No...not really.
With three mods, if one gets out of line, the other two can bitch slap the offending one.
Do we need a TOU section?

If you want to keep it at the level that it currently operates, where one person is treated differently than another on the basis of personal animosity then no, guidelines would be antithetical to the spirit of the board.
Tomas,
Two words:
<font size="6">Grow up!</font>
We've beat this horse to death. Your comments were inappropriate. AL suggested a deletion. You decided decorum wasn't necessary. You persisted. I deleted and then I banned you. Raven brought you back.
END OF STORY. This is all SO September.
You want to own the playground but you don't have keys to the gate.
One more time:
I don't care about your politics. I care that you derail threads with inappropriate comments.

If Jump and AL have a problem, I'm sure they'll let me know.
A "TOU" would be pretty much ignored anyway. I trust and you'll have to as well that AL, Gae, and myself will keep each other in check. We're kind of the Executive, Legislative, and Judical here. [img]smile.gif[/img]
Pina has his own board to play god on, so he can just do it there.
This is why I didnt want him to be a moderator here.
Anywho, I'm good with the three mods and have no ill feelings about not being elected moderator #4.

<font size="2" face="Verdana, Helvetica, sans-serif">No gae, my comments were no more innappropriate than the recent rash of vulgarities that jisgsaw has been blessing the board with and I notice that you seem to have no problem with them.Originally posted by gae:

You deleted my post in a fit of pique not because you were concerned with the content of my posts but just because you don't like me. If anyone should grow up I might suggest that it should be you. If you can't act like an objective moderator of the board at least have the self-respect to own up to your own childish behavior.
<font size="2" face="Verdana, Helvetica, sans-serif">Hardly.END OF STORY. This is all SO September.
<font size="2" face="Verdana, Helvetica, sans-serif">No. I want a fair forum. I already have my own playground, thank you. I only desire and expect that this forum be what it portends to be. As someone who acts unilaterally to ban people without consulting her fellow moderators I think that maybe it is you who wants to own the keys here and act without regard to anyone else's wishes.You want to own the playground but you don't have keys to the gate.
<font size="2" face="Verdana, Helvetica, sans-serif">Bullshit, pure and simple. You again state that you expect certain behaviors from me that you do not enforce on others.One more time:

<font size="2" face="Verdana, Helvetica, sans-serif">And that is why it might not be a bad idea to have moderator guidelines in place. I don't think you need a full blown terms of use but just some internal agreements on things like deleting or editting posts and banning members to avoid further abuse of the moderator position.Signed,

As it stands you act as if you were the sole arbiter of what is appropriate on the board. If I were a co-moderator with you I would consider your attitude and behavior insulting and demeaning. At best.
You were banned because of something you posted to/about me.
As far as I'm concerend you no longer matter in this world to anyone except yourself.
The election is over, and everyone except you is fine with the reults.
Point is that YOU ARE THE TROUBLEMAKER AND THE PROBLEM.
Get over yourself and get on with something else.
<font size="2" face="Verdana, Helvetica, sans-serif">No greg. I was banned because gae was chomping at the bit to find an excuse to dump me from the board. I responded to your ineptly veiled attack on myself and my family suggesting incestuous behavior. I responded in kind in a post that was mild in comparison to some recently posted and uncommented upon messages.Originally posted by cincygreg:

<font size="2" face="Verdana, Helvetica, sans-serif">You really should try reading my posts before commenting on them. I am perfectly fine with the results of the election. The board stated unequivocably that it wants neither you nor I as a moderator. We were rejected by exactly the same margin and received exactly the same number of supporting votes. As I said before it makes us pretty much equals in that regard, my brother! [img]smile.gif[/img]The election is over, and everyone except you is fine with the reults.
<font size="2" face="Verdana, Helvetica, sans-serif">One person's ceiling another one's floor. At least I post on subjects that take some thought. While your ongoing fluff pieces certainly are entertaining and valuable in a social context, your really should look into penning happy smiley sunday supplement type writing, they aren't terribly straining on the old grey matter. What you call troublemaking I think of as being thought provoking.Point is that YOU ARE THE TROUBLEMAKER AND THE PROBLEM.
<font size="2" face="Verdana, Helvetica, sans-serif">I welcome your initiation of the same.Get over yourself and get on with something else.
