funny thing is , wit all this fun and games

the real far left and far right begin to start coming together on the issues of the day

The key to your story is the word "warn". That aside, you and I both know you did not post what you posted in a vacuum. You did it in the middle of a conversation about not using the PT term anymore. I say you did it to test the policy. Originally Posted by dearhunter

Post 32 drew the points and Post 35 explained it was meant as a 'warning'! Nothing more, nothing less and not to test policy, as you delude.

I will also say that I disagreed with reversing your points.......you caught the big man in a giving moment........ Originally Posted by dearhunter

Wish the same could be said of some in admin.....

I say the MOD got a raw deal on that call.....you got to rub your local modtards face in it one last time......good for you. Originally Posted by dearhunter

Agreed, a local MOD got the raw deal and he admitted this has been the case and that he had just about had a belly full of said treatment by Berlin, saying he was just about ready to 'chuck' it all! It's all still there in our friendly PMs exchanged, lamenting what has happened here lately and what he is now being 'ordered' to do. Feel free to peruse them since no doubt St Chris, admin have privy to read PMs which have never been truly private in any vBulletin software version.
There was NEVER any, 'rubbing your local modtards face in it one last time' as you imply or delude.

I love the fact that someone got points reversed, and now takes that as permission to violate the guideline again...

This is going to be fun...

Really???

How did you arrive at that delusion?....

Keep going...really...please...

No need, since you have NOTHING to substantiate post 154....

I can't find your RTM on this anywhere. When did you send that?

But thanks for the heads up anyway, I took care of it. There are a different set of mods for the national forums, they are named at the top of forum there.

OK! I'll bite, since this just happened almost 1 week ago!!!

In a thread where a well known, well reviewed, once popular SP was busted by Leo and a newspaper article link confirmed her arrest saying she ran a prostitution ring that was also involved with use of Rule 15 shit, I DARED TO WARN other mongers best not see her anymore since she is into PT now (a term we all used commonly)! I was given 10 points for using our fav common terminology PT!!! I complained to the MOD who issued these points. He responded saying he knew, understood and felt my pain BUT he was just following ORDERS from Berlin like a good soldier!!!

Thinking this had to be PURE BULL MANURE..... I sent off a PM to St Chris to look into this! To his credit St Chris answered my PM within a couple MINUTES saying 10 pts were indeed excessive and unnecessary! St Chris further stated those points will be reversed and they were a few minutes later!....

It seems incredibly stupid that we can no longer warn fellow members here about those who have developed some bad habits.....ijs

Ball is in your court ....cowboy.....
Is there any common sense solution here..... or just continued obfuscation of the Company Line, with cliché riddled form responses?..... Originally Posted by Celso

do you think they would have been reversed if 5 or less??

If so, go for it

If a provider is a raging alcoholic, that's one of the things I'd want to know to base my decision on whether to see her or not. This policy is a disservice to members and potentially puts them at considerably more risk than if a provider was an alcoholic. Do you find it acceptable that there are different standards of enforcement depending on the Mod or region?

good point, consistency should be the standard ?

But in general we can share other places just not on this board.

mmmmm me will wait for CC reply

but thinking, going after where problem is the worst, welcome to Upset NY

Not my job either( excuse #1 in the mod rolodex of excuses). Of the 900 people who viewed that thread nobody else bothered to RTM either. I think that speaks volumes about the concern for the policy by members. Who ever said the members were concerned about it?, The obviously are not around here. Given how important the policy seems to be to the powers that be, such lax monitoring makes the policy a joke. If a provider is a raging alcoholic, that's one of the things I'd want to know to base my decision on whether to see her or not. There is no restriction on mentioning the provider is a raging alcoholic This policy is a disservice to members and potentially puts them at considerably more risk than if a provider was an alcoholic. Maybe, unless shes driving a vehicle at the time Do you find it acceptable that there are different standards of enforcement depending on the Mod or region? Originally Posted by drluv1

Absolutely not. What gave you the idea that NY was the the only problem area around here?

Here are the facts, when you and everyone else joined this site, you had to click that little button saying that you agreed to follow the rules of the site. And obviously you did or you wouldn't be here now. You knew these rules at that point, up front, before you ever made you first post on this website. So if there is now a problem with you following them. If you cannot or don't want to play by the rules anymore, just let me know. There are always alternatives. No one is trying to be difficult and stifle discussion, but thats the way it is on this topic, take it or leave it.

I'm thincking that Somebody is about ready to start issuing infractions for non compliance.

Your concern, or the concern of others here, for the policy, is irrelevant to the enforcement of the guidelines...

That isn't a case of lax moderating, unless the local mods read the thread and did nothing about it. You have no evidence of that. The RTM button is there to help the moderators out, they can't read everything. If they miss something because they didn't see it, it's not bad moderating, or different enforcement of the rules.

I disagree with Chica about mentioning that a provider is an alcoholic. Alcoholism is a medical condition, and for me, that falls into medical speculation about a member. Talking about her drinking, or being drunk, is fine, saying she's an alcoholic, isn't, and that's how I'd enforce it. Just me though.

There is certainly different enforcement of certain guidelines in different forums, because some guidelines are open to interpretation. Some are not, and if there is differing enforcement of those guidelines, then the owners and admins put a stop to it...as you are seeing in these forums...

Have fun with that...
