Inherent problem with moderation system

“LOL!”

“That about sums it up.”

“How come Q is allowed to post again and Trubit and Sarge are not?”

No reason to get personal. That's already been asked and answered.”

“Don't all you honest unbiased "mods" trip over yourselves answering the question.”

“I never thought I would see the day where my shear presence would be so completely intimidating that it instantly strikes fear into the souls of trolls.”

“Personally I'd be happy seeing everyone back but as Q indicates, the mere presence of some people send others into uncontrollable (allegedly) tizzies.”

“So why don't you make Trubit and Sarge welcome back too, nonconformist?”

“I don't have the power.”

“I won't go into anyone's specific case here, but no one who was permanently banned is back posting (at least not to my knowledge). Some people who were given temporary bans chose to stay away long after their ban time was up - some of those have returned, some continue to stay away.”

“So pedx and the other cowardly "secret mods" are playing favorites by keeping Trubit and Sarge out, and you are not by allowing your hiking buddy Q back from his "permanment" ban?”

“It's a good thing you "mods" got matt to delete the "TT Sucks" thread on Latta.

A few quotes from that thread would show the arrogance and dishonestly of y'all.”

““So pedx and the other cowardly "secret mods" are playing favorites by keeping Trubit and Sarge out, and you are not by allowing your hiking buddy Q back from his "permanment" ban?”

Hmmm. Don't remember saying that.”

“Oh for cryin' out loud!

Send him a cap already.





... Oh wait... wrong tantrum.”

“You didn't need to say it, you DID it.”

“Uh, no, I didn't. Assuming what the moderator's do/have done has never been your strong point.”

“There's that arrogance again.”

“Me being correct and you being incorrect is not arrogance. You need to realize that at some point.”

“Violin.”

“Pics or it didn't happen..”

“Both have the same history of not ever going on a TT hike with other TTer's, 1camper.”

“I've hiked with Trubrit, well, camped..”

“Corn dogs are pretty good if you like um....”

“So pedx's Moderator Guidelines was just bullsh*t when it came to Q.

• Creation of additional user names for the purpose of harassing posters, generating hostility, or posting while your user name is banned.”

“Wait... there are rules against harassing posters and generating hostility?

Why is Stovie still here?”

“Why is violin still here?”

“If Q is welcome back, so should be Trubit and Sarge.”

“There was a TT "mod" that was saying the same thing.

A LOT of posters did just that.

Are you back as one of the "secret mods" again, hyway?”

“lol, I was a mod but never got to do any moderation as I left for my AT hike before they started. After I came back they had winnowed the field down to just a handful of mods.

I rarely post here because I didn't like how much moderation was going on and I came to dislike all the whining about it. I don't feel like I really miss it, but I do come by avery month or so to see whats happening, hoping to find it fun again. But seeing the most posts on the board being about moderation just makes me sad.”

“The one thing you'll never see on TT is a current TT "mod" agreeing that they just might be a big part of TT's problem.

That makes me sad.

The only one's of us regular folks left are the bonehead stubborn one's.”

“"So pedx and the other cowardly "secret mods" are playing favorites by keeping Trubit and Sarge out, and you are not by allowing your hiking buddy Q back from his "permanment" ban?"

Again, for the third time now, I was not permanently banned. Consider I as one of those who chose to stay away past the "time out period".

"So pedx's Moderator Guidelines was just bullsh*t when it came to Q.

• Creation of additional user names for the purpose of harassing posters, generating hostility, or posting while your user name is banned."

*Facepalm*

"The only one's of us regular folks left are the bonehead stubborn one's."

*FACEPALM*”

“The thing is "Que" has is not on a permanent ban. If there is a problem accessing "Que" I am happy to help in response to an email from the registered email address for Que.”

“Personally, I really doesn't matter to me. For all I know I lost the password for the "Que" account.

Optimally, laqtis should be a account restored.”

“... or the easiest thing would be just to keep this one ...

Frankly, this is a lot more work than it needs to be; all things considered. Perhaps that's the point --- and I'm not directing that in the moderation staff direction.”

“welcome back laqtis”

“Wow, some people have nothing better to do than whine about nothing...”

“Nothing makes me happier than TTers proving me right. I never get tired of it!”

“Thanks all -- including you too, StoveStomper.”

“stovie do you really not understand that he ios not posting while his user name is banned, but created a new username because he can't remember the password to the unbanned one?”

“FWIW: The "glitch", as I see it, is that since I can't/don't post under laqtis/Que that I can't/shouldn't post because it is assumed that those accounts are banned; which may or may not be the case.

If that's the case then StoveStomper should be the account Stovie uses, and has been posting while his account has been "banned", right?

Blech ... At any rate ( :) ), this is really all to do about nothing. I was not permanently banned; that's the foundation to all of this and should be the only thing that matters. Everything else is nothing but dreck.”

“Hyway, Q made and posted under many new names while in his ban period. I think you were on the AT during this time.

The "mods" claimed that doing this would result in a permanent ban. As usual, they they were less than truthful.”

“*FACEPALM*”

“Well FWIW: there is another choice -- just ignore StoveStomper comments.

Frankly, I don't advocate it but how many times do people have to listen to someone yell at people to get off their supposed lawn?”

“#&%!$hole it became

Welcome back Q!”

“Hyway, isn't it interesting that this thread is the only one that has got 50+ posts in a long while?”

“And nearly half of those 50+ posts are yours, Stovie.”

“I'm keeping TT alive!”
