So if a thread goes missing it's probably because of a hacker or a glitch with the board.
That's what I thought when one thread from the Songs forum was moved to Selling, Buying and Exchanging and made a "sticky." I didn't move it. I pm'd Dmitry and asked if he knew about it but I haven't heard from him yet.
Mods can only moderate their own forums, so I can't move, delete or lock a thread on PC's or Patton's (or any other mod's) forum, and vice versa. So if a thread goes missing it's probably because of a hacker or a glitch with the board.
Up till about a month ago, mods had the capability to ban a poster's IP address as long that poster had replied to a thread under that mod's control. This option never seemed to work when we were trying to block Dirk.
Mods can no longer ban members.
Mods DO operate their individual boards their own way - each has their own style. My particular style is to not interfere - freedom of speach and all that - even if I don't like what's being said. I'll only delete deliderately offensive posts designed to annoy US as Beatle fans.
I'll put my hands up and admit I did delete a lot of Dirk's threads, but with good reason; Dirk took to posting pornographic images and corpses in his signature, so I deleted as many of those posts as I could, but I always quoted his comments - thus we were spared the images but kept the dialogue.
As far as I am aware there is no hidden agenda on this forum. The mods don't discuss the affairs of the forum unless they do it behind my back - the b*stards!! LOL
DM did contact me to ask if I'd banned Ydoll, here is my reply:
"Regarding Ydoll_Gwyn, I don't think it was me who banned this member. It might have been another moderator, but I don't see any reason why he would have been banned - I checked through his recent posts and there's nothing that deserved a ban.
Can he be re-instated?"
But... in hindsight it may well have been me. In the process of tracking Dirk's many IDs, I did ban what I beleived was Dirk. I'm not saying it WAS me, just that it might have been. If it was me, I'm sorry.
Mistakes DO happen though. I recently deleted the "Real Life Picture" thread by mistake just by ticking the wrong box! I'd meant to delete a sick and offensive thread about John Lennon!
This board ebbs and flows - sometimes good, sometimes bad, sometimes awful, sometimes great!
Maybe the forum is going through a bad patch at the moment... it honestly does get better - it ALWAYS does, believe me!
Anyone want to discuss The Beatles?
you could do mostly anthing you want including delete a post on my board.i accidently delete colleens reply and the locking of the topic.i was trying to see how much power we had.sorry if it bugged everyone.can you 4give me??????lol i just saw this cause a stir and wanna set things straight.....i was not after anybody. ps mod meeting of the minds workshop needed yes.analitical by newbies,not needed.
I do find the timing of pc's confession odd given no one said anything at all about it until Colleen mentioned she knew who had moved it.
And why 'experiment' on someone else's forum? Seems rather rude. Why not check your 'power' on your own?
And I am no mod and have no idea about the inner workings of this place, but supposedly mods were only able to effect changes in their OWN forums. SO how does pc get 'power' somewhere else? Wouldn't it take a hack? Or a few of them? And wouldn't that be rather...ballsy?
To move, unlock, delete the explanation post, move it again, relock, <dmitry moves it back>, unlock, say 'it was me' and then relock it again AFTER it's back in her forum?
I don't like any of this. It -seems- to be a distinct lack of respect for another mod and maybe even worse.

she did not know.theres no way anyone could have because noone was here.and i never read that she said she knew till i read your post.listen to me kids and i will tell you of a forum i join 5 or 6 years ago.it was a great place a bit boring sometimes no chatroom not moderators and alot of time no dmitry posts for a month or two.he was in school,too busy to be here or there.he would be building and editing his site.there were next to no incidents for a good 4 years or maybe even longer since i am not sure when he created the forum for his site.how many years is it d? well anyways nothing ever really went sour till 2 years ago.you find out why from then.the styles changed maybe four times also.as i look to see who are still here from the peaceful days,i see just beatle_ed.noone else was here then so claiming you were here b4 anyone is a moot point. the mod thing came about when a newbie asked why there were none.you remember that alan?thats when things got a different wind about them.dmitry had just met a great girl he said and was gonna be here less.the idea of being a mod was suggested by some newbie.so dmitry wanting to help asked for volunteers.at first noone stepped up.why?noone really cared is why.eventually al took a few collie took a few.i only wanted the fifths to pimp my pete best.life went on normally for a bit then patton came along and became a mod and shits been going down hill ever since. since tyrant was in town...maria was bad true,dandee was bad,oh no another bloody american topic was bad too.even joe. but whats worse is all the whining and people trying to baste each other with their knowledge and their morals. i for one think alot of you are at fault and even me.i think some of you are mess and know for sure about others.some of you are family and you know i love you....but the fact is that by being a dick head or a whiner is not showing any respect to the man that pays to host this forum and his site. i think i for one will give my mod status back...........i don't want to be responsible for any of you you are worthless to me f*** you.....post ya later yours truly musketeer gripweed
Okay, seriously, everyone chill out. I personally never even noticed the tension on this board until I visited Diff. Discussions and this forum. We all need to calm down and not get so incredibly tense, here. I've never seen our board like this.
Ha! Get used to it, cuz it only gets worse. Most women know that men will put up with just about anything if they think sex may eventually be involved!!
