Let's not blow this out of proportion. Over the last month we’ve had close to 5,000 posters participate (post) on these forums. In that same month 176 posters were affected by some sort of ban on their username. Of those 176 users, 101 of them were posters at the rookie and pro levels – thus, probably previously banned posters or guests coming on to make trouble.

That leaves us with exactly 75 “seasoned” posters that were affected by bans last month. That’s about 2% of the active posting population on this site. So, 98% of the population gets it and 2% doesn’t. That doesn’t seem painfully obvious to me. What is painfully obvious is that there is a very small number of posters that refuse to understand what is and is not appropriate conduct on this site.

I have admitted to areas of needed improvement and I fully intend to work hard to improve them. What is yet to be seen is whether or not the posters that habitually cross the line will stop claiming ignorance and branding themselves as victims and take responsibility for their actions.

Mexirab 00,

Actually, being a moderator is a lot like being in a "Fight Club". The first rule is, "Don't talk about being a moderator!" The second rule is, "Don't ask to be a moderator!!"



Actually, after thinking about it, I can't remember how one got into fight club. I think they had to be asked. Anybody??

LOL - that would be a good start!

Vibs,

We don't maintain a "target list".

Frac Stack,

I agree, while I have the ultimate say in what goes on here, I try not to run this place like a dictator - it won't work, nor would I make a very good dictator. There are rare cases when I have had to show someone the highway, but there are even more cases where I was quick to forgive and bring people in off the street.

As far as aggiebylegacy being a moderator, I'll say this once (because I do not want to make a habit of discussing this): she is not one, never has been. Nothing against abl - I say that only to end a long standing misconception.

I find the spectulation about who the moderators are pretty entertaining. For every ten posters thrown out, only 1 or 2 are correct. It's interesting.
