Poll - Heavy Handed Moderators

Is it really neceassary to ban users for this fighting? I'm not in it but don't have a problem either a. Reading it.... or b. Ignoring it...

How many people here really feels it's necessary? or effective? I mean the fight goes on regardless and users can always either make up new names or if you do an IP ban they can spoof that. (It's not hard)

I've been a member of many message boards and a moderator of some. The best run are the ones that just let the crap happen and give up on the "stupid unnecessary, ineffective rules"

ROFL!!!

I have to admit, there are a few people on the board now that seem to be very negative and love to hear themselves talk. Unfortunetly, it's at US.

My theory is that we don't get this big for no reason. food was/is our medication for many reasons, so we see some "interesting" people, emotional, angry and dysfunctional posting going on.

Some may take offense for that assumption, but I feel that hits pay dirt so pfffft. :^p

Can we go back to talking about lesbian things?

Did I miss something????? Oh, well....does this count?

My DH and I went to Sam's on Saturday. We noticed two women shopping together. One of them had on a tee shirt that read:

Chicks love me

Guys fear me

Is that a not-so-subtle way of announcing that she's gay, do you think?

LOL Carlene, earlier in the thread they were discussing lesbian things revolving around female members hugging and rubbing oil on each other which is what I was referring to.

I don't know if the tee shirt means she's Gay, but it's pretty funny either way!

I just want to know what I missed! :)

Hey, a little drama :drama: can keep a board lively! It's a tough job being a moderator (been there, done that), and it's difficult sometimes to know when to step in and take action to stop a flame war that might chase off members. That being said, this *is* the rants and raves forum!
