New Mod - Logroller

[tailfins]

I got banned once and just never went back, but it's fun to peek in every now and again and get a giggle out of the wackos posting there.

I'm surprised they haven't been defaced or hit by a denial of service.

I don't care who the mods are...

Oh yeah? Just wait until you see who the next mod is...

I've never had any problems with Little-Acorn.

red states rule. Actually. We really have no choice but to do exactly as you suggested. Time, as it normally does. Will tell.

Do not sweat it AT. About 18 months ago I stepped down as a mod over my feud with Conman. The reason was Jim holds his staff members to a much higher standard then he does regular members. The feud with Conman was down and dirty and being a staff member Jim did not want me getting that dirty with him

So the same will apply to LR - as it does with every staff member

Bottom line is. just follow the rules and you will not even know LR is a mod. \

Hey it is not like Jim made FU or Gabby a mod. Jim picked the best liberal we have here for the job

Isn't Logroller more of a Libertarian?

Christopher Hitchens was a liberal puketard who became a libertarian puketard.

Libertarianism is closer to liberalism than conservatism.

Regardless, I welcome the new pothead conservative aspiring authoritarian fascist overlord. I'll stick around until Jimmy opens his FEMA re-education camps.

I think he's trying to be funny. And I guess to some extent he is.

Sorry, I must have missed this alleged "whining".

But already it starts. Like the Obama administration, one harmless comment sets off repercussions. How long until the DP IRS shows up?

That's Lorenzo the Llama.

I see where this board is heading... been there before.

Time to find a new one. Enjoy Jimmy's FEMA camp everyone. Bye.

I'm as guilty as anybody about this getting mad and demanding a refund. However, running a message board takes work and some sacrifices are necessary to acquire free labor. It means being managed by people dumb enough to give away free labor. Unless you're willing to pay a monthly subscription fee to be managed by true professionals, you should happily accept what you get for the price you are paying.

Please tell me you're kidding?

Is it actions of a person? Perception? Just not liking someone?

I find it odd that simply making Logroller a moderator has made some/one leave and others contemplating the same. He hasn't even made a single decision or moderated anything yet. We are not these other boards. I would like to assume, that if people thought we or I were unfair here, they would have left prior to this. Now just simply making the choice is enough to have one want to bail? I don't get it, I really don't. I understand that people dislike one another, and that will never change. But to leave, or want to leave, based on the reasons I've seen thus far, is just plain silly.

IF Logroller goes cuckoo and starts moderating unfairly, toss it in my face and then leave.

IF the board goes the way of "other boards", toss it in my face and then leave.

IF my assurances don't pan out, toss it in my face and leave.

Some that I have been nothing but respectful, friendly and fair with - are treating me and this decision like I just killed their first born child. I thought I had "earned" a little respect, and to be taken at my word, based on my past experiences.

If anyone wants to leave, so be it. I made a decision that I think is great for the board. Not a single bit of harm has been done. Save the chastising for when something actually happens. If my word isn't good enough, and my past fairness not a good enough indicator, then I have failed you, and those who feel that way probably are better off elsewhere.
