Where have all the Moderators gone????

Are we being subjected to a clandestine 'social experiment' in which the arbiters of good protocol are sitting back watching to see if we all devolve into Lord of the Flies chaos? :lol:

There have been at least 2 threads currently running that in my estimation would typically motivate input from one of the several moderators as that often has a way sorting things out very quickly.

I ain't looking to stir up a bees nest here just for the sake of causing trouble and I do mean that sincerely. I also believe that most of us are quite capable of remaining civil and following protocol without intervention.

Just curious.

Sorry about this guys, Joe and I have been following one of the threads in question. I was hoping Paul would be around to have the final say, but it seems he's taking some well deserved time away from the forum, so I banished the thread unto the nethers yonder.

Happy holidays.

No worries. Everybody deserves some time off.

I'm here, but can't read every thread. I see some of the problem threads and I don't see others. That's why there are multiple mods. If you see a problem thread you can report it. That way I will see it for sure.

I may not always agree with the reporter that the thread is really a problem, but it will always get my attention.

I've seen the one thread you are talking about -- it's been removed -- but I haven't seen the other one. I have no idea what thread you're talking about.

It rhymes with orange.

Hey I'm not trying to stir up a bee's nest here. By now the Moderators have looked at the other thread I was talking aout and if they think everything is cool then everything is cool.

I wasn't looking to get anyone in trouble or get a thread deleted. I just thought that maybe a brief word from one of the Mods would set things back on track. S'all

No, just making a joke. Apparently, I failed.

So what is the process for reporting a "problem" thread anonymously. (i.e. saw a thread where a new member advertising/selling items not in classifieds but in forum & I wasn't sure what to do, PM a moderator?). Next day it was gone. Thank you moderators!
This is the only forum I belong to for that reason. No garbage, no hate/bashing threads etc. Just good DISCUSSION.

Assuming that you meant that as a question, if you look over to the left, under my name, you'll see a little green circle that tells you if I'm logged in right now, and next to it you'll see a little triangle with an exclamation point that is the "Report Post" button.

Cheers, Tim

Good. Whew!! I thought you were but I wasn't sure. Sometimes my paranoia kicks in without my permission. .

Thanks Tim. You've answered my question as well. I was uncertain whether I had made a bad decision posting in this way. Although I wasn't really reporting a specific thread to the Mods using the method you described may have been a better way to do it.

Thanks Tim,
I DID mean it as a question. I am fairly new to the forum an had concern the other night when I saw a certain thread that made say "hmmmm, this isnt really tdpri material", "I thought we didnt do that here". Next day the thread was gone. I am grateful for the good moderation.

Thanks for the help. didnt know the circle/triangle deal... should I have read about that somewhere? I appreciate. -Easy

Wow, I was really tempted to report Tim's post! I wonder if anyone else felt the same way.

My understanding is that feature is there to report a particular post, and not a whole thread, is that right? Then again, if the whole thread is wrong, then the first post could be the one that is reported.

I only reported one post, that I remember. Some Internet Tough Guy-type of talk was going on, and physical violence was even threatened. That was some months ago. I am glad that this stuff gets deleted and everyone can move on. This forum is run very well.

I think Tim should just be banned. Period. I find him aggressive and he never has anything positive to say. Always trying to stir up trouble. You know the type. :lol:

I get so disgusted by my threads, I turn myself in all the time and nothing is ever done. I have half a mind to turn myself in on this one. Just who the heck do I think I am? Where do I get off?
