ps where were you at while he was getting reamed?
Good point, oh I don't know working, driving, sleeping, being with family. There are 7 other moderators. To be truthful, I spend a lot of time getting rid of spammers, porn spammers, trying to organize the threads, write to members to help them out, especially the new ones. I was the one who made Matthew Star's thread about engine swap a sticky, until he PM's me and said he changed his mind.
ronMAIDEN did close one thread that had attacks and he got slammed. To be honest, trying to get members in line or banning them is my least favorite part of being moderator. When I see members bash someone, there is always the other member bashing back. Who do I ban, what about someone that chimes in and does one bashing? I usually warn them and then, for some reason the continue and they are banned.
Also, I haven't read some of Matthew Starr's recent posts. I seem to be in the Off Roading section, getting rid of spam. (Don't ask me why Off Roading section gets the most spam.)
If you see a problem, PLEASE report a spam or a negative comment to the moderators. That really helps us and we will respond. KC is very good at giving us reported posts for spam, it is a great help.
I want this to be a positive site, the moderators work for the fun of it, um wait a minute, that is not right, we work for no money, as you can see being a moderator sometimes is not fun.
