How not to close a thread...

As usual, I am different....I enjoy the chaos that poor moderating brings...even though, it swings around and bites me at times.

There are some hobbyists here who would make good mods.....but, you are unwilling to do the job.....then, you bitch at Owners who bring in outside mods....then, you bitch at weak local mods.

I know that I would be a terrible mod....because, you would hardly ever see or hear from me in open board.....and that would suck for me.

:Wakeup raises his hand:

Put me in coach! I'm ready to play the mod game!

I'm sorry, I'm gonna have to agree NAN. This is not the way to close a thread.

"And the disrespect for the staff is uncalled for"......hmmmm.

"Dear John pm one of the mods, admins, or Owners with this issue. The smart ass replies will be dealt with. The end!"

Are you him? Do you have Multiple handles? Then how do you know?

So, what's good for the goose is good for gander---Ain't that the pot calling the kettle black. Take your pick. They both fit.

So someone should start a blog about you.....Since you contributed to an outing?


You wanna be a mod that's respected....then do something spectacular....Moderate Fairly. Look at the issues at hand and deal with them like a real Manager/Mod. Not a dude on the powertrip cause he's MOD.


From the man who contributes to "outing blogs"? Respect you say........?


Some would say a new person about a year ago made a mistake by giving your general job out info not even a company name or a name, but YOU HAVE PROVEN that you contribute to COMPLETE OUTINGS...Yet you want to be respected? You invented the hitting RTM to get people banned. It's your tactic and people know it. You just don't like it when it's used on you.......What good for the goose you say...? They learned it from watching you.....

Aretha said it best R.E.S.P.E.C.T

If your hands are tied....and your trying to do the right thing....but are being trumped because the owner because he thinks drama creates dollars for him.....then shame on him. He's a fool.

This is a PROVEN FACT.....Take it up with the researchers and focus groups. Not on St. Chris. You are so irate you have resorted to calling him a fool when your venture tanked.........This is irony.........

Any good business is built on solid business principles and solid information.

The man "Dear John" asked a very simple question.....In a very upfront manner. In the "ask the staff" forum......The owners, the Mods and whoever is in charge of this wreck is at fault. Someone should have answered his question. Probably, in private......Something. Instead, you all ignored him, like you and the owners do with everything else on eccie......and it's festered into something nasty.

How do you know this? Are YOU Dear John?

Now, you wanna come in and start moderating. When the shit has hit the fan. Great management style. And, please, don't come in with "you bitch when we moderate and you bitch when we don't".

And, I get 70 RTM's a day.....no one put a gun to your head to take the job.

No one put a gun to your head to stay on this board, rather than piss off mods and the owner you can leave at your own will.

You and you alone signed up for that gig.

You and you alone signed up for this board.

The owners, the staff and you are at fault for all the shit that goes on eccie.....You, they, all of you have allowed this board to be riddled with the garbage due to the laissez fair style of doing things. Picking and choosing what rules to enforce.....its ridicules. How you can taunt some with points and let others go completly unscaved. Do you think we don't see this? Do you think we are stupid or something? Talk about being unfair.....Maybe, I'm worng. But, maybe that's what the OP was asking about....an appeal on fairness. How is it fair that he and others get points....yet you and the owner turn a blind eye to more decitful things? Multiple handles comes to my mind......Ever heard of Rosetta Stone?

Where did you get the stupid idea that life was fair?

Any interest in answering that?

There is an old idiom....you and the staff should become familiar with "eating crow"

Taking a strong positon on something and then being proven wrong sucks.....but its humbling nevertheless. Humble pie taste so much better. A humble level headed person is so much easier to work with than a arrogant asshole. Just my opinion, of course. Not saying you in particular are an asshole.......I'm being general.

Hopefully, you and the staff will start will to do the right thing with matters that occur on eccie. Things have certainly gotten carried away.....too much mischief and nonesense. Hopefully, you all can learn to moderate farily, evenly and swiftly as needed. The better late than never sytle is definitely not working. And, the early arrival, is well, pointless too. It must be even keeled....balanced and fair.

St. C needs to take a hard look at his product. More bugs need to be shaken out.....or, this mousetrap of his is gonna fall victim to poor managment.

As you can see, I have no problem telling the Emperor that he has no clothes on....." Yo, Emperor...you're naked"

I would say the Emperor is well dressed thanks to light handed mods and great marketing skills.

Again, I stand behind....what I said. It was wrong to close that thread. In that manner....this matter should have been dealt with upfront. He asked a question. If you wanna wear the MOD hat....then act like a MOD.

Ban me....I don't care.

I'll be back in a few hours.....speaking broken english translating through google translater. Originally Posted by Mr Clever

You only feel powerful when you out people? Your a self proclaimed "Hell Raiser" . What are you complaining about? That board is back in friendly hands.......... It did not get that way by itself! I'm sure you can feel powerful there. If what's good for the goose is good for the gander should people start a blog about you? It's well known you have a Jekyll/ Hyde syndrome behaving passive in communications but behaving in an aggressive manner in your actions.

You know when you don't like something you can just leave, no one locked you in........Plus your a self proclaimed "Hell Raiser" so you can start your own board....You have the IT skills. Then you can manage it how YOU like.

Many people KNOW you started and taught many by YOUR actions the RTM button to ban people......Antagonizing to the point of getting the OP they "disrespect you" and you hit that button......

If something is closed, simply request it be opened again and see what response you get. I have seen some re opened.......Just calm down and think clearly....

I do agree that thread should have been kept open on MattD. It was helpful and useful, no point in helping out a monster like that hide.

Today I saw a thread closed that was started by berkleigh, WTF her name is, she basically got her shots in and requested the thread be closed beFore any "drama" was started. I thought that was bs cause it was a hit and run. Talked shit then wanted it closed. I just think it should have been left open for a couple of days at least lol.

Would one of you ladies be so kind as to circulate a Petition in the Powder Room? I'm sure we'd receive an overwhelming endorsement.

I have no doubt

This thread had potential on it's own merit. Thancks to this hi jack the potential has gone through the roof!

The only parts of this thread that I'll touch on......

BTW, THIS is how you close a thread... http://www.eccie.net/showthread.php?t=140673 Originally Posted by Wakeup

As far as the rest of this thread goes, I'm not touching ANY of it!!! Because it looks like the shit stirers are all almost already here, and some are stirring faster than others.......... So please allow me to excuse myself from this conversation from this point forth, and simply enjoy the ensuing MELTDOWNS!!!


Carry on........

As a side note (and invitation for reply by mods) -

I admit I have not read the "Manual for Mods," but I am willing to place a wager that it DOES NOT say that thread MUST (sorry for emphasis caps - using CB's typewriter) be closed whenever OP so requests.

Anyone who has read the manual care to comment?

(Paul, you there?)

Kinda depends on what "things" you are referring to. Some "things" are for squeezing and pinching. Other "things" have many uses such as stirring.

Its sad because I used to refer clients, on a weekly basis to the board who had never heard about it before... but now with the security risk know as Sofia allowed to play freely here, I keep my mouth shut.

Eccie may not care about the security, privacy & livelily hood of their members but I care about the security, privacy and lively hood of my clients.

SHMB? I just have to ask.

Silly Hooker message Board.....I thinck........
