If you're talking about L_F he should know I'm just fucking around.
Just because I don't put a " " or whatever at the end of my posts people think I'm just trying to be a dick.

probably because they're afraid they're gonna get flamed by the bandwagon, which would be a pretty safe bet because, like I said, it always happens.
You know that there is no flaming allowed in the pub. I think this has been a very respectful discussion so far. These parties you speak of are avoiding this thread simply because they do not wish to get involved, for whatever reason. I don't think it's out of fear of being flamed, though.

You're right, I think it's kind of silly to take things personally on the net, but some people do and I hate to see people get hurt, I don't really know where I'm going with this, but you get the picture I hope. I just want to reiterate, you know, I'm a nice guy, and I don't have any kind of grudges against you guys, I really hope you don't think that, I'd like to think I'm easy going and it really does take a whole lot to make me angry, a whole lot. I can't really remember a time I've been actually mad at someone on the shroomery for something that has happened solely on the net. I think you and I would get along pretty well IRL.
The worst part about being a mod is having to "discipline" people and using the ban stick, makes me feel like a cop or something *shudder *. I really haven't done that in a while, unless they really, REALLY deserved it. I like talking to people first and issues usually get resolved before it comes to that. I think I've chilled way the fuck out as time has gone by, I admit things got a little heated not long ago, and I admit things might have edged on getting a little personal, as people were digging on real life friends of mine. That was the closest I've ever come to making things personal here and I can assure everyone that it will never happen again, I know when I'm wrong.

I will look through all of my previous warnings, and where it's the first and only offence, and where I think a PM would have been better served, I will recind the warning.
I've handed out 3 times the points bom has already, (albeit in 3 forums) so I'll aim to take the banomatic out of the equation unless I feel it to be more than nessesary.
First of all I'd like to say I think you do an awesome job, as well as OMR, Ripple, Bom, Shroomism, CC, gdman, and Trendal. Some of the other mods are not even around here much, do not interact with the community at all, and some in one way or another are intertwined into most of the drama that goes down here.

Open Question: Is that a good start? anything else you'd like to see? I'm trying to get a feel of what the users want vs. how I am expect to conduct myself in this position. I'm not out to be everbodies friend, but I'm also not out to make enemies.
I think it's an awesome idea. Good communication could take care of a lot of problems regarding the mod vs. user mentality.

Bom, I just have to say I always thought you were a great Pub mod, but your words and conduct in this thread has raised my respect for you much, much higher. You are doing a damn good job seeing both sides of the tracks, and I really appreciate that. Thank you very much!

I will always love the idea and ideal of the pub, but MY pub is in the past for the most part. But life is all about change is it not?
I don't post here much anymore I just respond to moderator notifications and scan for rule infractions in a vain attempt to keep things the way they used to be.
When this forum was started BoO and I were the only moderators here, and that was more than was needed. There was nothing but respect and love as it should be, as it was meant to be when Thor started the forum!
Things have changed !

Things have changed. This forum has become "OTD lite" and it's partly my fault I think.

if users are bullying, then they are in need of moderation. what would be the point of having mods if everybody here behaved an never screwed up anything?
