You're not kidding! I didn't realize that a mod participated in it so much--it's surprising it wasn't just moved at the time. Seems like a far simpler solution.

Having read the full thread in question, I felt comfortable moving it in its entirety to Spirit Prison. There's plenty of Spirit Paradise conversation in it, but there's also a chunk borderline material and occasional clear Prison-ish comments that you can't split without completely breaking the coherency of the discussion. I tend to favor splitting, but this one does seem appropriate to just move.

Not necessarily, but please give me some time to address this in more detail.


Any complaints were due to miscommunication on my part. I'll give more detail later, but first I need to continue reading and weighing the various statements made in this thread. (This quick response from me is just as much a reminder to myself to NOT let your post go unanswered.)


I own it. They are saddled with enough expectations from me as it is; I can't reasonably expect them to account (or apologize!) for MY thought processes. Should they decline to explain themselves, feel free to ask me what's up and I'll step in.


Like I said, more on this is forthcoming.

Dear participants,

You have been heard. From this point forward:

• All instances of swear words will be left intact for the word censor to catch. The only ones that will be edited out will be the ones in which the poster evaded the word censor.
• Any communications to moderators via reports will be kept in strict confidence.
• When you discuss issues regarding moderators and moderating, any moderators involved will be in "moderator mode," even if they use black text.
• Yes, consistency is the goal, to the extent we are able.
• When fielding questions about moderators or moderating, all answers will be direct and to the point.

If you found the contents of this thread to be less-than-optimal, or if anything said here caused you to lose faith in the moderation, it was due to my failure to properly communicate my wishes to my moderators.

So, that's on me, not them, and you have my apologies.

Thank you, Shades. Your words are so much appreciated.

:-)

Great. Hope this helps your board.

Question: With all your pontification on participants rights: Why are posts by me still being screened by EAllusion et al and only posted with days delayed? Why are they delayed at all? What is it about being a conservative entrepreneur on this board that causes the discrimination. Hope u can address relative to all tolerances you’ve allowed on this board.

Because you're on the queue in the Spirit Paradise and the Terrestrial fora.


They aren't delayed that long. We click on them as soon as we see a flag that there's a post waiting to be approved or disapproved.


Because you're on the queue in this and the Spirit Paradise and Terrestrial fora.


It was the personal attacks, not the conservative entrepreneurship, that caused you to be on the queue.


Your wish is my command.

What personal attacks?!?! Go ahead and reprint here:

I’m pretty sure it had more to do with truth and the thin skin of a certain mod but I’m more than willing to wait for you to provide the evidence!
