Hey members, lets talk.

Dudes, not impressed by the vid. Too masculine. Monica Brant or Keri Russel

wtr u talkin aboot?

i never said u said that, thats my opinion

Seriously, I said the same thing to the mods, more than once. Not as a straitjacket, not as "do this or I'll demod you" but as a Real Good Idea.

Now, don't get me wrong. If a mod posts on page one, one time, and the thread goes crappy on page six, I don't have a problem with the same mod locking it up at that point.

Where we agree is more along these lines -- say a mod is in the middle of a shitfight on page six. Should he be allowed to lock that thread just to get the last word? No. If another mod sees that it's going nowhere fast, though, it shouldn't matter that one of the monkeys throwing dung happens to be a mod. I think the second mod should tell the first mod that it's time to back off, and should lock the thread the same as any other shitfight. The first mod should not be the one to actually do the locking (and should not post after the lock).

Robots make lousy mods. Our mods are human. We appreciate them putting in the hours they do, and we want them to be able to participate here fully. No, we don't want them to abuse their powers. By the same token, we don't want members baiting mods and then crying because they kept pushing buttons until they got a reaction. That's not fair either.

Ok. Aren't you glad you let me back on the board?

No. Monica Brant doing straight legged deadlift wearing a thong.

Yeah, I got that.
