[QUOTE="BadgeBunny, post: 2653826, member: 1242"] I tend to believe the members here are actually right -- for once ... :P I am a member on an international board ... I remember when they opened up their "Darkside" forum ... it's been a success for them and a couple of the moderators there told me it really made things easier for them. Instead of getting PMs insisting they do something about so-and-so they started getting PMs from disinterested members (members who didn't have a dog in the fight but wanted to keep the forums subject to searches free of junk ...) asking them to take a look at this, that or the other. There is still drama, to be sure, but nothing like the old days ... Moderators still moderate there ... and they have the last word ... but those mods are a tad bit less sensitive than some of the others. This board has a huge female and junior member presence that they are ferociously protective of. In fact men are regularly handed time-outs and bans for posting in the "Women's Only" forum. Am a member of a couple of other national boards who have the same kind of Pit-stop ... anyone who enters and engages leaves their whiny voices at the door. I've not seen their membership ... or standing in the internet community ... or advertising dollars from sponsors adversely affected. Of course, I don't have any blood, sweat or tears invested -- nor is it my Benjamins on the line here -- so whatever JB decides I'll roll with ... Last thing I have to say ... and I've said this in the moderator's section -- is I have a problem with folks who haven't "stayed the course" with OSA "popping in the door" and complaining. But then again ... if this was JB's decision and the rest of us mods were just left out of the loop ... well then ... I'm just kinda at a loss for words then ... and apologies for voicing my opinion on the matter. [/QUOTE]
