Just as I feared.

Of course, when it comes to lashing out with snark, rebeccajo is no shrinking violet either.

I feel unloved now.

About time you realized the truf.

It's ok. Ewok still loves you. Don't you, Ewok?

Then I apologize.

No need to apologize, but accepted just the same.

You need to get a thicker skin when it comes to me. I've been around here so long and had so many dealings with so many people. You really aren't the first person I've come across on this board who I've disagreed with.

I have my doubts about mox. The current crop of mods are way too snarky as it is. Mox is the king of snark.

Exactly. Snarkiness is an asset.

I am on at random times given alerts on my blackberry to problems sometimes.

Ah, so it was a 'nuclear' moment then.

Gotcha.

No shrinking violet here. Never have been, never will be.

Lioness.

lol I just looked up what kind of "animal" I am on a personality test and I got Unicorn. Seriously thats not an animal EVEN if its on the GB Passport.

To Mox: See you don't have to worry about Unicorns only Rainbows now.

Sister Len pointed me at this thread.

I've skimmed it, haven't read the whole thing.

I used to be much more active on VJ. I will still go into paroxysms of posting, especially late-nite with Spooky. But I've pretty much abandoned it.

Mostly because of the moderation.

I know, I know, before everyone jumps up to tell me. I know all about how it's a private site and I agreed to the TOS, and Ewok can have it moderated as he sees fit, blah blah blah.

With the standard advice being that if I don't like it, I'm welcome to leave. Well, I've pretty much done just that. I.e., leave.

If that's the intended reason for the heavy handed and arbitrary moderation policy on VJ - to shoo out those of us who aren't afraid of having our ideas challenged or our feelings insulted, but ARE unwilling to be treated like schoolchildren -- well, it's worked.

Congrats mods. Keep up the good (?) work.

[rebeccajo 14]

Wots everybody doin'?

Here here! I'm not nearly as active around here as I used to be, and for much the same reasons as scandal. I got tired of hearing 'It's Ewok's board and he can do what he wants' - usually from sycophants or others who hadn't been around long enough to know what they're talking about...or even those who just don't really care and think those of us who do should shut up and go away. Head/brick wall.

It is Ewok's board, but I think (hope) even he would admit this board wouldn't be much if it weren't for those of us who have contributed a lot to it.

Threads like this are almost ALWAYS closed, and rather rapidly, I might add. Sorry, Ewok (et al), but you guys just do not like to talk about problems or admit that there might be any. Never have, probably never will. I guess the status quo is just easier and you figure at some point, the restless natives will get tired and go away.

The fact that this thread is still open must surely be a sign of the apocalypse.

This is a HUGE message board, a large part of which parlays information that is VERY important and, in many instances, life altering. Given this fact, I've never understood why moderators were not sought out who were 'experts' in a particular immigration area and thus assigned to moderate those areas. You have got to start separating the wheat from the chaff if you want VJ to stop becoming the hodge podge of dodgy immi information that it seems to have become (until a more knowledgeable member passes through). Heck, in the real 'busy' forums (AOS and K1 come to mind), it may help to even have 2 knowledgeable mods.

That doesn't mean we do away with Global Mods, but maybe some of the grief the global mods get would be diminished if they didn't feel they had to be everywhere at once.

I'm sure all this will be for naught, but I had to put it out there.
