's experience with Ferett's company.

But I would -never- want info about my weapons switched to the General Forum. Please.

If I post about one of them in HT, it is because I have met most of those who would reply. Questions about parts, funtion, competitions, ammo, etc, is posted here for a reason, security.

I hope you'll understand.

This topic was on page 1 of this forum:
Hey CavVet...brining your Ferret50 to LCR?

This topic was created instead of just posting that information in the existing topic:
For those wondering about my Ferret being at LCR........

The locked thread references the exact reason it was locked: duplicate.

My advice is to stop trying to be some kind of uber whiner and carry on.

Well, whats-his-name's pitching seems to slowed down as the season goes on, but they have a 3 game series against that one team. and he pitches really well against them. of course, you know who is injured right now, so they are short a clean up hitter.

Minor league games are just more fun. In Everett, they do RC car races and pitching contests between innings, throw hotdogs into the stands, have contests for the kids. It's as much fun as the game.

ETA: I'm kinda insulted that I haven't been directly called a whiner yet, even though I have certainly earned it. I need a reference for my Whiner merit badge.

Sounds like a plan CavVet. Although I won't be able to see them there soon.

I noticed the Seafair/Blue Angels over Lake Washington thread got moved to GD. Gee, doesn't seem to get more HOMETOWN than pictures taken at a local event. So I guess the LCR pics and recap will go in GD too?

Are you making any assumptions on who moved the thread and why? I have no idea. Perhaps the original poster made the request to move them there.

LCR shoot photos likely won't have any problems as long as they are kept in one LCR shoot picture thread and not a new thread any time a person wants to post some pictures. You making it to this shoot or just worried for everyone else?

Im glad you brought up common sense. Are you out to prove it isnt so common???

We have two mods, but only one of them is hellbent on locking threads every damn day. This is the second thread where a plethora of active posters and participants have said the same, but it seems you just dont get it. This isnt Arizona and we are not run amuck. All this jackbootmoderating isnt necessary, unless its your intention to kill WA hometown, or at least drag it down to a crawl.

You can park that non-participant shit on the curb. In July, WA Arfcommers had 4 shoots and one gunshow meet. Each shoot had over a dozen shooters. There were so many of us at the gunshow, we plugged the cross ailes with a mob of about 20, all arfcommers. Following each shoot there was a repast and refreshments. There were different people at each shoot. We had people drive over 80 miles one way. You werent at any of them.

fwiw, you win Jafo. Im not the only one who sees it. You obviously have a hardon for my threads. I just wont start anymore threads in Hometown.

Oh yeah.........IBTL

What the hell does one moderator not doing any moderating in this forum have to do with common sense? You may think everything in this forum should just be ignored but Staff does not.

I have 0 desire to attend any event in Granite Falls. That is my perogative. If you think the moderator of this forum should only be someone that shows up to events that you are at, take it up with 1GUNRUNNER. You can question my participation all you want. I really don't care what your view of it is.

fwiw, you win Jafo. Im not the only one who sees it. You obviously have a hardon for my threads. I just wont start anymore threads in Hometown.

You aren't treated any different than any other violator. If you disagree with any lock, edit, or move I make, discuss it with me and/or Staff. If I am wrong it will be corrected.

No dog in this fight but I don't mod here

1. Because regardless of what the Forum listing says, this isn't my forum.

2. The last time I tried, it got undone..and whined about.

3. I really don't care who posts, or what they post here. To me this is a town hall/bar room meeting forum.

Trust me, JAFO is just doing what he's told.

All I can say is don't use 'referrent or general power' as a cop out for rude behavior. Furthermore, this forum is tame as it gets. Give somethingawful or genmay.com a try if simple arfcom posts among friends hurt your delicate sensibilities.

In addition (yet another prepositional phrase), if you don't want to attend group functions, get to know the people here, or share in the forums topical discussions while choosing to and play uber moderator...expect to be perceived as a jackass.

Now I see that you are just full of shit. Locking a duplicate thread is rude behavior? Responding to a whiner thread posted as a result of that is rude behavior? Who really needs thicker skin here? When I am addressed I will reply in kind. If people do not want me to reply then they should not make statements to or about me. There are forum rules, the thread in question was a violation of the Conduct Code general guidelines #8. Go check it out if you really want to.

I have been to many local events and remember seeing you at... none of them. I participate in discussions I feel are worth participating in. You don't decide which I can or can't participate in. I could care less if YOU think I'm a jackass. That isn't arrogance. It is just plain, simple fact.
