What is a moderator for? - DM's Beatles forums

Quoted from pc31

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

A rather severe reply, even by my standards.

I find it all rather unsettling, that's all. It was a topic for a few days -- why and how it was moved--- and no one owned up. Until she said she knew who. I simply found that odd, timing wise.

I understand you are a legacy here, more so than I even knew. As you say, a handful of people are at fault, even you. SO if you're not above suspicion then why would you react so violently to a few questions? I didn't like the way it looked, and your laughing off the event made me even more wondering.

You have to admit you are an unconventional fellow. You have your own ways and your own forums and so I don't think it so difficult to understand where I was coming from.

My question really centered around hacks. And whether they are being employed, by you or tk or colleen or dirk or whomever. I would think it should be known if someone was farting around....even you.

I'm sorry you took such umbrage, I meant no particular disrespect. But you answered nothing and the questions remain and I still don't much like it.

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!!

Pssh, it'll be a little harder with me. I'm not THAT easy

But that really stinks!

Quoted from Frightwolf

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.

It's a gift. I seem to spread sunshine everywhere I go.

Seriously, something screwy happened and I thought the explanation seemed rather bogus. I guess some people are above being questioned at all?

Whatever. I am as tired of all the invective as anyone, tho some would never believe that. I would like to just go back to the happy palce as much as anyone. If it even exists anymore.

i think no mods would solve this problem better.kremlin marshev hooray.....

I have always thought so myself. They usually didn't do all that much here anyway and when Patton started casting about for a spot it was like...why? To feel important?

I know one person especially who could not live without a moderator to complain and cry to, but that's just one person. A newbie at that. And if he couldn't complain about me to someone he'd explode.

Nah. It's the biological equalizer.

I pm'd Dmitry a couple of days ago asking him if he knew how it got put into that section. He got back to me last night and told me who it was according to the log reports. So, I did know. I was here last night but ever since "colleen_f*cker" became a member I've had my status as invisible. I don't need anymore PMs from him.

And I agree. I'm getting pretty sick of getting complaints regarding the fighting that's going on here. I've told certain people that if they don't like reading another member's posts to just put them on ignore. What else is there to do? We're all adults here. I'm not the forum mommy. Should I give everyone a time out and a spanking? I liked just having to moderate the Songs and Albums forum because nothing really happened there (I'm that lazy) but now I'm ready to give up my mod status because it's become too much of an annoyance.

PC are you and I really the only ones left from the "Original, Original forum"? I remember Heather and ladyprimrose, and a few others, but haven't seen any of them here. I didnt know if there was jsut someone I was overlooking.

Plain and simple you should have a hidden moderators forum to chat amongst yourselfs and decide best courses of action? Maybe you have one alreay, they are easy enough to implement in forums.

I came from the forum before this one, if that's the original original. My name was LetItBe on that one, and I changed it when we moved to this site.

I was a member of the forum before this one as well - but I think there was an even older one before that!

Yeah there was one before the old one too. It was REALLY vicious though. lol From what I remember. Well it was mostly me and another girl, Heather constantly walloping each other. She'd correct grammar and I HATE THAT!! Anyway. lol But there've been 3 D's forums.

Blimey, you've made me feel like a newbie!!

i think there was one other person beside us and de-meat tree...wasn't bruno there as mister mustard??????
