To be or not to be that is the question?

Eric VW We be cool bro.

fordf150 give a warning next time , is this you?

 

Must be something about having f150 in your screen name that stirs an interest in snackies...

 

No, that is Sharon Russell, 08f150's wife.

 

I didnt know if he was here with the f150 name and actually the same guy, The pic is from 08f150's avatar on AS, but im guessing you knew that.

 

I knew I could draw you guys out if I just played dumb.

 

One snackie pic is enough for this site

 

I'm sure she has a very nice um........ personality.

 

Eric VW made more gooder

 

Fordf150 is my user name on AS, forestry and here. Perfoutdoor on hawgz and Nathaniel on chainsaw repair. Been so long since I logged into hearth that I don't remember my name over there

 

Yea, I can't log onto hearth anymore, no loss.

Btw, does it bug anybody else how many MOVING advertisements there are on AS? I can literally watch them all load.

 

Curious, did they say why or just turn you off? They just turned me off.

 

They just turned me off too. Not in the least bit sad either. Been so long ago I cant remember my username.

 

BS, my duck is bigger.
OTOH a proper moderating philosophy will go a long way to keeping things friendly. I once worked as a mod on a tropical fish forum, one of the busiest in the world. What we found, me and the other mods, was that if we all were very open with the people that we had to correct and put on probation or other restrictions by telling them exactly why we were interfering and what they needed to do differently, the membership tended to be self regulating and we only had to intervene on maybe 10% of the rules violations. The rest died out fast because members understood they could only go so far and no further. I can only hope that the moderating philosophy here is close to what I used to use 0n that forum. I was a member of a lot of other competing forums at the time and the mod philosophy differences were glaring to me, as a mod myself.
I even, as a moderator, went so far as to sign up as a member of a competing forum specifically so that I could communicate with the mods on the site. We had an accusation that one of our members was stealing content from that other site and I wanted to confirm it before imposing any sanctions. The outcome is immaterial, the real message is that a mod must be willing to make that extra effort before taking extreme actions against a member. Once a mod knows what he/she needs to know it is time for decisive action based on the facts. IMO a copyright violation is about as bad as it can get and will get a site into severe legal issues if it is allowed to go on without being corrected.

 

Yup, no manuals.

 

There is such a thing as going overboard
