This thread is for the posting of nominations to members of the board that you feel receive extra leeway in posting whatever controversial or nonsensical gibberish... Clearly I'd like to nominate myself. Please back up your claim with an example of where you thought someone was given way too much fr...

On the porn/pollster thread started by arbi, Catherder replied to one of my posts ... "Ladies, if you have a problem with the fact I put on the moderator's hat in that other thread by asking what I did of you, then avail yourself of the moderation review process. I stated my reason for the request w...

So, I've invited someone to come here. Hope I'm not stepping out of bounds. As far as I can tell, she's a very nice relatively new member, who currently lives too much of her life off in tinfoil-hat land and leans towards believing 9-11 conspiracy theories. Since a) nobody would let her talk politi...

I moved Ray's threads from Signs of the Times to General Discussions, which seemed like a more appropriate place for them.

The consensus seems to be that it would be useful to have a discussion on which emoticons are off limits. I don't have the time as forum administrator to create a new list with only approved emoticons, so, in the tradition of Joseph Smith, if we can decide on the correct principles, I hope that the member...

I edited out an inappropriate emoticon in the crabby thread. I got on Coco's case for it once, so I figured that I should be consistent and edit it out this time, too. I would turn off certain emoticons if I could, but it's either turn them all off or leave them all on.

Please either work out your issues in another thread that is moderated by someone besides me... or argue privately... Because I personally think you are both acting like teenagers... I am finding it more than difficult to be objective... simply because I just find the whole "you offended me.....

Ok, so this isn't a moderation issue, it's a technical issue. I figured this was a good place to put it to have it get attention, though. (Feel free to move or delete this as you see fit, Arbi.) So, the Recent posts page isn't in chronological order today. Strange. And if you look at the Word Association th...

Could we move the "WotC announces D&D 4th Edition Rules " to a part of the forum which is not in the "super secret" vault? I was following some threads in the vault, and I dislike needing to sign on to see that more was added to a thread which doesn't need to be kept secret.

Would you please move this into the general discussion area? I removed the parts that I didn't want in the open area. Thanks. Or, it wouldn't hurt my feelings if it were removed all together. -- Edited by palmon at 11:41, 2007-08-30

I closed the open communication thread as a pre-emptive measure to avoid bashing another forum, or to discuss their real or perceived bashing of us.

I have closed the Honesty thread because it became unproductive and strayed into a violation of Bountiful rules. I hope that no one perceives intentional or unintentional censure of any of the thread participants by this action. Please do not open a new thread to continue the discussion. Any such ne...

The "Friends who leave the church" thread has been deleted per the request of Roper, the thread starter.

I hope this is a good location for this query. I was wondering how long we were going to continue putting all things Deathly Hallows in spoiler tags. It might be a good thing to know what we're all expecting.

Convert has left us forever because of continued personal insults. I'm frankly shocked at the nature of this board for the past month or two. We've been driving away new members because their beliefs do not agree with ours. Many longtime posters have been posting much less frequently, although this...

I edited an emoticon out of Coco's post in the Guy/Action film thread. It actually helped make her point very well, but I think that that particular emoticon is disturbing, and not in keeping with the standards of this board.

Cat is right; the Evolution thread was heating up too much. I have closed it, and deleted the last inflammatory post that sought to continue the argument

Cat served for a while as a posse moderator, helping me out when we had a large volume of trolls. He told me that he has been uncomfortable with uber moderator status, and this recent incident seems to have been really hard on him. So I have restored him to his previous moderator duties. What this means is...

Cat, I feel that it was inappropriate to ask people not directly involved in the Greatest Issue discussion to not post to the thread. While that may be how you envisioned the process, it is nowhere specified that that is the way it works. The post on the moderation process does talk about the complainan...

Someone said that a comment I made on a thread might make people feel disinclined to post on that thread, or even scared of the moderators. I am curious to see if that's actually how it came across, so I'm posting my comment here and asking for your vote in the poll. BTW, folks, the discussion is fine so far...
