No. A perusal of the UA board will easily find the user's names.

Sorry, I thought that our focus was the topics, not the members...

There was some brief discussion on this matter and with the input of the current TalkBoard members and Randy, this topic was tabled.

The moderators and their guidelines/abilities will remain as they are for now.

Thanks Spiff! :)

Just curious, what exactly are they now?


And FWIW, again, as I'd posted earlier, having just seen this thread:

http://www.flyertalk.com/forum/showt...0&page=1&pp=15

I again wondered "Among the questions to be considered, IMHO, are the "qualifications", if any, the term length or whether it is perhap a lifetime appointment, and what, if anything, could lead to censure, or possibly even removal? Thanks very much!

Gary, BYW, like most all the FT moderators, has proven to be exemplary, IMHO!

Thanks once again all! :)

If that's the way any of this is headed, then I'll have to develop the exact same oversight for that group when it comes to me being asked for input on a post of theirs or other behavior.

Just make sure when you are adddressing any of this, any behavior you note is eactly within their role as a moderator and not something that is not distinguishable from any other right that a member enjoys.

That's all I have to say.

Thanks very much for these comments.

May I politely ask however, if this below, for example, is how we want "members" to respond to posts that they feel are off base, trouble, or whatever?

Wow. A new low in cross linking drivel, even from you. Must you really add flames to what is obviously only posted to create trouble?

Pathetic.

TROLL.

That thread had no other purpose than to create trouble, and as always you tried to use it to push your own agenda.

Even the way you spell out "members" makes it clear to the community that you take pleasure in your trolling and baiting.

skofarrell Jun 22, 2004 10:34 am

I thought this question was clearly answered on post #4 and again on #19.

Did I miss something? :confused:

IMHO.

Not true I think.

Even if it was true, he may very well be mistaken as well. As has been seen on many occasions.

Hmmm.

I was twice told, in fact specifically warned by moderators (from OMNI as well as from SPAM), that calling posters a "troll" is not permissible, and that doing so would surely result in a timeout/ban for me.

Does this apply to you as well?

Incidentally, I did not do so myself, but instead simply linked to a website selling lures, and another time linked to one of your very own OMNI threads!

I am reminded of this thread, that you had promptly edited for some reason:

http://www.flyertalk.com/forum/showt...3549&highlight

If you remember, it was after one of your "buddies" again posted still another mocking, attacking, nasty post on this thread:

http://www.flyertalk.com/forum/showthread.php?t=321892

which was deleted by the moderators.


FWIW, IMHO, your posted comment in response to Goldlust, was just as likely, or perhaps even more so, to cause "trouble." Just my opinion, of course! ;)

I'd sought only to direct the thread to what I thought was a potentially constuctive thread, based upon previously and recently expressed remarks from others, including myself.

BTW, could you kindly elaborate for me please what this supposed agenda of mine is?

Thanks! :)

Have a great day all! :)

Just wondering.

After all, moderators are supposed to be mature.

Yet to be seen with regards to some, I suppose. :rolleyes:

Is that supposed to excuse we regular (i.e. non-moderator) members from having to be mature?

Another post to report, I guess.

FewMiles..

Where does it say that? Anyone who knows me knows that I am not mature. But what does that have to do with the topic?
