I'd just like to thank Pnats for lifting my unexplained banning. I do suspect why I was unfairly banned, but I can't really mention it here for fear of banning. Proof that it's not what you know but who you know.Welcome back Richie!!

Mary, how about some kind of guidance for the mods? Like suggestions as to what type of things to delete etc. Since ive been a mod I havent deleted anything because I believe in free speech unless something truly offensive or out of place is said. However if Im told what sort of things you would like to see deleted then I will be more active. I agree with Adrian on this, when I became a mod I wasn't given any guidelines. I haven't deleted anything either for the same reasons

I haven't deleted anything either for the same reasons Bottom Line... Guidelines need to be drawn up. TOS posted, so people know up front, a place for the MODS to discuss what needs to take place/suggestions, etc. Someone mentioned something like 3-strikes and your out. The thing is... If someone is really out to push their luck and harass people, or what ever. This is not the kind of forum to do that. Nothing is wrong with joking and cutting up... but anytime you have this many people in one place. There has to be (in my opinion), some respect when communicating with one another. I have received word that a handful of folks would like to make SHY Forum... the kind of place Shane would be proud of. One thing came to my mind through all of this.... Often times people get pushed around and belittled where ever they are in this ol world. This forum is suppose to be a place that each of us can be timid (shy around others), without being bashed, ridiculed or harassed. It will take some time... but we will strive put some changes in place that should be of benefit to SHY United and those members that have made it what it is. Take Care, Mary

Mary So what happens when it is a moderator doing the bashing, ridiculing, or harrassing?

Mary So what happens when it is a moderator doing the bashing, ridiculing, or harassing? MsPnats, Then you need to send me the name of that mod and the post in question (admin@shyunited.com). The people that can not seem to get along will simply need to find somewhere else to attack each other. Not here.... Period. Frankly, we should be carrying on.... the issue has been addressed and we are trying to get from point a to point b. I am trying my level best to be fair to all parties. Those that don't seem to want to do that, must not want a resolution... only an argument. Once again... that isn't the purpose of this board. It may have been of recent. but it WILL stop. One way or another. Choice is in the hands of the few that are trying to ruin it for the majority. We are suppose to be adults here. Or at least old enough to warrant being here. This squabbling like a bunch of little kids is absurd. Now... can we please strive to go forward? Thank You Much, Mary
