SIlversun,
I made that suggestion once before that they post under their own username and I got blocked....I agree that moderators are needed to keep things in order, but not to control and abuse their power as a moderator.....Perhaps if we all just chilled for a while, and just agree with them, things might get better...Now we all have a pretty good idea of what they think is accceptable and what isn't. As members maybe we might pull this off without the moderator having a reason to moderate us.....

It will be fixed shortly. Please realize we will not respond to most pm's and please give the new moderators some slack in the coming weeks.

If any former moderator has questions please pm me.

Nonacona,

Agree with which one of them. As long as we limit the topic of our conversations to "picture of my new dog", "Is your grass still green?", and "My dog poops brown", we may see fewer deletions. Inevitably, though, one of the moderators will have a problem with each of those thread topics.

Freedom of speech should not be an issue. Everyone who signs up agrees to abide by the TOS. Anything violating the TOS should be deleted- no more, no less.

No one is arguing freedom of speech as a matter of legality, but as a matter of principle. It would have been much easier for Oli to tell the people that cannot seem to mosey past the posts/threads that scare, anger, or emote other feelings of angst, to be grown up enough to bypass these topics. Just sayin'.

This is a dog forum all the rest is not needed. Speaking of your freedom of speech use it to comment on any dog related thread you want.

Sunsilver,

How do you know the following statement that you made to be true?

"the mods just hid out in the moderator forum and licked their wounds. "

To my knowledge there was NO moderator forum when I moderated....one was much needed but there was none!

Mod,

No matter where or what I post, I keep getting deleted by someone with a personal issue. Because you guys can hide in anonymity, and because you have seemingly little controlling authority over you, and because your scruples are questionable at best, it's not worth my time.

Even Jim and Prager ,arguably the two most knowledgeable members on this forum, are unable to safely render advice.

Understand that you are just a moderator on a dog forum. People here resent your Cartmanesque attitude toward us little people. For some people, power, even in moderation, is dangerous.

RFS, I absolutely see what you are saying, but if someone reads the TOS and feels it would infringe the principle of their freedom of speech, then this wouldn't be the forum for them.

I know to some extent the TOS can be slightly open for interpretation, which is where absolutely unbiased moderators come in.
