The thread locking is out of control

So I was just looking to see who this "Steve" character is, and zomg Steve is User ID number 1.

Avert your eyes members, Dead Cthulhu has risen from his sleep in R'lyeh!!!!!!!!!

That is not dead which can eternal lie,

And with strange aeons even death may die.

Ph'nglui mglw'nafh Cthulhu R'lyeh wgah'nagl fhtagn!

(you are all in so much fsck'ing trouble now...)

Steve is Ewok, Mike and all those other Star Wars characters. The Star Wars character du jour trotsout his Steve screen name out every time there's a problem that needs solving.

Should I be afraid ????

Afraid? AFRAID? This is Cthulhu we're talking about. Just being "afraid" would be like being "concerned" if the bed you were sleeping in suddenly caught fire. It's like ray-ee-ain on your wedding day. No no no, Len my friend. You should be...mortally freak-o-horrified for your very soul.

Not even *I* can protect you now, and as we all know, I was the only thing standing between the general membership and the evil horrors that lurk behind the masks of the moderators and admins. We are all doomed.

A thread was threatened by Mother Moderator for being in bad taste.

I appreciate your opinion, and respect your position, but out of consideration for our moderation team I would like to ask that you not purposefully encite or attack them like this.

They deserve it. The mod team today is full of control freaks with temper issues and thin skins. They are nothing like the early moderators of this site, who were far superior in conduct and temperament.

then again, maybe you just keep poking at them too much?

You two get back to the OT forum, where we belong!

Scandal? thought you waz in Brazil?

had to add something here

Yep. I am in Brazil. VJ madness reaches all the way down here too

How are the kids? Hope all is well, I am learning so much from these informative posts. We lock certain threads however then some are left open with major baiting ( usually by the same person ) , sometimes it hard not to take the bait that is for sure. I do enjoy VJ and would never want the job of a Mod cause they is always getting slammed. I take my licks and keep going though.

Go hang out with the kids Scandal. When do you come back??

I am enjoying the time with the kids, brief though it is. The weather is not great (it's rainy season here). Two of my three kids are here, and we're enjoying pool, beach, and lots of good food I'll be back in the States this weekend. Happy to return home, happy to get back to Thanti. But wish the kids were closer of course.

Regarding moderation. Those who run the site can do so as they see fit, of course. I haven't been on VJ for very long and will simply stop participating if it doesn't suit my style. I've seen the mods at work when they "protecting" me, and when they've decided others need "protecting" from me. I've seen a well known VJ alum get suspended simply for calling me "stupid". That was the word, gasp! In an OT thread., no less That was a total mod over-reaction in my opinion. And I think they've over-reacted equally when I was the "aggressor". Sour grapes? Maybe. I just don't feel like having to worry about every word written for fear of how it's going to be mod-ed.

I've been around Internet boards. This one has an interesting mix of people. I really enjoy the company of some of the folks on here (yay C4C!!) . I realize there will always be those who are disagreeable. Somehow they bother me less than the moderation ostensibly intended to keep the peace.

I will borrow this for the thread that misses you. Glad you are spending time with your kids even if one is missing.

Please feel free to split any non-related topics off as needed. For now I believe the OPs original statement has been addressed. As such I am closing to keep things in the Site Related area orgianized and on the forums topic.
