NO MORE!!
« on: December 04, 2012, 05:00:27 AM »
I've spent quite a bit of time this morning cleaning up some threads on this forum and the bottom line is this...
 
THERE WILL BE NO MORE BLATANT RULES VIOLATIONS!
 
The name calling and personal attacks have gotten way out of hand and needs to be stopped... NOW. I will not keep cleaning up posts that contain violations. I will simply delete the post and send it to the trash can.
 
If certain members cannot or will not get along they need to put the other on ignore and be done with it. It's that simple...
Let's keep things civil and on topic. ;)
 
 
Thanks very much.

one more thing, it shows I made a post at 06:00. It was in fact 3:00 PM MST which is -7hr GMT. How do I reset the clock?

Spanky, I agree with you.  People should take forums in the spirit in which they are intended--voice your opinion.  If you don't agree with something someone has said, fine disagree with the post but do not verbally attack someone personally just because you don't agree with them.  Frankly, all one is doing is showing their ignorance.  I remember the time I was called a troll. I didn't post for several months and then I got to thinking that I did nothing wrong but post my opinion. I've had several posts deleted that had nothing to do personally with anyone. I assumed the moderator didn't like what I said, which I feel was unfair.

I'm all for people voicing their opinions even if things get a little heated. As long as no name calling or other personal nonsense takes place it's all good. When folks start getting singled out and attacked I draw the line.
 
By all means stick around on this forum and add whatever you wish... we all can learn a thing or two from each other. ;)

I've had the same done to my comments, in the Truth, Lies, and Conspiracy Theories forum.  The old moderator who I won't name :-X , didn't like my challenging his lies.  There was no name calling on my part, I just questioned his liberal, and religious biases, with facts.  Finally GB himself, got involved, and told the old moderator, that he was wrong to delete my posts, and re-posted my comments in a different thread.  The old moderator quit in a hissy fit.  Now it's being moderated by someone else.  I try not to comment on threads started by that particular poster, but sometimes, it gets to be too much.  You just can't ignore blatant lies about people and live with yourself.

When you allow a lie to go unchallenged, it becomes the truth.
