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.

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.

I'm in a unique position because I began moderating as the banomatic was introduced and haven't known of moderating without it.

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.

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!

yep. the pub used to be properly used and run, but that changed somewhere along the trip.

Again, if the mods are not mature enough to brush off the "attacks" from "internet bullies", they are unfit to serve.
