The only think that worry me much is that many of the US posters (and eventually moderators) are unaware of the internationality of the BBS, and can fall in the trap to moderate the percieved "amerihaters" just for expressing different opinions on politics, history, religion.
I mean, different of what are the US based moral and cultural values.


How can US Posters be unaware? The originating countries are right under their names!  And if their originating country is not under their name, its usually because the person is obviously embarassed by the country they live in, or their political critizism is so fragile that they fear getting the same critizism back of their own country.(See my location :D )

As to your choice of moderators, I see some good names, and I laugh at the rest...I mean come on, Mini-Dork has been banned as least once from this BBS for venting some 4-letter words on a couple of hapless posters, he was given a temporary time out!  LePaul has his own BBS that he lets pollution troll around on.(It is where alot of turds that get booted from here float around on...) About the only ones I see from my perspective as good candidates would be Toad, Mav, Seagoon and Nilsen.  The rest are just too far left lathering up hairless dogs up with margarin in La La Land.

Skydancer - you might have fallen foul of the right to free speech - you can speak your mind, as long as you agree with the vociferous majority. :aok

No, I believe hairless dogs coated in margarine are permissible, even here. They sure make a mess if you let them up on the furniture though.

Wrong, wrong, wrong.  There are rules for posting.  "Free speech" does not apply.  We make the rules as we have been granted that right.  You can chose to ignore them and when you do, you have made the choice to no longer be a part of this community.
Read the rules.  Make the choice.

:D At least someone still has a sense of humor here. (And can read humor objectively without getting their panties in a bunch)

The term "free speech" is neither an absolute, nor is it free. It is only the right to speak your mind and have it published or make a speech in a public area as long as you comply with the laws in doing so. You are free to criticise the Government but that freedom does not apply to private enterprises such as a BBS owned by a third party. The same as if you decide to spray paint your opinion on property belonging to another person / entity.

Beetle, you want to complain about the US you are certainly free to do so, using your own rescources at your own expense. It does not mean that another person MUST allow you to do so using their resources.

I do believe you are educated enough to understand this situation so please don't play the "free speech" card to cover your ill manners.

FWIW this could cover several other posters on the BBS besides you.  Me too at times as well.

Geez, lighten up, guys! Skuzzy, maybe I should have used :p instead of :lol - as my remarks were meant to be tongue in cheek! Maybe we need a new emoticon for that - I will look for one...

Maverick - WTF!!! Me? Complain about the US?! Why would I do that? But I agree with the point you made about the use of other people's resources. It would be nice to think that such a policy was a two way street - maybe that's starting to happen, but I sometimes think one direction has more lanes than the other.

BUT.... in the renewed spirit of BBS cordiality, let us all do what we can to avoid country bashing threads.

Skuzzy,

When Pyro posted the forum rules, I read them.  I just read them for the first time since then.  Perhaps it would be wise to create a check box in front of each rule.  BBS users would be required to check each box and click an “I Agree” button.  As a reminder, this could be a requirement every three months or so for posters.  (Hmm, if you implement this I sure will get a lot of flak…)

I don't think it matters what your views are, whether you are anonymous, or whether you agree with the rules.

A moderators job is to enforce the rules...period. Monitor them, inform them, then kick them.

People will ALWAYS accuse you of bias when you function as a moderator, so don't worry about it.

I'm a cop, so I learned a long time ago everybody is always innocent, especially those who get caught :).

Just a question that may have been asked somewere before (sorry if it has)

What can one of these mods do if that is the choise you go with?

deleting content that clearly breakes rules?
temporarily banning users that misbehave?
editing content?
etc..

Or just moving suspect threads to another forum were HTC can make a review them?

As I said. If Skuzzmeister and posse wants me too, id be willing to help out. I spend alot of time here so why not. Seems that some of you users would trust me too and thats nice. thx :)
